A friend texts asking what you want from the local Chinese bakery, and you'd love to reply with more than just emojis. This free printable HSK 1 worksheet covers twelve food, drink, and preference words so you can practice writing them by hand. Every word comes from the HSK 3.0 vocabulary lists and matches SayMei's course weeks, so it lines up with what you're already studying in the HSK 1 lessons hub page.
The page centers on everyday eating and drinking. You'll trace and write 吃 (chī) and 喝 (hē) — the verbs for eating and drinking — along with 茶 (chá) and 水 (shuǐ) for tea and water, plus words for everyday items like milk, rice, bread, eggs, meat, and fruit. It also includes 喜欢 (xǐ huān) to say what you like and 好吃 (hǎo chī) to say something tastes good. All twelve terms appear in the word table below.
Each word sits inside 田字格 (tián zì gé) tracing grids with pinyin printed above. Start by tracing the guided strokes to build muscle memory, then write each character from memory in the blank grids that follow. Saying the word aloud as you write reinforces the connection between sound and shape. You can print the page directly or download it as a PDF — no signup needed. If you want extra space for repeated practice, grab the blank printable 田字格 writing grid paper as well.
