The story

乐乐：小雨，李老师让我们写一篇作文，题目是“我的家人”。Xiaoyu, Teacher Li wants us to write an essay called "My Family".

小雨：好啊。你可以写你爸爸妈妈。Great. You could write about your mom and dad.

乐乐：写爸爸妈妈太无聊了。我要写……包子！Writing about mom and dad is so boring. I'm going to write about... Baozi!

大卫：包子？包子是你的家人吗？Baozi? Is Baozi your family?

乐乐：当然！他是我们班的班长，也是我的家人！Of course! He's our class monitor, and he's family!

乐乐：我要把包子的一天都记下来。小雨，给我一张纸！I'm going to note down Baozi's whole day. Xiaoyu, give me a sheet of paper!

小雨：一张纸？我给你十张吧。One sheet? I'll give you ten.

乐乐：星期一，早上五点，包子叫大卫起床。记下来！Monday, five a.m.: Baozi wakes David up. Write that down!
