嗨，大家好！我是The Trilingual Chatbox的主持人Lori。今天要和大家分享一則輕鬆的報導，我使用的語言程度大約在HSK漢語水平考試的第3至第4級，開始前，先給大家三個聽力問題。
問題一、聯絡簿是用來做什麼的？
問題二、學生會在聯絡簿裡寫什麼呢？
問題三、「孤兒」是什麼意思？
試試看用中文回答，下一集我再給大家答案，WordPress網站上也會有答案喔！
那我們現在開始囉！
台灣中小學的各個學校一直以來都會用「聯絡簿」來幫助老師和家長保持聯絡。老師如果有規定回家作業的話，學生也會把指定₁的功課、和隔天₂的考試項目寫在聯絡本裡面，帶回家給家長看，然後家長簽名。 這樣的話，家長們就可以知道，孩子有什麼作業需要檢查，學生也比較不會偷懶₃。 那聯絡簿的另外一個功能，就是可以讓老師更了解學生。一般來說，台灣中小學的老師們都會指定學生在聯絡簿裡面寫小日記。有的老師會規定主題，有的還會要求字數；比如說，每天至少要寫50個字。當然也有些老師會讓學生自由發揮₄，所以學生不僅可以寫小作文、還可以畫畫。
不過，不是每個學生的文筆₅都很好，所以老師們在當導師₆的時候，批改小日記就成為既有趣又頭痛的一件事了，尤其小學生的文章，經常寫得又簡單、又搞笑。那今天要分享的報導呢，就是由一名家長分享他的兒子所寫的小日記，然後他拍了照片放在網路上面，大家可以點一下連結₇去看一看這則小日記。不過因為是小學生的文章，句子不是很通順。但我想在學華語的各位，可能剛開始的時候也會寫出相似₈的文章。如果大家有看到圖片的話，就會發現這個小學生也還在學寫漢字。
好，那我念一下這個小朋友寫的日記。他說：
「我會用『胖』來形容爸爸，因為爸爸七十多公斤，我一定要提醒爸爸要減肥，不然就要八、九或一百公斤，然後媽媽要是爸太胖，跟他離婚，我就變孤兒₉了，好可怕。」
我不知道這個學生的年紀多大，不過我覺得他還滿有幽默感的，他竟然認為媽媽會因為爸爸太胖就決定要離婚，這點就很好笑了。然後，他還覺得父母離婚之後，他會變成孤兒。這個小孩兒可能還不了解，父母如果只是分開、但都還活著，孩子是不會成了孤兒的。他的爸爸看完這篇日記之後，就覺得哭笑不得₁₀，既想哭、又想笑。我相信這個小朋友的老師，應該也會一邊批改日記、一邊哈哈大笑吧！

Hi guys! I’m Lori, the host of the Trilingual Chatbox. Today I want to share a simple news story that will lighten up your day. The language proficiency level is at around HSK3 to 4. Now let’s get started.
Elementary and middle schools in Taiwan have long used contact logs to help connect teachers and parents. If the teachers at school have assigned homework, or if there will be some pop quizzes in class the following day, the students will also write these down as a list in the contact log and take it home for their parents to have a look and sign. This way, parents can know if there’s homework they need to check, and students are less likely to slack off at home. Another thing about a contact log is that it allows teachers to learn more about their students. Generally speaking, teachers of elementary and middle schools in Taiwan would require students to keep a journal in their contact books. Some teachers will assign a theme for the day, and some will set a minimum word count, such as at least 50 words per day. Of course, some teachers encourage students to be spontaneous, so students can not only write a short composition but also draw pictures in their logs.
However, not every student is a good writer. So to homeroom teachers, marking these contact log journals becomes both an amusing job and sometimes a nuisance, especially when these short compositions are often simple and funny. And the news story I’m sharing today is such a piece distributed online by a parent. He took a shot of his son’s work and put it up on the internet. I’ll include a link in the descriptions for you guys to check out the photo. Because the text was written by an elementary school student, it was not smooth enough. Yet I think anyone who learns Chinese may produce similar sentences when they first start, right? Looking at the picture, you’ll find that the kid is still learning to write Chinese characters.
Okay, now I will read from this student’s journal. He wrote,
I would use ‘fat’ to describe my father because my father is more than 70 kilograms. I have to remind my father to lose weight, or otherwise, he will turn 80, 90, or 100 kilograms. And if my mother decides to divorce my father because he’s too fat, I will become an orphan. It’s terrifying.

I don’t know how old this student is, but personally, I think he has a good sense of humor. It’s funny because he actually believes that his mother will decide to get a divorce if his father gets overweight. Plus, he also feels that if his parents get divorced, he will become an orphan. This kid doesn’t realize that when parents are only separated but still alive, their child does not become an orphan. After reading this journal, his father said he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. And I’m sure the teacher must be laughing hysterically while marking it too.
