Pattern: `A ……，B 也 ……`
`也` shows that another person or another thing is the same.
A ……，B 也 ……
Use `也` when a second person or thing is the same as the first one. `小林想去西安，我也想去西安` means Xiao Lin wants to go to Xi’an, and I want the same thing.
小林想去西安，我也想去西安。
Xiao Lin wants to go to Xi’an, and I also want to go to Xi’an.
小林去机场，小方也去机场。
Xiao Lin is going to the airport, and Xiao Fang is also going.
我住在学校，小方也住在学校。
I live at school, and Xiao Fang also lives at school.
5
Quick Practice
Choose the correct position of `也`.
Xiao Lin wants to go to Xi’an. Which sentence says I want the same thing?
Choose the sentence where `也` shows the same wish as another person.
6
Pattern: `……，还 ……`
`还` often means there is one more thing in addition to what was said before.
……，还 ……
`也` and `还` can both be close to also, but the focus is different. `也` stresses the same action or state as another person or thing. `还` stresses one more item from the same speaker, such as one more place, hobby, or ability.
我想去北京，还想去西安。
I want to go to Beijing, and also to Xi’an.
我爱喝茶，还爱读书。
I love drinking tea, and I also love reading.
他会听中文，还会说中文。
He can understand Chinese and can also speak Chinese.
7
Quick Practice
Practice using `还` to connect another plan.
You already said you want to go to Beijing. Which sentence adds one more place, Xi’an?
Choose the sentence where `还` adds another plan from the same speaker.
8
Learning Note
Say the place, time, and pickup arrangement as a complete plan.
For an airport arrangement, you can say the meeting place first, then the time and what you will do. The proper name `大兴机场` can be read directly as a place.
大兴机场见！
See you at Daxing Airport!
下午三点见。
See you at three in the afternoon.
我们去机场接朋友。
We are going to the airport to pick up a friend.
我们学习一个小时，再去机场。
We study for one hour, then go to the airport.
9
Core Words
These words can appear in travel and everyday preference topics. First learn to recognize and read them.
去年
last year
好玩儿
fun; interesting
爱
to love; to like a lot
10
Learning Note
Keep these as light recognition only, without adding burden to the main lesson thread.
`去年` and `好玩儿` can be read together with words already learned, such as `北京` and `这里`. They are not the core of this airport dialogue.
去年我去了北京。
Last year I went to Beijing.
这里很好玩儿。
This place is fun.
11
Learning Note
Use `也 / 还` and airport words to complete the final HSK1 read-aloud practice.
Repeat the two sentence groups first, then replace Beijing and Xi’an with a city you want to visit. You can say the city name in Chinese or English first; it does not affect the pattern practice.
你今年想去哪儿？我想去北京，还想去西安。
Where do you want to go this year? I want to go to Beijing, and also Xi’an.
一个朋友坐飞机来北京。我们去机场接他。
A friend is coming to Beijing by plane. We are going to the airport to pick him up.
