孟母就是指孟子的母亲。迁是指搬家。
孟子小的时候他的父亲就去世了，所以由母亲一手养大。他们家原来住在墓地附近，小孩子的模仿能力很强，久而久之，孟子就学会了别人在墓地哭拜的行为。孟子的母亲觉得这样不好，就选择了搬家。他们搬到了一个集市附近。集市非常热闹，每天人来人往，孟子又慢慢开始模仿别人做生意，讨价还价的情形。孟子的母亲觉得这样不好，就又选择了搬家。这一次他们搬到一个学堂旁边居住。这一次，孟子跟着学堂里的学生学习知识和礼节。孟子的母亲很高兴，觉得这才是孩子应该学的，他们也就安定下来不在搬家了。
这个故事可以从不同的角度去分析：
1， 母爱
2，环境对一个人的行为和品德的影响
所以在写议论文的时候，如果有类似的题目，这个典故可以用来当作论据。
When I don’t have enough time to cook meal or I feel like being lazy, I will choose to cook Chow Mein (fried noodles).
1. Vegetable Chow Mein (蔬菜炒面）
Chop onion, shiitake,bell pepper and carrot into thin slices.
Heat the oil in the pan. Stir fry onion first.
Then add in carrot and shiitake. Stir fry for a while.
Noodles (I used udon, and noodles should be soaked in water till they get soft.) and bell pepper at last. Stir fry evenly.
Add in a little dark soy sauce and salt. Stir evenly.
Then add a little water. Because the udon is uncooked, so it should be braised for 2-3 minutes.
When the water is about to dry, add in some lettuce.
Stir fry till the sauce is dry.
2. Soy Sauce Chow Mein
Put udon in boiled water for three minutes. Then ladle them out and drain them.
Sauce:
Light soy sauce: 2 tsp
Dark soy sauce: 1 tsp
Salt: a little
Sugar: 1 tsp
Cooking wine: a little
SHAOHSING RICE COOKING WINE 2x750ML
Heat the oil in the pan. Put in cabbage slices. Stir fry for a minute or two.
Then add in cooked udon.
And the sauce.
Stir fry them evenly for 1 or 2 minutes.
And it’s done.
You can add a fried egg, if you like.
Just serve with soup and some easy snacks. That’s not bad for an easy and quick meal.
We have many kinds of braised food in China, like chicken wings, chicken legs, pork, fish, ribs, even tofu. People in many parts of China have rice in daily meals, and soy sauce is a good match for rice.
There are many different ways to cook braised food. The one I am about to introduce here is an easy one.
Wash the chicken wings.
Heat the oil in the oven. If you use non-stick pan, you can add less oil.
Put the chicken wings in. Fry each side of the wings.
When each side turn brown, add in some light soy sauce and dark soy sauce. (Light soy sauce is salty. Dark soy sauce is for coloring).
Lee Kum Kee Premium Dark Soy Sauce – 16.9 fl. oz.
Keep stir frying and make each chicken wing coated with soy sauce.
Add in enough hot water that over chicken wings. (Cold water will make the meat shrink).
Add in star anise. Star anise is a commonly seen kind of spice in Chinese cuisine.
Hoosier Hill Farm Whole Select Anise Star 8 oz.
And several sugar cubes. (Sugar is also fine). Then cover the pan with lid. Braise with low heat.
When the sauce in the pan becomes about less than 1/3, turn up the heat. Keep stir frying or it will be easy to get burnt.
Stir fry till the sauce is almost dry.
Ready to serve.
You can turn off the heat before the sauce is dry. Then the sauce can be mixed into rice. You will like the taste of rice.
You can also change chicken wings to chicken legs, fish, and ribs. The key of soy sauce is sugar.
I watched the Japanese Movie Little Forest the other day. It tells a story of a little girl living in the countryside. She plants vegetables and fruits and makes dishes with them. One scen is about her making tomato sauce with the tomatoes she plants. So I imitated her way of doing that.
