🎧 HSK1 H10901 Listening – Section 2
(第二部分:对话理解)
🔹 Introduction (What this section is)
-
You will hear short dialogues (usually 2 lines: Man + Woman).
-
Each dialogue is played twice.
-
You must choose the correct picture or written option based on the dialogue.
-
The key is to understand the main idea, not every word.
✅ How to Do the Exam (Step-by-Step)
-
Read the options first (pictures or text) before the audio starts.
-
While listening, focus on key words: place, number, money, action.
-
Ignore unknown words; HSK1 answers depend on one clear clue.
-
Listen again to confirm, not to re-translate.
-
Mark the answer that directly matches the dialogue, not your guess.

🎧 HSK1 Listening – Section 3
(第三部分:听句子,回答问题)
🔹 Integrated Exam Tip (Very Important)
In HSK1, the answer options have pinyin written on top.
This means you do not need to read all Chinese characters.
While listening, match the sound you hear directly with the pinyin you see.
Focus especially on question words like shéi, shénme, shénme shíhou, duōshǎo, zěnmeyàng.
Use the second listening only to confirm the pinyin match, not to translate.
👉 Sound → Pinyin → Correct Answer
✅ How to Do Listening Section 3 Correctly
-
Listen to the full sentence once (context).
-
Listen carefully to the question (this gives the answer type).
-
Look at the pinyin above the options and match the sound.
-
Ignore extra words that are not asked in the question.
-
Mark the option that answers the question exactly.
