Hello, this is teacher Bear, 我是Bear老師。
小朋友，在第五集(Episode five )跟第十一集(Episode eleven)，Bear老師教了你兩首中文的唐詩(Tang Dynasty poem )，今天Bear老師要教你一首英文詩(an English poem)，這首詩的名字是布穀鳥(The name of this poem is “The Cuckoo”)，這位詩人是 彼得 斯特雷克福斯 (This poet is Peter Streckfus)。
Now, let me read it for you.
現在讓Bear老師來讀這首詩給你聽：

In April, Come he will.
In May,Sing all day.
In June, Change his tune.
In July, Prepare to fly.
In August, Go he must!

什麼意思呢？
In April, 四月裡，
Come he will.他會來。
In May,五月裡，Sing all day. 他整天唱歌。
In June, 六月裡，Change his tune.他改變曲調。
In July, 七月裡，Prepare to fly. 他準備飛翔。
In August, 八月裡，Go he must! 他就得離開了！

小朋友，你知道為什麼八月的時候布穀鳥得離去呢(Do you know why cuckoos have to leave in August)？因為啊！八月以後，秋天、冬天就要來了(Because after August, autumn and winter are coming)，所以布穀鳥要飛到南方去過冬(So cuckoos fly to spend the winter in the south)，等到隔年四月春天的時候再回來(And they will fly back next spring in April)，快樂地度過夏天(then enjoy the summer happily)。

這首詩是不是很可愛呢(very cute)？而且，你聽聽April, will, May, day, June, tune, July, fly, August, must 每個句子的最後一個字都押韻(rhyme)，所以很好聽。

小朋友，你知道從一月到十二月的英文怎麼說嗎？我們一起來學(Let’s learn it together)！
一月January 二月February 三月March 四月April 五月May 六月June

請跟Bear老師再把十二個月的英文說一次：

小朋友，多念幾次，你一定就會記住的(If you read more, you will remember it)。加油(You can do it)！

我們下次見嘍！
See you next time!
