Unit 17 review

You're spending a week somewhere in China. Write a short post for your friends (60-150 characters): what the weather and temperature are like, what the landscape is like (a river, lake, the sea, mountains), and one thing you saw in the local news.

  • Describe the weather with 晴天, 阴天, 多云 or 下雪, and give a temperature with 气温/温度 + 度 (零下 if it's below zero).
  • Describe the landscape with 河, 湖 or 海 and the right measure word (一条河, 一座山).
  • Compare the place with home or another region using 南方/北方 or 东北/西南.
  • Report something from the news with 新闻说, 出现 or 发现, and an effect with 影响.

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