STUDENT WORKBOOK MODULE 5: TRANSPORTATION MODULE 6: ARRANGING A MEETING AUGUST 1979

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 wide range of government agencies and academic institutions. A Project Board was 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 Hopkins, and John Boag (CIA); Colonel John F. Elder III, Joseph C. Hutchinson, Ivy Gibian, and Major Bernard Muller-Thym (DLl); James R. Frith and John B. Ratliff III (FSI); Kazuo Shitama (NSA); Richard T. Thompson and Julia Petrov (OE); and Lieutenant Colonel George Kozoriz (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 Language Institute, Patricia O’Connor 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. Barale was 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 development. 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 comprehension and production self-study materials, and also designed the communication-based classroom activities and wrote the teacher’s guides. Lucille A. Barale and Roberta S. Barry wrote the tape scripts and the student text. By 1978 Thomas E. Madden and Susan C. Pola had Joined the staff. Led by Ms. Barale, they worked as a team to produce the materials subsequent to Module 6. All Chinese language material was prepared or selected by Chuan 0. Chao, Ying-chih Chen, Hsiao-Jung Chi, Eva Diao, Jan Hu, Tsung-mi Li, and Yunhui C. Yang, assisted for part of the time by Chieh-fang Ou Lee, Ying-ming Chen, 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 Vincent Basciano, Lisa A. Bowden, Jill W. Ellis, Donna Fong, Renee T. C. Liang, Thomas E. Madden, Susan C. Pola, and Kathleen Strype. The production of tape recordings was directed by Jose M. Ramirez of the Foreign Service Institute Recording Studio. The Chinese script was voiced by Ms. Chao, Ms. Chen, Mr. Chen, Ms. Diao, Ms. Hu, Mr. Khuo, Mr. Li, and Ms. Yang. The English script was read by Ms. Barale, Ms. Barry, Mr. Basciano, Ms. Ellis, Ms. Pola, and Ms. Strype. The graphics were produced by John McClelland of the Foreign Service Institute Audio-Visual staff, under the general supervision of Joseph A. Sadote, Chief of Audio-Visual. Standard Chinese: A Modular Approach was field-tested with the cooperation of Brown University; the Defense Language Institute, Foreign Language Center; the Foreign Service Institute; the Language Learning Center; the United States Air Force Academy; the University of Illinois; and the University of Virginia. Colonel Samuel L. Stapleton and Colonel Thomas G. Foster, Commandants of the Defense Language Institute, Foreign Language Center, authorized the DLIFLC support necessary for preparation of this edition of the course materials. This support included coordination, graphic arts, editing, typing, proofreading, printing, and materials necessary to carry out these tasks. / .'James R.

The vocabulary in this exercise is useful for traveling by bus. There are two short conversations. The first conversation takes place between an American man and a Chinese woman at a bus stop in Béijīng. The second is between the American man and the ticket seller on a bus. You will hear each conversation three times. The third time, each sentence will be followed by a pause. During each pause, translate into English. Then compare your version with the suggested translation given on tape. Here are some expressions you will need for this exercise: shàng ban; xià ban liǎngsān biéde shíhou Béihǎi Gōngyuán gaosu (to go to work; to leave work) (two or three) (other times) Ca famous park in Beijing! Calternate pronunciation for zhǔnbèi gàosong, ”to tell"J (to prepare, to get ready) This exercise will give you more practice with words used in bus travel. You will hear this conversation, between an American student and a Chinese student in Taipei, three times. After listening to it for the second time, answer the questions on the next page. Here are some expressions you will need for this exercise: shǎo sījī huì Wǒ bú tài qīngchu. (to be few) (driver of a hired vehicle) (will) (I’m not too clear on that.) QUESTIONS 1.

This exercise is a series of questions about what bus routes go where. The information you will need to answer the questions is given in Display I, a map of the Běijīng bus routes. The following example is the first item on the tape. TAPE: Cong Qian Men dào Xī Si zuò jīlù chē? YOU:   Zuò Èrshièrlù chē. TAPE: Guòle Xī Si, xià yízhàn shì bu shi Píng’ānlī? YOU: Xià yízhàn bū shi Píng’ānlī? TAPE: èrshièrlù chē shì bu shi qù Dì An Men? YOU:   Bu qù. èrshièrlù chē bú qù DÌ An Men. This exercise contains the names of many places in Běijīng, most of which you have probably never had the chance to pronounce. Therefore you will need to rely on your ability to read Pinyin romanization. This exercise gives you an opportunity to describe when one person is doing something in relation to when another person is doing something. Using the information in Display II, you will answer questions about the activities of the four persons listed there. These four persons are representatives of a Taipei publishing firm. Each will be in a particular city for one calendar month. The display shows when they will be in what cities on business. Here is an example from the exercise: TAPE: Lī Xiānsheng jīyuè qù Táizhōng gōngzuò? YOU:   Tā Jiǔyue qù Táizhōng gōngzuò. TAPE: Tā zài Táizhōngde shíhou, Zhào Xiǎojiě zài náli?

