🎧 Listening: Mastering Keywords & Logical Traps
The HSK 4 Listening section (H41009) requires you to quickly grasp the main idea and distinguish it from similar-sounding but incorrect information. You need to be aware of common logical traps, which we break down in the trap analysis below.
Common Trap Analysis (H41009)
| Trap Type | Explanation | Example from Test |
|---|---|---|
| Direct Contradiction | The statement directly opposes what is said in the audio. | Q9: Audio says "我还是更愿意去电影院看" (I still prefer to go to the cinema), but the statement is "他喜欢在电脑上看电影" (He likes to watch movies on the computer). → False (✗) |
| Partial Information | An option uses keywords from the audio but twists the meaning. | Q24: The woman assumes the man is "写信" (writing a letter), but he clarifies he's "写我的日记" (writing my diary). The question asks what the woman *thought* he was doing. → B (写信). |
| Logical Inference | The answer isn't explicitly stated but is a logical conclusion. | Q22: The man says his granddaughter "又开始咳嗽了" (started coughing again) and he's taking her to the hospital. You can infer: C (感冒还没好 - The cold hasn't gotten better yet). |

Core Vocabulary Deep-Dive
🔍 Confusable Adverbs: 本来 (běnlái) vs. 原来 (yuánlái)
本来 (běnlái): Means "originally" or "at first," implying a situation has changed. It often appears at the beginning of a sentence.
Example (Q4): 我本来打算周六去... (I originally planned to go on Saturday...), but the plan was postponed.
原来 (yuánlái): Can also mean "originally," but more often expresses a sudden realization ("so it turns out...").
Example (Q28): 原来是这样 (So that's how it is / I see), used when the speaker understands why the man wanted to study acting.

✍️ Writing: Precise Grammar & Sentence Patterns
Common Grammar Error Prediction
| Grammar Point (Example) | Correct Sentence | ⚠️ Common Error |
|---|---|---|

| Degree Complement 得 (de) (Q86) | 她们俩聊得非常愉快。 | ❌ 她们俩聊非常愉快。(The particle '得' is required to link a verb to its description) |
| Result Complements (Q96) | 那棵树的叶子掉光了。(The leaves have all fallen off) | ❌ 那棵树的叶子掉了光。(The complement must directly follow the verb) |
✍️ "Your Turn" Interactive Practice
97. 来不及 (láibují) - 来不及了，快点儿跑。 (There's no time, run faster!)
Your Task: Use its opposite, 来得及 (láidejí) (there is still time), to make a sentence about catching a train.
(e.g., 别担心，现在出发还来得及。 - Don't worry, if we leave now there's still time.)
98. 吃惊 (chījīng) - 这个消息真让人吃惊! (This news is really surprising!)
Your Task: Create a sentence explaining *why* you are surprised.
(e.g., 他竟然会说中文，让我很吃惊。 - The fact he can speak Chinese really surprised me.)
💡 Exam Strategy & Mental Prep
Listening: "Scan the Options First"
Use the few seconds before each audio clip to quickly read the A, B, C, and D options. This helps you predict the topic and listen for specific keywords, which is much more effective than trying to understand every single word.
Reading: "Sentence Order Logic"
For arranging sentences (Part 2), first look for the topic sentence (often the most general one). Then, find logical connectors like '但是', '所以', '另外' to link the other sentences together. For example, in Q58, the topic is '跟别人说话的时候' (When talking to others).
Mental Prep: Don't Get Stuck!
The listening section is played only once. If you miss an answer, let it go immediately. Do not dwell on it, or you will lose focus and miss the next question. Every new question is a fresh start. A clear mind is your most powerful tool.
