Beginner speaking — two-clause sentences and “why” questions

Seventeen minutes of speaking in two parts, for the sitting after the first beginner set. The sentences to repeat now run to two clauses (今天是星期六,我不用上课), so you have to hold a phrase in your head rather than echo a few syllables; and the questions ask for a reason or a description — why you like a dish, how you travelled here, tell us about your family — instead of a single fact. Every prompt is original HSK Guide material. This is not an official paper, the timings are HSK Guide’s own practice settings, and the model answers are one good version among many.

Unofficial practice material

This is unofficial practice material written for HSK Guide. It is not a past paper and is not endorsed by any examination authority.The section lengths, the timings and the scoring below are HSK Guide’s own practice settings, chosen so that a wrong answer points at one identifiable skill. They do not describe any examination authority’s rules — confirm those with your test centre.

Sections

What the paper contains

2 sections, 10 questions, 17 minutes of section time.

  1. Part 1 — Listen and repeat

    Speaking7 minutes5 questions5 total score

    You will hear five sentences. In this practice section each one plays once; repeat it as closely as you can, keeping the tones and the pauses. Say the whole sentence even if one syllable escapes you — an unfinished repetition costs more than a slightly wrong tone.

    Audio rules for this section

    • 1 play remaining
    • Seeking is disabled in examination mode
    • Pausing is disabled
  2. Part 2 — Answering questions

    Speaking10 minutes5 questions5 total score

    Five everyday questions. Answer each one aloud with a full sentence — two if you can — reusing the words of the question. A single word is understandable but counts as an incomplete answer in this practice; the model answers show the length to aim for.

Questions, options and answers are not shown on this page — the paper is only meaningful if you meet it for the first time inside the timer.

Before you start

Timing, audio and how the run is protected

Timed

The timer runs on the server, so refreshing will not give you extra time. Listening audio plays a fixed number of times, as set for this practice paper.

Total: 17 minutes.

Learning mode

No timer. Audio can be replayed freely and answers are explained immediately.

Audio

  • Part 1 — Listen and repeat: plays once · no seeking · no pausing

The play count and the seek and pause rules are stored on each section rather than hard-coded in the player, so an editor can change them without a deployment.

Saved

  • Answers autosave as you go — a refresh or a dropped connection loses nothing.
  • The deadline lives on the server, so the client clock is never trusted.
  • You can flag a question and come back to it while section time remains.

Your result

What you get when you submit

A score is the least useful part of a mock examination. The report is built to change what you study tomorrow.

By section

A score per section and per skill, so a listening problem cannot hide behind a good reading result.

Accuracy by question type

Accuracy broken down by question type — matching, cloze, ordering, true/false — because they fail for different reasons.

Vocabulary gaps

The exact words the wrong answers tested, taken from the diagnostic tags on each question.

Grammar gaps

The patterns behind the wrong answers, each linking straight to its grammar lesson.

Time per question

Where you stalled. A slow correct answer is a different problem from a fast wrong one.

Readiness estimate

An estimate against your target level, built from coverage, recall strength and recent results.
