HSK 5 reading and writing:35 questions and 2 writing tasks
Practise 35 original reading items and two open writing tasks without signing in. The 10 cloze +10 paragraph-order positions +15 passage questions match the reading task counts in the checked HSK 3.0 level 5 sample. Writing includes a four-picture story and a topic composition.
Reading and writing sections, with teaching feedback
This is not a complete 72-item written paper: listening and the separate speaking component are not included. Original passages, story diagrams and feedback are MandarinGo’s teaching design. We report practice accuracy for reading positions, not official exam points or pass/fail.
Try each section before opening the explanations. In paragraph ordering, each of the five letters must be used once in its group. Writing references show possible answers, not exclusive model texts. This learning mode has no countdown.

Writing: a four-picture story and a topic composition
Write before reading the reference. W01 asks for at least 100 Chinese characters; W02 asks for at least 200. The illustrations are original diagrams with text descriptions for accessibility.
W01. A lost notebook: tell the four-picture story
Use all four pictures, in the order shown, to write a connected story of at least 100 Chinese characters. You may add plausible details, but keep the notebook’s journey and the people’s roles consistent.

周日下午,小安在公园的长椅上看完笔记,起身时接到了朋友的电话。他一边说话一边离开,却把笔记本忘在了座位上。过了一会儿,小林经过长椅,发现了这本笔记。她在附近等了一会儿,没有看到失主,就把它交给了公园服务台。小安发现东西不见后,沿着原路回来寻找。工作人员请他说明笔记本的样子,核对后把它还给了他。小安十分感谢,也提醒自己以后离开座位前要检查随身物品。
The essential chain is left behind → found → handed to the desk → returned. The reference adds names, a phone call and a description check; these are plausible story choices, not facts proved by the drawings. Distinguish the owner from the finder, keep who handed the notebook to whom clear, and use time links naturally. Other coherent versions are valid.
- All four pictures contribute an event to the story.
- The owner, finder and desk staff remain distinguishable.
- Added details do not contradict the visible sequence.
- Check object references: it, this notebook, his/her notebook.
W02. Learning alone or with others?
Write at least 200 Chinese characters discussing whether you prefer learning alone, learning with others, or combining both. Explain your choice with specific reasons and an example, and describe a situation in which you might choose differently. Different positions are acceptable.
Possible responses and self-check
对我来说,独自学习和与他人一起学习并不是互相排斥的选择,关键是看当前的任务需要什么。阅读一篇较长的文章时,我通常先自己读一遍,把不懂的地方标出来。这样可以按自己的速度思考,不会因为别人已经懂了就急着跳过问题。不过,独自理解也可能留下没有发现的误解。因此,完成第一遍阅读后,我愿意和同伴讨论各自的判断,并请对方指出依据。例如,我们曾对一段文字的主要意思有不同看法。把相关句子放在一起比较后,我才发现自己忽略了一个表示转折的词。当然,如果同伴只想聊天,或者大家还没有做基本准备,讨论可能反而浪费时间。这时我会先独立完成任务,再约一个明确的问题进行交流。我认为,好的学习方式不是始终选择同一种形式,而是能够根据任务、准备程度和合作条件作出调整。
A defensible response can favor either option or a combination. The reference separates stages, gives one concrete reading example, acknowledges a limitation and explains an adjustment. Do not invent research percentages to strengthen your view; your own clearly framed example is enough. An opposing view is not automatically an error.
- The preference is stated and reasons explain it rather than simply repeat it.
- At least one specific example supports a reason.
- A condition for changing the approach is explained.
- Review paragraph links, comparisons, negation and consistency of claims.
The counter counts Han characters only, excluding punctuation, spaces, Latin letters and digits. It is a transparent practice aid, not a confirmed official character-counting or marking rule. The keyword reminder does not judge grammar or meaning.
