你提到的那几部电视剧,我其实已经看过《长歌行》,但是我没意识到故事背景是唐朝的。我喜欢这部电视剧。我觉得虽然所有的人物都不一样,但是每个人都有各自的特色。我也喜欢这部电视剧,因为它让我了解到少数民族的生活。另外两部电视剧我也想看,因为它们看起来都很有意思。我有一本小本子,我会把想看的电视剧名字写在本子上,所以我会写下这两部。我用 YouTube、Netflix 或者爱奇艺看电视剧,希望我能找到它们! 对我来说,爱奇艺的电视剧质量挺好的。
↑ 点绿色的字看讲解 Tap the green words练习里的几个地方 From your exercises
· 阅读 1:唐朝的首都家长安 → 叫长安;哪里 → 那里。 Two typing slips. 那里 (nàlǐ, there) vs 哪里 (nǎlǐ, where?) — one dot of difference, opposite jobs.
· 阅读 2:唐人节 → 唐人街;中国很有相信 → 很有自信。 自信 (zìxìn) = confidence in oneself. 相信 (xiāngxìn) = to believe something. They share a character but aren't interchangeable.
· 阅读 3:皇帝去世了后 → 皇帝去世之后(或以后)。 I think you were reaching for 之后 — the 了 just slipped in. Both 之后 and 以后 attach straight to the verb, with no 了 in between: 去世之后, 下课以后, 吃完以后.
关于武则天 About that question
Thank you for telling me — I'm glad you did. I did wonder about that one when I was setting it: writing an opinion about a historical figure asks for more than language, since you need enough background to form a view from, and one lesson isn't much to go on. I'll keep that in mind when I set the next questions.
One thing in the sentence itself: 为了 means in order to, which isn't the meaning you need here. To say your Chinese isn't yet up to something, use 不够 (bùgòu, not enough) or 太难 (tài nán, too hard): 我的中文还不够好,没办法聊武则天 (my Chinese isn't good enough to talk about her), or 用中文聊武则天,对我来说还太难 (talking about her in Chinese is still too hard for me).
这次的两个重点Two patterns from your writing
A. “都”放在哪儿 Where 都 goes
你写“因为它们都看起来很有意思”。规律是:“都”放在谓语前面。谓语可以是动词,也可以是形容词。 都 goes immediately before the predicate — the part that says what the subject does or is like. That predicate can be a verb (去, 喝) or an adjective phrase (很有意思, 很好喝).
谓语是形容词: 这些茶都很好喝。 · 它们都很有意思。
你那句为什么要动? 因为“看起来”后面还有说明的部分,而“都”说的是很有意思这件事:
还有一条:“都”前面一定要先出现它指的那些人或东西,所以它不能放在句子最前面。 都我们去 都 always refers back to something already mentioned, so it can never open a sentence.
再看几个:
✓ 这些茶都很好喝。 · ✓ 我每天都喝茶。
都我们去 我都每天喝茶
小提示:“都”说的是前面那些人或东西,所以它前面一定要先出现那些人或东西。 都 refers back to whatever came before it, so the group must be mentioned first. That's why 都 can never start a sentence.
B. 量词:一首诗、两部剧、一本本子 Measure words
这次你写了“这两标题”,录音里说了“一个诗”。中文的名词前面几乎都要有量词,而且不同的东西用不同的量词。 You wrote 这两标题 and said 一个诗 in your recording. Almost every noun in Chinese needs a measure word, and different things take different ones.
部 bù —— 电视剧、电影、小说:两部电视剧 · 一部电影
本 běn —— 书、本子:一本小本子 · 三本书
杯 bēi —— 装在杯子里的:一杯茶 · 两杯咖啡
种 zhǒng —— 种类:六种茶 · 这种方法
你已经用对过本(一本小本子)——只是后面说“这两标题”的时候忘了。“这两”后面一定要有量词:这两个标题(留着名词),或者这两部(名词省掉,量词代替它)。 You got 一本小本子 right — the slip came later. After 这两 a measure word is compulsory: either 这两个标题 or 这两部.
中国的茶:六个大类,一片叶子Chinese tea: six families, one leaf
读的时候,粉色的词点开看拼音和意思,蓝色的词点开看小知识。 Tap the pink words for pinyin & meaning, and the blue words for a culture note.
一、先说一件可能让你意外的事
英文说的 black tea,中文叫“红茶”。一个看干茶叶的颜色,一个看茶汤的颜色。
二、六大茶类
中国的茶分成六大类:绿茶、白茶、黄茶、乌龙茶、红茶、黑茶。
有意思的是:它们来自同一种植物。同一片山上的叶子,工艺不一样,就成了不一样的茶。分类的关键是发酵的程度和工艺。
下面按发酵程度从轻到重排:
· 绿茶(不发酵)—— 杀青 → 揉捻 → 干燥。代表:龙井、碧螺春。
· 白茶(微发酵)—— 步骤最少:萎凋 → 干燥。代表:白毫银针。
· 黄茶(轻发酵)—— 比绿茶多一步闷黄。代表:君山银针。
· 乌龙茶(半发酵)—— 关键是做青。代表:铁观音、大红袍。
· 红茶(全发酵)—— 不杀青,直接萎凋 → 揉捻 → 发酵 → 干燥。代表:祁门红茶。
· 黑茶(后发酵)—— 关键是渥堆。
除了这六类,还有一类叫花茶(再加工茶),比如茉莉花茶。
普洱茶比较特别,分“生普”和“熟普”:熟普基本归在黑茶里,生普归哪一类到今天还有争议。
三、中国人怎么喝
中国人喝茶,一般不加奶,也不加糖,喝的是茶叶本身的香和味道。
南方有一种喝法叫“功夫茶”:壶很小,杯子也很小,一泡一泡地喝,可以喝一下午。
茶也是一种礼节。客人来了要倒茶;别人给你倒茶的时候,很多人会行“叩指礼”:食指和中指弯曲起来,轻敲桌面三下。
如果你以后去中国,可以去成都坐一坐茶馆。我去过成都的大旗茶馆,很推荐:一杯茶可以坐一下午。
每一类茶背后都还有很多故事——产地、冲泡的水温、怎么品,还有一些特别的茶自己的故事:比如大红袍母树只剩六棵、铁观音名字的来历、普洱为什么能存很多年。如果你对某一种特别感兴趣,下次我们可以专门讲一讲。

你和茶You and tea · 150–200 字
三个问题,选你有话说的写就好。
- 你平时喝什么茶?一天喝几次?中国的茶你喝过哪些? (what do you drink, how often — and which Chinese teas have you tried?)
