How to color Easter Eggs (复活蛋)? Easter egg hunting is the most popular activity during the Easter holiday. It is enjoyed by both children and adults as they search for hidden eggs in gardens and parks. A fun and creative preparation activity for the whole family is coloring Easter eggs at home. Here is how: |
Step 1: Boil the eggs. Put the eggs in a pot of water. Make sure the water covers the eggs. Heat the water until it boils. Cover the pot and take it off the heat. Keep the eggs in the hot water for about 10 minutes and then take them out. Cool the eggs in an ice bath. |
Step 2:Prepare the dyes (染料) Find a bowl that is large enough to hold the eggs. In this bowl, put in 0.5 cups of boiling water, 10 drops of food coloring for each egg and a little white vinegar (醋). Adding more drops of food coloring will result in a stronger color and the vinegar helps make the colors brighter! |
Step 3: Color the eggs. Put the eggs in the bowl and keep them fully in the water at least minutes. Turn them from time to time to make sure all sides get dyed. The longer you leave them in the dyes, the darker the color will be. |
Step 4: Dry the eggs. Place the eggs on paper to allow them to fully dry. If you plan to cat the eggs, keep them in the fridge. Don't leave them out of the fridge for more than 2 hours. |
Learning how to sound like a native speaker can be a hard task. But it's something you'll have to do on your language learning journey. If you want to improve your pronunciation,the tips below will be of great value to you.
Speak slowly and clearly. Pay close attention to getting your words out clearly and speaking slowly as you go. When your pronunciation gets better,you can speed up your speaking speed. | Learn the schwa skillfully The schwa is a vowel which sounds like "uh". English speakers pronounce many other vowel sounds as the schwa. Learning when to exchange them can make your English sound more natural. |
Use" He" and" She" correctly Make sure that you call men "he" and women "she". If you mix them up,it can be confusing(混淆的)for your listeners and it is a giveaway that you are not a native speaker. | Fall tone and rise tone fluently In English,the meaning of what you say can change based on the way you say it. Make sure to work on your falling and rising tones so that your meaning is communicated clearly. |
