Welcome to the series— Practice Your Chinese, HSK level 1. It’s designed to provide the HSK level 1 students with the most suitable materials for practicing Chinese. It can also be used for preparing the HSK level 1 test.

This practice series is just the extra part of our elementary Chinese courses, so if you want to learn Chinese in a systematic and efficient way, please choose the full courses (Chinese Pinyin, HSK Level 1 & HSK Level 2).

In each video of this series, first you listen to a story or dialogue at normal speed to get the main idea. Second, listen to the same material but at a much lower speed, and at the same time complete each sentence by filling in the blank with the words or phrases you hear. Lastly, answer a few questions about the story or dialogue.

In today’s Chinese listening practice (HSK1), you’re going to listen to an introduction to the neighborhood of Wang Juan’s home. Below is the script and the translation of the story.

The script in Character

王娟家的前边有一个公园。这个公园很大也很漂亮。天气好的时候，她喜欢带她的狗去那里。王娟家的后边有一个商场。商场里边有商店、饭店和超市，外边有咖啡店和书店。周末她常常去那里买东西和吃晚饭。
