Features: "New Precision German Intensive Course" (Revised Edition) consists of five volumes: Beginner 1, Beginner 2, Intermediate 1, Intermediate 2, and Advanced Course. This book is the third volume, equivalent to the Intermediate Level II level stipulated in the "Outline for Intensive German Teaching for Study Abroad Personnel," and is suitable for learners who have completed beginner German (540 hours). This course, starting from the characteristics of short-term intensive training, has corrected the traditional textbooks' shortcomings of overemphasizing grammar while neglecting practicality in both language knowledge delivery and communicative competence training. In terms of material selection, the book takes into account learners' needs for life, study, and social activities abroad. The selected texts cover the three major communicative contexts: life, study, and social interaction. Additionally, some texts introduce Chinese history and culture to foreign countries, enabling learners to develop certain bidirectional cross-cultural communicative abilities. The book strives for diverse and balanced exercise formats, combining difficulty levels, with a focus on developing learners' ability to transition from sentence-level to text-level expression while cultivating the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Most exercise content aligns with the themes, allowing for extensive review of relevant contexts and vocabulary, preparing learners for the transition to the second stage of intermediate-level study. All listening texts in this book are accompanied by corresponding audio cassettes.
