Less X Than Y: 与其说…不如说…
A newspaper column has argued that young people who 'lie flat' (躺平) are simply lazy. Write a letter to the editor (200–400 characters) in reply. Reframe the issue with 与其说…不如说… at least twice, back it with an example, and finish with what you think society should do.
- 与其说 A，不如说 B to reframe a claim, at least twice
- A reference to the original article (贵报…刊登的…一文)
- An example or evidence for your reframing
- A formal letter frame and a closing proposal
Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
