Beginner Level 初级 (chūjí)
The right answer for this test is B.
Translation:
Jīnnián shǔjià wǒ yào dāizài Zhōngguó, wǒ bù xiǎng huí guó.
Jen: 今年 暑假 我 要 呆在 中国， 我 不 想 回 国。
I will stay in China for the summer holiday. I don’t want to go back to my home.
Hǎo a, wǒmen kěyǐ yìqǐ guò shǔjià.
Lily: 好啊，我们 可以一起 过 暑假。
Great, we can spend the holiday together.
Analysis:
From the above sentences, you’ll find that for choices A and C, “去 (qù)” means to go and “来 (lái)” means to come. Actually in Chinese, “要 (yào)” is used as a modal verb to show one’s thoughts or desires. But when expressing the negative of “要,” we generally say “不想 (bù xiǎng)” not “不要 (bù yào).” So the correct answer is B. 想 (xiǎng).
For example,
Wǒ zhōumò yào qù guàngjiē.
Girl: 我 周末 要 去 逛街。
I want to go shopping this weekend.
Wǒ bù xiǎng qù, wǒmen qù páshān zěnmeyàng?
Boy: 我 不 想 去，我们 去 爬山 怎么样？
I don’t want to go. What about going hiking?
Wǒ bù xiǎng qù páshān.
Girl: 我 不 想 去 爬山。
I don’t want to go hiking.
