我饿了
How to say I'm hungry in Chinese
Name: ________________ Date: ________
我五岁的时候，学会了一句很好用的话：“我饿了。”
早上，我对奶奶说：“奶奶，我饿了。”奶奶给了我一个鸡蛋。
上午，我对妈妈说：“妈妈，我饿了。”妈妈给了我一个苹果。
下午，我对邻居阿姨说：“阿姨，我饿了。”阿姨给了我两块蛋糕。
晚上，我对爸爸说：“爸爸，我饿了。”
爸爸问：“你今天吃了什么？”我说：“一个鸡蛋，一个苹果，两块蛋糕，还有午饭。”
爸爸笑了：“那你不是饿了，你是想吃。”
我家还有一个妹妹，她一岁了。她还不会说“爸爸”，也不会说“妈妈”。
第二天早上，妹妹看着奶奶，说了她的第一句话：“饿了！”
大家都看着我。
奶奶笑着问：“这句话，是谁教的？”

English (for the teacher)
When I was five, I learned a very useful sentence: “I'm hungry.”
In the morning I told Grandma, “Grandma, I'm hungry.” Grandma gave me an egg.
Later that morning I told Mum, “Mum, I'm hungry.” Mum gave me an apple.
In the afternoon I told the lady next door, “Auntie, I'm hungry.” She gave me two pieces of cake.
In the evening I told Dad, “Dad, I'm hungry.”
Dad asked, “What have you eaten today?” I said, “An egg, an apple, two pieces of cake, and lunch.”
Dad laughed. “Then you're not hungry. You just want to eat.”
I also have a little sister, and she's one. She can't say “Daddy” yet, or “Mummy”.
The next morning my sister looked at Grandma and said her very first words: “Hungry!”
Everyone looked at me.
Grandma smiled and asked, “Now who taught her that?”
