Features: The series textbook "Basic Business Chinese—Conversation and Application" is designed for learners with intermediate Chinese proficiency or above. It is suitable for native English speakers who primarily communicate in English and are interested in engaging in business activities in China and the Chinese-speaking community. For the convenience of instructors, the textbook is divided into two volumes, each containing a textbook and a comprehensive exercise book. Based on common course arrangements in international universities, each volume typically covers one semester. Each lesson in the textbook includes two dialogues, relevant sentence patterns, annotations, substitution exercises, and comparative studies of Chinese and foreign business cultures in a diary format, along with basic economic and trade information. To expand learners' vocabulary and facilitate reference, each lesson also provides commonly used business vocabulary in Chinese-English, categorized and listed in tables. Each dialogue includes simplified characters, traditional characters, Pinyin, and English translations for easy reference and adaptation to learners' needs. The comprehensive exercise book is designed to complement the textbook content. For the convenience of learners, each lesson in the exercise book offers a vocabulary list corresponding to each dialogue in the textbook. The various exercises designed for each lesson are guided by functional teaching and interactive teaching principles, focusing on training in business Chinese conversation and application skills. We hope these teaching materials not only meet students' needs but also save teachers preparation time. Additionally, each volume comes with a CD-ROM, as well as various appendices and a bilingual vocabulary index.