INSTRUCTIONS: Type: Fact Gathering Situation: You are involved in a survey of commuters who return home from the Dì An Men area, where three bus lines meet. You have collected information about four commuters. You need to find out the information which three colleagues have collected about twelve other commuters. Goal: To fill in information about twelve commuters on your work sheet and to identify on your map the stops where they get off. Number of Players: Groups of four students. Materials: A work sheet and map for each player. (See Sample Work Sheets and Maps, on the following pages.) Your work sheet contains the following information about four commuters: 1) the buses they take; 2) the times when they leave Dì An Men; 3) how frequently buses run on those lines at those times; U) the names of stops where the commuters get off; and 5) (if commuters work late shifts) the time of the last bus on those lines. Besides indicating the stops known by all four players, the map also identifies (in italics) the four stops at which the commuters listed on your work sheet get off. Procedure: Mingle with the players in your group to exchange information. See the example below for the procedure involved in locating stops. Example: You are Speaker 1 (Si). In this example, you are giving information rather than collecting it, to show how you read the work sheet and map. Notice how you ’’introduce" one of the commuters described on your work sheet with You yíge rén.... SI: You yíge rén shídiǎn zhōng zǒu. S2: Tā zuò jǐlù chē? SI: Tā zuò Shísānlù chē. S2: Nèige shíhou Shísānlù chē měi gé duōshao shíhou yǒu yìbān? SI: Měi gé bāfēn zhōng you yìbān. S2: Tā zuò Shísānlù chē cháo něibianr zǒu? SI: Cháo dōngbianr zǒu. S2: Tā zài nǎr xià chē?

( ) fewer people before ten o’clock. ( ) more people after ten o’clock. ( ) fewer people after ten o’clock. In addition to instructions for changing buses, you will hear, in this conversation, ne used in negative sentences containing hái. An out-of-town cadre who has come to Běijīng on official business is staying at a hostel. In this exercise she is talking to a local cadre. As you listen to the conversation for the third time, translate each sentence orally during the pause provided on tape. Then compare your translation with the suggested translation given by the speaker. Here are six words you will need to know: wánr (to enjoy oneself) dòngwùyuán liǎngcì Jiù (zoo) (two times, twice) (exactly CWǒ Jiù shi yào qù kàn xióngmāo, "Seeing the panda is exactly what I want to do."]) xióngmāo Andìngmén (panda) Ca neighborhood in Běijīng] You will hear this conversation, between two Chinese cadres in Běijīng, three times. Answer the questions below as you listen for the third time. The following expressions are in the conversation: shēng bìng                     (to get sick) dàifu                          (doctor) zhù yīyuàn                     (to stay in a hospital) QUESTIONS 1. When are the cadres going to visit their sick friend? ( ) before work ( ) after work 2. What bus do they take to go to the hospital? 3. Do they go past their stop? ( ) Yes ( ) No

This exercise is a series of questions asking how to get from one place to another by bus in Beijing. Answering these questions will give you practice in using the structures and vocabulary introduced in this unit. Display I, a map, shows bus routes in Běijīng and points at which you can transfer. Use this information to answer the questions on tape. Example TAPE: Cong Tiānqiáo dào XI dan Shāngchǎng qù, zuò Jīlù chē? YOU:   Zuo Ershilu chē. Zuodao Qian Men huan chē. TAPE: Huàn jílù chē? YOU:   Huan Ershierlu chē. TAPE: Èrshièrlù chē shì bu shi ye qù Dì An Men? YOU:   Bú qù. Ershièrlù chē bu qù Dì An Men. If it takes two buses to get to a certain place, give the number of the first bus and simply say where it is necessary to change buses. You will then be asked for the number of the second bus.

