    12. 

  12.                     structures presented in each unit. The tapes give you explanations and practice
    13. 

  13.                     on the new material. By the time you have worked through these two tapes, you
    14. 

  14.                     will be competent in understanding and producing the expressions introduced in
    15. 

  15.                     the unit. </p><p>With the C-l tape, you learn to understand the new words and structures. The
    16. 

  16.                     material is presented in short conversational exchanges, first with English
    17. 

  17.                     translations and later with pauses which allow you to translate. Try to give a
    18. 

  18.                     complete English translation for each Chinese expression. Your goal when using
    19. 

  19.                     the C-l tape is to learn the meanings of all the words and structures as they
    20. 

  20.                     are used in the sentences.</p><p>With the P-l tape, you learn to put together these sentences. You learn to
    21. 

  21.                     pronounce each new word and use each new structure. When the recorded
    22. 

  22.                     instructions direct you to pronounce a word or say a sentence, do so out loud.
    23. 

  23.                     It is important for you to hear yourself speaking Chinese, so that you will know
    24. 

  24.                     whether you are pronouncing the words correctly. Making the effort to say the
    25. 

  25.                     expression is a big part of learning it. It is one thing to think about how a
    26. 

  26.                     sentence should be put together or how it should sound. It is another thing to
    27. 

  27.                     put it together that way or make it sound that way. Your goal when using the P-l
    28. 

  28.                     tape is to produce the Target List expressions in Chinese when given English
    29. 

  29.                     equivalents. At the end of each P-l tape is a review of the Target List which
    30. 

  30.                     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
    31. 

  31.                     fast. You may find that there is not enough time allowed for working out the
    32. 

  32.                     meaning of a sentence or saying a sentence the way you want to. When this
    33. 

  33.                     happens, stop the tape. If you want to, rewind; Use the control buttons on your
    34. 

  34.                     machine to make the tape manageable for you most and to get the most out of
    35.

    36. 

  36.                     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
    37. 

  37.                     sentences which introduce new material, shoving you both the Chinese sentences
    38. 

  38.                     written in romanization and their English equivalents. You will find that the
    39. 

  39.                     list is printed so that either the Chinese or the English can be covered to
    40. 

  40.                     allow you to test yourself on comprehension, production, or romanization of the
    41. 

  41.                     sentences.</p><p>The Reference Notes give you information about grammar, pronunciation, and
    42. 

  42.                     cultural usage. Some of these explanations duplicate what you hear on the C-l
    43. 

  43.                     and P-l tapes. Other explanations contain new information. </p><p>You may use the Reference List and Reference Notes in various ways. For
    44. 

  44.                     example, you may follow the Reference Notes as you listen to a tape, glancing at
    45. 

  45.                     an exchange or stopping to read a comment whenever you want to. Or you may look
    46. 

  46.                     through the Reference Notes before listening to a tape, and then use the
    47. 

  47.                     Reference List while you listen, to help you keep track of where you are.
    48. 

  48.                     Whichever way you decide to use these parts of a unit, remember that they are
    49. 

  49.                     reference materials. Don't rely on the translations and romanizations as
    50. 

  50.                     subtitles for the C-l tape or as cue cards for the P-l tape, for this would rob
    51. 

  51.                     you of your chance to develop listening and responding skills.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="d5e1318"/>About the Drills</h4></div></div></div><p>The drills help you develop fluency, ease of response, and confidence. You can
    52. 

  52.                     go through the drills on your own, with the drill tapes, and the teacher may
    53. 

  53.                     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

  54.                     usually need to go over all or parts of the tape more than once to get full
    55. 

  55.                     benefit from it. </p><p>The drills include many personal names, providing you with valuable
    56. 

  56.                     pronunciation practice. However, if you find the names more than you can handle
    57. 

  57.                     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
    58. 

  58.                     substitutions are often possible with place names. </p><p>Some of the drills involve sentences which you may find too long to understand
    59. 

  59.                     or produce on your first try, and you will need to rewind for another try.
    60. 

  60.                     Often, particularly the first time through a tape, you will find the pauses too
    61. 

  61.                     short, and you will need to stop the tape to give yourself more time. The
    62. 

  62.                     performance you should aim for with these tapes, however, is full comprehension
    63. 

  63.                     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" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p><span class="bold"><strong>Substitution Drills</strong></span>: The teacher
