One easy way to give two options is to precede each one with 或者 (huòzhě). 

== Structure ==
<div class="jiegou">

或者 A，或者 B

</div>

You can use almost anything as the options A and B. 

== Examples ==
<div class="liju">

* 只 有 一 块 蛋糕，<em>或者</em> 你 吃 <em>或者</em> 我 吃。<span class="trans">There's only one piece of cake. Either you eat it, or I eat it.</span>
* 你 <em>或者</em> 学 汉语 ， <em>或者</em> 学 法律，别的就别学了。<span class="trans">Either study Chinese or law. Don't study anything else.</span>
* 咱们 <em>或者</em> 去 爬山 <em>或者</em> 泡温泉。<span class="trans">Let's either go hiking or go to the hot springs.</span>

</div>
