Welcome to the series— Practice Your Chinese, HSK level 2. It’s designed to provide the HSK level 2 students with the most suitable materials for practicing Chinese. It can also be used for preparing the HSK level 2 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 (HSK Level 2) practice lesson, you’re going to listen to a story about how Anna and her parents will spend their summer vacation.

The script in Character

假期就要到了。今年夏天安娜要跟家人去中国旅游。中国有很多好玩儿的地方，可是安娜最想去爬长城、看大熊猫，所以他们打算先到北京，然后去成都。

安娜的爸爸正在买到北京的机票，她妈妈正在网上订酒店。去旅游以前，安娜也有很多事情要准备，比如看一些中国历史的书，学一些简单的中文。
