Writing practice

则: Then, Whereas, As For

A Chinese friend can't decide whether to do a master's degree in Britain or in Germany. Write her a comparison (200–400 characters) in a written style, covering costs, length of study, teaching style and work after graduation. Use 则 to contrast the two, and 亦, 均 or 皆 at least twice.

  • 则 for 'whereas' between two compared items, at least twice
  • 若…,则… for a condition and its consequence
  • Written 亦, 均, 皆 or 多为 in place of 也, 都 and 大多是
  • A conclusion that depends on her priorities

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