This book is to be used together with Mandarin Express Basic Level B Student's Book. There are ten exercises for each lesson, and ten more for each review. Overall understanding is particularly attended to in all exercises. 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 and at a natural speaking speed of native Mandarin speakers. 

This feature is the most challenging and also the most rewarding, as it is critical for students to be able to follow longer and faster speeches in Mandarin. This extensive training on listening skills benefits students’ future studies tremendously.

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