Writing practice

Unit 5 review

Write a short life story of a grandparent or older relative for a family history project: where and when they were born, key events in their life, something they once did or have never done, and how life has changed since a big event.

  • Gives the details of past events with 是…的 (是一九五五年在苏州出生的)
  • Uses 曾经…过 and 从来没…过 or 从来不 for experiences and habits
  • Says what has been true since an event with 自从…以后/以来 or 至今
  • Uses written family words (父亲, 母亲, 父母, 子女) and mentions the person's zodiac sign with 属

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