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 mater!ala to reflect
currant usage in Beijing and Taipei,

The conference resolved to develop saterials which were flexible enough
in form and content to meet the requirements of a vide range of
government agencies and academic institutions.

DIALECT LISTENING EXERCISE

A Dialect Listening Exercise is a conversation from a preceding exercise
spoken with a different pronunciation. You will learn to understand
Chinese as pronounced, by speakers of Chinese languages who have learned
Standard Chinese as a second language.

One common characteristic of dialect apeech is that words which would
start with the sounds /zh/, /ch/, and /eh/ (l.e., retroflex, or
/r/-position, sounds) in Standard Chinese are pronounced with the sounds
/z/, /c/, and /s/ (i.e., dental, or /s/-positlon, sounds). Also, initial
/r/ may be pronounced like an English 1, y_, or z_.

UNIT 1 P-2 WORKBOOK

EXERCISE 1

In this exercise you will ask for directions. You will also practice a
technique that will help you understand directions: breaking down the
directions into steps.
.

/, /

Using the "maps" of Taipei in Display I, ask directions to the place
named at the top of each map. For instance, the first place you are
looking for is the bank. So your conversation starts out like this:

- Example 1

YOU: Qīngwàn, dào yínhSng qù, slmse sSttf

CRepeat confirmation.J

TAPE: Cong zhíll vang zuS z3u. Dioic lùkBu, til vang y&u eSu, jiù dào
le.

Your second task in this exercise is to listen to the directions given
and to indicate the route by drawing a line on the appropriate map. (The
directions will be repeated.)

How your third task: breaking down the directions into steps. Using the
route you have just mapped out, take the first step of the directIona
and ask if that is what you do flrat. Then ask what comes after that.
For instance:

- Example 2

- YOU: WS xian wàng zu5 xíu, duī bu dull

TAPE: Duí le.

YOU: Ríinhdu net

TAPE: Rítnh&u, dàale lùkíu, zàl wàng you s8u,

EXERCISE 2

In this exercise you will talk about sequences of actions. You are to
describe where you vent, yesterday, where you are going today, where you
will go tomorrow, and so on*

Looking at Display II on the next page, you will see three lists showing
places you vent or will go to. Using this information, answer the
recorded questions. (When taking your answers from a list, assume that
today’s date is the date given at the top of that list.)

- Example 1

TAPE: HI Jīntiān dào níll qù?

- YOU: W5 xian dào Měiguo Yínháng qù, rSnhòu dào Tíiwān Yínháng qù.

When answering questions about a completed action, use the shi... de
construction, since you are focusing on WHERE you went, not on whether
or not you went. When using shi...de in clauses, ahi is sometimes
omitted.

- Example 2

TAPE: 2u6tiān ne?

- YOU: W?5 shi xlān dào GuÉbín Dàfàndlan qùde, ránhSu dào fànguànzi

qùde.

actions which are completed:

"YEĒ" ANSWER "NO" ANSWER YES/NO-CHOICE QUESTION

------------ ------------------ -------------------
Tá lái le. Tā méi(you) l&i. Tā l&i le meiyou?
------------ ------------------ -------------------

The speaker on tape will give the ANSWER to a question. Then you are to
ask the QUESTION that prompted the answer, using the appropriate,
yes/no-choice question.

Q; Tāmen nàli oài bu mai MSiguo sáshìt

As you know, Tāmen nàli mil KBiguo tázhì bu mail is also correct, but
the speaker will confirm with the question in the example.

Examgle^

A: Tā zSu le.

Q: Tā zíu le meiyouī

Keep in mind that méiyou can be the negative of the main verb yffu (a
state verb) as well as the marker of the negative of c depleted action.
Here is an example of the negative of yBu:

A: WS mílyou qi£n. (l don't have any money.)

Q: NI y3u meiyou qi£n? (Do you have any money!)

Here is an example of the negative of completed action;

A: W3 méiyou huàa ql&n. (I haven't changed any money.)

at any time repeat himself or check to see if the other player has
understood* The player receiving directions may at any time stop the
other player, ask him to repeat, or check up on his own understanding.

With unlabeled maps, the starting point is indicated on both copies.
With partially labeled maps, the player giving directions aske where the
other player is now. The player receiving directions chooses a starting
point and names it.

The same copies of the map, fresh copies, or different maps may be used
for additional rounds of the game.

at the bottom of your work sheet.

Procedure: Mingle with the players in your group to find out where six
people live.

In each conversation, identify people^(T)a homes known to both you and
your partner. Then work to the north, south, east, or west in asking
about what people live in these homes.