前几天，我看了一部日本的电影，名字叫做《小森林》。电影讲的是一个女孩住在乡下，她自己种植蔬菜和水果，并且用自己种的东西做各种美食。其中就有一幕是讲她用自己种的番茄做了番茄酱。所以我也模仿她的方法，在家里自己做番茄酱。
First, wash some cherry tomatoes. Actually, you can use small tomatoes or big ones, depending on how big your jar is.
And cut a cross at the bottom of each one.
Then put them in hot water for several seconds. If your tomatoes are bigger, let them stay longer in hot water.
Put them into icy water.
The tomato skin can be easily removed.
Put peeled tomatoes back into hot water. Boil them with a little salt. Don’t put too much.
The jar should be sterilized. I put the jar and the lid in the boiling water for a while.
Then put the tomatoes along with some salty hot water into the jar. Please don’t make the jar too full.
Then put the jar into hot water. And boil it for several minutes. Make sure the lid is not cover too tight.
After boiling, cool the jar for a while and tighten the lid.
The movies says, put the jar in the fridge. When you feel hot in summer, you can take a bite, and it makes you feel very cool.
I took them out and heat in a pan with some sugar.
Then poured them on cooked spaghetti. It tasted really great.
The dough needs to be put in the fridge for over 24 hours.
Part A
Flour around 200g
bicarbonate around 3g
Baking soda around 3g
Salt around 4g
Mix them well.
Part B:
Butter around 140g,
Brown sugar around 100g
White sugar around 70g
Whip them till the butter’s color turns light.
Then add one egg and a little vanilla esscence. Keep whipping for another minute.
Mix Part A with Part B well.
Add in chocolate chips. Mix well.
Then put the dough in a bag or a box and put it in the fridge for over 24hrs.
Preheat oven with 175degree.
Divide the dough into small parts.
Make them in ball shape. Cos they will expand during baking, so make sure there is enough space for them to expand.
Bake for around 15mins.
Crunchy outside but soft inside. They taste really good.
Cut potato and onion into small pieces. (Here I used two potatoes and one onion.)
Heat the oil in the pan. Put in the bacon bits.
When the bacon bits get a little burnt, take them out.
Stir fry onion first.
Then the potato pieces.
Add in enough water that covers potato pieces. Boil them till potato gets soft.
Use blender to smash potatoes.
Put smashed potato back into the pan.
Add a little water or the soup will get burnt easily. Also add in light cream, salt and black pepper powder. Keep stirring till all the things mix well.
Ladle the soup out into bowl, and add in the bacon bits.
先来看课文中的两个例句：
1， “再好的矿泉水，包装得再精美，喝起来，在感觉上，心情上，又岂能与故乡清甜甘美的山泉相比呢？”——中三快捷华文《水是故乡甜》
2，”我们脚下的土地有的黑，有的红，还有很多地方是褐色。这是为什么呢？其实，这与土壤中的碳元素和其他化学成分的多少有关。”——中四快捷华文《大地的色彩》
两个句子都是问句，第一个句子是反问句，第二个句子是设问句。
从形式上看：
反问句只有问没有答，而设问句既有问又有答。
从意思上看：
反问句虽然是问句形式，但是表达的意思是肯定的。第1例句表达的意思就是，包装得再精美的矿泉水喝起来在感觉上，心情上，不能与故乡清甜甘美的山泉相比。作者虽然明明有答案，却用问句的形式表现出，用来加强语气。
