The Chinese Odyssey, Volume 5 textbook solidifies students' competence in modern Chinese communication. In year three of Chinese Odyssey, students will carry on more sophisticated discussions in Chinese and learn to express themselves in writing. The book's ten lessons contain dialogues and texts, clear and detailed explanations of grammar rules and language usage, coordinated grammar and communication exercises, and cultural material. Lesson topics in Volumes 5 & 6 range from using proper etiquette and culturally appropriate Chinese dining behavior, to comparing traditional Chinese medicine with Western medicine, to analyzing and debating Chinese economic policies and reforms.
This book is intended to cover the first semester of third-year Chinese for students in high school or college. This book includes practice exercises integrated throughout each section of the textbook, eliminating the need for a separate workbook. At the end of each lesson, Comprehensive Exercises integrate listening, speaking, reading, writing, and grammar practice. These exercises are the same as the exercises in the multimedia CD-ROM. Exercises and quizzes in all volumes are modeled after the HSK, China's standardized test of Chinese for foreign learners, making Chinese Odyssey the ideal series for anyone who plans to study or work in China.
