Description

Learn Chinese with Me is a series composed of four volumes each of which contains a student’s book and Workbook designed for the students whose native language is English.

It emphasizes functional use of the language with sentence patterns and grammar in the context of everyday activities. The textbook includes plenty of exercises to keep students interested and to deepen their understanding of Chinese.

Learn Chinese with Me is a series designed for students of 15 to 18 years old whose native language is English. It guides the students from beginner to low-intermediate level. The topics in this series of textbooks have been carefully selected to meet the high school students’ interests and are arranged in accordance with the rules of learning a second language. The series is composed of four volumes each of which contains Student’s Book, Teacher’s Book, Workbooks, and phonetic and listening materials.

As a supplement to Learn Chinese with Me Student’s Book 4, this workbook is mainly designed for homework. However, these exercises can also at the teacher’s discretion be used as classwork. There are altogether 6 units including 18 lessons, each of which contains 8-10 exercises, such as exercises on Pinyin, Chinese characters, vocabulary and sentence patterns. Since this workbook is intended for those who have already learned a certain amount of Chinese, we have kept in mind the following principles:

• In terms of vocabulary, exercises are designed to focus on the recognition and reading of the new words introduced in the lesson. In this type of exercise the students are required to supply correct Pinyin for the given words and to be able to write some important ones. They are also required to be able to perform accurate two-way translations between Chinese and English.
• In terms of Chinese characters, this workbook, in accordance with the text, can gradually familiarize the students with the basic structures, basic strokes, common components and stroke order of Chinese characters. There are exercises on character components and stroke order in each lesson. There are also exercises on polyphones and characters with similar forms in each unit in accordance with Student’s Book 4.
• We insured that the introduction of Chinese is done in an integrated and systematic way; at the same time, we tried to make every exercise interesting. Therefore, we added some pictures and other amusing forms of exercises.
