安安

我wǒ想xiǎng写xiě一yī篇piān文wén章zhāng，叫jiào平píng常cháng的de日rì子zi。内nèi容róng不bù特tè别bié，也yě能néng写xiě出chū自zì己jǐ的de生shēng活huó吗ma？

I want to write an essay called An Ordinary Day. Can everyday events still show my life?

小禾

当dāng然rán。先xiān写xiě自zì己jǐ生shēng在zài什么shén me地dì方fāng，再zài选xuǎn今天jīn tiān发fā生shēng的de一yī两liǎng件jiàn事shì。生shēng活huó不bù是shì每měi天tiān都dōu要yào有yǒu大dà事shì情qing。

Of course. Mention where you were born, then choose one or two events from today. Life does not need a major event every day.

安安

我wǒ早zǎo晨chén看见kàn jiàn阳yáng光guāng照zhào进jìn房间fáng jiān，就jiù把bǎ窗chuāng打dǎ开kāi。这zhè时候shí hou，我wǒ想xiǎng到dào小时xiǎo shí候hou在zài家jiā吃chī早饭zǎo fàn的de样yàng子zi。

In the morning sunlight enters my room, so I open the window. At that moment I remember childhood breakfasts at home.

小禾

这个zhè ge细xì节jié就jiù很好hěn hǎo。太tài阳yang和hé阳yáng光guāng里lǐ的de阳yáng都dōu跟gēn太tài阳yang、光guāng有yǒu关guān；你nǐ可以kě yǐ用yòng一yī件jiàn小xiǎo事shì，让ràng别bié人rén看见kàn jiàn那nà一天yī tiān。

That detail works. 阳 in sun and sunlight words relates to the sun and light. One small event can make a day visible to the reader.

Extension reading

安ān安ān没有méi yǒu把bǎ一yī整zhěng天tiān的de每měi一yī分钟fēn zhōng都dōu写xiě下xià来lái。她tā先xiān写xiě开kāi窗chuāng，再zài写xiě想xiǎng起qǐ家人jiā rén，最zuì后hòu写xiě给gěi妈妈mā ma发fā了le一yī条tiáo消xiāo息xī。

Anan does not record every minute. She describes opening the window, remembering family and messaging her mother.

读dú完wán以yǐ后hòu，小xiǎo禾hé能néng说shuō出chū事shì情qing的de前qián后hòu，也yě知道zhī dào她tā当dāng时shí的de心xīn情qíng。安ān安ān发fā现xiàn，写xiě清qīng楚chu一yī个gè普pǔ通tōng日rì子zi，也yě是shì一yī种zhǒng很hěn有yǒu用yòng的de表biǎo达dá。

After reading, Xiao He can follow the order and understand her feelings. Anan finds value in clearly describing an ordinary day.
