Ep. #22 - En dag på jobbet (lätt)

给爸爸、妈妈的信！
爸爸、妈妈，你们好吗？我来中国三个月了。我能说汉语了，会写汉字了，还看了一本汉语书。你们听了高兴吗？北京今天下雨了，很冷。你们那儿怎么样呢？我们学校有一个汉语老师。同学们都很喜欢他。老师的家在学校前面。有时候，我们坐出租车去他家玩。他请我们喝茶、吃中国菜。他家的桌子、椅子都是中国风，很漂亮。我的朋友病了。昨天上午，我和他去了医院。医生说，现在天气很冷，你要多喝热水；多吃菜和水果；多睡觉。
我想睡觉了，爸爸妈妈晚安！
你们的女儿。

Having a Meal in China ~ 在中国吃饭

4-Year-Old Signs Book Deal to Publish Poems
A 4-year-old boy from the UK has signed a book deal to publish his collection of poems.

Nadim Shamma-Sourgen was discovered by poet and teacher Kate Clanchy, who won the 2020 Orwell Prize for political writing. Clanchy knew Shamma-Sourgen's mother, who teaches the study of poetry at the University of Reading.

Clanchy began sharing Shamma-Sourgen's poems on Twitter, where they became popular with her followers. Speaking to The Guardian, Clanchy said that she didn't share them because they were like an adult's poems, but because they were so much like a child's way of thinking.

The young poet has now signed a book deal with Walker Books, a children's book company, making him one of the youngest writers to get a book deal.

According to Guinness World Records, Dorothy Straight from the US is the youngest female to publish a book. She wrote a book in 1962 when she was 4 years old. It was published in 1964.

The youngest male writer is Thanuwana Serasinghe from Sri Lanka, who wrote a book when he was 4 years and 9 months old. It was published nine days before his 5th birthday.

In an interview with Sky News, Shamma-Sourgen's mother said that he's still learning to read and write, so he speaks his poems out loud and she writes them down for him.

"I like writing poems especially about nature. I feel happy that my poems will be in a book," Shamma-Sourgen told The Guardian. As well as nature, Shamma-Sourgen's poems talk about things like love, being lonely and bugs in his garden.

The book of poems will be published in summer 2021.
