是不是每个人都喜欢晴空万里的天气? 当然不是，我就喜欢阴天，尤其是下着濛濛细雨的天气，感觉很浪漫，可这样的天气对我们今天的主角王华来说有些烦心，因为他周末很想出去野餐，他非常渴望能有一个好天气。好吧! 我们看看他到底有多渴望。
Hi Everyone! Welcome to Happy School Online for Mandarin learning.
Does everyone enjoy a clear sunny weather? Of course not, I like cloudy days, especially the drizzly kind of days. Those days are romantic but that weather is annoying for our today’s main character Wang Hua. He wanted to go on a weekend picnic so he was really hoping for some good weather. Alright, let’s see how bad he wanted the picnic.
