Hello everyone! Welcome to a new episode of 5 Minute Chinese. In today's episode, I talk about summer (school)work in the US and China—which subjects typically have summer work and what type as well as my first summer reading for my AP class. Later in the episode I talk about Gaokao—generally deemed to be the most important and fairest exam in Mainland China. I also talked about Gaokao in Ep.25 and 26 (English + Chinese) on 11/14 last year if you want to check them out. You can find the full script and useful words by paragraph below. If you have any questions or comments, please email me! You can find the email in the show description.

大家好，欢迎收听这期的五分钟汉语。今天想跟大家聊聊中美暑期作业和这两天的中国高考。

上期跟大家聊到我们学校的暑期开始了。到这周，估计大部分美国的学校都放暑假了吧。前天我收到了学校的邮件，说我订的暑期阅读的书到了。这个书是我为明年的AP中文的学生买的。书中有很多有名的寓言故事，节日传说和神话故事。我希望学生们在暑假的时候读一些中文，为明年的AP课做准备。我把书放在了学校的前台，让学生这几天去取。

1. 估计 | Gūjì | estimate
2. 大部分 | dà bùfèn | most (part)
3. 阅读 | yuèdú | read, reading
4. 寓言 | yùyán | fable
5. 故事 | gùshì | story
6. 传说 | chuánshuō | legend
7. 神话 | shénhuà | myth
8. 希望 | xīwàng | hope
9. 读 | dú | read
10. 前台 | qiántái | front desk
11. 取 | qǔ | Pick up

这其实是我第一次给学生留暑假作业。不过，在美国，学校留暑假作业也很常见。比如，我们学校的英语课要求6-12年级的学生从老师给的书单里选读一到两本书。读的时候要记笔记，之后还要写读后感。AP社会学习（social studies）课的老师也会给学生暑期阅读和其他相关的作业。不过其他课一般不会有什么暑期作业。

1. 留 | liú | leave (homework)
2. 常见 | chángjiàn | common
3. 书单 | shū dān | book list
4. 记笔记 | jì bǐjì | take notes
5. 读后感 | dúhòugǎn | after-reading response
6. 相关 | xiāngguān | related

我在中国上学的时候每个暑假都是有作业的。每门课都有一本暑假作业。主科—像数学，语文，英语—是一定会有暑假作业的。除了暑期阅读，还要做习题，预习生词，背诵古诗等等。总体来说，我觉得中国的暑假作业比美国的暑假作业多一些。

1. 语文 | yǔwén | Chinese language art (in Mainland China)
2. 习题 | xítí | exercise (school work)
3. 背诵 | bèisòng | recite
4. 古诗 | gǔshī | ancient poetry
5. 总体来说 | zǒngtǐ lái shuō | In general

这两天中国有一件大事儿——那就是高考。我在去年11月14日的第25和26期用中英文介绍过高考。大家有兴趣的话可以回听。这次，我想主
