Idioms with Numbers: 五颜六色, 一心一意, 七上八下

You're travelling in Yunnan with a friend. Write a postcard (150–280 characters) to your Chinese teacher: describe what you've seen and done, one moment you were nervous, and use number idioms where they fit.

  • At least two number idioms, such as 五颜六色, 七上八下 or 一举两得
  • Each idiom in the right slot: 五颜六色的 + noun, 心里七上八下, 真是一举两得
  • At least one everyday 成语 from earlier, such as 入乡随俗

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