Flag

Flag It was Saturday. The Drake family was watching their favourite news channel on television. " There's our flag! " Dad said as he pointed to the TV screen. “ If that's our flag, why do those people have it?” asked Stevie. Dad laughed, " That's not quite what I meant. I meant that the flag stands for and represents our country. " “ We have our flag on a pole at school, ” said Chris. “ I wish we had a flag at home, ” said Susie. “ Let's go to the store and buy one, ” said Dad. The whole family went to the store. They looked at big flags, little flags and medium-sized flags. Finally, they bought one that was just right.

国旗 这天是星期六。德雷克一家正在看他们最喜欢的电视新闻频道。“我们的国旗!”爸爸指着电视屏幕说。 “如果那是我们的国旗，为什么那些人拿着它?”史蒂夫问。爸爸笑着说:“我不是这个意思。我的意思是国旗代表我们的国家。” 克里斯说:“我们学校的旗杆上挂着国旗。”“我希望我们家里有一面国旗。”苏西说。“我们去商店买一个吧。”爸爸说。 全家人都去了商店。他们看了大国旗、小国旗和中国旗。最后，他们买了一个刚刚好。

Back home, Dad put up a flag pole in the front yard and raised the new flag high in the air. The whole family saluted it. They were all happy to fly the flag of their country.

回到家，爸爸在前院立了一根旗杆，把新国旗高高挂在空中。全家人都向它敬礼。 他们都很高兴悬挂自己国家的国旗。