设问句是明知故问。作者明明知道问题的答案，却仍然提出来，用来起强调作用，引发读者思考。第2例句中”这是为什么呢？”作者提出来的问题，让读者思考，然后下面继续公布问题的答案，可以吸引读者的注意力。
修辞手法在华文学习中是肯定会接触到的。学会修辞手法可以更好地赏析一篇好的文章，也可以在写作中运用，让学生的作文大放异彩。
常见的修辞手法有以下几种：
1，比喻
把A比作B，则A为本体，B为喻体。而且A和B有相似的地方。比喻的好处是可以让被描述的对象，即本体，更加形象和生动。
例如：
多少年来，富士山就像一块巨大的磁铁，每年都吸引着成千上万的人前来攀登。——中三快捷华文《富士山》
为什么要把富士山比喻成巨大的磁铁呢？我们知道磁铁有磁力，可以把铁制品吸引过来。而富士山是一个很有名的旅游景点，吸引了很多游客前来观光。所以富士山和磁铁的共同点就是有吸引力，所以把富士山比喻成巨大的磁铁，能够把人们吸引来。
2，拟人
就是把物品当作人来写。让这个物品可以做出人的动作，表情，甚至心理活动等等。
例如：
远望富士山，它就像一个巨人，昂首挺立于天地之间，召唤着来自五洲四海的游客。——中三快捷华文《富士山》
富士山是一座山。可是在后面的描写中，作者用了”昂首”（即抬着头），”立于天地之间”（站在天地之间）。富士山没有头也没有脚，所以不可能抬头，也不可能站。这里完全把富士山当作成一个人。想象一下，如果一个人抬着头，一动不动得站在那里，是不是很有气概？这里就是用拟人的修辞手法来形象地表现出富士山的雄伟。再看最后面”召唤着来自五洲四海的游客”，富士山没有嘴巴，不可能”召唤”别人过来。所以也是拟人的修辞手法，把富士山形容成一个高高地抬起头，稳稳得站里并且召唤别人过来。这就会让读者在脑海中有这么一个生动的场景。
3，排比
排比的特点比较突出，就是几个意思相关，结构相似，语气相似的词组（三个或三个以上）并列出现。
例如：
这里没有高楼大厦，没有车水马龙，没有城市的拥挤与匆促，只有悠闲和宁静。——中三快捷华文《乌敏岛》
“没有…没有…没有…”三个”没有..”并列构成，这就是排比句。
排比的作用是用来加强语气，增强文章的节奏感。因此，在演讲，议论文中会经常用到排比句。
4，夸张
用夸大或缩小事物的特征或形象来增强表达的效果。
例如：
唯独晓敏是不大吃饼干的，因此她那个别致的青瓷罐里的饼干，比起我们的总是又多又满。每次休息时，我们一边嚼着饼干，一边叽叽喳喳地品头论足，或嘀嘀咕咕地发牢骚，而晓敏总是在一旁读着她那本似乎永远也读不完的小说。——《饼干罐的秘密》
“读着她那本似乎永远也读不完的小说”此处就是夸张的修辞手法。一本小说不可能永远也读不完，这里只是用来说明每次当大家坐在一起吃饼干的时候，晓敏总是在读小说。次数久了，让人不得不怀疑小说是不是很长，长到永远读不完。
I promised my husband that I would make hamburger for him. And today I tried.
First, I baked black sesame round bun.
Bread flour around 160g
Plain flour around 40g
Sugar around 30g
Salt around 3 g
Yeast around 3 g
Add in milk around 60g and 3/4 of one egg.
When everything mixed well, add in black sesames. And keep kneading until the dough becomes less sticky.
Add in 15g butter. Just knead, knead and knead. If you are really stressed out recently, it’s a good way to release your negetive energy outwardly. You can even punch the dough. When the butter is completely absorbed by the dough, you can stop and take a rest. Kneading really takes a while.
Then cover the bowl with a wrap or wet towel until it expands to 1.5 or twice of its size.
Divide the dough into several little even-sized dough. Knead them to let the inside air out and make them in round shape.
Then put the small dough on the baking pan and put the baking pan into the oven. Place a bowl of hot water under the baking pan. If the water gets cold, replace it with another bowl of hot water.
When the small dough expands again to 1.5 or twice of their size, they can be taken out.
Brush the dough with the rest 1/4 egg.
Preheat the oven with 180 degree.
And bake them for around 18 mins.
The bun part is done.
I cut the round bun into two parts. In the middle I put carriage, tomato slice, cheese and pork chop. And make them mini-hamburgers.
You can design your own burger with this round bun, and of course you can make it bigger if you want.
This round bun can also be good if you just spread jam in it.
