LISTEN TO THE TEXT

Since our childhood, we have heard various stories about the moon. Together with the sun, the moon is something that is often described by writers and artists in their works. It also relates to and affects our daily lives. So today I would like to introduce some new sentences in Chinese and hope that they are a little help to your Chinese language learning...
