I always say that I love metro systems and I hate taking buses. When I lived in Hangzhou there was only one metro line so buses were usually the only option. I had a friend who would just hop on a bus and ride around until she got to a place that she recognized. Sometimes she would literally just sit and ride the bus for two hours to see where it goes! It was crazy. She didn\u2019t speak Chinese so she had a hard time figuring out what to do. You can figure out buses much more quickly by learning the words in this HSK level 2 reading practice. <\/p>\n<p>As you probably already know, the first two HSK levels have 150 characters each. If you learned around 10 characters a day that means that you could learn them all in 2 weeks! That\u2019s pretty amazing. In order to make those characters useful you\u2019ll need to combine them together in sentences and then really begin to understand what they mean. That\u2019s why encourage so much reading practice, so you can understand context and how to actually use the words you know. You\u2019ll also learn more words that are frequently used which will help you naturally expand your vocabulary<\/p>\n<h2>Reading Practice<\/h2>\n<p>After trying out the sentences, follow the links at the bottom of the page to view the full lessons. <\/p>\n\n\n<div data-du-interactive=\"544a7b653\" class=\"wp-block-du-interactive-example\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-du-interactive=\"c5f553399\" class=\"wp-block-du-interactive-example\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-du-interactive=\"632b2bd8a\" class=\"wp-block-du-interactive-example\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p>To read the entire lesson you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duchinese.net\/lessons\/610-bus-to-the-library\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like another HSK 2 level reading practice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duchinese.net\/lessons\/534-looking-at-your-phone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">try this lesson<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Take your Chinese reading skills to the next level using our app:<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"store-link col-xs-12 col-sm-6 text-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/du-chinese\/id1052961520?ls=1&amp;mt=8\" onclick=\"trackOutboundLink('https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/du-chinese\/id1052961520?ls=1&amp;mt=8')\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Download on the App Store\" src=\"\/images\/appstore-logo-large.png\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"store-link col-xs-12 col-sm-6 text-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=org.sinamon.duchinese&amp;referrer=utm_source%3Dduchinese\" onclick=\"trackOutboundLink('https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=org.sinamon.duchinese&amp;referrer=utm_source%3Dduchinese')\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Get it on Google Play\" src=\"\/images\/googleplay-logo.png\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting around in China is not always easy.
