What you love

  1. Liangliang

    琦琦(qíqí)，你(nǐ)为什么(wèishénme)每天(měitiān)都(dōu)画画(huàhuà)？

    Qiqi, why do you draw every day?

  2. Qiqi

    因为(yīnwèi)我(wǒ)热爱(rèài)画画(huàhuà)。

    Because I love drawing.

  3. Dengdeng

    你(nǐ)热爱(rèài)画画(huàhuà)，怎么(zěnme)不(bù)去(qù)当(dāng)画家(huàjiā)呢(ne)？

    If you love it, why not become a painter?

  4. Qiqi

    热爱(rèài)和(hé)工作(gōngzuò)不一样(bùyīyàng)，我(wǒ)怕(pà)画(huà)多(duō)了(le)就(jiù)不(bù)喜欢(xǐhuan)了(le)。

    Loving it and working are different. I'm afraid I'll stop liking it.

    有道理(yǒudàoli)，我(wǒ)热爱(rèài)美食(měishí)，所以(suǒyǐ)不(bù)当(dāng)厨师(chúshī)。

    Makes sense. I love food, so I won't be a cook.

  6. Dengdeng

    那(nà)你(nǐ)就(jiù)当(dāng)我们(wǒmen)的(de)试吃员(shìchīyuán)吧(ba)！
