help me!

Hi ^^,
 
         For the oral report, I want to video-tape your work, and put it into text (I'll do this, you don't need to write anything, just practice speaking), and then to show them in the showing board.
         I'm thinking about a good name for this. Now I have something like "今天你说中文了吗?(Did you speak Chinese today?)", "天天说中文 (speak Chinese everyday)", and "EP 中文频道 (EP Chinese Chanel)". Do you like any one? Or can you help me with more interesting and cool name (but it has to be related with what we do-oral report)?

         Thanks!!!!

今天天气很冷。冬冬和兰兰决定去麻辣菜。他们喜欢辣的菜。冬冬只知道一点中文,所以兰兰帮。兰兰对服务员说:你们的特色菜是什么? 服务员告诉他们特色菜是麻婆豆腐和水煮鱼。冬冬不懂服务员的话,所以他请兰兰帮他把服务员说的话翻译文。兰兰说:该点水煮鱼。又好吃,又非常辣。 于是,冬冬随到就点了水煮鱼。兰兰点了麻婆豆腐。兰兰和冬冬一起吃菜的时候,兰兰觉得麻婆豆腐比水煮鱼辣。她觉得很辣,嘴非常的热, 冬冬给兰兰点了很多可乐,兰兰才感觉好点冬冬笑兰兰不能吃辣,还点这么辣的菜。冬冬, 告诉兰兰下一次不点了麻婆豆腐了。

昨天,彼得和小明去四川饭馆, 因为这个饭馆是新开的. (You can also say, 附近新开了一个四川饭馆,彼得和小明想去试一下.) 彼得有吃四川,他不熟悉饭知道应该怎么点菜 这是小明第二次到中国饭馆吃饭所以他也不熟悉点菜.彼得看菜单的时候.他不到饭再踩. 于是, 服务员:” 我们不熟悉四川菜. 请你给我推荐各吧.” 副无缘服务员:”(ying)该吃特色菜.” 小明问:”特色菜是什么?”
麻婆豆腐, 水煮鱼是这饭馆的特色菜. 科室可是麻婆豆腐和水煮鱼费场非常. 你能吃辣的吗?” 说服务员服务员说. 彼得和小明:” 还可以.” 小明问:”辣椒是什么意思?” “意思是这个菜比较辣. 麻婆豆腐后面有三个辣椒,所以这个菜特别辣.” 说服务员服务员说. “.我们点两个麻婆豆腐,”小明说. 会儿, 服务员带来他们的饭. 小明和彼得一啃吃了一口麻婆豆腐. “非常辣! 我们要点红茶!” 可是参观餐馆没有茶, 汽水所以他们点了很多可口可乐.
