 PREFACE
     Standard Chinese: A Modular Approach originated in an interagency conference held at the Foreign Service Institute in August 1973 to address the need generally felt in the U.S. Government language training community for improving and updating Chinese materials to reflect current usage in Beijing and Taipei.
     The conference resolved to develop materials which were flexible enough in form and content to meet the requirements of a vide range of government agencies and academic institutions.
     A Project Board vas established consisting of representatives of the Central Intelligence Agency Language Learning Center, the Defense Language Institute, the State Department's Foreign Service Institute, the Cryptologic School of the National Security Agency, and the U.S. Office of Education, later Joined by the Canadian Forces Foreign Language School. The representatives have included Arthur T. McNeill, John Hopkins9 John Boag» and Hugh Clayton (CIA); Colonel John F, Elder III, Joseph C. Hutchinson, Ivy Gibian» Major Bernard Muller-Thym, and Colonel Roland W. Flemming (DLl); James R. Frith and John B. Ratliff III (FSI); Kazuo Shitama (NSA); Richard T. Thomson and Julia Petrov (OE)\ and Lieutenant Colonel George Kosoriz (CFFLS).
     The Project Board set up the Chinese Core Curriculum Project in 197^ in space provided at the Foreign Service Institute. Each of the six U.S. and Canadian government agencies provided funds and other assistance.
     Gerard P. Kok was appointed project coordinator, and a planning council was formed consisting of Mr. Kok, Frances Li of the Defense LangUjage Institute, Patricia 0fConnor of the University of Texas, Earl M. Rickerson of the Language Learning Center, and James Wrenn of Brown University. In the fall of 1977> Lucille A. Barole vas appointed deputy project coordinator. , David W. Dellinger of the Language Learning Center and Charles R. Sheehan of ' the Foreign Service Institute also served on the planning council and contributed material to the project. The planning council drew up the original overall design for the materials and met regularly to review their develojanent.
     Writers for the first half of the materials were John H. T. Harvey, Lucille A. Barale, and Roberta S. Barry, who worked in close cooperation with the planning council and with the Chinese staff of the Foreign Service Institute. Mr. Harvey developed the instructional formats of the conqprehen-sion and production self-study materials， and also designed the comnamica* tion-'based classroom activities and wrote the teacher1 s guides. Ms. Baxale and Ms. Barry wrote the tape scripts and the student text. From 1978 until the project1s completion, writers for the course were Ms. Barale and Thomas E. Madden. They revised the field-test editions of the first six core modules and acconxpanying optional modules, and produced the materials subsequent to Module 6.
     All Chinese language material vas prepared or selected by Chuan Ouyang Chaoy Yunhui Chao, Ying-chih Chen, Hsiao-Jung Chi, Eva Diao, Jan Hu, and Tsung-ml Li» assisted for part of the time by Leslie L. H. Chang, Chieh-fang Ou Lee» Ying-mlng Chen9 and Joseph Yu Hsu Wang. Anna Affholder, Mei-li Chen, and Henry Khuo helped in the preparation of a preliminary corpus of dialogues.
     Administrative assistance was provided at various times by Joseph Abraham» Vincent Basciano, Lisa A. Bowden, Jill W. Ellis, Donna Fong, Judith J. Kieda, Renee T. C. Liang, Susan C. Pola, Peggy Ann Spitzer, and Kathleen Strype.
     The production of tape recordings was directed "by Jose M. Ramirez of the Foreign Service Institute Recording Studio. The Chinese script vas voiced by Mr. Chang, Ms. Chao, Ms. Chen, Mr. Chen, Ms. Diao, Ms* Hu, Mr. Khuo» and Mr. Li. The English script vas read "by Ms. Barale, Ms, Barry, Mr. Basciano, Ms. Ellis, Mr. Madden» Ms. Pola, and Ms. Strype.
     The graphics vere originally produced by John McClelland of the Foreign Service Institute Audio-Visual staff, under the general supervision of Joseph A. Sadote, unit chief.
     Standard Chinese: A Modular Approach vas field-tested with the cooperation of Brown University, the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center» the Foreign Service Institute, the CIA Language Learning Center, the United States Air Force Academy* the University of Illinois9 and the University of Virginia.

