passes by the kid and wonders why he is staring at the Chinese words. "What are you doing aru?"

"Struggling because of the Chinese characters, it hard and had many strokes."

otherwise. "If you practice writing long enough, you will fin out that it is not hard at all aru! Trying writing these." He writes out the_

numbers in chinese.

"Hmm.. I think number one is the easiest! It's only one straight line!

grins. "Of course!" He looks at him writing. "No aru, you are supposed to write that line from left to right. The way you write every stroke

_is important aru!"

then begins to write the correct order of the strokes.

nods his head as he progressed. "Why are learning Chinese all of a sudden aru?"

"A~, it is for my Mandarin test. I don't want to get a horrible mark for my test."

wonders what kind of test it is. "Is it a spelling test aru?"

No, some kind of dictation, so the teacher will give out the pinyin and I will have to write the Hanzi and the meaning of the word.

"I think you will do well if you work hard enough aru. Can I see the passage?"

"Here ya go!" showing China the passage of his book. he waited for China's reply.

looks at the book and thinks that he can pass the test if he works hard enough. "Which part do you not understand aru?"

"Hmmm.. Let's see, it's just hard for me to understand the Chinese characters and the pinyin, that's all."

"Aiya! Isn't that almost everything aru? You say your test is the next day? Why are you learning it now aru?"
