说到室内游戏，我们想到的必定是各种桌游(boardgames)

，比方杀人游戏啦，谁是卧底啦，大财主啦等等。不过我们不要忘了咱们我国的国粹啊!那就是麻将啊!这么盛行的游戏，我们必定得会简略介绍啊，今后出了国，得跟国外的小兄弟们拽一拽!

不过麻将中有若干个专业术语我们要先晓得一下，比方麻将里的“一张牌”叫做tile，“抓牌”叫draw，“出牌”叫discard，“和了”就是have alegal winning hand/complete a legalhand。更多的术语，比方“碰”“吃”都怎么讲，我们可以在维基百科上找到答案哦!下面就给我们一个参阅材料，里边并不需要具体的介绍该游戏的玩法，究竟咱们是去考试的嘛，挑自个会说的说就OK了!

I’d like to talk about Mahjong which is a widely played indoor game thatoriginated in China, and it’s famous among basically every age group. It’sfascinating because it’s a game of skill, strategy, and calculation, andinvolves a degree of chance. And the rules might vary significantly in differentareas, but I’m only familiar with the local rules in my hometown, so that’s whatI’m gonna talk to you about.

When I was little, I played Mahjong pretty much and I did really well.Before I went to primary school, my sister and I lived with our grandparents.And my grandpa’s crazy about playing the game. He even taught me how to play it,and I just found it truly appealing. But now I’m kind of tied up with mystudies, so I haven’t played the game for ages. Anyway, this is how we play it:four players sit around a square table, and we need a set of 144 tiles based onChinese characters and symbols. The four players get 13 tiles each at first, andthen draw and discard tiles till anyone of them who forms 4 groups and a pairwith 14 tiles. We call that a legal hand. The player who first completes thelegal hand becomes the winner. It sounds simple, but can be very hard when youplay. On top of that, it’s just a simple description of the game, and actuallyit involves quite a few terms that are so complicated to explain. Of course,just like what I mentioned earlier, the game sometimes seems to be a test ofyour luck, even if you are very skillful.

I was so into game when I was little. It was our favorite pastime. Mysister, my grandparents and I always played together on weekends. Now I think ofthis, I really miss the good old times, you know, the carefree childhood andall.

期望咱们的国粹能给我们的口语加点儿分数哦!当然，关于大大都的孩子来说，可以在年少年代玩儿的更多的室内游戏是video games或许是playhouse(过家家)，或许是各种棋盘游戏，假定我们对其间的一项情有独钟而且完全不短少语料，那么就请热情汹涌的跟考官大我们畅谈一下你的夸姣年少吧!
