What you did well 做得好的地方
✓ You used 不巧 (bùqiǎo, as bad luck would have it) — the word from last lesson's corrections. The order needs a small fix, but reaching for it at all is excellent.
✓ 如果…就… twice, both correct: 如果下大雪…我们就不出门 / 如果路上太危险了,学校放假.
✓ 其实 (qíshí, actually) and 大部分时间 (dàbùfen shíjiān, most of the time) — natural, spoken-sounding choices.
✓ You answered the comparison question properly: the UK has three warning colours, and China has four.
✓ 7 of your 8 translations were correct.
Green underline = something I changed. Tap it to see what you originally wrote and why.
这里的夏天很好,大部分时间天气不太热。但是,因为湿度很高,有时候感觉比实际温度更热。不巧的是,这里今年夏天有点儿干,最近发生了一场森林大火。其实,我们的情况比其他欧洲国家好多了,所以我觉得还可以。
如果下大雪、下大雨,我们就不出门。如果路上太危险了,学校就放假。
英国的预警有三种颜色:黄色、橙色和红色。冬天常常有下雪和结冰的预警,有时候有大风预警。我在手机上下载了一个天气预报 App,如果有问题,App 会给我发预警。
从批改往前走一步Two extensions from your corrections
上面的批改已经讲过每个句子,这里不重复,只说两个用得最多的地方。 The pop-ups above explain each fix; this section goes one step further.
A. 量词:除了「个」,还有这些 Measure words beyond 个
你写了「三个颜色」和「一个森林的火」。中文的量词很多,用对了句子会一下子自然很多。 You wrote 三个颜色 and 一个森林的火. Chinese has many measure words, and using the right one instantly makes a sentence sound natural.
种 counts KINDS of something, not individual items. Three colours = three kinds → 三种颜色.
场 is for events that run for a while and then finish — a fire, a downpour, a film, a match.
位 wèi — people, politely:一位老师 · 三位客人
你已经会的:一道菜、一家饭店、一份米线。这次再加上「种」和「场」。 You already know 道 (dishes), 家 (restaurants, shops) and 份 (portions) — now add 种 and 场.
B. 「好多了」和「好多」不一样 Two very different things
你写「比其他欧洲国家好多」,少了一个「了」——加不加,意思差很远。 You wrote 比…好多, missing the 了. That little word changes the meaning completely.
我们比他们好多。 — 这样不完整,中文不这么说
比 + adjective + 多了 = "much more…". Without the 了 the sentence is incomplete in Chinese.
「比」后面说程度,有三种说法:
今年比去年热得多。 / 今年比去年热多了。 — much hotter
今年比去年热 3 度。 — hotter by 3 degrees
记住:程度永远放在形容词后面,不能放前面(× 比去年很热)。 The degree always comes AFTER the adjective — never 很 before it.
流行语:四个词,四种心情Buzzwords: four words, four moods
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.
中国有一本《咬文嚼字》杂志。每年年底,它会发布「十大流行语」。下面四个词都上过这个榜单。它们是不同年份的词,可是到现在大家还在用。
躺平(tǎngpíng)—— 2021 年
躺是躺下,平是平平地。本来的意思就是「平躺着」。现在是一种态度:太累了,不想再拼命了,先停一停。相当于英语里的 to lie flat / to opt out。
「这个星期太累了,周末我要在家躺平。」
This week has been exhausting — this weekend I'm just going to flop at home.
破防(pòfáng)—— 2021 年
破是打破,防是防御。这个词本来是网游里的词:防御被打破了。现在说的是心理上的防线。它有两种用法:
① 说自己:被感动了,想哭。相当于 that got me。
「看到那个视频,我直接破防了。」
That video just got me — I welled up.
② 说别人:被说到痛处,急了、生气了。网上吵架的时候常常这么说,有一点嘲笑的意思。相当于 he lost it / he's rattled。
「你看他,一说到这个就破防了。」
Look at him — mention this and he completely loses it.
搭子(dāzi)—— 2023 年
这个词本来是上海话,意思是「一起做一件事的伙伴」。现在指只在一件事上一起玩的朋友。一起吃饭的叫「饭搭子」,一起运动的叫「运动搭子」,还有学习搭子、旅游搭子。做完那件事,大家就各自回家,平时不太联系。相当于英语里的 a gym buddy / a lunch buddy——只是中文可以把任何活动放在「搭子」前面。
「我们是饭搭子,每周三一起吃午饭。」
We're meal buddies — we have lunch together every Wednesday.
活人感(huórén gǎn)—— 2025 年
「活人」是真实的人,「感」是感觉。网上的照片和视频修得太完美了,大家看多了,反而觉得假。所以现在有点乱、有点不完美、一看就是真人做的东西,反而更受欢迎。相当于英语里的 real / unfiltered。
「她的视频很有活人感,不像广告。」
Her videos feel like a real person made them — not like an advert.
流行语像一面镜子。它照出大家最关心什么、在想什么,也照出社会发生了什么变化。有的词过一阵子就没人说了;有的词说得很准,慢慢就变成了日常用语。
今年(2026)也有新词,比如「反精致」和「边界感」。
反精致:不再要求什么都很完美、很讲究。
「我现在反精致,出门不化妆也没关系。」
I've gone anti-polish — I don't mind going out without make-up now.
边界感:知道人和人之间该有的分寸,不多问、不多管。
「他很有边界感,从来不问我这些。」
He has a good sense of boundaries — he never asks me about things like that.

你的录音反馈Feedback on your recordings
Progress 进步
Compared with your previous recordings, you are now expressing longer and more connected ideas. You used words such as 但是, 其实 and 所以 to explain yourself, and the reading included more difficult vocabulary.
Pronunciation 发音
· 常常 (chángcháng):understandable, but make the -ang sound clearer.
· 热 (rè):pay attention to the fourth tone — it should fall clearly.
· 预警 (yùjǐng):预 has a falling fourth tone, and 警 has a third tone.
· 如果 (rúguǒ):pay attention to 如 rú, including its second tone.
· 去 (qù):pay attention to this syllable and its falling fourth tone.
For your next recording, focus especially on 常常, 热, 如 and 去.
Expression 表达
· 没有很多很多雨 → 雨不多 / 没有下很多雨
· 所以我们习惯 → 所以我们习惯了
· 下雨的衣服 → 雨衣 (yǔyī)
Your answer, lightly adjusted 你的回答
今年夏天有点热,但是雨不多。不过,这里其实不太热,所以没关系。我们可以出门,也可以去海边等等。这里常常下雨,所以我们习惯了。我们可以带雨衣,也可以用雨伞。但是这里也常常刮风,所以雨伞不太有用。

- Tell me 说一说 (about 1 minute): 四个词里,你觉得哪一个最有意思?为什么?你有没有想「躺平」的时候?
Which of the four words do you find most interesting, and why? Have you ever felt like 躺平? Useful: 我觉得… / 说实话… / 对我来说… / 因为…
