This series of textbooks is designed for short-term students of Chinese, both in China and abroad. It addresses three levels of study---fundamental, intermediate and advanced. Each level has a listening and speaking book and a reading and writing book. These six books are connected through topics, themes and vocabulary of increasing levels of difficulty, and thus are linked as a whole, giving students a full range of training. This book is the supplementary textbook for the fundamental level. Whilst the listening and speaking book helps students to master basic grammar rules, sentence patterns and vocabulary, this reading and writing book enriches the daily life dialogues in the listening and speaking book, and helps students to read and write short passages and sentence groups on related topics.
