Writing notes

买 vs 卖 is the classic confusable pair — a worksheet with both, traced repeatedly, is the standard cure. 东 and 西 are direction characters with satisfying symmetry.

Why a paper sheet instead of an app? HSK 1 exams test writing from memory, not tapping. Muscle memory for 买东西 comes from tracing it in tianzige grids until the proportions land inside the cross guides every time — usually ten to twenty printed repetitions.
