Lesson 1　Evening at Home　第1課　溫馨的家

newspaper cold order seem through

stockings chat story light Harry

branches kiss burns Mrs. events

an other Mr. stool lamp mends

It is winter. The cold wind whistles through the branches of the trees.

Mr. Brown has done his day's work, and his children, Harry and Kate, have come home from school.They learned their Lessons well to-day, and both feel happy.

Tea is over. Mrs.Brown has put the little sitting room in order.The fre burns brightly.One lamp gives light enough for all.On the stool is a basket of fne apples.They seem to say，"Won't you have one?"

Harry and Kate read a story in a new book. The father reads hisnewspaper, and the mother mends Harry's stockings.

By and by, they will tell one another what they have been reading about, and will have a chat over the events of the day.

Harry and Kate's bedtime will come frst. I think I see them kiss their dear father and mother a sweet good night.

Do you not wish that every boy and girl could have a home like this?

這是冬天，寒風從樹枝中間呼嘯而過。

布朗先生忙完了一天的工作，他的孩子哈里和凱特也已經放學回家了。今天課上得非常好，他們都挺愉快的。

喝完茶，布朗夫人將小小的客廳打掃得井井有條。爐火燒得很旺，一盞燈照亮了整個房間。凳子上放著一籃可口的蘋果，它們似乎在說：“你不來一個嗎？”

哈里和凱特拿著一本新書津津有味地讀著里邊的故事，父親在看報紙，而母親在補哈里的襪子。

過了一會兒，他們互相講述自己所看的內容，并聊起了這一天發生的事情。

到了哈里和凱特睡覺的時間，我想他們會向親愛的爸爸、媽媽親吻并道晚安。

難道你不希望每個男孩和女孩都有這樣一個家嗎？
