When the foreign students learn Mandarin in China, they may encounter different kinds of questions. The students may have difficulty in dealing with such questions. When the students are confronted with such questions, they should understand the context of the sentence and find the vacant words which are needed to complete the blank filling task. Some examples will be given to strengthen the understanding of the sentences and the ways to fill the pinyin into the blanks. Let’s see some examples specifically.

Let’s see the seven pinyin of some specific words. The seven pinyin are baoyou, zhenshou, buxing, goujian, taobi, shicha and xinlai. The literal meaning of the seven pinyin are bless, guard, walking on foot, build, evade, inspect and trust. The first sentence is like the following. 这些年他一直专研教育学，希望（）一个更合理的学科体系. The pinyin goujian should be filled into the blank since the sentence is short of a verb. The word goujian means build. Thus, the meaning of the sentence is that he has been conducting research in pedagogy, hoping that a more reasonable subject system would be built. 

Let’s see the second sentence 春节很多人都去寺庙烧香,求神佛（）新的一年里平安幸福. The blank should be filled with a noun and the literal meaning of the sentence is that there are many people come to temples to pray for blessing in the New Year. Thus, the pinyin baoyou should be filled into the blank. Let’s see the third sentence 总经理突然来分公司（）,每个职工都非常紧张. The blank should be filled with the pinyin shicha to mean inspect. The sentence is short of a verb and shicha is filled into the blank to refer the meaning that the general manager came to inspect the branch and it made the employees nervous. When the foreign students learn Chinese in Chinese schools, they should know something about the word class of the words.

Let’s move to the fourth sentence. The blank should be filled with the pinyin xinlai to form the sentence that he and Lao Li were from the same village and he trusted Lao Li most in all the colleagues. The fifth sentence should be filled with the pinyin buxing to make up the sentence that many passengers on the bus walked on foot for the crowd on the bus. The sixth sentence should be filled with the pinyin zhenshou to form the sentence while the pinyin taobi should be filled into the blank to form the sentence that the old man took his family into the woods to evade wars.
