Features: This is a short-term intensive Chinese language textbook that combines structure, function, and culture as its guiding principles. It uses topics and functional notions as tools, set against the communicative contexts that foreigners often encounter when they first arrive in China. The book consists of 21 topics, with 10 in the upper volume and 11 in the lower volume. Each topic corresponds to a lesson, which is divided into three parts for flexible use by students of different levels. The exercises in this book are divided into listening and speaking exercises, with questions designed to progress from simple to complex, with repeated reinforcement to achieve the goal of improving listening and speaking skills in a short period. To help learners understand some communicative cultural knowledge, there is a written material related to the topic and Chinese culture after each group of texts, for reference by students with higher proficiency.
