A Day in the Life of a Chinese Orphan

People often ask me what it was like to live in an orphanage.
人们经常问我，是什么样的生活在孤儿院里。
 

 



I am in a blue jacket, center right, 2nd row from top.
我穿着一个蓝色的外套，中间偏右，第二排上方。

So, I thought I would share about that this week.
所以我想我在这一周里说说关于我的福利院。

On a typical school day, I would get up around 5:30 a.m.,

get dressed, wash my face, pick up my room and  brush my teeth.

(Mom says she doesn't believe the teeth brushing part!)

在一个普通的学校一天，我会在上午5:30左右起床，
穿好衣服，洗把脸，收拾好我的房间，和刷牙。
（我妈妈说，她不相信我刷牙！）

 

 

Then, we would watch some TV till about 6:30.  Then we went to the cafeteria for breakfast.  When we finished eating breakfast around 7:00, we went to the guard station and waited for the van to pick us up for school.  There were about 10 kids that rode with me to school. 

然后，我们会看一些电视，直到6点半左右。我们去食堂吃早餐。当我们吃完早饭7点左右，我们需要，去入口门和等待的面包车来接我们去学校。有10个孩子，和我一起去学校。

 

When we finished school, the van would pick us up then we would go in the cafeteria for dinner.  After dinner, we went back to our teenager building and did our homework.

当我们完成校，面包车来接我们，然后我们去食堂吃饭。晚饭后，我们又回到了我们的建设，做我们的功课

 

 

 Once we were done with homework, we would watch TV and play games.
一旦我们完成家庭作业，我们可以看电视和玩游戏。

 

 

We went to bed at 9:30 each night. 

Well, at least we had to be in bed at 9:30. 

Each night, I liked to turn on a flashlight in my bed and read.

I was being sneaky because I love to read.

9:30我们上了床，在每个夜晚。
嗯，至少我们不得不在床上上午9时30分。
每天晚上，我喜欢在我的床上，打开一个手电筒，阅读。
我是偷偷摸摸的，因为我喜欢阅读。
 

There was a woman who lived with us on our floor
(one on every floor of our 5 level building),
and she was very nice. 

有一个阿姨，和我们住在一起，我们的地板
（我们住在一个5层建筑的第一层楼），
她是非常好的

 

  Next time I will share with you about our weekends and what we did in the Summer months.
下一次，我将与大家分享我们的周末和我们所做的，在夏季的几个月里。
