An enjoyable source of learning, this reader will help students learn Chinese in a cultural context. Students at the advanced level must not only learn the vocabulary, grammar, and sentences at the discourse level, but also must learn how to see and express themselves within the context of the language. This reader helps students adjust to the differences between the colloquial and the literary, the classical and idiomatic, and different social levels and educational backgrounds. Containing 26 specific cultural themes, the reader emphasizes word analysis, synonyms, and discussions to build linguistic proficiency by using stock phrases and idiomatic expressions which are used in everyday life, but are often frustrating for foreign learners. A must for advanced language learners.
