September 1. This year, my son has become a middle-school teacher, and today my daughter started work at a primary school too. This morning, they talked about how their students were learning—one about middle-school students, the other about primary-school children. Both my children are teachers now.

下午(Xiàㄒㄧㄚˋwǔㄨˇ)，我(wǒㄨㄛˇ)到(dàoㄉㄠˋ)女儿(nǚㄋㄩˇ'érㄦˊ)的(de˙ㄉㄜ)学校(xuéㄒㄩㄝˊxiàoㄒㄧㄠˋ)，想(xiǎngㄒㄧㄤˇ)和(héㄏㄢˋ)她(tāㄊㄚ)一起(yìㄧˋqǐㄑㄧˇ)回家(huíㄏㄨㄟˊjiāㄐㄧㄚ)。她(Tāㄊㄚ)下课(xiàㄒㄧㄚˋkèㄎㄜˋ)后(hòuㄏㄡˋ)说(shuōㄕㄨㄛ)，要(yàoㄧㄠˋ)和(héㄏㄢˋ)大学(dàㄉㄚˋxuéㄒㄩㄝˊ)同学(tóngㄊㄨㄥˊxuéㄒㄩㄝˊ)去(qùㄑㄩˋ)吃饭(chīㄔfànㄈㄢˋ)。我(Wǒㄨㄛˇ)说好(shuōㄕㄨㄛhǎoㄏㄠˇ)，想起(xiǎngㄒㄧㄤˇqǐㄑㄧˇ)我(wǒㄨㄛˇ)还是(háiㄏㄞˊshi˙ㄕ)大学生(dàㄉㄚˋxuéㄒㄩㄝˊshēngㄕㄥ)的(de˙ㄉㄜ)时候(shíㄕˊhou˙ㄏㄡ)，也(yěㄧㄝˇ)常(chángㄔㄤˊ)和(héㄏㄢˋ)同学(tóngㄊㄨㄥˊxuéㄒㄩㄝˊ)在(zàiㄗㄞˋ)一起(yìㄧˋqǐㄑㄧˇ)。她(Tāㄊㄚ)不是(búㄅㄨˊshìㄕˋ)小朋友(xiǎoㄒㄧㄠˇpéngㄆㄥˊyǒuㄧㄡˇ)了(le˙ㄌㄜ)。我(Wǒㄨㄛˇ)很(hěnㄏㄣˇ)高兴(gāoㄍㄠxìngㄒㄧㄥˋ)，也(yěㄧㄝˇ)有点儿(yǒuㄧㄡˇdiǎnrㄉㄧㄢˇㄦ)想(xiǎngㄒㄧㄤˇ)以前(yǐㄧˇqiánㄑㄧㄢˊ)的(de˙ㄉㄜ)日子(rìㄖˋzi˙ㄗ)。

English

In the afternoon, I went to my daughter's school, hoping we could go home together. After class, she said she was going out for a meal with her university friends. I said that was fine and remembered how often I'd spent time with friends when I was a university student. She's no longer a little girl. I'm happy, though I miss the old days a little too.