Hov to Study an Optional-Module Tape
     The format of the optional modules is quite different from the format of the core modules 9 although both focus on vhat you need to know to deal vith particular practical situations.
     Each tape of an optional module is roughly equivalent to the five different tapes of a core-module unit, in the sense, at least， that it is intended as a self-contained presentation of a set of vords and structures • Actually, however, an optional-module tape is closer to a combination of the C-l and P-l tapes of a core-module unit with almost all explanations left in the notes• Moreover, an optional-module tape introduces considerably more vocabulary than a core-module unit.
     Each tape is divided into several parts. Each part introduces words and sentences, some of them for comprehension only, next reviews all production items, and then reviews conqprehension in extended dialogues•
     You may have found that you could work through the C-l and P-l tapes of a core-module unit a single time each, perhaps going back over a few sections once or twice* You are almost sure to find, however, that you need to work through an optional-module tape more than once, perhaps frequently backing up and frequently stopping to read the Notes.
     When a new word or sentence is introduced» there is a 'pause on the tape before you hear the Chinese. On your first time through the tape, you may use this pause to gīance at the word or sentence in the Reference List. On your next time through the tape, you may use it to try to say the Chinese» using the Chinese after the pause as a confirmation.
     In the dialogues at the end of each part, there are very short pauses "between sentences. These should be Just long enough for you to stop and start the tape without missing anything. Stop the tape whenever you want to think over the previous sentence or try to translate it*

U. WSmen yko slge bāozi•	We want four baozi.
5. WSmen yio It&ngvan suan lā	We want two bowls of sour

NOTES ON PABT I
     chi: 'to eat1• The verb ?to eat* is often expressed using a general object compound, chi fiba, instead of the simple verb chi,
   Nl chi fān le ma?	Have you eaten?
   WS h&i měi chi fan.	I haven?t eaten yet.
     8ulbiiln: This word meaning 9 as you please \ or more literally 1following convenience1, has a variety of uses.
   Nl sulbi^n mSi ba.	Buy what you vant •
Nl q^L "bu qu? Su£ nlde	Are you going? Do vhat you
 Min ba«	like.
     guōtiē: This has been translated here as 1fried dumpling*, but actually a guōtiē differs from a dumpling in several respects. We usually think of a dumpling as a solid lump of leavened dough dropped in soup to cook. A guōtiē, however, is made of thin, uzxleavened dough, which serves as a wrapper for a filling. This filling may 'be Chinese cabbagef port, beef, leunb, or any combination, thereof. Secondly, a guōtiē is not dropped in soup, but is steamed and fried, so that the bottom is crisp and the top is soft.
      bāozi: This is a round of steamed bread filled with salty stuffing (cabbage* pork, beef, shrimp, etc.) or sveet stuffing (red bean puree, valnuts, almonds, etc.)• The steamed bread is made from a raised dough and forms a thick bun, somewhat similar in concept to a hamburger.
      suan li tang; A thick spicy soup made of pork, white bean curd, "red bean curd11 (actually dried chicken or pork blood), dried tiger lily flovers, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and egg.
      li&ngw&n, • •: The word for ’bovl,,沾n, is used as a counter
 here.

