Quick suggestion: Have you guys ever thought of supplementing some of your non-listening HSK quizzes ("fill in the blank" etc.)with an audio file of the sentences (including correct answers) read at natural speed? I know that the listening tests are specifically designed to test just that, but I feel that having a short mp3 to go along with the text-based material would be very good for reviewing after the test. With some of the subtle differences in word choice, it might be nice to have a little more exposure to correct usage without too much extra work on your end. Just a thought...
Thanks and keep up the excellent work!
Anyone else have thoughts on this? It will require some changes to the way we handle test preparation, but it's an idea....
我觉得这个想法不错，但是有些具体问题还需要探讨。首先从考察点来说，像选择填空、阅读理解这样的题来说，主要考察的是学生认读的能力，也可以简单地说是“看、认”的能力，如果变成mp3的形式，考察的考点就发生了很大的转变。另外，从具体实现来说，有一些同音词、同形词是很难用音频的方式考察的。不知道大家的看法怎么样？--Echoecho@popupchinese.com
I like this idea. Listening is my weakest area and also the one I find hardest to improve. I would welcome any addition of transcripted audio. I don't think it would necessarily change the test, since you could do the exercise without the audio first and then use the audio later.
