Don't worry, I won't try to steal you away from her or vice versa ;-) Chinese is a language that could only be mastered if you expose yourself to different accents and expressions, as well as regular practices, a relevant study environment and learning context, which is why I think when you have some time, you should give ChineseTeachers.com a try. It might not be the most relevant to you while you are in Shanghai, but once you leave China, it could be a good way for you to keep up with the language.

My problem is always that: not that I answer wrong, but that I think too much and then I dont have the time to finish. By HSK standards, I should have done your exercise in like 2 minutes maximum. Thanks a lot. I would like to study with you if I didn't have already a super-teacher... :) Hmm, you are right.

The questions are designed to make you doubt your answers, e.g. was it 2 & 3 you thought could be swapped? There is ALWAYS a 'best fit', which determines your accuracy in understanding the words, and your fluency with different expressions. You need to work on timing (practice with a timer is a good idea)and when in doubt, use rules of elimination and trust your gut feelings and common sense. 滿分!

I will try it a bit more when I am done with the exam. Are you a friend of Fu Laoshi or you just know me through the internet? I clarify for the curious friend who asked: not all of the exercises in the HSK have political content, actually it is only a tiny part that shows once in a while. I suppose among all the material they have to draw texts there are some official panphlets. In any case, the answers should be correct linguistically, not politically, I have updated the example to make it less 夸张. By the way Sheila, nice website for learning Chinese.
