Features: The Chinese Intermediate Listening Course is divided into two volumes, each containing twenty-four lessons. The first volume focuses on the introduction of functional items, with each lesson consisting of two parts: a short passage and a dialogue, aimed at helping students understand different styles of Chinese expressions. The second volume strengthens training in the language of media such as news and advertisements. Each volume of the book is divided into "Text" and "Vocabulary and Exercises." The vocabulary is primarily based on the graded common words listed in the HSK, and the exercises are designed following the principle of progressing from easy to difficult, assessing students' comprehension of the text. After the text exercises, some real-life recordings are provided as supplementary listening materials to enhance students' language intuition. This book uses both written materials and audio cassettes, with the audio cassettes published by Peking University Audiovisual Publishing House. This book is a listening course textbook for teaching Chinese to foreigners. It is suitable for foreign students with a basic level of Chinese. This book is the written material for this series of textbooks. It is used in conjunction with the audio cassettes, divided into "Text" and "Vocabulary and Exercises." The "Vocabulary and Exercises" volume is for students to use as a reference when listening to the recordings. At a certain stage, students can check the text under the guidance of the teacher to assess their listening proficiency. The "Text" volume is also used for teachers' lesson preparation. The text of this book consists of two parts: a short passage and a dialogue, reflecting Chinese culture, customs, social dynamics, and human interactions. To strengthen training in the language of media such as news and advertisements, some passages in this book are selected from newspaper and radio news reports and advertisements.
