Review: make a daily schedule
Review quantities, times, and the order of a simple routine sentence.
What you’ll work on
- Recall number–measure word–noun order.
- Use time and location before the action.
- Arrange a meeting using a clear time.
A short conversation
Google voice when available; device voice as a fallback. Pinyin shows dictionary tones; natural speech includes the tone changes taught in the lessons.
你明天几点起床？
What time will you get up tomorrow?
我七点起床，然后在家学习。
I will get up at seven, then study at home.
我们下午三点见，好吗？
Shall we meet at three in the afternoon?
好。下午三点见。
All right. See you at three in the afternoon.
Arrange the setting before the event
A useful order is subject + time + place + action. Start with who, then when and where, then what they do. Time can also appear before the subject.
Use actual or invented details. A clear short schedule gives more practice than a long list of unfamiliar actions. 然后 means “then”; you will practice linking actions more fully in Unit 6.
Check your numbers aloud
Read the number before choosing the measure word. 二 belongs in 二十三, while 两 is used in 两本书 and 两点. 本 counts books; 杯 counts cupfuls.
Repeat a meeting time back to confirm it. Add 上午 or 下午 when the part of the day could be unclear. 好吗 after a suggestion asks whether it is acceptable.
Lesson vocabulary
Listen once, say it aloud, and try to recall the Chinese before looking.
| Chinese / pinyin | English | Listen |
|---|---|---|
| 两本书 liǎng běn shū | two books | |
| 两点半 liǎng diǎn bàn | half past two | |
| 上午 shàng wǔ | morning | |
| 下午 xià wǔ | afternoon | |
| 在家 zài jiā | at home | |
| 然后 rán hòu | then | |
| 好吗 hǎo ma | all right? / shall we? |
Practice questions
Try every question, then check your answers. Capital letters and punctuation do not affect your score. Pinyin tone marks matter. For typed answers, use simplified characters or the taught pinyin (spacing is flexible).
Showing an answer makes that question a practice item worth zero for this attempt. Retry with the answers hidden when you’re ready. If audio cannot play, use Show answer / text to practice by reading.
Independent practice
These are independent practice tasks. The site does not record your voice, save your writing, or grade open-ended answers. Ask a teacher or conversation partner for feedback when you can.
Speaking practice
Describe tomorrow morning in two sentences, then arrange an afternoon meeting.
Writing practice
Write three quantities and three times. Use one of each in a complete sentence.
