Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International Chinese Language Education: Quick Vocabulary Handbook, a practical vocabulary learning manual for Chinese language learners, is compiled in strict accordance with the “List of Chinese Vocabulary” in Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International Chinese Language Education. 

According to the “three levels and nine bands” of the Standards, Quick Vocabulary Handbook is composed of eight volumes (Levels 7 to 9 are divided into two volumes), and this volume belongs to Level 7-9, which contains all the 2820 words in Level 7-9. With 60 words per unit, this volume seeks to turn vocabulary learning into parts and improve the efficiency of vocabulary learning, so that learners can complete one unit of vocabulary learning and practice every day. The book organizes the words in phonetic order and illustrates and shows the words in four dimensions: pronunciation, word class, interpretation and usage. At the same time, the book focuses on the combination of learning and practice, and after finishing one unit, learners can practice intensively through the “Quick Practice” section with various types of practice questions, each focusing on different aspects and complementing the others.
