Our test today has questions that are among the hardest you will ever face while studying for the Advanced HSK. They are also a routine part of the Chinese proficiency exam.In our opinion these find-the-mistake questions are challenging because they're open-ended. Each question consists of a simple sentence that contains a single error. This error might be grammatical, or maybe it involves a matter of word choice. All you need to do is find it. Then select the passage which contains it and move on. Good luck.

@stratman1,
这是一条形容词重叠的固定规则，一些可以重叠的形容词，假如它原来的形式是"AB"，例如"辛苦"，它一般有两种重叠的方式：1）变成 "AABB"，比如"辛辛苦苦"，这个时候，"辛辛苦苦"还是形容词；2）变成 "ABAB"，比如"辛苦辛苦"，这个时候，"辛苦辛苦"是动词。
在我们这次的HSK中，正确的应该是动词"辛苦辛苦"。

@imron,
Hey, Imron! We have been missing you. Someone is going to replace you and become our new "King of Film Friday" if you don't keep 加油 :P
How's your 牛 year going?

Haha, I retired undefeated after Spirited Away. I didn't want Film Friday to turn into Snarky Comments About Imron Thinking He's So Smart Friday ;-)
牛 year has been much the same as 鼠 year :-) Although recently I've been putting a reasonable amount of effort into increasing my reading speed, which seems to have been working at least.
