课文八   《雨点儿》

数不清的雨点儿，从云彩里飘落下来。
半空中，大雨点儿问小雨点儿：“你要到哪里去？”
小雨点儿回答：“我要去有花有草的地方。你呢？”
大雨点儿说：“我要去没有花没有草的地方。”
不久，有花有草的地方，花更红了，草更绿了。
没有花没有草的地方，长出了红的花，绿的草。

课文八：雨点儿  Raindrops

ANGELICA: Doesn’t the bride look beautiful in that wedding dress?
MARIA: Yes. She looks amazing. And the groom is so romantic. 
I just heard the story of how they got engaged! He 
proposed to her during a candlelight dinner in London. 
Did you know that was where they went to school?
ANGELICA: Oh? Wonderful. And the honeymoon! What a great 
idea! Most people just go to the beach for a week 
after they tie the knot. But they plan on heading to 
California and cruising the coast on their motorcycle.
MARIA: Really! What a fantastic idea. This is by far the best 
wedding I’ve ever been to



LANGUAGE NOTES
• Doesn’t …? When you have a negative question, the expected answer is “yes.” As 
such, it expresses the exact opposite of what is being conveyed (i.e., the bride DOES 
look absolutely beautiful).
• Listen to the stress on honeymoon. There are three syllables in “honeymoon,” with the 
stress on the first syllable [HO-ney-moon]. This content word is culturally important, so 
it’s emphasized: It means a trip or vacation taken by a newly married couple.
• Tie the knot is an informal way of saying “get married.”
• Can you find and explain the two usages of just in this dialogue? “Just” is an adverb 
that can be used in two different ways:
 a) To indicate a very recent past (I just heard the story). When used to convey 
time, “just” is commonly used with a simple past verb because the action is 
complete. Sometimes it can also be used with the present perfect (He’s just 
finished writing a book).
 b) To indicate contrast or emphasis (Most people just go to the beach). In that 
case, “just” can be replaced by “simply” and emphasize the word it relates to 
(a verb, adjective or other adverb) by denoting contrast. Compare the following 
sentences: “They just got married yesterday” (adverb of time). “The wedding 
reception was just wonderful” (adverb of emphasis).

My students always ask me this question. I have to say, there’re some differences indeed. 

Crystal Gao's Chinese Language Journey

10、“对不起”VS“不好意思” = What’s the difference between ‘Dui bu qi’ and ‘Bu hao yi si’?

Do must and have to mean the same thing? 🤔

Sometimes yes, sometimes no! In this episode, we dive into the subtle but important differences between these two forms of obligation. 

You’ll learn when they overlap, when they don’t, and why the negatives, must not and don’t have to
can completely change the meaning. 

Clear examples and everyday situations make this grammar point simple and memorable. Perfect for English learners who want to sound accurate and confident.
