Jane 1 2: English version of China Zodiac Story-a Spring Festival gift for Jane 1' s children!

In the Year of the Sheep (20 15), my daughter Carol translated the Chinese version of the story of China's zodiac into English.

In the English version of this story, she plays all the roles by herself and dubs them separately. At the same time, she chose the theme of Peter in prokofiev's orchestral fairy tale Peter and the Wolf as the soundtrack, and added some sound effects, which were vivid and interesting.

On the eve of the coming Year of the Rooster, I want to recommend this English version of The Story of the Chinese Zodiac as a Spring Festival gift to my children: learn about the Chinese Zodiac and learn English, killing two birds with one stone.

Zodiac, as its name implies, is the name of twelve animals, each animal represents one year, and there is a cycle every twelve years.

If we say the names of specific animals in the zodiac, it is estimated that many children can say one or two of them, but it is less likely to say them all or in the right order.

In fact, it is not difficult to remember the order of the zodiac.

First of all, these twelve animals can be divided into three groups, each with four species;

Then just remember the memory passwords in each group separately.

The first group: mice, cows, tigers and rabbits.

Memory password:

The mice and rabbits on both sides belong to small and fast-running animals; The bull and tiger in the middle are bigger.

The second group: dragons, snakes, horses and sheep.

Memory password:

Both dragons and snakes are long animals, of which dragons are the longest and snakes are relatively short, so they are called "little dragons". The horses and sheep behind are vegetarian animals and like to eat grass;

The third group: monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs.

Memory password:

Take climbing trees as an example. Monkeys climb highest. Although chickens can fly, they can't fly over monkeys. Dogs can only watch them worry under the tree, let alone pigs. They just lay lazily under the tree and closed their eyes.

Why are there no cats in the zodiac?

According to legend, the cat got up late and missed the opportunity to sign up for the zodiac.

Of course, this is just a legend. In fact, because cats were introduced to China from abroad, there was no "cat" when the zodiac appeared in China, so of course there was no cat.
