Got Blown Away: 叫 and 让 Passives

Write a short anecdote (150–280 characters) about a picnic or a day at the beach that went wrong: things that were blown away, eaten or soaked, and the rubbish you found there.

  • 叫 or 让 passives with the doer named (帽子叫风吹走了)
  • At least one more formal 被 sentence
  • 连…都 for the most surprising case
  • Environment words such as 垃圾, 塑料 or 污染

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