                 Ways to express the year, the month, the date and the days of a week.


1.                              “        ”+ “    ”
     The way of expressing a year is “number” + “year”
                     1989                           2007
     yī jiǔ bā jiǔ nián             èr líng líng qī nián

     The twelve months are expressed as “number(1--12)” + “month”
         yīyuè           èryuè              sānyuè                sìyuè             wǔyuè               liùyuè

        A date is indicated in the same way as a month: “number (1--31)” + “date”

     Weekdays are indicated by putting “    ” before each of the number’s from “one”
     to “six”: “week” + “number”. The seventh day is written as “         / ”.
