This is the book of Chinese characters matching the Level 2 Integrated Textbook of 10 Level Chinese. The 32 basic characters listed in the Threshold volume and the 320 characters listed in the Level 1 textbook will not be considered as new characters in this volume.
Focusing on teaching students to read and write the 20 characters for reading and writing given in the Integrated Textbook, each lesson is divided into four parts—“Chinese characters”, “Exercises”, “Take a look at the ancient Chinese characters” and “Compare the following simplified characters with their traditional forms”. The first two parts make up the main body, while the other two parts are to be selected according to individual needs. A unit review after every three lessons summarizes the characters learned in the lessons, including five parts—“Bank of Chinese characters”, “Structures of Chinese characters”, “Skills of identifying Chinese characters”, “Exercises” and “Knowledge about Chinese characters”.
This book comes with a Workbook of Chinese Characters for students to practice using the characters after class, which is quite convenient and practical.
