Posted on: 相见恨晚——老电影

1-1 “认识” 是指你知道一个人，但是 “相见” 和 “相遇” 指的是面对面见到一个人，相遇特别是指因为​​巧合（coincidence）而见到一个人。例如：下次相见就是你结婚的时候了。在这句话里，可以看出，已经确定什么时候会见到了，所以不能用 “相遇”。

1-2 结交的意思是 “跟一个人往来，让两人的关系更密切” ，所以一般我们会说：结交朋友、结交女朋友、结交厉害的人。又因为你认识一个人，不一定要和他做朋友，所以认识和结交是不一样的意思。

1-3 可以，“相处” 并没有限制只能用在朋友。你也可以说，我跟家人 / 兄弟姊妹 / 老师 / 老板 相处得很好。

1-4 “相识” 的意思是互相认识，只是(1) “相识”比较正式(2) 放在句子里的位置不太一样(3) 大部分的时候，“相识” 是对很好的朋友或情人用。例如：
我很高兴与你相识。
我很高兴认识你。

2.是的。我们最常用的句型是：N 很/真/好烂。例如：这个电视节目真烂。一般来说，烂+N，比较少，比较常看到的有：烂人、烂苹果。

3. 迷，就是对某一事项或东西非常喜爱，你控制不住自己对它的喜欢，所以你可以迷上一个人、一本书、一首歌、一项运动、一种活动等等。

Posted on: Character Mind Map: 走 walk

I would say, it depends on the relationship and the context of the conversation. For example,
A：你在写什么？What are you writing?
B：走开啦...Go away...
I would not say it's impolite in this context. But, yes, mostly it's quite impolite, so we have many words to take the place of 走开. We seldom use it to those you're not familiar with.

Hi there,
First, about dictation, we have the exercise like this is to (1) let students try their best to listen to the sound of each word and (2) to recognize the characters of the target vocabulary. So, how to learn the correct dictation, first of all, you need to listen carefully to each sentence. And try to figure out each word in your mind. If there's any word that you can't figure out by its sound, go check it out and find out what it means.
Secondly, try to memorize the shape of the character. Try if you can say it when looking at the Chinese characters only without the help of pinyin and English. You might wonder, how is it possible to memorize all the characters. Try the following link: https://hanziyuan.net/ The website tells people how Chinese characters evolve and what do each part of the character means. With this, it might be easier for you to memorize the looking of each character.
Last but not least, whenever you listen to Chinese sentences, try to write their pinyin down and check if you're correct. Since ChinesePod is an online teaching website, we can't really make students write. Therefore, in dictation, you just need to type in pinyin and choose the correct character.
By the way, if you really want to know how to write, this website http://bishun.shufaji.com/ might help.
