陈智高: 明月, Premier 李强 recently visited Vietnam and emphasized the sentiment of 'comrades and brothers,' which is quite meaningful.
王明月: Yes, Master. I saw that both sides signed ten cooperation agreements, covering areas like agriculture, cross-border payments, and railways.
陈智高: Especially the cross-border railway. Vietnam's current railway system is outdated, and the introduction of Chinese technology will greatly improve their transportation efficiency.
王明月: I also noticed the China-Vietnam cross-border payment agreement, which will facilitate bilateral trade and bring the people of the two countries closer.
陈智高: Exactly. Vietnam, as China's largest trading partner in ASEAN, has huge potential for cooperation. With close geographical proximity, cooperation is a natural fit.
王明月: However, external interference might affect the relationship between the two countries.
陈智高: External interference does exist, but China and Vietnam have strong mutual development needs and a solid foundation, making it difficult for outside forces to disrupt.
王明月: I understand, Master. Premier 李强's visit to Vietnam not only paves the way for cooperation but also showcases the deep friendship between the two nations.

小刚: 小宝, did you know? China’s richest person has changed! Now it’s Zhang Yiming from ByteDance!
小宝: Richest person? What does that mean?
小刚: The richest person is the one with the most money. There’s a ranking called the Hurun Rich List that announces who the richest people in China are every year.
小宝: Wow! Then Zhang Yiming must have tons and tons of toys!
小刚: Haha, he might not have a lot of toys, but he has a lot of money and can buy many things. It’s like how Mom and Dad work hard to make money so they can buy us toys and good food.
小宝: Then I’ll work hard too when I grow up so I can make lots and lots of money!
小刚: Sounds great! Study hard, so when you grow up, you can get a good job and make a lot of money!

小宝: 小美, shall we go running in the park together today?
小美: Sure! Running is good for the body, and we can breathe fresh air.
小宝: I love running! We can have a race and see who runs faster.
小美: Good idea! But be careful, don't run too fast or you'll get tired.
小宝: No problem! I'll warm up first, jump a bit, and stretch my legs.
小美: I'll warm up too, stretch my arms, so I don't get injured while running.
小宝: Are you ready? Let's start running!
小美: Let's go! One, two, three, run!
小宝: Wow! There are so many trees in the park. While running, we can also see birds.
小美: Yeah! Running is so fun, and we can also hear the sound of the wind through the leaves.
小宝: I feel a bit tired, let's take a break.
小美: Okay, let's rest for a bit and drink some water to stay healthy.
小宝: Today's run was really fun! We can come to the park again next time.
小美: Yeah! Next time, we can also bring mom and dad to exercise with us.

小刚: 小宝, did you know? There was an exciting NBA game yesterday, and at the final moments, a Chinese player and a Japanese player were on the court at the same time!
小宝: Really? Which Chinese player?
小刚: It was 崔永熙! He plays for the Nets. The Japanese player is 河村勇辉, and he plays for the Grizzlies.
小宝: So, who won?
小刚: The Nets won this game. However, 崔永熙 and 河村勇辉 only played for a very short time, about one minute each, so they didn’t score any points.
小宝: One minute? That’s so short! Why?
小刚: Because it was near the end of the game and the result was already decided. The coaches probably wanted to give the Asian players a chance to get on the court.
小宝: Oh, I see. Will they get to play longer next time? I want to watch them play!
小刚: They will! As long as they keep working hard, they’ll definitely get more chances to play in the future!

黄刚: 小花, did you see the news? Trump has been re-elected as President of the United States.
陈花: I saw it, it's quite unexpected. It might be good for him and the U.S., but it doesn’t seem great for us.
黄刚: Yeah, his 'America First' policy presents significant challenges for China. Trade friction might intensify, and tech restrictions could escalate, impacting our exports and high-tech industries.
陈花: Indeed, I'm worried he might further raise tariffs and restrict Chinese goods from entering the U.S. market. This could affect our economic growth and employment.
黄刚: However, although his policies are tough, they are relatively predictable. This way, we can prepare in advance and adjust our response strategies. For example, we could actively expand into other international markets to reduce dependence on the U.S. market.
陈花: You're right, crises often contain opportunities. We could use this chance to accelerate industrial upgrades, enhance our ability for independent innovation, and strengthen our competitiveness.

小刚: 小宝, I saw on the news today that an older boy’s language abilities declined because he didn’t like to talk.
小宝: Declined language abilities? What does that mean?
小刚: It means he couldn’t speak well anymore, couldn’t articulate clearly, like a little baby.
小宝: Why couldn’t he talk anymore?
小刚: Because he didn’t talk to others for a long time or play with his friends, so he lost the ability to speak well.
小宝: That’s so scary! I don’t want to lose my ability to talk!
小刚: That’s why we should talk often and play with friends. It helps us express ourselves better and learn more new things.
小宝: I understand! I’ll make sure to talk more and play with my friends!
