Step 2: Let's use the word 搬家,搬到 in a story.

Alicia住在在阿拉巴马州,她只搬过一次家,因为她的爸爸妈妈想要搬家。Alicia非常喜欢现在的家,她不想要,也不会搬家。
八个月以后,Alicia会搬到中国,因为她会在上海市读大学。搬到上海以后,她想要试一试地道的中国菜,高铁,地铁,和中国男朋友,而且,她会交很多中国的新朋友。
搬到中国以后,Alicia一定会觉得又紧张又担心,因为她是一个外国人,她还不习惯中国文化,可是她希望她的中文会越来越好。

Step 3: Let's analyze the shapes and formats of the characters. For details: https://youtu.be/9N-nNvnAYTs

When you need to "move" things, in ancient China, you use a boat. So you hold the paddle and use the boat to move your things.

When you have food and shelter, Chinese people consider that a home.
