Chunk of the Week: Use “与其…不如…” Like a Native Speaker

Hi Michelle, Sure! Here are a few more examples using 与其…不如… with breakdowns so you can see how they work in context: 与其坐在家里发呆，不如出去散散步。 Rather than sitting at home doing nothing, it’s better to go out for a walk. 与其熬夜玩手机，不如早点休息。 Rather than staying up late playing on your phone, it’s better to get some rest early. 与其抱怨你的工作，不如努力提升自己的技能。 Instead of complaining about your work, it’s better to work on improving your skills. Try making a few sentences of your own using this structure — the more you practice, the more natural it will feel! Best, Will
