脚步 (jiǎo bù): footstep, step

Hearing the familiar sound of footsteps outside the door, she knew it was her father coming home from work and immediately ran to open the door.

Grandpa is getting older and his footsteps are much slower than before, but he still insists on taking a walk in the park every morning.

Hearing hurried footsteps behind him, he turned around and saw that it was his classmate Xiao Li chasing after him.

In the late-night corridor, only the footsteps of the security guard on patrol echoed, making it seem especially quiet.

She softened her footsteps and quietly entered the room, afraid of waking the sleeping baby.
