Chinese New Year is here! Grandma gave me a red packet.

我打開一睇，入面有五百蚊！我好開心，即刻同媽媽講。

ngo5 daa2 hoi1 jat1 tai2, jap6 min6 jau5 ng5 baak3 man1! ngo5 hou2 hoi1 sam1, zik1 hak1 tung4 maa4 maa1 gong2.

I opened it and saw five hundred dollars! I was so happy, I told mum right away.

媽媽話：「你要儲起一半，另外一半可以買嘢。」

maa4 maa1 waa6: nei5 jiu3 cyu5 hei2 jat1 bun3, ling6 ngoi6 jat1 bun3 ho2 ji5 maai5 je5.

Mum said: save half, you can spend the other half.

我諗咗一陣，決定買一本新書同一盒朱古力。

I thought for a moment and decided to buy a new book and a box of chocolate.
