Starting a new job in a Mandarin-speaking workplace means you'll need to talk about your desk, your computer, your phone, and your daily schedule. This free printable worksheet gives HSK 1 learners guided handwriting practice with ten office-themed words, so you can write them confidently from memory after tracing each stroke.
The worksheet covers vocabulary from the HSK 3.0 word lists, themed around starting a job. You'll practice writing 工作 (gōng zuò, work), 上班 (shàng bān, to go to work), 下班 (xià bān, to get off work), 电脑 (diàn nǎo, computer), 电话 (diàn huà, phone), and 桌子 (zhuō zi, desk), plus four more words for talking about being busy, money, time, and shifts. Each word appears in a 田字格 (tián zì gé) tracing grid with pinyin printed above it.
Start by tracing the guided strokes inside each grid to build muscle memory for stroke order and proportion. Then cover the guided version and write each character from memory in the blank grids below. Saying each word aloud as you write reinforces the connection between sound, meaning, and shape. Repeat the trace-then-write cycle for each word until your strokes feel natural and balanced within the grid. You can print the page directly or download it as a PDF — no signup needed.
These words align with SayMei's HSK 1 course weeks, so you can pair them with HSK 1 lessons for speaking and listening practice. When you're ready for more themes, try the printable "Travel & Getting Around" worksheet or the "Screens & Free Time" worksheet. For extra practice space, grab blank printable 田字格 writing grid paper.
