Danny: Wow, the Yellow River is so wide!
Li Ming: Yes. It’s wide and long. The Yellow River is about 5 400 kilometres long. We call it the Mother River.
Danny: Look! A statue beside the Yellow River! A mother with a baby!
Li Ming: Oh, that’s the Mother River Statue.
Ms. Martin: It’s beautiful!
Danny: Can we take a picture in front of the statue, Ms. Martin?
Ms. Martin: Sure!
In Canada and the U.S., people like to say “cheese” when someone takes a picture of them. Can you guess why they say cheese? What do you say in Chinese? And what does it mean in English?