                                                  airay.
        NOTES ON THE DIALOGUE
     Hii ycto Jige bāozi, zSnmeyilng?: The toneless syllable Ji-means fa few1 or Several1. It may be difficult to distinguish between Jige, fa few1, from Jj^e, fhow many1 in rapid speech. Usually there will be other clues such as intonation and context to help you distinguish them. This is discussed again in Unit 3 of the Directions Module•
     Bň yko diSn teli duō le«: The phrase bň, yko is used to mean 'don't* in sentences expressing & cosm&nd. You111 learn more about this in the Transportat ion Module. The marker le for nev situation Is used here to reinforce the idea of 'excessive1. Whenever & speaker says something is excessive, he is actually saying that it has BECOME excessive.
     Nlmen diSn dian shěnme?: The first vord di8n is the verb ，to order *. The second word dian (from yidiSn, fa littlef) means 1 some 會•
     Ershige guotiě. stge bāozi: You can tell from the amdunt ordered that the guōtiē are more or less bite-sized, while the 'baozi are larger.

M: Hen h&o, hen hǎo.	Good, good*
NOTES ON THE DIALOGUE
     xlSochldiiLn: This is a small place where you can grab something to eat. (Xl&ochI means 'snack*.) If you are in a city in China, you are probably not far from one. A xi&ochldl&n is often run t>y one or two people. It may be arranged so that the cooking area faces the street, in which case you'll probably valk through the kitchen as you head for a table• Putting the kitchen at the front, facing the street» makes for better ventilation and allows people on the street to see and smell vhat is being cooked. Inside you are likely to find small tables without tablecloths» and stools• There is generally no menu, some of the dishes may be written on a blackboard or on,red pieces of paper vhich are hung on the vail. Since the xiSochldi^n is often a small operation, it may only offer a few things or It may specialize in serving one type of food, such as noodles or dumplings. The vord xlSo in xl8ochidiāna refers not to the size of the establishment9 but to the types of food offered.
     Tāmen d5u y5u shgpme?: The word d5u in this sentence refers to the object» not the subject. In other words, the sentence Is translated as 'What all do they have?, in this context• In another conversation the same sentence ml典 t mean 'What do they all have?'
     This type of question with d5u expects an ansver vith more than one item mentioned. The d5u may be thought to refer to the object in the answer•
    Nl dōu mSi 8hěnme le?	What all did you buyT
     W8 n&lle shlge baozi9 sanjin I bought ten baozi, thr-e plngguo, liilping qlshnī.	catties of apples 9 six
                                       bottles of soda.
But notice that in the ansver dōu is NOT used even though the object is plural in number or a series of Items.

     nitSrSu nlitns Thia dish consists of noodles in soup vith pieces of beef. The word for f,beef• is nifirdu, literally 'cow1, nifi, and •meat、rdu.

     rdusl mlto： This is noodles in soup vith shrtds of pork and vegetables. Actually» the word rōu means sinqply fmeatf» not •pork1. But the l>uic meat of China has alvays been pork, and therefore r8u on a menu refers to pork unless otherwise specified.
     shěnmedes This vord, used after a series of nouns, means •and so on, or 'etcetera*.

It Is common to find restaurants representing most of these schools of cooking in many cities in China.

       NOTES ON PART I
     kandedong: This is a compound verb of result meaning fcan read and understand (It)1. Its negative counterpart is klnbudSng, han’t read and understand (it)1. See Meeting Module• Reference Notes for Unit 1 for a discussion of compound verbs of result.

