North and South: 南方, 北方

A friend is choosing between studying in Harbin (哈尔滨) and Guangzhou (广州). Write an email (50–120 characters) comparing northern and southern China: the weather, the food and anything else you know, and end with a recommendation.

  • Use 北方 / 南方 and compass words (东北, 南边…)
  • Compare with 比, 没有…那么 or 不一样
  • Give temperatures with 零下 and 度
  • End with a recommendation

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