An expression such as "to the east of" will mean " immediately to the
east of," that is, the next house in that direction.

You will not be able to describe the location of a house if it is not
next to a person's house known to both you and your conversation
partner. You may say Wō zhīdao zàl n£r, keshi wg bS thldfo zīnme ohuō,
"I know where it is, but 1 don't know how to say it." (There are, of
course, ways to describe the location, One way is to Say W&ngiā
dcjngbíanr'ā£ dīsānge f&ngzi ehī Chěnjlā, "The third house to the east
of the”Kt-.gs ¹ house is the Chins' house.")

Type: Tíc-Tac-Toe

Goal: As in any game of Tic-Tac-Toe, to occupy three squares in a row.

Number of Mayers: Pair? of students.

Materials; Each player draws a Tic-Tac-Toe "board" on paper. (Each
player marks the plays on his own copy of the board.) The center square
on the board is a park surrounded by eight city Mocks. The blocks are
identified by their direction from the park.

Practice Points: Eight points of the compass-

UNIT 3 C-2 WORKBOOK

EXERCISE 1

An American and his Chinese acquaintance have Just left a movie theater
in Dōngdān (BSíjīng). They are talking In front of the theater.

You will hear the conversation three times. As you listen to it 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 three words you need to know:

Jiao (to be called ūas in Héíge gōngn^n Jiào Dōngdàn Gōngyu&n, ’’That
park is called, the Dōngdān Park."!) zǎo (to be early [used also
for "good morning"!)

zoudào (to walk to)

In this exercise the use of ahfeige, "this,” may seem strange to you. In
English, you say "That movie was really good." In Chinese, you say "this
(zhěige) movie": Zhèlge dianyIng zhēn h&o.

EXERCISE 2

Distances are discussed in this conversation between a Canadian man and
a Chinese woman. They are talking in a hotel in BSiJIng.

You will hear the conversation three tines. As you listen to it for the
third time, answer the questions below.

You need to know these expresslona:

zì

nlàn

dài biāo

QUESTIONS

(character Cof Chinese writing!) (to be pronounced, to be read aa) (to
wear a watch—dāl, "to\ear"; bi Ao, "watch")

1. Where is the Chinese woman from?

( ) Beijing ( ) Nánjlng ( ) Shanghai

2. Is Nánjīng close to ShànghEi? ( ) Yes ( ) No

How

many years did the Chinese woman attend Nánjīng University?

) t years

( ) 3 years

How

many years

has the Chinese woman been working in ESiJIng?

(

) years

( ) 3 years

5. What time of day was the conversation held?

( ) 8 o’clock

( ) 8:15 ( ) 8=30

EXERCISE 3

Again, distances are discussed by an American man and a Chinese woman.
They are in the Beijing Hotel.

You will hear the conversation three tines. Answer the questions below
as you listen for the third time.

These two new expressions are in the conversation:

Baihuō Dàlēu Cname of a department store In BSiJīngj

yfjian yīshar.g (a piece of clothing)

QUESTIONS

1. How near is the BǎihuÈ Dàlóu? ( ) faraway ( ) close-by

2. On the map below, which square represents the BǎihuS Dàlóu? (Put an X
in the appropriate square.)

[]

EXERCISE 4

A Chinese person living in Japan is visiting the PRC. He is talking with
his guide in Bíijlng/

These expressions are in the conversation:

Y3uyí Shāngdiàn (Friendship Department Store)

Hàn-Ri zìdlKn (Chinese-Japanese dictionary)

Hl-Hen zìdlín (Japaneee-Chlnese dictionary)

You have already learned that gēn can mean ’’and.” In this exercise, gén
is a prepositional verb translated as ’'with¹':

W3 gēn ta qù. (I’ll go with him.)

Notice that tū is toneless after the prepositional verb gēn. Tā keeps
its tone after the conjunction gēn, meaning ’’and":

W5 gēn tà dSu qìl le. (He and I both vent.)

There are added differences between negative sentences containing gēn,
"and,” and gēn, "with”:

W3 méíyou gēn ta qù. (I didn't go vith him.)

Wo gēn tā dou mēiyou qù. (Neither he nor I went.)

UNIT 3 P-2 WORKBOOK

EXERCISE 1

The five maps in Display I show the same area of Beijing. For each map,
ask how to get from one place to another, as indicated above the maps.
When you are given the directions, check them one sentence at a time.
(You will find it helpful to trace the route on each map, with one arrow
for each sentence.)

