Moreover, words, phrases and sentence structures being practiced in this book include both the new ones taught in the Basic Level B Student’s Book and the ones in the previous books. 

One distinctive feature of this book is that 60% of the exercises are listening exercises, while many of them are aimed at overall listening comprehension of longer Chinese texts at a natural speed of native Mandarin speakers. This feature is the most challenging and also the most rewarding for students to develop a keen sense of listening skills when following longer and faster speech in Mandarin, and it is a critical process for lasting learning results and it benefits students’ future studies immensely. 

On completing this book, students will have reached a milestone in their Chinese study.
