A useful situation
- Your goal: Ask what someone wants to eat and drink.
- Before you start, recall the words you already know. New words below are here to help, not a list you must master before continuing.
Words you will use
- eat吃 chī — eat. I / me我would like to想to have a meal吃饭。

Match each word with its meaning in this unit.
Use the example sentences to check each word’s meaning in context.
Build the meaning
- would like to想eat吃 says what someone would like to eat. at / in在eat吃 describes eating in progress. Compare I / me我would like to想eat吃dumplings饺子 and I / me我at / in在eat吃dumplings饺子.
- Ask eat吃what什么 or drink喝what什么 for the missing food or drink; reply with that information rather than a bare yes.
I / me我would like to想eat吃 means I want to eat, not I am eating now. Do not treat wanting and ongoing action as the same.
Complete “What would you like to eat?”: 你想吃____？
什么 asks for the food.
Listen for a fresh detail
- Listen before revealing the script.
- Replay if you need to. This is practice: if playback is unavailable, use the script as reading and return to listening on a device with Mandarin playback.

Speak, write, and review
- Ask a partner what they want to eat and drink. Repeat their choices to check you understood.
- Record yourself privately or work with a partner. First try without the model, then compare the meaning and structure; a text checker cannot assess your pronunciation.
A: you你would like to想eat吃what什么？ B: I / me我would like to想eat吃(cooked) rice米饭。 A: drink喝what什么？ B: water水。
- Write a lunch choice: one food and one drink. Then state the place you eat.
- Tomorrow, recall two words and repeat the task with one detail changed. Revisit it after a few days; return sooner to the part that felt difficult.
Ask what someone wants to eat and drink. Use the examples as support, then try a fresh version. Completing these exercises records practice, not a guarantee of mastery.
