Click on the speaker icon of the following sentences and listen to the recording. The Chinese characters are in big5 format.

1. Zhè shì wǒ dìdi. [This is my (younger) brother. 這是我弟弟。]

Notes:

'zài'...gōngzuò' means 'to work somewhere'. 'zài' here serves as a preposition. Pay attention to the position of a prepositional phrase in the sentence. In Chinese it occurs before the verb.
