- </p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="d0e2185"/>About the C-l and P-l Tapes</h3></div></div></div><p>The C-l and P-l tapes are your introduction to the Chinese words and
- structures presented in each unit. The tapes give you explanations and practice
- on the new material. By the time you have worked through these two tapes, you
- will be competent in understanding and producing the expressions introduced in
- the unit. </p><p>With the C-l tape, you learn to understand the new words and structures. The
- material is presented in short conversational exchanges, first with English
- translations and later with pauses which allow you to translate. Try to give a
- complete English translation for each Chinese expression. Your goal when using
- the C-l tape is to learn the meanings of all the words and structures as they
- are used in the sentences.</p><p>With the P-l tape, you learn to put together these sentences. You learn to
- pronounce each new word and use each new structure. When the recorded
- instructions direct you to pronounce a word or say a sentence, do so out loud.
- It is important for you to hear yourself speaking Chinese, so that you will know
- whether you are pronouncing the words correctly. Making the effort to say the
- expression is a big part of learning it. It is one thing to think about how a
- sentence should be put together or how it should sound. It is another thing to
- put it together that way or make it sound that way. Your goal when using the P-l
- tape is to produce the Target List expressions in Chinese when given English
- equivalents. At the end of each P-l tape is a review of the Target List which
- you can go over until you have mastered the expressions.</p><p>At times, you may feel that the material on a tape is being presented too
- fast. You may find that there is not enough time allowed for working out the
- meaning of a sentence or saying a sentence the way you want to. When this
- happens, stop the tape. If you want to, rewind; Use the control buttons on your
- machine to make the tape manageable for you most and to get the most out of
- it.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="d0e2197"/>About the Reference List and the Reference Notes</h3></div></div></div><p>The Reference List and the Reference Notes are designed to be used before,
- during, or directly after work with the C-l and P-l tapes.</p><p>The Reference List is a summary of the C-l and P-l tapes. It contains all
- sentences which introduce new material, shoving you both the Chinese sentences
- written in romanization and their English equivalents. You will find that the
- list is printed so that either the Chinese or the English can be covered to
- allow you to test yourself on comprehension, production, or romanization of the
- sentences.</p><p>The Reference Notes give you information about grammar, pronunciation, and
- cultural usage. Some of these explanations duplicate what you hear on the C-l
- and P-l tapes. Other explanations contain new information. </p><p>You may use the Reference List and Reference Notes in various ways. For
- example, you may follow the Reference Notes as you listen to a tape, glancing at
- an exchange or stopping to read a comment whenever you want to. Or you may look
- through the Reference Notes before listening to a tape, and then use the
- Reference List while you listen, to help you keep track of where you are.
- Whichever way you decide to use these parts of a unit, remember that they are
- reference materials. Don't rely on the translations and romanizations as
- subtitles for the C-l tape or as cue cards for the P-l tape, for this would rob
- you of your chance to develop listening and responding skills.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="d0e2209"/>About the Drills</h3></div></div></div><p>The drills help you develop fluency, ease of response, and confidence. You can
- go through the drills on your own, with the drill tapes, and the teacher may
- take you through them in class as well. </p><p>Allow more than half an hour for a half-hour drill tape, since you will
- usually need to go over all or parts of the tape more than once to get full
- benefit from it. </p><p>The drills include many personal names, providing you with valuable
- pronunciation practice. However, if you find the names more than you can handle
- the first time through the tape, replace them with the pronoun <span xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="cmn-Latn-pinyin" class="foreignphrase">tā</em></span> whenever possible. Similar
- substitutions are often possible with place names. </p><p>Some of the drills involve sentences which you may find too long to understand
- or produce on your first try, and you will need to rewind for another try.
- Often, particularly the first time through a tape, you will find the pauses too
- short, and you will need to stop the tape to give yourself more time. The
- performance you should aim for with these tapes, however, is full comprehension
- and full, fluent, and accurate production while the tape rolls. </p><p>The five basic types of drills are described below.</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist"><li class="listitem"><p><span class="bold"><strong>Substitution Drills</strong></span>: The teacher
- (T) gives a pattern sentence which the student (S) repeats. Then the
- teacher gives a word or phrase (a cue) which the student substitutes
- appropriately in the original sentence. The teacher follows
- immediately with a new cue.</p><div class="example"><a id="d0e2231"/><p class="title"><strong>Example 1.1. Here is an English example of a substitution
- drill:</strong></p><div class="example-contents"><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist"><li class="listitem"><p>T: Are you an American?</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>S: Are you an American?</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>T: (cue) English</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>S: Are you English?</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>T: (cue) French </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>S: Are you French?</p></li></ul></div></div></div></li><li class="listitem"><p><span class="bold"><strong>Transformation Drills</strong></span>: On the
- basis of a model provided at the beginning of the drill, the student
- makes a certain change in each sentence the teacher says.</p><div class="example"><a id="d0e2258"/><p class="title"><strong>Example 1.2. Here is an English example of a transformation drill, in
- which the student is changing affirmative sentences into
- negative ones:</strong></p><div class="example-contents"><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist"><li class="listitem"><p>T: I'm going to the bank. </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>S: I'm not going to the bank. </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>T: I'm going to the store. </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>S: I'm not going to the store.</p></li></ul></div></div></div></li><li class="listitem"><p>Response Drills: On the basis of a model given at the beginning of
- the drill, the student responds to questions or remarks by the
- teacher as cued by the teacher.</p><div class="example"><a id="d0e2277"/><p class="title"><strong>Example 1.3. Here is an English example of a response drill:</strong></p><div class="example-contents"><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist"><li class="listitem"><p>T: What is his name?

(cue) Noss </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>S: Her name is Noss.</p></li></ul></div></div></div></li><li class="listitem"><p>Expansion Drills: The student adds something to a pattern sentence
- as cued by the teacher.</p><div class="example"><a id="d0e2296"/><p class="title"><strong>Example 1.4. Here is an English example of an expansion drill:</strong></p><div class="example-contents"><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist"><li class="listitem"><p>T: He isn't Chinese, (cue) Japanese.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>S: He isn't Chinese. He's Japanese. </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>T: She isn't German. (cue) French.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>S: She isn't German. She's French. </p></li></ul></div></div></div></li><li class="listitem"><p>Combination Drills: On the basis of a model given at the beginning
- of the drill, the student combines two phrases or sentences given by
- the teacher into a single utterance.</p><div class="example"><a id="d0e2315"/><p class="title"><strong>Example 1.5. Here is an English example of a combination drill:</strong></p><div class="example-contents"><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist"><li class="listitem"><p>T: I am reading a book.
