Everyone Can Do Something (Part 1)
A kid asks everyone in the family what they can do — and finds a talent of their own.
我问妈妈：“你会什么？”I asked Mom, "What can you do?"
妈妈说：“我会做饭。”Mom said, "I can cook."
爸爸说：“我会开车。”Dad said, "I can drive."
哥哥说：“我会游泳。”Big brother said, "I can swim."
姐姐说：“我会唱歌。”Big sister said, "I can sing."
爷爷说：“我会写汉字。”Grandpa said, "I can write Chinese characters."
我不会做饭，也不会开车。I can't cook, and I can't drive.
可是我会画画！But I can draw!
我画了我的家人，大家都笑了。I drew my whole family, and everyone laughed.
明年我想学游泳！Next year I want to learn to swim!