As you talk about each trip, assume that you are in fact taking the bus trip then. Display II consists of eight maps showing your bus trips. Each map shows your starting point, your destination, and the place where you are (an X.) at the time of the conversation. Use this information to answer the questions on tape. Example (using the first map) TAPE: Nǐ dào náli qù? YOU:   Wǒ dào LÍnkǒu qù. TAPE: Nǐ shi zài náli shàngde chē? YOU:   Wǒ shi zài Taiběi shàngde chē. TAPE: Wǒ yě dào LÍnkǒu qù. Women guòle Xīnzhuāng le ma? YOU: Hai měi guò ne. Notice that in the sentence Women guòle Xinzhuāng le ma? "Did we pass Xinzhuang?" the marker le is used twice. Up until now in your study, the use of two le markers in a sentence meant that the situation or action was described AS OF NOW. That is, the situation or action might change in the future. This meaning was used with regard to the amount of the object, as in Wǒ mǎile liǎngběn shū le. (I have bought two books Lso far!.) One main difference between this sentence and Women guòle Xinzhuāng le ma? is that the latter does NOT have an amount object. When two le markers are used in a sentence containing a nonamount object, the meaning is simply completed action, as in Wǒ mǎile shū le.                (I bought books.) Women guòle Xīnzhuāng le. (We passed Xinzhuang.) DISPLAY II Bus Routes in Taipei Area Bus Routes in Taipei Area In this exercise you will answer questions about the activities of five people during one day. Display III shows what the people have done or are going to do. (At the time you are answering these questions, it is 2 p.m. that day.) Example TAPE: Sun Zhènhàn shi shénme shíhou qù kànde péngyou? YOU: Tā mǎile dōngxi, jiù qù kàn péngyou qu le. TAPE: Tā shi shénme shíhou dào Dìyī Gōngsī qùde? YOU:   Hāi méi qù ne. Tā huànle qiǎn, cái dào Dìyī Gōngsī qù. As you can see, for each question you will give more information than is asked for. Sometimes you are affirming and adding to what the questioner supposed. Sometimes you are correcting his supposition and supplying the right information. Make sure that you use jiù and cai, both meaning "then," properly: When talking about a completed action, use jiù. When talking about a future action which is LATER than expected, use cai. Notice that the marker le in the first clause of a description of action sequence does not occur in the same position as the marker le in a full sentence. The marker le used in a dependent clause comes directly after the verb. You will need the phrase xià bān, "to get off work," in this exercise. DISPLAY III NOW 8-10 a.m. 10 a.m.-2 p.m. 2-U p.m. U-8 p.m. Sun Zhènhàn (John Swenson) buy things go to visit a friend change money go to the First Co.

The conversation takes place between a Canadian working in Běijīng and her Chinese acquaintance. First, you will hear the conversation without interruptions. Then it will be presented as if the Canadian cannot speak Chinese and her Chinese acquaintance cannot speak English. Each speaker’s lines will be followed by a pause, during which you will translate. Here is an example: CANADIAN: I have been in Běijīng for six months already. I haven’t yet been to the Běijīng Exhibition Hall. YOU: Wǒ lai Běijīng yījīng Huge yuè le. Wo hái měi qùguo Běijīng ZhǎnlǎnguSn ne. CHINESE: Xiànzài Běijīng ZhǎnlǎnguSn zhǎnlǎn Rìběn dōngxī. YOU: The Běijīng Exhibition Hall is now exhibiting Japanese goods. You will need these words for the exercise: zhǎnlǎn                        (to exhibit) huílai                         (to come back) zhěicì                         (this time) yìqī                           (together)

INSTRUCTIONS: Type: Tracing (This game is similar to the Communication Game in Unit 1, DIR Workbook.) Situation: An American telephones a Chinese friend to ask for directions to the bus stop nearest the friend’s house. Both persons have copies of the same map. Goal: For the "American" to trace on his map the route to the stop nearest the house of his Chinese friend. Number of Players: Pairs of students. Materials: A map for each player. (See Sample Work Sheets, on the following pages.) For simplicity, streets and avenues on the map have been numbered: Èrshier Jiē, "Twenty-second Street"; Wuhào Dàlù, "Fifth Avenue."5 The arrows on the map indicate the directions taken by buses on particular streets. Although bus stops are not shown, it is assumed that buses stop at every intersection. Procedure: The "American" chooses a starting point and says, for example, Wǒ zài Ērshièr Jiē gēn Wuhào Dàlùde lùkǒushang, "I’m at Twenty-second Street and Fifth Avenue.6Then the "Chinese friend" chooses a location for his house and gives directions to it. The "American" traces the route as his friend talks. The whole trip should be by bus—not even a single block of it on foot (except for crossing streets to catch another bus). The route need not be the most direct one from the starting point to the destination. After each round, the partners compare maps to make sure that the "American" has reached the correct destination and has followed the correct route. Players switch roles for the next round. Example: You are Speaker 1 (Si), the "American." SI: Wǒ zài Ershièr Jiē gēn Wuhào Dàlùde lùkǒushang. Dào nǐ jiā qu zěnme zǒu?

