Unit 4 review

Your company's amateur football (or basketball) team has just played in a final. Write a report for the staff newsletter: who you played, how the match went, the turning points and the final score, and what the team learned from it.

  • Surprises and bad luck: 不料 or 居然, and 偏偏 for something that went wrong at the worst moment
  • Effort and outcome: 好不容易 (才) or 总算, and 毕竟 for the decisive reason
  • Doubt and inevitability: 不见得 or 不至于, and 难免 for a forgivable mistake
  • Match language: 第…届, 联赛 / 决赛, 冠军, 失误, 防守, and a score with 以 … 比 … 战胜 / 输给

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