Practice on text n°3
Click to open.
This final exercise is the most difficult. It trains the writing skill. Please translate the text from English to Chinese (in Chinese characters of course!) The Chinese text is intentionally hidden to facilitate the exercise. You just need to click to show the text in simplified or traditional characters according to your choice.
You are unlikely to be able to translate the entire text on the first try. It is best to proceed sentence by sentence.
Then do the same exercise orally.
I live in Beijing
My name is Li Liang, I am French. I live in China for three years. I really like China. I rarely return to France. I work in an American Apple Store in Beijing. In front of this store there is a Xiaomi store. Behind there is a taxi rank. There is also a train station. There are a lot of customers shopping. An American who works with us has his whole family living here. His son and daughter also attend local high school.
We work five days in a week. We go to the store at 9 o'clock. We eat at noon and come home at 5 p.m. Before going to sleep, I like to watch TV a bit and read some books in Chinese. On Sundays, when it's not hot, I go out with my little dog. When it rains, I call my friends to go drink tea at the tearoom.
