Tenses Practice✍️
The only way to learn the tenses is by doing it over and over and over again, so here you go! Good luck!
Can’t remember how to make the tenses? click here
how to learn new content and never forget it
save this for your next academic year and finals, and it’ll save your grades and time.
1. whenever you read a paragraph with new content, close the book/look away and ask yourself: “what have i just learned?” explaining the concept to yourself right away and asking follow-up questions will change the way you retain new material forever.
2. at first, it’ll be daunting, and it’ll be pretty hard to actually bring yourself to do this. trust me, it’ll be worth it - as this is scientifically proven one of the most effective study techniques.
3. to try this out, set yourself a timer for how long you estimate learning a concept might take. now take away 20% from that estimate. you won’t be able to reach this goal with basic highlighting and re-reading techniques - but with active recall, you will.
4. once you’ve understood the concept, use spaced repetition systems like anki flashcards to force yourself to retrieve this information in a set period of time. this way, your brain will always be reminded of this concept before it could possibly forget it.
5. teach it to others as much as you can. as with the old wisdom “see one, do one, teach one”, one of the only guarantees you’ve really gotten something is when you can effectively teach it.
hope these are helpful for you!!

STRAJK KOBIET [🇵🇱 🇬🇧 🇨🇳 ] ⚡️
Hello Studybuddies! I want to talk about one very important issue in Poland. Our studyblr community is full of Polish people and I want you to know, why some part of our community is angry and post many things about one certain issue.
Why graphics in Chinese? Personally I learn Chinese and I want to talk about many issues with my friends from China. Now I want them to know and understand what is happening in my country! And I know plenty of you learn Chinese as well! So I guess for some of you this post might be also useful if it comes to learning the language.

“When did I become I and the body? When did the two of us separate?”
Madmen, Aditi Nagrath
it’s almost november, which means it’s that time of the school year. it’s getting darker sooner, assignments are piling up, and a lot of my classmates are feeling exhausted. that is exacerbated by covid-19, personal stressors, and other factors that affect each of us differently.
as someone with high-functioning depression, i am well-acquainted with experiencing cycles of good and bad days, so i decided to write this little post of things that help me. (i hope these are helpful, but they may not work for everyone. you know yourself best.)
1. identify and acknowledge your feelings.
the first step is to sit with yourself a while and identify your emotions. it’s important to understand how you’re feeling and pinpoint a reason why, because emotions that are pushed down don’t just disappear. you don’t have to do deep soul-searching, and you don’t have to try and change your emotions right now. just get in touch with how you feel.
i like to tell myself “you’re feeling _____. that is okay and valid. you’re probably feeling like this because of _____.”
2. prioritize what you need to get done
okay, this one might be the hardest. i know it’s difficult to think about your to-do list when you might just want to sleep, but future you will be grateful that you at least made a dent in your work. think about what you need to do vs. what you should do. start the necessary items first, and don’t feel bad about skipping the less important ones.
for example: let’s say i needed to write an essay, do two readings, attend two zoom classes, take an online quiz, and attend two meetings. i might instead find a few sources for my essay, do one of the readings, attend the classes with my mic and camera off, skip the non-vital meeting, and attend the second meeting.
it’s mostly about modifying your schedule to be as non-taxing as possible.
3. give yourself extra time & comfort
don’t expect yourself to function exactly as you do when you’re feeling great. if possible, let yourself wake up slowly. do what you need to be comfortable as you start your day. listen to a lovely playlist, wear a hoodie & sweats, place a stuffed animal at your desk, turn on your fairy lights, etc.
this is why it’s important to cut back on your to-do list - completing tasks will take you longer. it is okay if things take you longer today. it has no bearing on your worth as a person or a student. resist the temptation to do everything just to prove to yourself that you can push past your own discomfort and need for rest.
4. let someone know how you feel
you don’t need to get specific if you don’t want to, but you should probably let a friend or loved one know how you feel.
a simple “hey, i’m not feeling great today, so if i act off that’s probably why” or "i’m feeling kind of down today so i might not [insert activity or behavior]” will help you be honest and keep the people close to you in the loop.
i had a bad habit of not telling people when i’m having a bad day and then getting annoyed when they act like everything’s normal! the truth is, they don’t know what you don’t tell them. who knows, maybe there’s something they can do to take some of the weight off your shoulders!
5. view your situation as if you were someone else
this one might sound a little odd, so bear with me. imagine that your friend, parent, sibling, partner, etc. were feeling the same way you are right now. what would you advise them to do? would you encourage them to take the time they need today? would you try to help them through it?
then do the same for yourself. it’s easy to think that other people are different, that they maybe have fewer bad days and therefore are “better,” that they don’t need to push their feelings down like you do. that is false!! try to identify three things that you would recommend a loved one do when they’re feeling down, and then apply those to your situation.
6. know that this feeling is temporary
you will not feel like this forever. it is hard to truly believe that when it feels like life will not get better, but i am here to tell you that it does. get. better. this summer was the worst of my life (no exaggeration - my mental health was at rock bottom), and while i still have bad days, i can confidently say that you will move past this.
lastly, here is a website i think has some good advice - it takes into account that we all have varied needs. it’s written for people with depression but honestly is mostly applicable to everyone. just do what works for you <3

语法 yǔfǎ Grammar
Greeting others
When greeting others, you must address the person first then say the greeting.

Basic Sentence Structure
Like English, Mandarin has a Subject-Verb-Object sentence structure.
他是老师。
He is a teacher
我是学生。
I am a student
When asking a question, you usually can replace a word with the necessary question word.
她是谁？
Who is she?
她是金老师。
She’s Teacher Jin.
你叫什么名字？
What is your name? (literally You are called what name)
我叫雅玲。
My name is Yaling (literally I am called Yaling)
吗 is used to ask a yes-no question
你是老师吗？
Are you a teacher?
我是老师 OR 我不是老师
I am a teacher OR I am not a teacher
呢 ne
If someone asks you a question, you can use 呢 ne at the end of a sentence to make it interrogative. In many cases it functions the same way as “how about…?” in English.
你好吗？
How are you?
我很好，你呢？
I’m well, and you?
so this is it for the second basic mandarin post. i would appreciate any feedback that you have. thanks, and i hope this helps!!
