The next most requested feature is the request sentence, which is the second most frequently used rate. These command and request sentence accounted for 90% of the inquiries of the articles. The characteristics of the articles in the Chinese beginner textbook series were mainly composed of ‘吧’, which was used to make the command sentences soften.
