全文 The whole story, with pinyin and English
星期六，我第一次去上书法课。
xīng qī liù wǒ dì yī cì qù shàng shū fǎ kè
On Saturday I went to my first calligraphy class.
桌子上放着毛笔、墨水和白白的宣纸。
zhuō zi shàng fàng zhe máo bǐ mò shuǐ hé bái bái de xuān zhǐ
On the table were a writing brush, ink and very white rice paper.
我拿起毛笔，在纸上写了一个“大”字。
wǒ ná qǐ máo bǐ zài zhǐ shàng xiě le yí gè dà zì
I picked up the brush and wrote the character 大 on the paper.
可是我的手一直在抖，写出来的字歪歪扭扭的。
kě shì wǒ de shǒu yì zhí zài dǒu xiě chū lái de zì wāi wāi niǔ niǔ de
But my hand kept shaking, and the character came out all crooked and wobbly.
王老师走过来，握着我的手，教我慢慢地写。
Wáng lǎo shī zǒu guò lái wò zhe wǒ de shǒu jiāo wǒ màn màn de xiě
Teacher Wang came over, held my hand and taught me to write slowly.
老师说：“写毛笔字要坐直，心要静。”
lǎo shī shuō xiě máo bǐ zì yào zuò zhí xīn yào jìng
The teacher said, “When you write with a brush, sit up straight and keep your mind calm.”
我又写了“人”字和“天”字，这次写得整整齐齐。
wǒ yòu xiě le rén zì hé tiān zì zhè cì xiě de zhěng zhěng qí qí
I wrote the characters 人 and 天 too, and this time they were neat and tidy.
王老师点点头，说我进步了，我心里高兴极了。
Wáng lǎo shī diǎn dian tóu shuō wǒ jìn bù le wǒ xīn lǐ gāo xìng jí le
Teacher Wang nodded and said I had improved. I was so happy inside.
