我们一年没见面了吧？ 听说你都有女儿了？她多大了？ 她去年秋天出生的，刚过完一岁生日。 她喜欢什么？我送给她。 她就喜欢听她爸爸学鸟叫。哭的时候，只要她爸爸学小鸟叫，她马上就安静下来了。 啊？这个礼物我没办法送。

We haven't met for a year, right? I heard you already have a daughter? How old is she? She was born last fall and just had her first birthday. What does she like? I'll give it to her. She likes to listen to her dad imitate bird calls. When she cries, as long as her dad imitates a little bird's chirping, she calms down right away. Huh? I can't send this gift.
