안 내면 진 거, 가위바위보!
Okay, I know 가위바위보. 
Scissors, Rock, Paper. Right?
But what is 안 내면 진 거?

안 내면 If you don’t participate
진 거, you lose.

Actually, this is just for a warm-up before 가위바위보.
The meaning is not that important but we do it 
because this rhythm makes us ready.  
So try to get used to the rhythm and melody

So if you play 가위바위보, just try it!
안 내면 진 거, 가위바위보!


무슨 말인지 알겠어요? You got it?
That’s it!
다음 시간에 만나요! See you next time!

和大家推荐一本书籍林海音《城南旧事》及其改编而成的电影，英文译名为《My Memories of Old Beijing》，女主人的童稚与特定背景下普通人民的生活都发人深省，让我不禁想到一句话“时代的一粒沙落在个人肩膀上就是一座山”。

以下为节选：

1.	请不要为了那页已消逝的时光而惆怅，如果这就是成长，那么就让我们安之若素。

2.	人生就像是一块拼图，认识一个人越久越深，这幅图就越完整。但它始终无法看到全部，因为每一个人都是一个谜，没必要一定看透，却总也看不完。

3.	我将来要写一本书，我要把天和海分清楚，我要把好人和坏人分清楚，也要把疯子和贼子分清楚，但是我现在却是什么也分不清。

4.	爸爸的花儿落了，我已不再是小孩子。

5.	老师教给我，要学骆驼，沉得住气的动物。看它从不着急，慢慢地走，慢慢地嚼，总会走到的，总会吃饱的。也许它天生是该慢慢的，偶然躲避车子跑两步，姿势很难看。

6.	走人生的路程就像爬山一样，看起来走了许多冤枉的路，崎岖的路，但最终会到达山顶。

7.	这些人都随着我的长大没有了影子了。是跟着我失去的童年一起失去了吗？

8.	夏天过去，秋天过去，冬天又来了，骆驼队又来了，但是童年却一去不还。冬阳底下学骆驼咀嚼的傻事，我也不会再做了。

9.	我默默地想，慢慢地写。看见冬阳下的骆驼队走过来，听见缓慢悦耳的铃声，童年重临于我的心头。

10.	我虽然很害怕，但是也得硬着头皮去——这是爸爸说的，无论什么困难的事，只要硬着头皮去做，就闯过去了。
