It is inevitably that the foreign students often meet some new words they do not know during the process oflearning Mandarin Chinese. Therefore, it is important for them to have the ability to explain the complicated words with the simple ones. For example, the word 前往in the sentence 市长要到外地出差，我当然陪同前往 is one that students never learned. But according to the former part, you can guess it carries the meaning that he will accompany the mayor to go for business trip. Accordingly, you can say去to replace 前往.

The word 无比is also frequently used by Chinese people like 本商厦对贵公司无比信任. You may be confused about the meaning of 无比. As a matter of fact, 无比carries the meaning of “incomparable” or “very”. Among the four options 产生、一点也不、非常 and 比较, 非常 is the best one to replace 无比.

You will also learn Chinese word动心when you go to study in qualified Mandarin program. Teachers may tell you many meanings of this word. But when it is placed in the sentence 妈妈劝了又劝，但是爸爸丝毫不动心, you should explain it with proper meaning obey the context. Neglecting the last part, the sentence means “the mother persuades again and again, but the father does not…”. Accordingly, you will know the missing part should be words expressing “change the mind”. Then, you will find the word  改变主意 to express the same meaning.

Sometimes, when you do the practice of replacing the difficult words with simple ones, the possible answers are provided for you to choose, making it much easier. For instance, selecting one from 支援、思考、组织and照顾to replace 体贴 in the sentence 从小娇生惯养的他终于学会体贴人了. Sometimes, students who learn Mandarin in China know it means to take care but fail to find proper one. Then, you can scan the options one by one and know the meanings of them are respectively support, think, organize and take care.
