This is a series of Chinese
speaking textbooks designed under a “task-based” concept. With communication as
its target and tasks as its thread, the series integrates topics, functions and
culture together and realizes an organic unity of form and meaning. It is
suitable for learners from entry-level to intermediate-level and can be used in
both short-term training classes and long-term programs.
This is Book 4, suitable for
intermediate-level learners. The book is composed of 10 topical units with
quite formal content about various aspects of the modern world, including
politics, economy, culture, life, and sports, etc. Each unit has several
instructional objectives for learners to fulfill during the process of
completing tasks.
The whole book is provided with
English translation and full-color illustrations and pictures, and is
accompanied by an MP3 CD.
