《English Translation》

小宝: 小美, today we’re going to make pottery!
小美: Great! I’ve always wanted to try making ceramics.
小宝: The teacher said we can make a small bowl or a cup.
小美: I want to make a vase to hold beautiful flowers.
小宝: Then I’ll make a cup to drink water from.
小美: Making ceramics seems pretty difficult—we have to shape the clay.
小宝: Yes, and we also need to use the pottery wheel to spin the clay, which looks fun.
小美: My vase is a bit crooked, but it’s quite cute.
小宝: My cup isn’t very round either, but making it myself feels really special.
小美: I didn’t realize pottery requires so many techniques. No wonder Chinese ceramics are so famous!
