An article with two words

  1. Dengdeng

    亮亮(liàngliàng)，你(nǐ)昨天(zuótiān)发(fā)的(de)那篇(nàpiān)文章(wénzhāng)，我(wǒ)看(kàn)了(le)。

    Liangliang, I read the article you posted yesterday.

  2. Liangliang

    怎么样(zěnmeyàng)？我(wǒ)写(xiě)了(le)一个(yīgè)星期(xīngqī)。

    How was it? I wrote it for a week.

  3. Dengdeng

    文章(wénzhāng)不(bù)长(cháng)，题目(tímù)叫(jiào)我的一天(wǒdeyītiān)。

    The article is short. The title is called "My Day".

  4. Liangliang

    对(duì)，我(wǒ)本来(běnlái)想(xiǎng)写(xiě)很多(hěnduō)，可是(kěshì)……

    Yes, I wanted to write a lot, but...

  5. Dengdeng

    可是(kěshì)文章(wénzhāng)里(lǐ)只有(zhǐyǒu)两个字(liǎnggèzì)：早上(zǎoshang)。

    But the article has only two words: "morning".

  6. Liangliang

    因为(yīnwèi)写(xiě)完(wán)早上(zǎoshang)，我(wǒ)就(jiù)睡着(shuìzháo)了(le)。

    Because after I wrote morning, I fell asleep.
