Writing practice

At That Time: 当时, 那时候, 这时

Write a short blog post (50–120 characters) about a moment you will always remember: where you were at the time, what you were doing, what happened just then, and how you felt.

  • Set the scene in the past with 那时候 or 当时
  • Mark the turning point with 这时(候)
  • Start a sentence with a time phrase or …的时候
  • Say how you felt then and how you feel now

Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
