2017 - Getting the engine started. Review, Review and Review!

It has been a while since my last post in November. Half a month has passed in 2017. Let’s get the engine starting, by doing a few translations that covers whatever we have learnt in 2016.
  1. 今年是2017年。Jīnnián shì 2017 nián
  2. 我今年年底要去日本。Wǒ jīnnián  niándǐ yào qù Rìběn
  3. 他们都没去过日本。Tāmen dōu méiqùguò Rìběn

Please translate the following to Chinese.

  7. Last weekend, she brought the kids to the zoo.
