Stories of the Chinese

[wrbt]

This looks neat for intermediate learners who need practice with some authentic material:

This book is suitable for learners who have mastered 2,000 common Chinese words.

The textbook is adapted from the documentaries of the same title broadcast in China Central Television.

It introduces over 20 Chinese people from all walk of life, such as taxi drivers, retired old folks, fitness instructors, fashing designers, etc. In an intuitive and vivid manner, the DVD displays the living and working conditions and mental outlook of contemporary Chinese people. The innovative combination of audiovisual learning and intensive reading turns "reading" the text into "watching" the text, and incorporates Chinese language learning into the learning of Chinese culture and China's national condition. It will greatly improve the effectiveness of teaching and deepen student's understanding of China.
