《English Translation》

小宝: Brother, can I sleep until noon during winter vacation? I want to sleep until twelve!
小刚: There’s a father in Hebei who lets his son sleep until noon and even tells the family not to disturb him.
小宝: Really? Doesn’t he get angry?
小刚: No. He says children are very tired from school, so they should rest well during the holiday. Home should be a place to relax.
小宝: But what if he’s just playing on his phone and not really sleeping?
小刚: That’s why some people support it, and some don’t. Some say children should keep a routine and shouldn’t stay up too late.
小宝: Brother, what do you think?
小刚: I think sleeping a little more is fine, but you should also exercise and study. Rest is important, but you can’t be too lazy.
