HSK4: see what you can use
Original course checkpoints; not official mock papers, scaled HSK scores or unseen assessments.
Work with help closed first. Play each listening passage twice. Complete reading before checking answers. Speaking and writing require human feedback; use the models for review after attempting the task.
Suggested practice time: listening 12 minutes · reading 15 minutes · writing 18 minutes · speaking 6 minutes. Pause whenever you need to. These times are for this short checkpoint.

Passage 1
为了让更多同学参加，学校把讲座从星期五晚上改到了星期六下午。内容和地点不变，已经报名的同学不用重新报名。如果无法参加，请在星期四以前联系办公室。不要只根据原来的海报安排时间。
Passage 2
我原来认为，学习就是把答案记住。一次小组讨论让我发现，我虽然能选出正确答案，却说不清为什么。后来，我每学一个新表达，就自己造一句话，再请同学换一个情况问我。这样做慢一些，但我更容易发现自己还没理解的地方。

同学们好！因为星期五下午教室要维修，原定的汉语学习活动改到星期六上午十点，地点仍然是二楼教室。活动内容不变，已经报名的同学不用重新报名。如果新的时间不方便，请在星期四晚上以前告诉我，我们会安排下一次活动。谢谢大家的理解！
