| This morning I was having class with Queenie, a middle school-aged girl in Shenzhen, South China. We were working on some Q&A about a reading passage, and as I usually do, I asked “Do you have any questions?” (Cultural note: many Chinese students, for various reasons, are often reluctant to ask questions, so I am always glad when my students do.) She asked about question 4 in the book: “Why is the bridge in India a bridge to remember?” The answer was, it carried 100,000 automobiles a day. However, she was curious about the phrase, “a ______ to remember.” So, I was able to explain it thus: In Chinese, it’s most like 很难忘. It is literally “Hard to forget.” So, you might have sentences like: Graduation from high school is a night to remember. (Since our son David is graduating from high school in a few hours, that thought was on my mind.) Our visit to Hawaii in 2010 was a trip to remember.
Hiking on the Appalachian Trail–an experience to remember! The baseball game where we went into extra innings and won by one run was a game to remember. And I asked Queenie, “Last summer, you came to our summer camp. Was that a summer to remember? She said, “yes!” So, Queenie can say, The 2014 Summer Camp with DreyerCoaching.com was a summer to remember.”
