Talking about food at HSK 6 means moving past "delicious" into flavor and nutrition. The sheet starts in the kitchen with 醋 (cù, vinegar), 酱油 (jiàngyóu, soy sauce), and 辣椒 (làjiāo, chili pepper). Then it turns to how food tastes and what it does for you: 清淡 (qīngdàn, light in flavor), 食欲 (shíyù, appetite), and 维生素 (wéishēngsù, vitamin). Pinyin sits above every word, followed by 田字格 (tián zì gé) grids for tracing and free writing. Print it at home or keep the PDF on your tablet. Next time you cook, read the labels on your bottles aloud in Chinese. Words on this worksheet: 醋 (cù) — vinegar; 酱油 (jiàngyóu) — soy sauce; 辣椒 (là jiāo) — hot pepper; 粥 (zhōu) — porridge; 香肠 (xiāngcháng) — sausage; 面粉 (miàn fěn) — flour; 口感 (kǒu gǎn) — mouthfeel; 清淡 (qīng dàn) — light (of food, not greasy or strongly flavored); 食欲 (shí yù) — appetite; 维生素 (wéishēngsù) — vitamin; 蛋白质 (dàn bái zhì) — protein; 脂肪 (zhī fáng) — fat (in the body, in a plant, or in food).

How should I practice with this worksheet?
Trace the gray guides first, saying each word aloud, then cover the model and write the characters from memory in the blank boxes. Scan the sheet's QR code or open the Practice tab to watch each stroke animate, trace it, then recall it without a guide. Revisit missed words a day or two later.
