How to read the character sheet

How to do character sheets Write one line the first time. One character, one pinyin. Finish the second line when you do the next chapter’s characters.

Character sheets We collect the first lines of all the characters after we finish a chapter. We collect the second lines of the previous chapter and the first lines of the current chapter starting from Chapter 1. It is the same for chapter 2, i.e. second lines of chapter 1 + first lines of chapter 2
