I’m doing calligraphy. It’s beautiful! What are you writing? It’s a poem by Li Bai. My grandmother taught me how to write it. What’s this character? It’s yue. It means “ moon”. It’s nice!

Listen to the conversation. Then role-play it. Peter: Yaming: Peter: Yaming: Peter: Yaming: Peter: Yaming: ？？？ ？？？ ？？？ ？？？ ？？？ ？？？ ？？？ ？？？ What do you think “The first step is always the hardest” means? It means that when you start doing something new or difficult, the very beginning is usually the hardest part. For example, when Yaming first learned calligraphy, he had to spend a lot of time practicing just one stroke(一笔) at a time—that's the hard "first step". At first, you might not know how to do it well, and it feels hard. But once you get past that starting part, it gets easier little by little. How do you usually feel when you manage to do something difficult? Give an example. When I manage to do something difficult, I usually feel a great sense of achievement and pride. For example, when I first learned to ride a bicycle, it was really hard to keep my balance. But after practising a lot, finally I was able to ride smoothly. I felt so happy and proud of myself.
