Introduction Foreign students of Chinese who already have a com-

mand of everyday spoken Chinese will subsequently develop :

a need for further study They will want not only to broaden their vocabulary in spoken Chinese and to master common sentence patterns, but also to be able to adapt to various language situations, so that they can enjoy ever-broadening social interactions and express complex thoughts and feelings

At the same time they will hope to gain a deeper understanding

of the cultural background of Chinese society and the inner world of the Chinese people

In view of the above needs we have compiled Advanced Spoken Chinese The texts are selected from works which have a strong spoken language content These works have

rich and varied patterns of oral expression They reflect

the condition of Chinese society, especially the customs and

sentiments of the people |

We have compiled a large number of exercises based on

the texts which will reinforce the students’ oral practice

We hope that the material will satisfy the needs of advanced students of spoken Chinese, and will also be of help to self-

taught students who have attained a fair level of language competence (a knowledge of about 1,800-2,000 characters).

The text provides brief explanatory notes for the names

of people, historical information, customs, literary allu- sions, and some common sayings which are not easily un- derstood To limit the size of the vocabulary lists; the words entered are only those which are in common use, plus a small proportion of words which may not be in common use but which are not easily found in ordinary dictionaries The exercises for each lesson are divided into parts

A, B, and C Part A lists commonly used expressions and sentence patterns, the majority of which are not easy to

understand clearly from the literal meaning of the characters These are not usually found in reference books, and are very

easily used incorrectly by students These expressions and patterns are first explained briefly, then exercise questions are supplied Part B is mainly for the practice of commonly

used words, phrases, and sentence patterns In the exercise

questions special attention has been given to repeating words and sentence patterns which have already been studied in previous chapters This repetition serves to consolidate previously learned vocabulary Part C, reflecting the charac- teristics of advanced spoken language teaching materials, emphasizes exercise questions which require students to

formulate and express complete responses

In the exercises we have tried to use as many different styles as possible and have done our best to minimize me-

chanical drills in order to allow students the opportunity

to freely express their thoughts.

For easy reference, new words are listed in pinyin in

alphabetical order at the back of Vol.2

This book is based on teaching methods that have been used time and again In selecting the texts and exercises,

the advice of foreign students and visiting teachers of Chinese

was sought To suit teaching needs and to make the text

‘more standard, a few phrases in certain texts have been

altered and some passages have been slightly abridged

Generally speaking, advanced students like to improve

their spoken Chinese through literature that has a strong spoken language content Nevertheless, when employing this type of literature to teach spoken Chinese, the content

still must be put to practice constantly The compilation

of this book is just one attempt to meet this need

The English translation work was undertaken by Dr

Irene Liu of Columbia University, U.S.A., and Mr Chong Ket Kiong of the University of Melbourne, Australia III ustrated by: Wang Fuyang, Jin Ziezhong, Wang Iunrui, Wang Zhixue
