This book is compiled in accordance with the spirit of the "Interim Provisions on the Translation Professional Qualification (Level) Examination" issued by the Ministry of Personnel and in line with the requirements of the "Trial Syllabus for the National Translation Professional Qualification (Level) Examination—French Translation (Intermediate Level)". Like the intermediate-level textbook, this book consists of 8 units, with 2 lessons per unit (topics include: Sports and Entertainment, Tourism and Transportation, Politics and Society, Culture and Heritage, Education and Health, Economy and Business, Industry and Agriculture, Science and Technology). Each lesson is divided into two main parts: text and exercises. The text includes a basic vocabulary list, a phrase list, text annotations, and reading comprehension questions. The exercises are designed according to the exam format, divided into four parts: vocabulary and grammar, reading comprehension, cloze, and composition. Among them, the reading materials, cloze, and composition are all based on the lesson themes; the vocabulary and grammar exercises are independently designed to meet the needs of candidates preparing for the exam. The book includes reference answers at the end. The texts and reading materials in this book are selected from major French newspapers such as Le Monde, Le Figaro, Le Nouvel Observateur, Le Point, Libération, and L'Express, news agency reports from AFP, as well as some publications and websites. We express our gratitude here to these newspapers, news agencies, books, and websites. The texts and reading materials in this book are carefully selected and match the corresponding themes of the intermediate-level content, aiming to deepen and broaden language knowledge while allowing readers to learn more about contemporary France, such as the 35-hour workweek, pension reforms, the first French presidential election, major political parties, biotechnology, internet and mobile technology, Paris transportation, university education, and wine culture. Therefore, this book is not only suitable for exam preparation but can also be used as a reading book or textbook for advanced French students.
