Hi, Faith! Did you see the message from Evgeny, an English learner in Ukraine?
嗨，费思！你看到来自乌克兰的英语学习者叶夫根尼的留言了吗？
Yes! He wrote a nice message about his hobbies and studies.
看到了！他留言的内容是有关他的爱好和学习的。
Here is part of what he wrote: "I am a chess player. I have been playing this wonderful game since 9.
下面是留言的部分内容：“我是一名国际象棋选手。我从9岁起就开始玩这个有趣的游戏了。”
I have won many city and region tournaments and also took part in a lot of national championships..."
我赢得了许多城市和地区的锦标赛，也参加了很多全国锦标赛……。”
Evgeny did a great job of ordering his statements.
叶夫根尼在组织句子方面做得很好。
He started with the most general information and then gave more details in the following sentences.
他从最一般的信息开始，然后在接下来的句子中给出了更多的细节。
We recommend adding a little more information to the sentence, "I have been playing this wonderful game since 9."
我们建议在句子“我从9岁起就开始玩这个有趣的游戏了”里多加一点信息。
In general, we use numbers alone to describe the times of the day, as in "I woke up at five" or "I've been here since eight."
一般来说，我们用单独的数字来描述一天中的时间，比如“我五点醒来”或“我从八点起就在这里了”。
We generally add the past tense of the verb BE to describe an age.
我们通常加上be动词的过去式来描述年龄。
So, Evgeny's sentence could be updated to something like this: "I have been playing this wonderful game since I was 9 years old."
因此，叶夫根尼的这句话可以改成这样：“我从9岁起就开始玩这个有趣的游戏了。”
Or: "I have been playing this wonderful game since I was 9."
或者：“我从9岁起就开始玩这个有趣的游戏了。”
Let's end with a quiz.
让我们以一个测验来结束本期内容。
Name a hobby and the age that you began the hobby.