In this exercise you will have a chance to describe the way in which some activities are done. Display I contains three charts. Each chart gives information about how Lǎo Song, Xiao Zhāng, and Lao Mǎ do a certain activity. For instance, the first chart gives information on how they drive, showing how long it takes each person to drive to a particular destination. Using this data, you will decide whether they drive fast, slow, or neither fast nor slow, and answer questions about this. Use the other two charts to answer questions about studying and reading. Example TAPE: Lao Song kāi chē kāide kuài bu kuai? YOU:   Lao Song kāi chē kāide bú kuài yě bú man. TAPE: Xiǎo Zhāng ne? YOU: Xiao Zhāng kāi chē kāide tài kuài. TAPE: Lǎo Mǎ ne?

First, you will hear the conversation in Chinese without interruptions. Then it will be presented as if Miss Smith cannot speak Chinese and the other employee cannot speak English. Each speaker’s lines will be followed by a pause on tape. You will translate during these pauses. Example CHINESE: Lao Wáng shuō ni Jīntiān xiàwǔ yào qù huōchēzhàn jiē rén. Nl qù jiē shéi? YOU:      Wáng said that you are going to the railroad station to meet someone this afternoon. Who are you going to meet? SMITH:    I am going to meet my younger sister. She is coming here from Taizhong. YOU:      Wo qù jiē wǒ mèimei. Tā cōng Táizhōng lai. Notice in the first sentence above that yào indicates a future action. Yào may be translated here as ’’will,” "going to." (See Unit 6.) For this exercise you will need the word jiē, "to meet."

INSTRUCTIONS: Type: Get Me to the Train on Time Situation: It is noon. A traveler is leaving his hotel in Taipei to go to the train station by taxi. He wants to arrive at the station exactly in time for his train. He does not want to arrive early or late. Instead of telling the taxi driver the train departure time, from time to time the traveler has the driver speed up, maintain speed, slow down, or stop for awhile. Goal; To arrive at the station exactly on time (at the time given on the time card). Number of Players; Pairs of students. Materials: A work sheet for each pair of players. (See Sample Work Sheets on the following pages.) Each square on the road between the hotel and the train station represents a distance of 1 kilometer. Each circle on the timer represents 5 minutes. (A more elaborate version of the work sheet is also provided.) Two markers (such as pennies) are also needed: one (the taxi) to move along the road and one to keep track of how much time has elapsed on the timer. In addition, there are cards which tell the traveler at what time he should arrive at the station. (See Cards—Get Me to the Train on Time, on the following pages.) Three of the time cards are for use only with the simple version of the game, and three for use only with the elaborate version. The other four time cards are for both versions. Procedure: The "traveler” takes a card from the shuffled deck of time cards. The "driver" places his marker (representing the taxi) in the square in front of the hotel. He then moves the marker forward to represent the distance covered during the first 5 minutes. (Since each square represents 1 kilometer and each move represents 5 minutes, a move of one square represents a speed of 12 kilometers per hour. A move of six squares, which represents a speed of 72 kilometers per hour, should be the maximum for this city driving.) For each move after this, the "traveler" advances his marker one circle on the timer and gives the "driver" instructions to adjust his speed so that they will arrive at the station on time (you will always be starting at noon). The "driver" responds to the instructions by advancing his marker as many squares as he thinks the "traveler" wants to cover in one move. Example: You are Speaker 1, the ’’traveler.” You have drawn a time card: 12:30 (Follow your partner’s moves and your own on a work sheet.) SI: Aì, Jìchéngchē! S2: Nī dào náli? SI: Dào huochēzhàn. S2: (moving to square U for his first 5-minute move—a reasonable speed of U8 kph) Wǒ kāi zhème kuài xíng bu xíng? SI: (moving to the 5-minutes circle and computing that their average speed should be more like two squares per 5-minute move) Bù xíng. Nī kāide tài kuài le. S2: Hao. Wǒ màn yidiān kāi. (moving to square 7 as a guess at how much slower they should go) SI: (moving to the 10-minutes circle) Nī háishi (’’still”) kāide tài kuài. Bié kāi zhème kuài. S2: Hǎo. Wǒ màn yidiān kāi. (moving to square 9) SI: (moving to the 15-minutes circle) Xiànzài hǎo le. Nī kāide bú kuài yě bú màn. S2: Hāo. Wǒ jiù zhème kāi. (moving to square 11) SI: (moving to the 20-minutes circle and realizing that there are two 5-minute moves left but only one square) Qīng ni zài zhèli ting yíxià. S2: Hāo. Wǒ ting zài zhèli. (not moving) SI: (moving to the 25-minutes circle) Hāo le. Xiànzài zǒu ba! S2: (moving to square 12) Dào le. SI: (moving to the 30-minutes circle) Zhèng hāo.

