我們小時候不像你們現在這樣功課那麼多
我們可以去抓青蛙
灌蟋蟀
還有去撿田螺
還有一大群的小朋友那裡踢足球
我們那時候就非常非常的快樂
沒有像你們現在功課那麼多

所以你們會去河邊玩嗎？
會啊 就玩球,足球那些的

那阿嬤小時候住的地方像怎樣？
三合院

所以就是全部的家都一起住？
對啊
所以
前後院都很大所以常常會在那裡玩
然後我以前上學的時候是走路去
大概走一公里
但是都邊走邊玩所以也不會覺得很遠 但是五年級之後就要課外補習 因為要考初中 所以就會留到很晚 然後因為老師說要早一點去學校 阿我們鄉下又都比腳早睡 所以大家都大概清晨三四點就去學校 我最喜歡的童年回憶是過節的時候 因為大家可以聚在一起 也可以一起玩 另外一個就是採水果 因為我們家有很多大土地 所以就會種水果然後自己吃 大概就這樣

When we were kids, we didn't have as much homework as you do now
we can go catch frogs
water crickets
And pick up snails
There's a whole bunch of kids playing football there
We were very, very happy
Not as much homework as you are now

So will you play by the river?
Yes, just play ball, football or something

What was the place where Grandma lived when she was a child?
Sanheyuan

So the whole family lives together?
Yup
so
The front and back yards are very large, so I often play there
Then I used to walk when I was in school
About a kilometer
But I walk and play, so I don’t think it’s very far. But after the fifth grade, I need extra-curricular tutoring because I have to take the junior high school entrance examination, so I will stay until late, and because the teacher said to go to school earlier, we all go to bed earlier than our feet in the countryside, so Everyone goes to school at about three or four in the morning. My favorite childhood memory is during the festivals, because we can get together and play together. Another one is picking fruit. Because our family has a lot of land, we will grow fruit and eat it by ourselves. That's about it
