英文繪本《秋天裡的動物：準備過冬》/An English picture book “Animals in Fall: Preparing for Winter”

Hello, this is Teacher Bear. 我是Bear老師。

小朋友，天氣越來越涼，已經是深秋了，早晚溫差也變大了。

Kids, the weather is getting cooler. It is already late autumn, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is getting larger.

媽媽是不是常常提醒你出門要帶件外套呢？

Does your mother often remind you to bring a coat when you go out?

而其他動物也因為秋天的到來，需要做一些特別的事喔。

Other animals also need to do some special things because of the arrival of autumn.

讓我們來聽聽看，在秋天裡，動物們都忙些什麼？

Let’s listen and see, what are the animals busy with in autumn?

補充一下喔，在美國，秋天的英文是 “fall”，在英國是 “autumn”。

By the way, in the United States, the English word for “qiūtiān” is “fall”, and in the U.K., it is “autumn”.
