Once they understand this part, the learners will master the meaning of the whole sentence. The words, phrases, and imitation exercises of sentences provided in the textbook are mostly the key words and sentences of the lessons, which serve as a foundation for understanding the functional dialogues and the texts. The Listening Comprehension consists of two volumes, each containing 15 lessons. Each lesson covers five parts: new words, listen and repeat, functional dialogues, text and comprehension and differentiation.
