Chinese work

There has been a prolonged period of inactivity on this blog so I thought I'd tell you about some of the work we have been doing. Today the chinese class had an oral assessment. We had to speak on the topic "Wo zui xihuan de ren" which is the person I like the most. We had limited vocab to work with but ill share with you what I wrote. I wont put the english translation, someone who speaks mandarin can do it in the comments or make a new post.
My speech

Ge wei hao
Wo zui xihuan de ren shi wode gege. Ta jiao Adam. Ta bu tai gao ye bu tai ai. Ta hui shuo yi dianr fa wen.
Ta xihuan kan ying wen shu, ke shi bu xihuan kan fa wen shu.
Ta hen hao kan. Ta shi ge hen hao de xue shang. Ta ai he pi jiu ye ai he pu tao jiu. Ta bu hui chang ge. Ta hen ai chuan hao kan ye hao gui de yi fu.
Ren ren dou shuo ta shi ge hao ren. Ke shi wo jue de ta shi xiao wang. Wo zai shi da wang

After the speeches we did some chinese calligraphy where we learnt how to write our names. We are all going to Tioman island on Sunday morning and we need to pack all of our stuff up for 10.30 am tomorrow so I doubt there will be much activity on this website (not that there is anyway. 8 people listed but only 3 posters!!!) until we get back next friday.

Wo zui xihuan de ren shi wode gege. 我最喜欢的人是我的哥哥Ta jiao Adam. 他叫Adam.Ta bu tai gao ye bu tai ai. 他不太高也不太矮。Ta hui shuo yi dianr fa wen.他会说一点儿法文。
Ta xihuan kan ying wen shu, ke shi bu xihuan kan fa wen shu.他喜欢看英文书,可是不喜欢看法文书。
Ta hen hao kan. 他很好看。Ta shi ge hen hao de xue shang. 他是个很好的学生(shang should be sheng here)。Ta ai he pi jiu ye ai he pu tao jiu.他爱喝啤酒也爱喝葡萄酒。 Ta bu hui chang ge.他不会唱歌。 Ta hen ai chuan hao kan ye hao gui de yi fu.他很爱穿好看也好贵的衣服。
Ren ren dou shuo ta shi ge hao ren. 人人都说他是个好人。Ke shi wo jue de ta shi xiao wang.可是我觉得他是小王。 Wo zai shi da wang我才是大王(zai should be cai)。

...ok translation.
Good afternoon everyone,
The one I like the most is my older brother.His name is Adam.He is not very tall and not very short.He can speak a little Franch.He like to read English book, but he dont like to read Franch book.He's nice-looking.He is a good student.He like to drink beer and wine.He cant sing.He like to wear nice and expensive cloth.Everybody thinks he is a nice guy.But I think he is a small king....while I'm the big king.....

I wish I join your guys' speach yesterday, it must be fun. hehe
