So beautiful morning here in BJ. The air is fresh and the sun is shining. And I was told to come down to XuanWu Park to have a look at what the people are doing here. It seems like some kind of game or maybe it’s some formal exercise. It looks exciting. I wonder what it is. Later I am going to ask some people what they are doing and why they are doing it.
在北京这个美丽的清晨,空气清新,阳光明媚。朋友叫我来到了宣武公园看一看人们在这儿干些什么。这种东西看似是一种游戏,或是一种什么锻炼,非常有趣。我想要知道这是什么东西。一会儿我会问一问他们在做什么,为什么做这个活动。
