Sayings and Proverbs: 俗语 and 谚语

Your younger cousin is about to start her first job in a big city and is nervous. Write her a message (200–400 characters) of advice, using at least four folk sayings or proverbs (熟能生巧, 万事开头难, 一分钱一分货, 远亲不如近邻, 吃一堑长一智, 三个臭皮匠赛过诸葛亮).

  • At least four 俗语 or 谚语, each fitting its situation
  • Sayings introduced naturally (俗话说, 老人常说) or dropped straight into a sentence
  • Practical advice on work, housing and people
  • A warm, older-cousin tone

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