From summer to winter, every Saturday 8am has started our Chinese class time. I have been admiring these two engineers who, after a week of hard work, were able to get up early to learn Chinese, no matter how bad the weather was and how cold and heat it was. Today I taught them the word "xīnkǔ：hard work". They told me "Teacher，we appreciate your hard effort", and I said "it’s me appreciate your hard effort." You say "we do but we are very happy", I think it's worthy anyway now.
從夏天到冬天，每個星期六的早上八點是我們的中文課時間。我很佩服這兩位工程師在辛苦了一個禮拜後，還能夠早起學習中文，風雨無阻，不畏寒暑。今天學了「辛苦」這個詞，他們跟我說「老師辛苦了」，我回說「你們更辛苦」。你們說「辛苦，可是很開心」，我想那就值得了。
