Reading and Writing LessonsForeign Institute Service Preface The purpose of this book (Vol. I & II) is to help students lay a solid foundation
in reading and writing Chinese characters, the most challenging job for American
students learning Chinese. The 500 Chinese characters taught in this book are carefully
selected from Modules I - V in the Chinese Basic Course. The criteria for selection of
those characters are their high frequency of use in everyday situations and their
productiveness in forming multi-syllable words. The exercises for each lesson can be categorized into two parts. The first part
provides students with systematic knowledge about Chinese characters,. It covers
everything from the stroke orders of writing a character to the way of consulting
Chinese dictionaries, from the character’s radical system to the frequently used sound
elements. The second part includes different kinds of reading and writing exercises:
character analysis, character writing, words formation, filling in characters in a
sentence; translating English sentences into Chinese characters, reading and translating
Chinese text. All these exercises are designed to parallel with the CBC Modules and
enhance students, language proficiency and FLO sub-skills. Two indexes of the 500
characters are provided in the front of each volume for students’ convenient reference. Finally, I want to acknowledge all instructors in CB2 and CB3 for their contributions
to this book during its four-year long development process. Special thanks are given to
Ms. Jane Shaw and Mr. Qi Fu who participated in developing the reading and writing
exercises at the early stage. I also want to express my sincere appreciation to Mr.
Biller and Mr. Yuanzhang Chen for spending their precious time to review and revise the
final draft of this book.Patrick Lin500 Characters for writingLesson CharactersAmount1一二三四五六七八九十我你他她是谁同志182王太i先生姓小姐您好吗不叫什么名字呢183中国哪儿的人们山东上海美英法曰本174这那请问爱夫老家现在也还北京百千万175两里个子没有父母亲哥弟妹跟男女朋友住186从刖学校很大下头外地工作书几年月号后187相买卖和会用笔写图共多少钱要块毛分贝188师告诉班长可以说话去吃西每次位给饭189因为白己能喝酒做衣服听画文种件食水都1810才把新床桌收来公房间真旧极了得客半1811今明昨天午开飞机坐火车到时经过S走吧1812i期起只早晚办事必忙电气已看见所街情1813部音坏就应该检查点回别站让题对紧店1714第课室考试汉容易难念答钟表差讲习发觉1815快慢常关门睡系语定样声计算脑张军1716活运动高兴厂边懂合然平非代参观兀欢1717找广台员m进出最X民华视闻社义务送行1818虽知执病帮修理连花各备百设休息愿1819但化正着决心许方白寄空信打业喜报1620普通支面特认变久岁安旅区数解Ī欠场16215记改影使馆希望面议示切祝加教1522忘拿菜单红茶奇怪爸妈录错句杯它1623意思借词典带手脚纸管谢楼等交1424医院眼痛注身体死饱洗脸药干饿]1425更订怕黑夜黄蓝舒利退提比冷费双1526直往当条路旁远近约总向货力离汽1527拾被风重左右零景搬座停原便候道1528跑包价口助并且科及邮政M]如果1529司金尺码河低占遇谈租寓接留1430玩笑哭步象主鸡穿肉青牛鱼任孩商越16Pinyin Index for 500 CharactersCharacterPinvinEnglishExample CombinationsLesson八bāeight十八 八个 八级风1二èrtwo十二 二十 三十二个人1九jiǔnine十九 九十 九死一生1六liùsix六个 十六 三百六1你nǐyou你的 你们 你好1七qīseven七个 七十 七上八下1三sānthree十三 三十 三点钟1是shìto be, is, are, am是你 他是谁 可是1十shíten十个 八十 十分1谁(誰)shuí/shéiwho, whom谁是 是谁 谁人1四sìfour十四 四十 四面八方1他tāhe, him他们 是他 他的1她tāshe, her她是谁 是她 她们1同tóngbe same一同 同样 同学1我wǒI, me我的 我们 是我1五wǔfive五月 十五 五光十色1一yīone一定 万一 一..就1志zhìwill, ideal同志 志气 意志I不bùno;

Characters 汉字的历史 The History
of Chinese Characters The written forms of the Chinese language are characters which are
square in shape, accordingly they are called “square characters” As one
of the oldest written languages in the world, Chinese characters have at
least 4,000 years history. 繁体字和简体字 The
Long-Form and Short-Form Characters The total number of Chinese characters is estimated at more than
55,000. Among them, merely 3,000 are used for everyday purposes. Some Chinese characters have two forms: the long-form and the
shortforai. In 1957, the Chinese government announced 2106 simplified
characters to be used in all newspapers, books, and official documents
in Mainland China. However, for various reasons, long-form characters are still used in