This exercise will give you practice in talking about different means of transportation. In this conversation Mr. Li, a Chinese person residing outside China, is talking to Miss Hu, an acquaintance, in Taipei. Listen to the conversation twice. Then answer the questions below as you listen for the third time. These five expressions are in the conversation: Tàilùgé (Taroko Gorge Ca recreation spot in Taiwan!) shān (hill, mountain) shuí (rivers, lakes Cliterally, "water"!) huí (to return, to go back) guò liǎngge yuè (after two months have passed) The sentence You yíge xīngqī méi kànjian ni means "I haven’t seen you for a week.” You will notice in the sentence Wǒ qù kàn yige péngyǒu qu le, "I went to see a friend,” that qù appears both before and after the purpose expression. Lái or qù may precede a purpose expression, follow it, or be in both places. When the sentence ends in le, the second lái or qù is required. (A final lái or qù is toneless.) Wǒ qù kàn yige nupéngyou. Wǒ kàn yige nupéngyou qu.       (l»m going to see a girl friend.) Wǒ qù kàn yige nupéngyou qu. Wǒ kàn yige nupéngyou qu le. Wǒ qù kàn yige nupéngyou qu le. (I went to see a girl friend.) QUESTIONS 1. Where does Miss Hu’s friend live? 2. How long did she and her friend stay there? 3. How did they get to Taroko Gorge? U. Did they have to buy a ticket in advance? ( ) Yes ( ) No 5. How long did the two women stay at Taroko Gorge? 6. Where did Miss Hú go immediately after leaving Taroko Gorge? This conversation takes place in Taipei between an American student and a Chinese student. Listen to the conversation two times. Then, as you listen again, translate each sentence orally during the pause provided on tape. Compare your translation with the suggested translation given by the speaker. Here are two expressions you will need for this exercise: hǎowán hǎojíle (to be fun, to be interesting [literally, ’’good for enjoying youself’1!) (wonderful, great) This exercise consists of a conversation between a Chinese student and an American student who has just arrived in Taichung. Listen to the conversation two times. Then, as you listen again, translate each sentence orally during the pause provided on tape. Compare your translation with the suggested translation given by the speaker. Here are seven expressions you will need for this exercise: Rìyuètán (Sun-Moon Lake Ca recreation spot near TaichungJ) zhōngtou hǎowán (hour) (fun, interesting) hú (lake) huá chuán (to row a boat) yóuyǒng (to swim) sàn bù (to take a walk)

This exercise will give you practice in obtaining information needed for travel in Taiwan. You need to know two things before making travel arrangements : what types of transportation are available and whether or not you need to buy tickets in advance. Display I is a chart set up to help cue you for the questions you will need to ask and the answers you will need to give. Column 1 shows your destination for each trip. To fill in column 2, you will need to ask whether it is better to go by train or to go by bus. To fill in column 3, you will ask whether or not you need to buy tickets in advance. Example TAPE: Nǐ xiǎng dào náli qù? YOU: Wǒ xiǎng dào Yěliǔ qù. YOU:   Nǐ shuō zuò huǒchē qu hǎo ne, háishi zuò Gōnglùjù qu hǎo ne? TAPE: Méiyou huǒchē dào Yeliǔ qù. YOU:   Zuò Gōnglùjú dei xiān mǎi piào ma? TAPE: Bú bì xiān mǎi piào. Notice that, although you do not start the conversation, most of it is based on your questions. DISPLAY I DESTINATION BY BUS OR BY TRAIN? BUY TICKETS IN ADVANCE? Yeliu Tainan Jilong Taizhōng Taoyuan In this exercise you will buy train tickets at the advance-purchase window in the Taipei train station. You will have seven conversations with ticket sellers. On each occasion, you need to buy a ticket to a particular destination, keeping in mind that you must be there by a certain time. Display II provides the information you need. Column 1 shows your destinations. Column 2 shows the days on which you want to leave. Column 3 gives the latest departure times which will allow you to arrive at your destinations on time. In Taiwan, train travel is very popular. Therefore you may not always be able to take a train which is your first choice. In any case, always try to take the last train which will get you to your destination on time. Always confirm the time and date of the ticket that you finally buy. Example YOU:   Wo yào mǎi yìzhāng hòutiān qù Tǎizhōngde piào. TAPE: Ní yào zuò jidiǎn zhōngde chē? YOU: Wo yào zuò wǎnshang liùdiǎn bànde chē. TAPE: Nàbān chēde piào dōu màiwán le.

