The story

马爷爷：乐乐，别玩游戏了！来，跟我听京剧。Lele, stop playing games! Come and listen to Peking opera with me.

乐乐：京剧？太慢了！一个字唱一分钟。Peking opera? It's so slow! It takes a whole minute to sing one word.

马爷爷：你不懂。京剧是艺术，要慢慢体会。You don't understand. Opera is an art. You have to take your time to really feel it.

乐乐：我体会不了。游戏多好玩啊！I can't feel it. Games are way more fun!

马爷爷：游戏使人眼睛不好，也使人不爱学习！Games ruin your eyes, and they make you hate studying!

乐乐：我要上一所好初中，每天面对很多作业。玩游戏，是轻松一下！I'm trying to get into a good junior high. I face loads of homework every day. Games are how I relax!

乐乐：京剧使人想睡觉！Opera makes you want to fall asleep!

大卫：别吵了！一百米范围内都听得见你们。你们换一天吧：乐乐听京剧，马爷爷玩游戏。Stop arguing! People can hear you a hundred metres away. Swap for a day: Lele listens to opera, and Grandpa Ma plays games.
