Lesson 10

Li Ming and Wang Mei are walking home from school.

Li Ming：I’m still thinking about our trip to the Silk Road. I realized many things. China has so

much history. And our culture is so rich and colourful.

Wang Mei：Yes, I know. I feel the same way.

Li Ming：The trip gave me an idea.

Wang Mei：Really? What is it?

Li Ming：I want to learn to play the erhu! It is a part of ancient Chinese culture. Many Western

people call it the “Chinese violin” .

Wang Mei：That’s a great idea, Li Ming！

Li Ming：I can’t wait to play music for all my friends.

Wang Mei：You will be a great erhu player, Li Ming.

Li Ming：I hope so. Wang Mei, you are a good dancer. Why don’t you learn a traditional Chinese

dance? Then we can take part in the Spring Festival show together. I will play music and

you can dance！

Wang Mei：I like that idea! Maybe I can wear some traditional clothes, too!
