| Let's practice. |
| Imagine you're Wei Wang, Mark's colleague. Ask how Mark is doing. |
| Ready? |
| 你好吗？(Nǐ hǎo ma？) |
| 我一般般。 (Wǒ yì bān bān.) |
| Listen again and repeat. |
| 你好吗？(Nǐ hǎo ma？) |
| 你好吗？(Nǐ hǎo ma？) |
| Let's try another. |
| Imagine you're Mark Lee, and you meet your boss at work. Ask about your boss's well being using formal Chinese. |
| Ready? |
| 您好吗？(Nín hǎo ma？) |
| 我很好。(Wǒ hěn hǎo.) |
| Listen again and repeat. |
| 您好吗？(Nín hǎo ma？) |
| 您好吗？(Nín hǎo ma？) |
| Let's try one more. |
| Imagine you're Sasha, and you meet your friend at school. Respond by saying "I'm good. And you?" |
| Ready? |
| 你好吗？ (Nǐ hǎo ma？) |
| 很好。你呢？ (Hěn hǎo. Nǐ ne?) |
| Listen again and repeat. |
| 很好。你呢？ (Hěn hǎo. Nǐ ne?) |
| 很好。你呢？ (Hěn hǎo. Nǐ ne?) |
| The phrases you learned in this lesson are an important part of your language learning journey. However, as mentioned above, these phrases are often used with someone you haven't met in a while to show your concern about their well-being. |
| When seeing a friend you meet often, you might just use a simple greeting. |
| Then you would follow that with a question related to small talk, such as "Did you eat?" |
| 吃了吗？(Chī le ma?) |
| This is the end of this lesson. |
| Remember, these Can Do lessons are about learning practical language skills. |
| What's next? |
| Show us what you can do. |
| When you're ready, take your assessment. |
| You can take it again and again, so try anytime you like. |
