Zicong or cong starts from a point: since graduating, I have been in Beijing. Wei plus a person names a beneficiary: mum cooked dinner for me. Dui plus a person plus eryan gives a perspective: for students, this course is hard.
Baokuo followed by zainei means including: ten people, including me. Ping names the basis or credential justifying an action: enter with a ticket. Keep inclusion separate from the credential needed to do something.
Four more prepositions. Zhiyu shifts to a new topic: zhiyu feiyong, women zai taolun, as for the cost we''ll discuss it later. Jiu dot dot dot laishuo means speaking of or in terms of: jiu jingyan laishuo, ta he shihe, in terms of experience he''s the best fit. Chen says do it while the condition lasts: chen nianqing duo xue dian, learn more while you''re young. The condition won''t last forever.
Pause and check both. First, ping names the credential or basis that justifies the action: a ticket justifies entering. Second, chen says do it now because the condition is temporary: being young won''t last, so learn now. The handout answers walk through all the practice items across both parts.
