How it works:
1．Learn the new words you might not know.
This part provides equivalents and explanations for new words and expressions to help learners better understand the text. It also keeps the degree of difficulty of the texts within reasonable bounds so that learners can read them at a reasonable speed.
2．Read and listen to the story to get the main idea.
A wide range of topics are included to sustain the freshness of reading. The stories touch upon many aspects of Chinese life. In some cases, similarities and differences between Chinese and foreign cultures are compared and analyzed to give you a realistic idea about contemporary China and improve their cross-cultural communication ability. Different writing genres and styles are selected, such as narrations, instructions, argumentations, letters, poems, mining stories, etc. In this way, you can fully appreciate the charm of Chinese language. Many texts are closely related to foreign students’ life in China and contain practical information about studying, living, traveling and working in China.
3．Answer a few questions about the story.
In exercises, a small amount of choice questions, true or false questions and ordering questions are designed to check your comprehension of the texts without spoiling the fun of reading.
4. Listen to the story again with English translations to make sure you catch everything.
Integration of audio input through listening and visual input through reading will further improve learning results
It is common knowledge that reading is the primary input channel for adult learners of a foreign language. Extensive reading can ensure adequate language input and fast, efficient learning. Therefore, both language researchers and teachers emphasize large amounts of reading in addition to classroom learning.
This series tailored to the diverse needs of learners at different levels of Chinese proficiency. It features fun stories of present-day China, with introductions on Chinese history, culture and everyday life.
Every story from the series is brief in content and has a small amount of exercises. There are altogether five levels in the series, each consisting of several volumes. Please refer to the table posted at the beginning of the video.
