Writing practice

It, We and Yourself: 它, 咱们, 自己, 大家

You and your flatmate have found a stray kitten outside your building. Write a short dialogue (50–120 characters) in which you decide what to do with it, using 咱们 for the two of you, 它 for the kitten and 自己 for doing something yourselves.

  • Use 咱们 for a "we" that includes the person you're talking to
  • Refer to the kitten with 它
  • Use 自己 for doing something yourselves
  • Add feeling with 啊 (好啊, 多…啊)

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