Display II is a map of China with routes marked between certain cities. You will ask three questions about each route: what the distance is, how long the trip takes by train, and how long the trip takes by plane. Ask about the routes in the order that they are numbered. Record the answers you are given; then check to see if you understood by comparing your answers to the information given in Display III. Here is an example from the tape: YOU:   Běijīng lí Shanghai you duo yuan? TAPE: You yìqiānsìbǎiqīshiduō gōnglǐ. YOU:   Zuò huochē yào duōshao shíhou? TAPE: Yào zǒu èrshisānge xiǎoshí. YOU:   Zuò fēijī yào duōshao shíhou? TAPE: Yào fēi sānge xiaoshí. For this exercise you will need the words fēijī fēi (airplane) (to fly) In this exercise you will be asked to give the information which you collected in Exercise 2. Use Display III to answer the questions on tape. Example TAPE: Běijīng lí Shànghǎi you duo yuan? YOU:   You yìqiānsìbǎiqīshiduō gōnglǐ. TAPE: Zuò huochē yào duōshao shíhou? YOU:   Yào zǒu èrshisānge xiǎoshí. TAPE: Zuò fēijī yào duōshao shíhou? YOU:   Yào fēi sānge xiǎoshí. Notice that some distances and times in the display are rounded off, using "plus," as in "l,U70+ kilometers." This calls for an answer containing the •adjectival verb -duo, as shown in the example. For this exercise you will need the words fēijl                            (airplane) fēi                               (to fly) This exercise is a conversation between a Canadian who lives in Bǎijīng and her Chinese acquaintance. You will act as an interpreter. First, you will hear the conversation in Chinese without interruptions. Then it will be presented as if the Canadian cannot speak Chinese and her acquaintance cannot speak English. Each sentence will be followed by a pause, during which you will translate. Example CANADIAN: Last year when I went to Shànghǎi for the first time, I didn’t have time to go out and enjoy myself. YOU: Qùnián wǒ dìyícì qù Shànghǎide shíhou wǒ méiyou shíjiān chūqu wǎnr. CANADIAN: Now I would like to go again. YOU: Xiànzài wǒ xiǎng zài qù yícì. CHINESE: Nī Jìhua shenme shíhou qù? YOU: When do you plan to go?

INSTRUCTIONS: Type: Handicap Race Situation: Four people are leaving one city in Taiwan to go home to four other cities in Taiwan. Each person is trying to arrange the quickest trip home, by train or by bus. A friend of theirs is trying to find out (from a travel agent) when each person will reach home and which person will arrive first. The friend also wants to find out the distance each person will travel. He has a map of Taiwan train and bus routes and the following information about the four travelers: names, common starting point, destinations, and preferred departure times (for either train or bus). The travel agent’s map includes distances (in kilometers) between adjacent cities and necessary traveling times by train and by bus for the distances. He will read off distances or travel times from his map, but he will not calculate total distances or total travel times. (NOTE FOR THE "FRIEND”: To simplify the game, waiting time at stopovers and time needed to go from train stations to bus stations, or vice versa, is not to be included in the total traveling time.) Goal: To figure out the fastest route for each traveler, the final arrival time for each traveler, and the traveler who will reach home first. Also, to work out the distance each person will travel. Number of Players: Pairs of students. Materials: A work sheet for each ’’friend” and a fact sheet for each "travel agent.” (See Sample Work Sheets and Sample Fact Sheets, on the following pages.) Procedure: The "friend” should try out various routes for each person— by train, by bus, or by any combination of the two—until the fastest route is found. Then the "friend" records the final arrival time and the distance covered by that route. He will find it helpful to take notes on his work sheet, writing down the distance from one city to the next on one side of a route and writing down the faster travel time on the other side of the route. The "travel agent" should be careful to give only distances and times listed on his fact sheet. If he is asked a question requiring the addition of distances or times, he may play dumb by saying Wǒ bù zhídào or, at most, may volunteer only information listed on his fact sheet. Example: You are Speaker 1, the "friend.” This example covers only initial questions about one possible route (in this case, the only logical one) for one of the people. SI: (Wǒ you yíge péngyou xing Lǐ. Tā xiǎng dào Táizhōng qù. Tā jìhua jlntiān sìdiǎn zhōng qù.) Li Xiānsheng xiān děi dào Xinzhu. Qíngwèn Táibei lí Xinzhu you duo yuan? S2: You liùshí gōngll.

