Viết một chữ, sau đó viết một câu trong một cảnh

From pinyin to character

• A writing task shows: we / us我们wǒ menin the same place一起yì qǐto go去qù ___ (fàn) inn店diànvariant of 吃吃chīlunch午饭wǔ fàn(suggestion)吧ba。 You must write the character for fàn.
• The answer is cooked rice饭fàn, not contrary反fǎn or surname Fan范fàn: the sentence is about eating, so the character with the food radical "to eat" or "food" radical…饣shí fits.

Use the sentence to choose the character

• Many characters share a sound. The meaning of the sentence tells you which one: restaurant饭店fàn diàn (restaurant), to oppose反对fǎn duì (oppose), model模范mó fàn (model).
• Look at radicals: "to eat" or "food" radical…饣shí food, "water" radical in Chinese…氵shui water, mouth口kǒu mouth, "speech" or "words" radical…讠yán speech, (bound form) tree木mù wood. to shout喝hē (drink) has mouth口kǒu; to wash洗xǐ (wash) has "water" radical in Chinese…氵shui.

One sentence from a scene word

• Another task gives a picture and one word (for example to run跑步pǎo bù) and asks for a complete sentence.
• Include who, the action and one more detail you can see: he / him他tāevery day每天měi tiānearly morning早上zǎo shàngat / in在zàipark (for public recreation)公园gōng yuánto run跑步pǎo bù。

he他tāevery每天měi tiānmorning早上zǎo shangin在zàithe park公园gōng yuánruns跑步pǎo bù。

Write only what you can see

• Describe the picture; do not invent details that are not shown: if the picture shows one person, don't write they他们tā men.
• Keep the word you were given unchanged and use it correctly: to run跑步pǎo bù is a verb, so I / me我wǒdegree / adjective linker很hěnto run跑步pǎo bù ✗.
