Feedback from my student

I have taught a student from Vietnam who worked in an import and export logistic company. She is very good at speaking Chinese and she has no trouble recognize the characters. I have taught her for almost 2 years. One thing she felt very good about my teaching method is that she felt very comfortable and rewarding when I gave positive feedback about her homework. No matter it's in oral or written form. 

Positive feedback matters a lot for students!

How to translate “actually” depends on usage Qíshí 其实, “actually,” and quèshí 确实, “indeed,” are used in positive statements: That person is actually Japanese. Nàge rén qíshí shì Rìběn rén. 那个人其实是日本人。 That person is indeed Japanese! Nàge rén quèshí shì Rìběn rén. 那个人确实是日本人。 Bìng bù 并不 . . . , meaning “actually NOT” (contrary to expectations or a previous argument), is therefore always used in the negative: That person is actually NOT Japanese, he’s Chinese. Nàge rén bìng búshì Rìběn rén, tā shì Zhōngguó rén. 那个人并不是日本人，他是中国人。 For the past tense, bìng bù . . . becomes bìng méi(yǒu) . . . for “actually didn’t”: He stayed in Beijing for seven days, but he actually didn’t even eat one meal of Chinese food! Tā zài Běijīng zhùle qītiān, dànshi tā bìng méi(yǒu) chī yídùn Zhōngguó fàn! 他在北京住了七天，但是他并没 (有) 吃一顿中国饭。Negative comparisons: A is not as [adjective] as B To express “A doesn’t have B’s ___” (can be a positive or negative attribute), use A méiyǒu 没有 B (nàme 那么) ____: I’m not as good-looking as you are. Wǒ méiyǒu nǐ (nàme) hǎokàn. 我没有你 (那么) 好看。 You’re not as fat as I am. Nǐ méiyǒu wǒ (nàme) pàng. 你没有我 (那么) 胖。 To express “A can’t compare to B’s ____” (always refers to a positive attribute and is a bit more formal), use A bùrú 不如 B (nàme 那么) ____ : I’m not as smart as you. Wǒ bùrú nǐ cōngmíng. 我不如你聪明。China's GDP up 3.2% in Q2 2020, economic growth turned positive in the second quarter.

On a quarterly basis, it fell 6.8% in the first quarter and grew 3.2% in the second. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, the second quarter's GDP grew by 11.5%. (Official website of National Bureau of Statistics) 【2020二季度GDP增长3.2% 二季度经济增长由负转正】 初步核算，上半年国内生产总值456614亿元，按可比价格计算，2020上半年GDP同比下降1.6%。 分季度看，一季度同比下降6.8%，二季度增长3.2%。从环比看，二季度国内生产总值增长11.5%。（国家统计局官网）Comparisons: A bǐ 比 B Positive comparisons: How to say something or someone is more ___ than something or someone else, as in smaller, cheaper, faster, etc.: A “compared to” B is ___ A bǐ 比 B [adjective] or [verb clause] Japan is smaller than China.

Fēijī bǐ huǒchē kuài, kěshi bǐ huǒchē guì. 飞机比火车快，可是比火车贵。 Literally: Planes compared to trains are fast, but compared to trains are expensive. It is incorrect to substitute bǐjiào 比较 for bǐ 比 in these cases; bǐjiào 比较 means “relatively,” not “compared to. . . ”: That chair is relatively expensive. How about buying this chair? Nèi bǎ yǐzi bǐjiào guì, nǐ mǎi zhèi bǎ yǐzi ba. 那把椅子比较贵，你买这把椅子吧。 much more or much less . . . A 比 B + adjective + 多了/得多 To indicate degree of comparison, i.e. “much more . . . ” or “a little more . . . ,” add de duō 得多 or duō le 多了 after the adjective or verb clause for “much more. . . .” NOTE: hěn 很 CANNOT be used in comparisons! Cars are much faster than bicycles. ✔ CC: Qìchē bǐ zìxíngchē kuài de duō (or kuài duō le). 汽车比自行车快得多 (快多了)。 ✖ BC: Qìchē bǐ zìxíngchē hěn kuài. 汽车比自行车很快。 Add yìdiǎn(r) 一点/一点儿 after the adjective or verb clause to express “a little more . . . ”: a little more . . . ; a little less . . . A bǐ 比 B + adjective + yidian(r) The U.S. is a little bigger than China. Měiguó bǐ Zhōngguó dà yìdiǎn(r). 美国比中国大一点 (儿)。 Note: Bǐ 比 cannot be used in sentences with yíyàng 一样 (same) or with bùyíyàng 不一样 (not the same). Instead, use gēn 跟 or hé 和. After all, in English we don’t say, “Some Japanese customs compared to some Chinese customs are/aren’t the same,” but rather, “Some Japanese customs AND some Chinese customs are/aren’t the same”: Some Japanese customs are the same as (some) Chinese customs. Yǒude Rìběn fēngsú xíguàn gēn Zhōngguó de fēngsú xíguàn yíyàng. 有的日本风俗习惯跟中国的风俗习惯一样。 Literally: Some Japanese customs and (some) Chinese customs are the same.