(etc.) Additional Note: There may not be enough time for the "friend" to check out all possible routes and be sure that he has found the fastest route for each traveler. In that case, all the students in the class can discuss their findings in a concluding class discussion. Practice Points: Distances and traveling times.

This conversation includes questions and answers used in train travel in the PRC. A Canadian professor is talking to her Chinese guide. The professor is going to Nanjing from Beijing. Listen to the conversation twice. As you listen to it for the third time, translate orally during the pauses provided on tape. Compare your translations with the suggested translations given by the speaker. Here are some expressions you will need for this exercise: shūfu qǐdiǎnzhàn děng yìhuir bū yào lailai wǎngwǎng bang (to be comfortable) (station where a train originates [literally, "starting station"!!) (in a little while [pronounced děng yìhuěrJ) (don’t) (coming and going) (to help) In these two conversations you will hear questions and answers typically used in train travel. Mr. Yamada, a Japanese tourist, talks first to his Chinese guide and then to the train attendant. Mr. Yamada is going to Beijing from Shànghǎi. You will hear the conversations three times. As you listen to them for the third time, answer the questions on the next page. You will hear the following expressions in the conversations. chi (to eat) zhōngwù lú cha (noon) (green tea) hong chá bang dāngrán (black tea [literally, "red tea"!) (to help) (of course, naturally) QUESTIONS 1. On what platform is Mr. Yamada’s train? 2. The guide says she will ( ) take the small suitcase onto the train.

In this conversation two travelers have arrived with their guide at the train station in Shanghai. One of the travelers is now heading for Nanjing and the other is heading for Guilin.8 One of the travelers has a few questions for the guide. Listen to the conversation two times. As you listen to it for the third time, translate orally during the pauses provided on tape. Compare your translations with the suggested translations given by the speaker. Here are some expressions you will need for this exercise: Guilin                          Ca scenic city in the mountains of Guǎngxī Province! huílai                          (to come back) bang                            (to help)

This exercise gives you practice in using verbs with directional endings to describe actions. Display I is five pictures that show Wang Dànián, Fang Bǎolán, Hu Měilíng, and Ma Mínglí doing various things. Use the information in the display to answer the questions on tape, (item numbers on tape refer to picture numbers.) Example TAPE: Mǎ Mínglī bǎ xíngli nǎdao nǎr qu le? YOU:   Tǎ náshang lóu qu le. TAPE: Fang Bǎolán bǎ xíngli nádao nǎr qu le? YOU:   Tā náxia lou qu le. When "you" are in a picture, take into account whether the action is towards or away from you in formulating your answers. In this exercise you will practice four new words from the Reference List for this unit: náshangqu                       (to take up) náshanglai                      (to bring up) náxiaqu                         (to take down) náxialai                        (to bring down) Verbs with two-syllable directional endings, such as the four verbs above can be split. A location or a direct object is placed before the final lai or qu. This happens in the second sentence of the example above: náshang... qu. DISPLAY I This sketch shows actions which will happen. Display II gives the daily schedules for two train routes: Beijing to Shanghai and Beijing to Tàiyuán. Use this information to answer the questions on tape. Example TAPE: Dào Shanghai qùde chē měitiān you jlbān? YOU: Měitiān you sānbān. TAPE: Zǎoshang jìdiǎn zhōng kāi? YOU: Zǎoshang bādian sìshiwǔfēn kāi. TAPE: Nàibān chē you cānchē ma? YOU: You. TAPE: Huǒchē jīdiǎn zhōng dào Shànghǎi? YOU: Dìèrtiān zǎoshang, bādian èrshibāfēn dào Shànghai. The exchanges on tape take place between you and a friend looking over a train schedule, NOT between a ticket seller and a traveler. Therefore formal it.ies such as using fā chē and 2U-hour clock times are not observed. DISPLAY II PLATFORM 1 WITH WITH WITH DINING CAR DININC r CAR DINING CAR LV.