                                        his writing.
     HvULnghua Yň: The Seiaena Sohelegeli is translated here as ,yellow fish1. It is sometimes referred to in Chinese as hu£ng yu. In English, it is also called croaker, dnan fish, or China Bass. Since the hiaĀnghua yd is a fish native to China, any American fish name given to it, such as croaker, is at "best only a rough equivalent.
     H$ng3hao Y<i: The fred-cooked* style of cooking involves steving the meat, or in this case, the fish9 in soy sauce, sherry and water. It is called 1red-cooked* because of the reddish^rown color the spy sauce gives the dish.
     Cōngbao NitirSu: Beef with Spring Onions. Literally, this means 1 spring onions-ftried beef1. Bao is another method of cooking. It is similar to chao *sautěf 9 but uses less oil and highet heat.
     ZhllcSi r5usī Tfog: Although translated here as * Szechvan Hot Pickled Cabbage • zh^ckl Is properly made from snuBtard green roots preserved with salt and hot pepper. It can be used to flavor foods or it can be eaten by itself.
     mlfan: This word refers to cooked rice* It can also refer to rice dishes, such as chao f^n.
     huǎJuSr: Flower-rolls are made of steamed bread, vhich 1)&8 been shaped into layers resembling petals.
     8u£n ylxiS zhSng: The verb su&n means 'to figure, to calculate 9. Suan zhang means ,to figure accounts*, *to calculate the bill1. Here the vord ytxi& follows the verb. The use of ylxlā after a verb has an effect similar to reduplicating the verb, that is it makes the action more casual.
     zkl helbSnshang xiSzhe ne: *Zhe is the marker of DURATION of actions and states. It indicates that an action or state lasted for an amount of time. The marker ne, on the other hand, marks ONGOING (and therefore present) actions or states. In this expression the marker -zhe tells us that at some time the dishes CONTINUE
in the state of being written on the blackboard, and the marker ne tells us that that state is GOING ON now. -Zhe is used in sentences to describe activities which last over a period of time, whether that time is past, present or future. A verb plus »zhe in Chinese often corresponds to the ^ing1 form of the vert in English.
ZSuzhe qxi kěyi ma?	Can you get there by walking?
   W5men zudzhe shu5 hua.	Let1s sit awhile and talk,
  hSo bu hao?	okay?

     g5ngn6ngbfng： This expression is a conglomeration of the vords for worker, g5ngren> f farmer1, noncain• and •soldier1, blnR. Notice that the first syllable (or only syllable) of each is used to make this abbreviated form.
     chidelll: This is a compound verb of result vith the syllable -de- inserted between the action verb and the ending verb. This
pattern is .used to express the meaning !able to _1 _ Usually
the second verb of the compound expresses the specific result of the action, but here the verb l£i expresses only the general idea of result. (The verb iti in this position has "been called a ’dunmiy result ending9.边 can also be used this way.) Although no specific result is expressed here, the pattern is still used because it expresses the idea of ^can1 or !able to、

      NOTES AFTER DIALOGUE IN PART I
     Notice that in this situation the cafeteria attendant does not let the foreigners stand in line for their food. Instead he waits on them getting them special food vhen possible. The Chinese feel that foreigners are their guests and should be treated accordingly.
     W5 bu dōu kandedSng: Notice that the American voman chooses a rather indirect way of letting the Chinese attendant know that she cannot read. In the lines following, the attendant ansvers back simply suggesting some of the more tasty dishes, a courteous and face-saving response.

 NOTES FOLLOWING PART II DIALOGUE
      Most of the entertaining at a Chinese dinner party takes place at the dinner table, although there is some tea drinking and chatting both before and after the meal in other rooms. The dinner is served at a leisurely pace so that each dish may be savored and talked about. A good dish is appreciated for its appearance as much as its taste, texture and aroma. As each dish is eaten, toasts will be made* The host will start off *by toasting the guest of honor and then other guests as a group. As the evening progresses he will toast each guest in turn and each guest will probably propose a toast of his own in honor of the host. A strongly flavored liquor (gaollang	a milder rice wine (huSng
 Jiu) • or beer may *be served. Guests usually drink only vhen toasting. If youfd like to take a drink of something you either propose a toast or catch someon's eye and silently toast each other.
      m&ximar chi In sentences expressing commands or requests f an adjectival verb describing manner precedes the main vert.
Kuāi yidiSr kai!	Drive a little faster!
    K\xki l&i!	Come here quickly!
     In the sentence, mitnmar chi, the adjectival vert coming before the main verb, m&n， is reduplicated with the second syllable changing to a high tone. This also happens in a few other Instances•
   Kuilkuarde chī!	Quickly eat!
  成ohārde zud!	Do it veil!
