I would like to talk about the time I taught my nephew something new. So it was about three months ago. Um, my sister needed to do something in another city, so she wanted somebody to babysit her, uh, five year old son. At that time, everyone in my family was busy, so I volunteer myself. I drove all the way to her, ah, city, which is like, uh, 200 km away from my home. And then. And when I arrived there, it was about 10:00 a.m. and my sister needed to go outside in a hurry. My nephew is a very active and energetic person. He always wants to watch cartoon or play on his iPad. However, that time, that day, he had already exceeded, uh, the screen time limit, so I couldn’t allow him to do that. I decided to bo a set of my aeroplane chess, uh, which is my favorite game when I was young. And then I talked him the rules, not the basic rules, how to place every, um, pieces of the che on the chess board and how to roll the dice. And it turned out my nephew is very smart, and he picked it up very quickly. And we end up playing this game night for the rest of the day until my sister came back from, uh, whatever he was trying to do. And I very, very happy because I could be very helpful when my sister leaded me. And, uh, he also opened me a very good opportunity to bond with my nephew.

I'd like to share a time I taught something new to my nephew. It was about three months ago when my sister needed to travel to another city and asked for someone to babysit her five-year-old son. Everyone in my family was busy, so I volunteered. I drove all the way to her city, which is about 200 kilometers from my home. I arrived around 10:00 a.m., and my sister had to leave in a hurry. My nephew is a very active and energetic child. He loves watching cartoons and playing on his iPad, but that day, he had already exceeded his screen time limit. I decided to bring out my old airplane chess set, a game I loved as a child. I explained the rules to him, showing him how to place the pieces on the board and how to roll the dice. My nephew is very smart and picked it up quickly. We ended up playing the game for the rest of the day until my sister returned. I was very happy to be helpful to my sister and to have a chance to bond with my nephew. It was a great opportunity to connect with him and share a fun activity.
