Since the inception of our platform, every Christmas season will provide you with Christmas theme articles, including letters to Santa Claus, Christmas decorations, Christmas wishes, Christmas food and Christmas songs, you can click on the link at the end of the article to view. Today, we are talking about the Christmas song Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer "Red Nose Reindeer Rudolph" and wish you all a Merry Christmas in advance! Happy New Year!
This is the last article of the year, and it is another year of mutual companionship, which is a kind of fate, and it is also an inevitable choice for adults who love to learn to huddle together. We love our children and are eager to improve ourselves, so we learn for life. We are willing to accompany our children, hoping to maximize the effect of companionship, so we would rather work hard ourselves, pick up what has been a headache for ourselves, or envy others, or just a painless subject - English, and then make up for the parent-child vocabulary and talk to the child.
Next year, we are still here to accompany you. I don't know who you are, but I ... I AM WITH YOU!
