大家好☀️
This post comes with a recap of Poll Quizzes, week 13 (June 25 – June 30, 2018).
❗️Pay attention how this week we’ve practiced the grammar structure [Place] + 里 + 有 + … (There are …. in [a place])！
For your convenience, correct answers are marked as ✅, and wrong as ❌.
1. What’s going on at this 咖啡馆?
咖啡馆里也有人…
Kāfēiguǎn lǐ yě yǒu rén…
✅ 看球 kàn qiú – watching football
❌ 踢球 tī qiú – playing football
“咖啡馆里也有人看球 Kāfēiguǎn lǐ yě yǒu rén kàn qiú” (“There are people watching football at the coffee shop, too”) was the right answer to this Monday’s story. Well done, 87% (1125👤) of you who chose “watch ball” instead of “kick ball”!
2. What’s up at this 公园?
虽然天气很热，但是 …… 里还是有人跳舞
Suīrán tiānqì hěn rè, dànshì … lǐ háishì yǒu rén tiàowǔ
✅ 公园 gōngyuán – park
❌ 酒吧 jiǔbā – bar
“虽然天气很热，但是公园里还是有人跳舞 Suīrán tiānqì hěn rè, dànshì gōngyuán lǐ háishì yǒu rén tiàowǔ” (Even though the weather is hot, there are still people dancing in the park) was indeed the correct answer, as 93% of you (1182👤) have chosen. Well done!
It was scorching that day, but locals didn’t care☀️
3. What’s happening in my house?
我家里突然发现一只…
Wǒ jiālǐ túrán fāxiàn yī zhǐ…
❌ 老鼠 lǎoshǔ – mouse
✅ 恐龙 kǒnglóng – dinosaur
“我家里突然发现一只恐龙 Wǒ jiālǐ túrán fāxiàn yī zhǐ kǒnglóng” was the correct answer to this poll, and most of you – 78% (930👤) – nailed it!
We haven’t had any of these words before, and I was happy we found a way to practice them! By the way, this video was made via an app called Placer Cam😉
4. What’s going on in the street?
他在…
Tā zài…
❌ 睡觉 shuì jiào – sleeping
✅ 玩手机 wán shǒujī – in/on his phone
“他在叫外卖 Tā zài wán shǒujī” (He is in his phone) was the right answer to this poll, as only 30% (379👤) of you have guessed right!
We’ve had guys sleeping and having a rest in our Stories before, but this 外卖 delivery guy took afternoon rest to a new level. He was just watching some TV series on his phone – in the middle of a busy street 🙂
5. What’s up in town?
她们都喜欢穿 … 的鞋子
Tāmen dōu xǐhuān chuān… de xiézi
❌ 紫色 zǐsè – purple (this week’s word)
✅ 红色 hóngsè – to get beaten
“她们都喜欢穿红色的鞋子 Tāmen dōu xǐhuān chuān hóngsè de xiézi” (They all like to wear red shoes) was the answer to this poll – and 77% (902👤) of you have guessed it right!
This was just a quick check on how well you remembered the word 紫色 from this week. And a glimpse of how locals dress their beloved pets! By the way, I think they put these shoes on for a reason – the pavement is scorchingly hot these days🔥
I hope you’re enjoiying taking part in these stories as much as my friends and I enjoy producing them!
