Before you go课后回顾

  1. 1Spend my Saturday in your words: what you do well and badly, who runs faster, what everyone is wearing and holding, how to find the toilet, and who got caught with a milk tea. Five points, one afternoon.
  2. 2The two frames that joined hands here — 比 and 得 — are the first grammar in this course that combines. Say 我跑得比你快 until it is one word.
  3. 3Next: 虽然……但是, 过, 次, 快要……了 and 都……了 — the last five lessons of HSK2, and then the finale.
