丹尼爾老師

大家好，我叫丹尼爾，來自英國。 我來中國已經四年了，我一直在金融街惠澤幼兒園（金融街公園）當老師。 我熱愛這裡的生活，農曆新年也是我一年中最喜歡的中國節日之一。
i h**e worked in xicheng ever since i moved to china and i love my workplace and the area it is in. the people in this district are friendly often speaking english with me and the kindergarten itself is very beautiful and a fantastic school that has helped me learn a lot chinese traditional culture.
自從我搬到中國以來，我一直在西城工作，我真的很喜歡我工作的地方，幼兒園和西城。 這裡的人非常友好，他們經常和我說英語，幼兒園很漂亮，是一所很棒的學校，它幫助我學到了很多關於中國傳統文化的知識。
our campus holds the spring festival activities every year and i celebrate the most important festival for chinese people with my students. the kindergarten is a three-way courtyard, which is both traditional and beautiful. the traditional chinese cultural activities in the kindergarten allow the chinese teachers and foreign teachers to know each other and become more like a family, and let us fall in love with the chinese spring festival and chinese traditional culture.
我們幼兒園每年都會舉辦農曆新年文化節，我會和孩子們一起慶祝中文最重要的節日。 幼兒園是乙個三合四的院落，既傳統又美麗，幼兒園的中國傳統文化活動讓中師和外教相互了解，更像乙個家庭，讓我們愛上了農曆新年和中國傳統文化。
xicheng is very close to the heart of beijing so it is a wonderful place to live during the chinese new year. the traditional architecture really gives a feeling of being somewhere special and the kindness and smiles of all the people in the district provide a warm atmosphere.
西城是北京的中心，是過春節的好地方。 傳統的建築確實有一種特殊的感覺，這裡的人們的友好和微笑讓我感到溫暖。
this is a time of year when people are most joyful and h**e their hearts open. my chinese friends make me feel very welcome during this time inviting me to their homes to enjoy a meal with their family and giving me suggestions of how to fully enjoy the holiday.
這是一年中最快樂、最放鬆的時光。 在這段時間裡，我的中國朋友熱情地邀請我到他們家和他們的家人共進晚餐，並會給我如何充分利用這個假期的建議。
so i would like to say thank you to beijing and xicheng for giving me many warm and happy spring festivals and hopefully many more to come. happy year of the gragon everyone and good luck to you and your families in the new year.
因此，我要感謝北京和西城給了我許多溫暖快樂的春節，希望以後有更多機會在西城度過春節。 祝大家新年快樂，龍年萬事如意！

我是北京金融街麗思卡爾頓酒店總經理張德，來自荷蘭。 我在中國的職業生涯始於北京，儘管從那時起我在許多城市工作過，但北京仍然是我最喜歡的城市之一。 北京豐富的歷史和國際城市的包容性對我有很大的吸引力，所以我和家人一起“回來了”。
i not only work but also live in xicheng district. working and living in the heart of the capital gives rise to a genuine sense of pride. due to my busy schedule, i h**en't had the chance to take my family to nearby landmarks like the baita temple, the forbidden city, and the national museum. during the holiday, we may plan to make the most of it with a "xicheng citywalk".
我不僅在西城工作，而且住在西城，能夠工作和生活在首都的核心區域，我會有一種“自豪感”。 平時工作繁忙，沒時間帶家人去白塔寺、故宮、旁邊的國家博物館。
