笑 (xiào) and 哭 (kū) sit on the same HSK 3 worksheet — two characters for opposite emotions, just one page apart. This free printable worksheet helps HSK 3 learners practice writing Chinese characters for expressing feelings and staying in touch by hand.
The Talking About Feelings worksheet covers 12 HSK 3 vocabulary words drawn from the Communication & Feelings theme — words for saying how you feel and staying in touch. You'll trace characters like 说话 (shuō huà), 告诉 (gào sù), 高兴 (gāo xìng), 生气 (shēng qì), 感觉 (gǎn jué), and 心情 (xīn qíng). Each word sits inside a 田字格 (tián zì gé) tracing grid with pinyin printed above it.
Start by tracing the guided strokes for each character, feeling the stroke order as you go. Then move to the blank grids and write each character from memory — no tracing lines to lean on. Say each word aloud as you write it: 说话 (shuō huà), 告诉 (gào sù), 高兴 (gāo xìng). Connecting sound, meaning, and hand movement is what makes characters stick.

The words come from the HSK 3.0 vocabulary lists and match SayMei's course weeks, so the worksheet pairs naturally with our HSK 3 lessons hub page.
