New Century Chinese is a complete beginning college level Chinese program. Book Three, which lays equal emphasis on speaking and reading, also contains three parts: Oral Activities, Chinese Character Recognition, and Grammar and Exercises. The reading sections, most of which are of a highly entertaining and culturally informative nature, are followed by 2 or 3 writing assignments with various topics for those who want to develop their writing skills. A vocabulary list is placed at the beginning of each topic and twp general vocabulary lists (Chinese-English, English-Chinese glossary) are also provided at the end of each volume. To accommodate the needs of students from different linguistic background, both the simplified and traditional versions of the Chinese charactes have been employed side by side in a contrast manner. Well-chosen topics for varied oral activities, basic structures of modern Chinese, carefully selected reading materials, and approximately 1,200 useful vocabulary words in these volumes will provide the students with ample opportunities for practicing Chinese in communicative and interactive contexts. A companion workbook is also available.
