Friends is a set of Chinese graded readers for non-native Chinese students, which can be used both in and out of the class for readers of all ages.

This book is written for adults, suitable for Chinese students who have learned 150 words corresponding to New HSK Level 1. It includes 10 essays, encompassing each writer’s personal life and daily life, brimming with the writers’ thinking in adulthood.

After reading this book, students can not only learn the basic words and expressions in daily life, but also get wider perspectives and improve their Chinese expression skills and cross-cultural communication skills.

Multicultural: Written by non-native Chinese speakers, this series combines the speakers’ second language and the culture of their native language, removes the cultural barriers in reading, and develops readers’ cross-cultural perspectives and communication skills.

Graded Reading: This series is divided into six levels, respectively corresponding to Levels 1-6 in the New HSK syllabus. Words or expressions not listed in the syllabus are provided with English explanations. A few exercises are designed after reading. The design of objective questions imitates that of the New HSK and the open-ended subjective questions focus on the development of readers’ language expression skills and communication skills.