Example (Map 1: from the Běijīng Hotel to the XInhuá Bookstore)

YOU: Cíng Bíijīng Fāndiàn dào Xlnhuá Shūdiàn qu, zSnme tSu7

TAPE: Chūle Beijing Fàndiān cháo dōng zìSu. Dàole lùkōur chāo běl guKi.

EXERCISE 2

The arrows on the nap in Display II indicate trips that three people
will take to three cities in the PRC. The speaker on tape will ask you
questions about whether it is far from one city to another¹ and about
whether a certain person is going to a certain city.

Example'

TAPE: Shanghai lí Nanjing yuan bu yuan?

YOU: ShànghSi if NĚnjīng bù yuan.

[]

Notice the position of bù in negative answers containing the
prepositional verb if.

EXERCISES

Now you will practice modifying nouns in Chinese by forming phrases
which correspond to English ’’which" or "who" phrases.

You have learned about phrases with the marker de used BEFORE the
modified noun.

Xlhuan kàn dianyIng DE nèige xuésheng.

[]

the student who likes to watch movies

Another way to describe a person, place, or thing ia to use it in a
sentence with y£_u and FOLLOW it with the modifying phrase.

---------------------- ---------- -------------------------
Zuótiān you yíge rěn 1É1 kàn nī.
(Yesterday there was a person [who] came no see you.)
---------------------- ---------- -------------------------

For each item in this exercise, you will hear two sentences. Combine the
two into one sentence, using the second sentence to modify the first.

Example

TAPE: Tā yEu ylge JiīJie. Tā JiĚJie x&i Měiguo niàn sbū.

YOU: Tā yōu ylge jlSjie zàl Meiguo nièn shù.

UNIT 3 COMMUNICATION GAME B

INSTRUCTIONS:

Type: Avenue

Situation: The setting la Běíjīng. One person is finding out from
another how five "buildings are arranged along an avenue.

Goal: For the player asking the questions, to find out the order in
which the buildings are arranged along (one side of) the avenue; for
the*player answering the questions, to give the information correctly.

Number of Players: Pairs of students.

Materials: Each player has five cards. Each card names a building on the
imaginary Zhōngshàn Avenue. (See Cards—Avenue, on the following pages.)
Your partner’s cards match yours.

Procedure: The player who will answer questions arranges the cards in
hia hand to represent the left-to-right order of five buildings along
the avenue (in any order).

His partner asks whether one building is "near” (or "not far from”)
another or whether the building is "far from" (or "not near") another.
If the buildings are near, he asks whether one building is "alongside
of" the other. If so, he finds out whether one building is "to the left
of" or "to the right of" the other. (Remember that these term® are used
from the point of view of someone inside the building facing the front
door.) He continues until he has arranged the carda in his hand in the
correct left-to-right order.

The players exchange roles for the next round.

Example: You are Speaker 1. You have arranged your cards as follows:
^Hípíng^ *H6ngqí * *RSnmín* ^No. 8 * _(t)Xīnhufi *

Hotel Theater Market School Bookstore

Speaker 2 puts his RÉnmín Market card face-up on the table. He then
takes another card from his hand and asks

- 32: Hóngqí Dlànyīngyuàn 11 Rénmín Càishich&ng yuSn bu yufinī

- SI: Bù yu&n, Jiù zài Renmín Càishichǎngde pángbiānr.

- S2: Zài zuSbianr háishi zài yòubianr?

- SI: Zài zuSbianr.

S2 puts his H6ngqí Theater card to the left of Rénmín Market. He takes
another card from his hand and asks

- S2: XInhuá Shūdiàn lí HÉnmín CàishichKng yuKn bu yuSn?

- SI: HSn yuSn.

32 guesses that the bookstore might be on the other side of the theater
from the market:

- S2: LÍ FTÓNGQÍ DIÀNYĪNGYUÀN H&I J IN MAĪ

SI: Bú Jìn, hSn yuSn.

$2 puts the bookstore card above the other two cards on the table, since
he does not know where the bookstore is. Then he takes another card from
his hand:

SĒ: Hepíng Find1an if RÉnmín CÙishiching yuSn bu yuKnī SI; Hen yuEn.

Ē2 makes the same guess about the hotel that he made about the
bookstore:

E2: LÍ Hāngql Diànyīngyuàn hen J In ma?

SI: Duī le, hěn Jin.

52 puts the hotel card to the left of the theater card. Then he returns
to the bookstore card to see if he can put it to the left of the hotel
card:

S£í Xīnhufi Shudiàn lí Hoping F&ndiàn hen jìn mat

Bl: Bú J in, hSn yuán,

82 tries out the ease direction with his last cord:

82: Dìbǎ XiSoxuě lí Répíng Find!In hín Jin ma1 SI: Bú Jīn, hSn yuán.

