Chinese in Current Affairs-0018(Sentence: 147--149): How to Say "The 2006 World Basketball Championship Opened in Japan"

 

LISTEN TO THE TEXT

Hi friends, do you like sport? Do you like basketball? I have enjoyed basketball since I was young and even played when I was a student. :-) Although I have not touched a basketball for a long time, I still enjoy watching NBA on the television when I have the time. :-) So now, when I am thinking of what I should offer you in today's Daily Chinese, I thought of the 2006 World Basketball Championship which is currently being played in Japan. :-) I do hope what I have done will be a little help to you in your Chinese learning. :-)
