HSK 5 Writing: Format, Tips and Practice
HSK 5 writing has two parts: arrange words into sentences (8 questions), then two short pieces of about 80 characters each: one must use five given words, the other describes a picture. Plan a three-part mini story and use each required word once, correctly.
Time: about 40 minutes. From 13 December 2026 the exam moves to HSK 3.0, with a revised writing section from Level 2; see what changes in HSK 3.0 and confirm on chinesetest.cn.
Part 1: Complete the sentence
Questions 91–98
Arrange the given words into one correct sentence.
- Look for fixed pairs: 虽然……但是, 不但……而且, 只要……就.
Part 2: Short writing
Questions 99–100
99: write about 80 characters using all five given words. 100: write about 80 characters about a picture.
- Write the five words in an order that tells a simple story.
- Use connectors (首先, 后来, 最后, 所以) to link sentences.
- Stay close to 80 characters; length beyond that does not add marks.
