This book is a newspaper reader for the American student who has completed one-and-a-half to two years of modern Chinese. The 14 selections included show how the U.S. was depicted in commentaries and essays in The People's Daily from 1990 through 1991. Covering the education crisis, social injustice, human rights violations, and racial discrimination, the articles are generally critical of, and even hostile to, American society as a whole: their controversial nature will elicit student interest and classroom participation. Each selection is presented in both traditional and simplified characters, with a copy of the actual newspaper article and a cartoon included: each is also accompanied by a vocabulary glossary, sentence patterns annotated in English, and suggested discussion topics. In addition to the 14 glossed selections, eight unglossed essays are included for use as supplementary reading materials. (For this item please quote stock ID 5742) ISBN: 9780691000701

A textbook designed for those developing and improving their ability to read Chinese newspapers. It can be used in a classroom setting with students who have studied basic Chinese grammar and have mastered a vocabulary of approx. 2500 characters, or as a self-study aid for those of a similar competency. Journalism has a unique style of language. Although fluency in this specialised language is based on the general knowledge of competence acquired in the broader language, journalism retains its own style, language and formulas. Learners of Chinese may eventually work in diverse fields, but the ability to read newspapers becomes a valuable working tool - it allows us to obtain pertinent and current information on latest issues and developments. This textbook puts emphasis on the words, phrases and formulas commonly found in journalistic Chinese, and is divided into 20 topics, each of four sections: Words & Sentences, Reading Passages, Exercises, and Background Information. The sentences and passages in this text were chosen from newspapers. In order to maintain the content and the tone necessary for convenient reading, a few editorial changes have been made.
