Hsk1

HSK: explicit legacy / 3.0 transition

Official new syllabus: published November 2025, states implementation July 2026. Official worldwide launch notice: 13 December 2026. Confirm the booked session version with the test centre. Acquired HSK1_yj samples are legacy. The distinct HSK 3.0 written/oral sample members and audio are now archived with hashes. Teach the reviewed new tasks separately; confirm the booked version and preserve existing grammar lessons. Full vocabulary/character coverage remains in progress.

Official scope: https://hsk.cn-bj.ufileos.com/3.0/%E6%96%B0%E7%89%88HSK%E8%80%83%E8%AF%95%E5%A4%A7%E7%BA%B21219.pdf

任务一、六 · Introductions, identity and polite exchanges

• Say 我叫林安。Wǒ jiào Lín Ān: my name is Lin An. 叫 introduces a name; 是 links identity, as in 我是学生。
• Ask 你是老师吗？ Nǐ shì lǎoshī ma? Adding 吗 turns this statement into a yes-or-no question without changing word order.
• Use 不 with a general negative: 我不是老师。A question-word question already asks what or who; do not add 吗 to 你叫什么名字？
• Choose polite expressions by situation: 你好 for greeting, 谢谢 for thanks, 对不起 for apology, 再见 for leaving.

Checked example

A: 你叫什么名字？ B: 我叫林安。A: 你是学生吗？ B: 是，我是学生。The first answer gives the requested name; the second answers identity. In a school role-play, use invented identities rather than personal contact details.

Common error

Pinyin helps sound recognition but does not replace character reading. These lessons support beginner skills across versions; the legacy sample is not a 3.0 mock.

任务二 · Dates, time and event information

• Numbers build transparently: 十一 is eleven, 二十 is twenty and 二十三 is twenty-three.
• Dates use larger units first: year 年, month 月, day 日 or 号. Time uses 点 and 分.
• Ask 几点 for clock time and 星期几 for day of week. 在哪里 asks where an event occurs.
• A time phrase often comes before the verb: 我今天三点去学校。Keep the person, time, action and place linked.

Checked example

Notice: 星期三下午三点，学校。Answer 星期几？ with 星期三; 几点？ with 下午三点; 在哪里？ with 在学校。The same number 三 has different roles depending on the noun after it.

Common error

Do not answer a weekday question with only an hour. Read the question word and the unit.

任务三、九 · Objects, quantities and buying

• Use quantity + measure word + noun. 一个苹果 is one apple; 两个苹果 is two apples.
• 两 commonly counts objects before a measure word. 二 remains in number names, dates and many ordered numbers.
• 问多少钱 asks the price. 我想买… states a buying wish; 我要… requests an item.
• Use 的 for ownership: 我的书 is my book. Read quantity, item and price separately on a simple label.

Checked example

Customer: 我要两个苹果。Seller: 十块钱。Question: 买什么？—苹果。买几个？—两个。多少钱？—十块钱。The dialogue contains three distinct facts; match the right one to each question.

Common error

Do not omit the measure word in an ordinary counted noun phrase. Learn noun–measure-word combinations in context.

任务四、五 · Weather, places and location

• A basic adjective predicate does not need 是: 今天很热。In this pattern 很 often supports a neutral description.
• Common weather words include 冷、热、下雨、下雪。Use 今天、明天 to keep the date clear.
• Use 在 to locate: 学校在这里。A place name does not by itself tell direction; inspect context.
• Express preference with 喜欢: 我喜欢晴天。A preference is different from a weather report.

Checked example

A: 今天天气怎么样？ B: 很冷，还下雨。A: 学校在哪里？ B: 在医院旁边。One answer describes weather; the other locates a building relative to another.

Common error

Do not insert 是 before an ordinary adjectival predicate such as 很冷.

任务七、十五 · Meals and traditional foods

• Use 吃 for food and 喝 for drinks: 吃米饭、喝水。Say 喜欢 to express a preference.
• 想 + verb expresses a wish: 我想喝茶。A question with 什么 asks the item, not simply yes or no.
• For an ongoing action, 在 or 正在 goes before the verb. 了 can mark completed action or a change; it is not a universal past-tense suffix.
• Names such as 饺子、包子、面条 are practical menu-reading targets. Do not infer that every family follows one food custom.