- 英国的下午茶是什么样的?跟课文里说的中国喝法比,有什么不一样? (compare with what you've just read)
- 课文里的六种茶,你想试哪一种?为什么? (which of the six would you try?)
Tips
- 量词:一杯茶 · 一种茶 · 一壶茶
- “都”在动词前:我们家人都喜欢喝茶
- 频率:我一天喝三杯 · 每天早上
- 比较:英国的茶跟中国的不一样 · 我更喜欢…
你的录音反馈Feedback on your recordings
你问的:-eng 和 -ang Your question: -eng vs -ang
Your own explanation is exactly right: in French en and an sound the same, so when you see -eng and -ang your ear treats them as one. In Chinese they are two separate sounds, and mixing them up gives you a different word.
cháng 长 · shàng 上 · fāng 方 · táng 糖
-eng — mouth stays relaxed and only slightly open. The vowel is the unstressed uh sound in English the or sofa — much shorter and further back than -ang.
chéng 城 · shēng 生 · fēng 风 · téng 疼
Why 长城 is hard: it happens to be one of each, back to back — cháng (mouth wide) followed by chéng (mouth relaxed). Say them apart first, then join: cháng → chéng → chángchéng.
Practise these pairs — each pair differs only in this one sound:
忙 máng / 蒙 méng · 汤 tāng / 疼 téng · 帮 bāng / 崩 bēng
A trick that helps: rest a hand under your chin. On -ang the jaw drops noticeably; on -eng it barely moves. If your hand feels the same on both, they're still merging.
“长城”为什么难? 因为它正好是两个连在一起:cháng(嘴大)+ chéng(嘴小)。慢慢念:cháng → chéng → cháng chéng。
练一练,每组两个词只差这一个音:
方 fāng / 风 fēng · 忙 máng / 蒙 méng · 汤 tāng / 疼 téng
A trick that helps: put a hand under your chin. On -ang the jaw drops noticeably; on -eng it barely moves. If your hand feels the same on both, they're still merging.
Reading practice 朗读
The four lines of the poem are grouped clearly.
· 床前明月光 — chuáng qián míng yuè guāng, tones 2–2–2–4–1. Make 床 chuáng and 前 qián clearer; 明 míng should rise, while 光 guāng stays high and level.
· 低头思故乡 — dī tóu sī gù xiāng, tones 1–2–1–4–1. Contrast carefully: 思 sī not 四 sì · 故 gù not 股 gǔ · 乡 xiāng not 向 xiàng.
· 晚上 wǎnshang — in this time expression 上 shang is short and light; don't give it a full tone.
Speaking practice 口语
Your ideas are easy to follow. You use 但是、发现 and 所以 to connect the different parts of your experience.
· 法 fǎ in 法国 — third tone.
· 上课 shàngkè — both syllables falling fourth tone.
· The poet's name wasn't clear enough for me to catch it 😭 — do tell me who it was!
· 背诵 bèisòng — both falling. It sometimes sounded closer to 北宋 Běi Sòng: 背 bèi is fourth tone, 北 běi is third.
Expression 表达
The main point is the measure word for a poem:
· 一个诗 → 一首诗 · 这个诗 → 这首诗
· 我试试背诵这个诗 → 我试着背诵一下这首诗
· 我发现了我忘记了它的第一…… → 但是我发现我忘记了它的第一句
· 所以我去看了看这首诗,背诵背诵 → 所以我去看了看这首诗,再背诵一下(understandable as it was, just smoother this way)
Your answer, lightly adjusted 你的回答
我小的时候在法国上课。在法国,孩子们都会学一首诗。这首诗是一位很有名的法国诗人写的。我还记得这首诗,所以我试着背诵了一下。但是我发现我忘记了它的第一句,所以我去看了看这首诗,再背诵一下。

最后:长城 chángchéng - 朗读 Read aloud(约 30 秒):读课文“三、中国人怎么喝”的第一段和第二段。 中国人喝茶,一般不加奶,也不加糖。喝的是茶叶本身的香和味道。南方有一种喝法叫“功夫茶”:壶很小,杯子也很小,一泡一泡地喝,可以喝一下午。
- 说一说 Tell me(约 1 分钟):你平时喝什么茶?怎么喝?你去中国的时候,去过茶馆吗?有没有喝过让你印象深刻的茶?
What tea do you drink, and how? When you were in China, did you ever go to a teahouse — or drink a tea that stayed with you? Useful: 我平时喝… / 我在中国喝过… / 我印象最深的是… / 跟英国不一样的是…
Pronunciation tip: this passage is full of your target sound — 香 xiāng, 汤 tāng, 壶 hú, 糖 táng. Take 长城 slowly whenever it comes up.
