Instead of spending three hours sitting and reading every day, it’s better to use fragmented time.

For me, using Chinese in daily life is the best learning method.
Usage of 与其……不如……
Meaning:
- Rather than [A], it is better to [B]
Context:
- This structure is used to compare two options or actions. It expresses that the speaker has weighed both and decided that the second one is a much better or more effective choice.
Examples:
- 与其每天担心，不如现在就开始努力。
- Rather than worrying every day, it is better to start working hard right now.
- 与其去书店买书，不如去图书馆借书。
- Rather than going to the bookstore to buy books, it is better to borrow them from the library.
- 与其在这里等他，不如我们先走吧。
- Rather than waiting for him here, it is better if we leave first.
Usage of 万一
Meaning:
- “In case” / “If by any chance” / “What if…”
Context:
- 万一 is used to discuss a situation that has a very small possibility of happening (literally “one in ten thousand”). It is often used to suggest a contingency plan for a potential problem or a negative outcome.
Examples:
- 出门带把伞吧，万一下雨了呢？
- Take an umbrella with you, in case it rains.
- 万一他忘了这件事，你记得提醒他。
- If by any chance he forgets this, remember to remind him.
- 我们要多准备一套方案，万一这个办法不行。
- We need to prepare an extra plan, in case this method doesn’t work.
