Writing practice

Even If: 即使…也

You've just signed up for a half marathon next March, and your friends think training through the winter is a crazy idea. Write a diary entry (150–280 characters) about your decision: what could make the training hard, and why you'll keep going anyway.

  • 即使 + a supposed condition, 也 + a result that holds anyway
  • 哪怕…也 for the most extreme case
  • 再 + adjective + 也 for 'however …'

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