A Chinese story

This is a Chinese story which students can listen to in their spare time. The difficulty for international students to learn Chinese is that they don't have a "language environment". Think about how we learn our first language. We listen to our parents to speak it everyday and know how to speak even no one really teach us intentionally. That's what we called "language acquisition". For second even third language learning, the most efficient way is to immerse in the target language. One way to do this is to listen to all kinds of listening materials.
