Conversation
There are several new words in this lesson. I brought a pen, paper and a notebook. What should I note first?
Look at the words on the board first, then use a dictionary. A character dictionary covers individual characters; a word dictionary also covers whole words.
I found its pronunciation: two syllables. Is noting only its meaning enough?
Read an example sentence and write one yourself. Do not copy somebody else's whole article; note what you really need to learn.
