This book is the listening course book matching
Book 2 of Chinese Course (3rd
Edition). It can also be used independently as a practice book of elementary
listening.
Through studying Book 1, students have already grasped
the basics of Chinese pronunciation and intonation. Therefore, Book 2 shifts
the focus to listening comprehension. While training the comprehension of
certain grammar points, it also begins to train students’ discourse and
semantic comprehension. The book includes a total of 25 lessons, with a good
variety of exercises. In addition to common exercises such as multiple-choice, true-or-false,
and Q & A questions, there are also function-oriented exercises such as
asking questions based on sentence stress, choosing appropriate answers, etc.
To foster students’ Chinese communication ability, it also provides some
material for self-directed learning.
