  <h1>The graphic parsing method for Chinese language</h1>
  <p>As an analytical approach plays a major role in the learning
  of Chinese language, you are required to have some knowledge of
  Chinese grammar and grammatical terminology. One of the simplest
  ways of doing this is to use two axes to make a cross, with the
  two sides dividing the components of a sentence up for parsing.
  This will help you to understand the relationship between the
  components.</p>
  <p>The following two examples demonstrate how to parse.</p>
  <ol>
    <li>
      <br />
      <table class="table2">
        <tbody>
          <tr>
            <th colspan="2">"These old methods are completely
            absurd."</th>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>
              <p>Subject</p>
            </td>
            <td>
              <p>Predicate</p>
            </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>
              <p>methods (noun)</p>
            </td>
            <td>
              <p>← are (verb) absurd (adjective)</p>
            </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>
              <p>↑ ↑</p>
            </td>
            <td>
              <p>↑</p>
            </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>
              <p>these (specifier) | old (adjective)</p>
            </td>
            <td>
              <p>completely (adverb)</p>
            </td>
          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table>
    </li>
    <li>
      <table class="table2">
        <tbody>
          <tr>
            <th colspan="2">"We teach our students at Oxford using
            an old fashioned method."</th>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>Subject</td>
            <td>Predicate</td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td rowspan="6">We (pronoun)</td>
            <td>← teach (verb) students (noun)</td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>at (prep)Oxford (prop n.) our (adj)</td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td><br /></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>using (verb) method &gt;(noun)</td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td><br /></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>an (article) old-fashioned (adj)</td>
          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table>
    </li>
  </ol>
  <p>It is a good idea to take out a few sentences for analysis
  from each lesson by using this method; it will be of great
  benefit to your reading skills when you are at a more advanced
  stage of learning.</p>
