How to study 运 in context

  1. Say yùn, then recall the core meaning: to run.
  2. Write all 7 strokes while keeping the lower-left enclosure balanced.
  3. Use it in 运动 (yùn dòng), meaning “to move”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 运 works in that context.
