00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Did you catch how they're named?In Chinese, the months are actually numbered rather than named, starting with January as number one. Listen again.

7
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,000
First the English will be given and then the Chinese.January.

00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:26,000
4月.5月.6月.4月.5月.6月.

15
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Now I'll say the English for the first six months and you give the Chinese.January.1月.

16
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:56,000

20
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Now repeat the words for the six months after the speaker.

21
00:03:47,000 --> 00:04:13,000
7月.8月.9月.10月.11月.

22
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:24,000
11月.12月.12月.

23
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Now let's go through the months again in order from January to December.

24
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,000
I'll give the English and you give the Chinese.January.

25
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:55,000

28
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Now let's practice the months again, but this time in random order.

29
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,000
I'll give the English and you give the Chinese.February.

30
00:05:48,000 --> 00:06:16,000

32
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:55,000
3月.August.8月.

33
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Now here's how you say the seventh day of a month. 七号.The word 号 means number, but it's also a counter. Look at note one in your workbook for more information on counters. Now here's how you say April 7.

34
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:27,000
4月.七号.Repeat the word for seventh. 七号.七号.Now repeat April 7.

35
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:44,000
4月.七号.4月.七号.Put the following dates into Chinese. April 7.

36
00:07:44,000 --> 00:08:13,000
April 9.4月.9.April 2.4月.2.April 15.4月.15.April 23.

37
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:29,000
4月.23.April 30.4月.30.

38
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Now test your comprehension. Put the following into English. 试音乐.November.

39
00:08:41,000 --> 00:09:10,000
10月.October.1月.January.5月.May.6月.June.3月.March.7月.July.12月.

40
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:29,000
December.9月.September.4月.April.8月.August.2月.February.

41
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Now take a look at exercise one. The speaker will say a date in Chinese. Circle the number of the English translation.

42
00:09:40,000 --> 00:10:07,000
8月5.8月20.10月20.10月4.12月4.12月1.

43
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:26,000
4月1.4月11.1月11.1月31.

44
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Now look at display one in your workbook. Give the Chinese for the dates in the exercise. The correct answer will be given on the tape. Ready? Begin.

45
00:10:41,000 --> 00:11:07,000
November.1.4月20.2.5月20.3.5月14.4.

46
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:34,000
3月14.5.3月25.6.9.25.7.

47
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:54,000
9月3.8.7月3.9.7月11.

48
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Now let's take a look at how to ask for the date. The word for today is 今天.Repeat the word for today. 今天.

49
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:29,000
今天. Listen to the way you ask, what is today's date? 今天幾號. 幾 means how many. Literally the sentence means something like today how many days. Repeat after the speaker, what's today's date? 今天幾號.

50
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:38,000
今天幾號. 今天幾號.

51
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Now you try asking for the date. Each time the English speaker says question, you ask what's today's date. A response will be given in Chinese. Question.

52
00:12:52,000 --> 00:13:00,000
9月5. Question.

53
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:07,000
12月7. Question.

54
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:15,000
8月31. Question.

55
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:23,000
6月23. Question.

56
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:28,000
1月14.

57
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:39,000
Actually, usually when you ask 今天幾號, you'd probably answer only with the date of the month and not the month at all since it's usually assumed that the month is known.

58
00:13:39,000 --> 00:14:05,000
If you wanted to ask for a month, you would ask 幾月, how many months? To ask, what's this month you'd say? 這個月是幾月? Repeat. What's this month after the speaker? 這個月是幾月? 這個月是幾月?

59
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Ask what month it is ahead of the speaker and then repeat. 這個月是幾月? Listen to this exchange. 這個月是幾月? 十月? 今天幾號? 二十一號? Repeat the lines after the speaker. 這個月是幾月?

60
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:44,000
十月… 十月… 十月… 十月… 十月… 十月… 十月… 十月… 十月… 十月…

61
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
今天几号?

62
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,000
二十一号。

63
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Again。

64
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,000
这个月是几月?

65
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,000
十月。

66
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,000
今天几号?

67
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,000
二十一号。

68
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Now you try answering the questions.It's October 21st.

69
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,000
这个月是几月?

70
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:25,000

71
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,000
今天几号?

72
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,000
二十一号。

73
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,000
This time you ask the questions.

74
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:42,000
What's the month and what's the date?

75
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,000
这个月是几月?

76
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,000
十月。

77
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,000
今天几号?

78
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,000
二十一号。

79
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Now take a look at the display too.

80
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Read the dates and listen to the correct answers.

81
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:09,000
二月十八号。

82
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Number two.

83
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,000
十一月一号。

84
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Number three.

85
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,000
七月二十号。

86
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Number four.

87
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000
五月四号。

88
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,000