First, you will hear the conversation without interruptions. Then it will be presented as if the American cannot speak Chinese and the acquaintance cannot speak English. Each sentence will be followed by a pause, during which you will translate. Example CHINESE: You liǎngge xīngqī mei Jiàn ni le. YOU:      I haven’t seen you for two weeks. CHINESE: Ni chūmén le ba! YOU:      You have been away, I suppose? AMERICAN: That’s right. I went to Hángzhōu again. YOU:      Duì le. Wǒ yǒu dào Hángzhōu qù le.

For instance, if an American says Wo jiějie yíjlng huí guō le, translate the sentence as "My elder sister already went back to America.” In this conversation several sentences which describe completed actions do not contain the marker le for completed action. The le is omitted because it has already been clearly established in the conversation that the actions being described are completed.

INSTRUCTIONS: Type: Vacation Situation: In Taipei, four friends are planning a two-week vacation trip. They have quite different ideas about what to do and where to go and quite different financial resources available. But they put a high priority on spending the vacation together. (However, the possibility of one or more of them taking short side trips is not excluded.) Goal: To reach a consensus on the best plan for the trip. Number of Players: Groups of four students.... Materials: A work sheet for each player. (See Sample Work Sheets, on the following pages.) A simple map of Taiwan is also provided. Your work sheet names and describes the person you will represent in the game. Tell the other players in your group how you (this person) want to spend your vacation. After all players in the group have expressed their ideas for the vacation, try to agree on a final vacation plan and fill in the Consensus Plan on your work sheet. Your group will decide on stopovers and transportation. Procedure: Group discussion. Example: None, because the discussions will differ. Additional Vocabulary: gōngc hang           (factory) Wàijiāobù          (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) cānguān            (to visit as an observer) Practice Points: General review. SAMPLE WORK SHEET: Wáng Dànián (Daniel King) works at the Bank of America. He has only recently arrived, in Taiwan. He would, like to see as much of the island as possible on this trip, even if this means not seeing very much of any one place. If possible, he would like to fit in a short visit to the Bank of America branch in Gaoxiong. He has a good salary but would prefer to stay in small Chinese-style hotels and to travel by bus. He believes that such a vacation would allow him to see more of Chinese life and more of the countryside. CONSENSUS PLAN TRANSPORTATION LENGTH OF STAY REASON STOPOVER (Taipei) — — (Taipei) ——— — Zhāng Guohuá is a junior executive at the Bank of China. He would like to mix business with pleasure on his vacation, visiting a television factory in Gaoxiong and a movie theater in Tainan in connection with their loan applications. Otherwise, he is relatively flexible, although he would like to visit the east coast for the first time. He is not particularly concerned about travel and hotel expenses. In fact, he can put business-connected expenses on his expense account. CONSENSUS PLAN STOPOVER         LENGTH OF STAY       REASON            TRANSPORTATION (Taipei) ——— —— (Taipei) ———■— — Kē Bide (Peter Cook) is a student at Taiwan University. He has had very little opportunity to travel during the six months since his arrival. He would like to take full advantage of this vacation to travel. He would particularly like to spend as much time as possible in Taizhōng and Jiayi to be able to visit the famous places near these cities. He would like to take trips across the central mountain range and along the east coast. With an adequate study grant and an intense interest in seeing what there is to see, he is not particularly concerned about travel and hotel expenses. CONSENSUS PLAN STOPOVER        LENGTH OF STAY        REASON            TRANSPORTATION (Taipei) ———— ——— (Taipei) ———— ———- Qian WSidá is a junior official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During this vacation, he would like to visit his hometown of Fangliao and an older brother who lives in Suao. In both places, he can stay with relatives at no expense—an important consideration in view of his modest salary. He can even offer to include one of his traveling companions in these arrangements, or all of them if they are willing to tolerate some inconvenience. CONSENSUS PLAN LENGTH OF STAY REASON STOPOVER TRANSPORTATION (Taipei) ———— ———— (Taipei) — — Sun Bāngyàn is a student at Taiwan University. He would like to visit Donghai University in Taizhōng to look up a friend he hasn’t seen for two years. He would also like to spend as much time as possible with his family in Taidong.
