Listen for a detail

What does Wang Li say about himself?

Choose the detail you heard

Show script, meaning, and explanation

你好!我叫王力。我是学生。你叫什么名字?

Hello! My name is Wang Li. I am a student. What is your name?

我是学生 means “I am a student.” The reading has a different role for Wang Li.

If you use the script, this becomes supported reading. Close the script and replay the recording when you are ready.

Read a different account

你好!我叫林安。我是学生。王力是老师。

Show English meaning

Show the answer and why

王力 — The reading says 王力是老师。

Speak with a new detail

Greet a new classmate, give your name, and ask their name. Use real or fictional names.

Try without reading. Work with a partner or make a private recording and listen back. Check the message and the response to your partner; pronunciation needs actual speech.

Show one model

你好!我叫林安。你叫什么名字?

Write and revise

Write a greeting, your name, and your identity. Use a fictional role if you wish.

Show a model and self-review checklist

你好!我叫林安。我是学生。

  • A greeting makes sense in the situation.
  • 我叫 introduces the name.
  • 我是 introduces an identity.

Your writing is not uploaded or automatically graded. Several responses may fit the task.

Remember for next time

叫 gives a name; 是 gives an identity. Use 我叫林安 and 我是学生, rather than swapping the two verbs.

Tomorrow, recall two words and try the speaking task with a new detail. A few days later, revisit the listening without its script.

Teacher and partner guidance

Model the goal, then let the learner attempt it. Check understanding of the spoken passage with the script hidden. Use the writing checklist to discuss meaning and structure; use actual speech to observe intelligibility and interaction. These public tasks are formative and must not be reused as unseen tests.
