# 1 I watch TV on Monday morning

You’ll start this week with a listening activity.

## Activity 1

Listen to the recordings and write down their English translations. The key words to listen for are days of the week. You may remember the formula to form days of the week: xīngqīyī 星期 (week day) + numbers from one to six for Monday to Saturday. For example, ‘Friday’ in Chinese is xīngqīyīwŭ 星期五. For Sunday, there are two terms: xīngqítiān 星期天 and xīngqírì星期日.
