How to study 浮 in context

  1. Say fú, then recall the core meaning: to drift, to float.
  2. Write all 10 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 浮动 (fú dòng), meaning “to drift about”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 浮 works in that context.
