Writing practice
BC and AD: 公元, 近代
You're a volunteer guide at a history museum. Write the short talk (150–280 characters) you'll give in front of one exhibit: when it was made, which period it belongs to, what it was originally used for, and why it matters.
- Dates with 公元前 or 公元, and a century (…世纪)
- A period: 古代, 近代, 现代 or 当代
- 最初 for 'originally' and 多年 for 'many years'
- 之前 / 之后 or 之一
Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
