Unit 17 review

Your city's science museum runs a website series called 'Science in Five Minutes'. Write one article (400–700 characters) explaining to a general reader how vaccines protect us: what happens in the body step by step, why some people get mild side effects, and why vaccinating many people protects everyone.

  • A clear sequence for the process: 首先…随后…最终, with 由于…从而 or 也就是说 to explain a step
  • At least three verb + 于 compounds: 有助于, 取决于, 得益于, 源于, 致力于 or 归功于
  • Medical vocabulary: 疫苗, 接种, 免疫, 病毒, 感染, 副作用, 传染病
  • One everyday comparison (打个比方, 好比 or 就像) that makes the science easy to picture

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