Hello, advanced learners! 👋 Reaching the HSK 6 level means you are no longer just surviving in Chinese—you are thriving! At this stage, it’s all about the flow and structure of your arguments.
In professional writing or the HSK 6 Writing Section, you need sophisticated ways to wrap up your thoughts. Instead of a simple “So,” use these high-level transition words to sound like a native speaker.
1. 綜上所述 (zòng shàng suǒ shù)
- Translation: “In summary” / “Based on the above mentioned.”
- Usage: This is very formal. It literally means “summing up (綜) what was stated (述) above (上).” Use this in academic papers, business reports, or formal speeches.
- Example: 綜上所述，本目標可行。 (In summary, the objective is feasible.)
2. 總而言之 (zǒng ér yán zhī)
- Translation: “All in all” / “In a nutshell.”
- Usage: This is a versatile classic. It’s used to condense a complex argument into one final, punchy point.
- Example: 總而言之，我們必須採取行動。 (All in all, we must take action.)
💡 Pro Tip: Using these markers helps the reader follow your logic immediately. It signals: “Pay attention, here is my final verdict!”

✅ Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: C) 綜上所述，此方案具備高度的可操作性。
Explanation:
- A) 我覺得…： Too colloquial for a formal argument. HSK 6 writing prefers objective markers.
- B) 聽說…： “I heard that…” expresses uncertainty, which is the opposite of a strong conclusion.
- C) 綜上所述…： Correct! It uses the formal connector “綜上所述” and professional vocabulary like “可操作性” (feasibility), which perfectly matches the Hanban HSK 6 Standards.
- D) 因為…所以…： While grammatically correct, it is a basic structure (HSK 2-3) and lacks the professional polish required for advanced argumentation.
