Spoken Chinese 900 is designed to help them cope with these situations. In this book, more than 50 situations are presented under 19 headings of conversational Chinese. Each situation consists of 5 sections: (1) basic Chinese sentences with English trans- lations; (2) notes in English and Chinese; (3) conversations; (4) exercises; and (5) vocabulary. In the appendix, there is a key to the exercises. The basic sentences appearing in this book are the most typical patterns and the most widely used colloquial Chinese expressions. The reader is advised to make a careful study of the notes as they contain colloquial Chinese expressions popular in everyday life and the basic language points necessary to be possessed in learning the Chinese language. The con- versations are aimed at an active application of the most practically useful sentence patterns spoken and written today. For them no English translations are given, the reader is en- couraged to think in Chinese and to bear them in mind. The exercises are intended to assist the reader to practise the key sentence patterns through repetition so as to absorb and con- solidate what he has learned about language point:22% MandarinChineseSchool.com Chinese phonetic symbols are printed for the convenience of the reader and cassette tape recordings are available for the reader to achieve practising and drilling purposes. Spoken Chinese 900 was first published in 1983 by Shang- hai Educational Publisher. In this edition some minor editorial revisions have been made by Joint Publishing Company (HK). svi HH AR bt 8B SPE AA AC Zh hey, irae, ee F TGA 9 MEL Ay ROSE AR RAZR HBL A EI EE AE FB ay FAA) 1B, MPABM ABUL, HAA CAE AMA, BEAM.