Checked example

A: 你想吃什么？ B: 我想吃饺子。A: 喝什么？ B: 喝水。Question 你在吃什么？ instead asks what is being eaten now; the learner must distinguish intention and present action.

Common error

了 does not translate every English past-tense verb. Attend to completion and change in the full context.

任务八 · Travel, destinations and simple directions

• Use 去 plus a destination for going there, and 在 for being there. Time usually precedes the action.
• Describe travel with 坐: 坐公交车、坐火车。Walk with 走路 or 步行 in the appropriate context.
• Ask 去哪里？ for destination and 怎么去？ for mode. Ask 几点走？ for departure time.
• Read ticket fields separately: destination, date and time. A printed number can be a seat, platform or time.

Checked example

我明天八点坐火车去上海。Tomorrow is the date reference, eight is the departure hour, train is the mode and Shanghai is the destination. Do not answer a destination question with 坐火车.

Common error

A place word after 在 describes current location; after 去 it can describe the goal of travel.

任务十、十一 · Needs, wellbeing and leisure

• Use 不舒服 for feeling unwell and 想休息 for wanting rest. These are language expressions, not medical conclusions.
• 你想做什么？ asks a desired action; 我喜欢看书 describes a leisure preference.
• Use 能 or 会 carefully: ability learned through practice often uses 会; capability in a situation can use 能.
• Offer simple comfort such as 多休息。Do not turn an everyday language role-play into medical advice.

Checked example

A: 你怎么了？ B: 我不舒服，想休息。A: 好，多休息。In leisure practice, 你会游泳吗？ asks whether the person knows how to swim; 你今天能游泳吗？ asks about today’s possibility.

Common error

A language exercise about symptoms does not diagnose an illness or recommend treatment.

任务十二—十四 · School, study and work routines

• Use a person + time + verb + object sequence: 我上午学中文。A location can appear before the verb with 在.
• 有 expresses having or existence: 学校有图书馆。没有 is its ordinary negative.
• Ask 在哪里学习？ or 在哪里工作？ for place and 什么时候？ for time.
• Read a timetable by row and column. Keep class name, location and time attached to the right event.

Checked example

Timetable: 周一九点中文课，十点数学课。Answer “中文课几点开始？” with 九点, not 十点. “学校没有游泳池” states the absence of a pool; it does not deny the library exists.

Common error

Do not use 不有 for the ordinary negative of 有; use 没有.

听力与阅读 · Listen for the referent and read for the relationship

• The new level-one sample has twenty listening items and twenty reading items. Its cover allocates about twelve minutes to listening, twenty to reading and three to answer transfer; the full sitting includes five minutes for personal information. Learn the task from the new sample rather than borrowing the legacy pacing.
• For picture choices, identify who is present, what the person does and any visible quantity. Listen to the entire phrase before selecting. A familiar noun alone is insufficient: 女儿喝水 and 女儿吃饭 share a person but describe different actions. In classroom listening, the teacher keeps the script hidden and gives every learner the same delivery.
• For short written information, preserve polarity and the question word. 几 asks a number, 谁 a person and 哪儿 a place. A reply 北京 answers a place question; 三个人 answers a quantity question. Read the whole utterance, including 不 and 没, before matching a picture or a reply.
• On feedback, reveal the script and name the contrast that caused the error. Practise a new case after feedback, not the identical exposed item. Written multiple-choice checks below assess task understanding; the held-out teacher-read task is the evidence of listening performance. Record correct meaning separately from character recognition.

Checked example

Teacher-read rehearsal, script hidden: “桌子上有两个杯子。” Learners choose between a table with two cups and a table with three books. Correct: two cups; 有 states existence, 两个 counts cups and 桌子上 locates them. A printed copy would test reading, not listening.

Common error

A matching object does not rescue the wrong quantity. Do not claim a visible-script task proves listening ability.
