Drill: Greetings, Thanks and Apologies
Greet one person or a whole room, thank and apologise, and give the right reply each time, from single words to short two-part exchanges.
What this drill practises
Twelve items on greetings, thanks and apologies: two gaps, one listening item, then nine phrases to say in Chinese, ending with greetings and requests put together.
Tip: Chinese names the person first and then adds the greeting or the thanks: 老师好, 大家早上好, 谢谢大家. And keep the two replies apart: 不客气 answers thanks, 没关系 answers sorry.
