How Much Do You Weigh?

你有多重？

親愛(ài)的同學(xué)們，從本期起，《漫畫(huà)樂(lè)園》迎來(lái)了一個(gè)跟你們一樣上小學(xué)的小女孩哈娜（Hana）。她會(huì)在這個(gè)欄目里用英語(yǔ)講述發(fā)生在她們一家人身上的故事喲。大家趕緊來(lái)與Hana一起學(xué)英語(yǔ)吧。

寒假來(lái)了，Hana和她的弟弟巴達(dá)（Bada）因?yàn)槌缘枚?，運(yùn)動(dòng)得少，好像都長(zhǎng)胖了。于是媽媽買(mǎi)了一個(gè)體重秤回來(lái)，一起來(lái)看他們到底有沒(méi)有長(zhǎng)胖吧。
