我的長周末

九月份的第一個星期一是美國的勞動節, 過勞動節時, 大部份的美國人都去沙灘曬太陽或者去親戚朋友的家烤肉喝啤酒等等. 有些商店會舉行勞動節大減價.

因為工作的關係,我勞動節沒有放假. 下班了以後,我跟我太太一起去了我們叔叔的家參加聚會. 我們的家人很喜歡做好吃的菜,比如說烤雞翅,牛肉炒粉,芥蘭和各種各樣的點心. 

雖然我勞動節沒有長周末,但是過得很愉快.

例：方法、緣故、書籍、奴隸、聆聽、增益、了解、惦(ㄉㄧㄢˋ)念、遷徙、駕駛、販賣、網羅、遮蔽、羨慕、怨尤、顫抖、醞釀、碩大、藐小、愚昧、虛偽(ㄨㄟˋ)、誠懇、遙遠、粗糙(ㄘㄠ)、慚愧

第二天, 王先生遇到方先生. 方先生說,他昨天有事兒, 甚麼事情我們不知道. 這件事兒肯定很重要, 因為他錯過了這個隆重的宴會.  

方先生看起來很好奇,他問王先生有多少親戚和親戚的關係. 王先生回答, 父親有三個弟弟, 母親有一個哥哥和兩個姊妹. 方先生表示, 他真希望認識他們.