B2 realises the only possible solution at this point. He places the
school card and the bookstore card in order to the right of the market
card:

82: Dibá XiScxué lí RÉnmín Caishichāng hěn Jin, Jiù tài BÉnmín
CùiBhichEngde ySubianr. XÌnhu£ Shùdiàn lí Dìbā Xuéxiào híu jin, jiù tàí
DÌU XuéxiÙode ySublanr. Shī bu shiì

SI: Duì le.

Additional Motes: The teacher may insist on full answers, and answers as
close to the questions as possible. This will require answers such as
Hépíng Fàndiàn lí Rennin CaishichSng bú Jīn., with correct placement of
ths negative adverb bu.

A bit more variety may be introduced into the game by equating rcushe qù
kéyi with hSn jīa and bù yu£n and by equating sBu&he qù tù kéyi with h?ū
yufai and bu jin. The third exchange in the example might then go like
this:

52: Cong Xīnhuú Bhūdi&i dào Rínjufn CùishichSng zěnme qù? ZJtizbe qù
keyi bu kéyiì

SI: Zúuzhe qù bù kéyi, tài yuSn.

Practice Point a; LÍ, yuSn. Jìn, tuÚbianr, ySubianr, pāngbiānr. You may
also want to practice the word ahōpgjlānr, sb in X eùì Y gēn Z-de

UNIT 4 C-2 WORKBOOK

EXERCISE 1

This exercise will give you practice following directions in a building.

Two students at a Chinese college (a Chinese girl and an American) are
talking. The setting is Taipei.

You will need to know these expressions:

cèsuí (toilet)

dulniàn (across from, opposite, facing; the side facing)

wàng (to forget)

xià 16u lai (to come downstairs)

shSng 16u qu (to go upstairs)

The full range of possibilities for going up and down stairs is

--------------- ----------------- ------------- -------------------
shàng 16u lai (come upstairs) xià lóu lai (come downstairs)
shàng lóu qu (go upstairs) xià 16u qu (go downstairs)
--------------- ----------------- ------------- -------------------

In this conversation you will hear the verb kànjian as part of a
question asking "whether." A "whether" question with kànjian, just like
one with zhidao, is in the form of a statement.

KI zhidao tū lál le meiyouí (Do you know whether he came7)

NI kànjian tā l£i le meíyou? (Did you see whether he cemel)

EXERCISE 2

Again, you will bear directions to places inside a building. Having come
to a hospital to visit a aick friend, Mr. Levine etope in the lobby to
ask for directions. He is talking to a receptionist st the information
desk. (On the next page is a floor plan of the first and second floors
of the hospital.)

Listen to the conversation two times. Then answer the questions below as
you listen again.

You will hear these words in the conversation:

iSuti (staircase, stairway, stairs)

duīmiShir (across from, opposite, facing; the side facing)

yàoshl (if)

nà (then, in that case)

One of the sentences in this exercise may be a little complicated to
unravel.

-------------------------- ---------
W3 zōu n&ge 16utī Jin?
(I go on which staircase close?)
-------------------------- ---------

”Which staircase would be closest for me to go upstairs on?"

This sentence has the same form as Nji sange xuésheng, nSge faKo? "Which
of these three students is better (best)7" except that what 1b being
compared is described in a sentence instead of a word or phrase.

Something else that may give you a little difficulty is the expression
lout I nail, as in Dàole lōutī n&li, wàng you z5u, ’’When you get to the
staircase, go to the right.” In Chinese, the object of a verb of motion
or location must be a place word. Any word that is not considered an
Inherent place word must be followed by zhèli or nàll when used as a
place word (following zài, dao, etc.).

QUESTIONS

1. According to the receptionist, which staircase is closer to Mr. MK's
room?

( ) the staircase beside the information desk

( ) the staircase across the lobby

2. Did the receptionist say that Mr. Levins could take the elevator?

( ) Yes { ) No

EXERCISE 3

This exercise is based on two short conversations: between an American
tourist in Taipei and a hotel employee and between the American and a
waitress. .

Listen to the conversations tvice. Then anever the questions be lav as
you listen again.

Here is a new expression you will hear:

ylbēi {a cup of Cyìbēi kāfēi, "a cup of coffee’’; ytbēi Ch6_(t) "a cup

U, Which way is the barbershop as you get off the elevator?

( } to the left ( ) to the right

J. Is the washroom on the right or left at the rest of the restaurant?

( 1 on the right ( ) on the left

DIALECT LISTENING EXERCISE

As you remember, a Dialect Listening Exercise is a conversation from a
preceding exercise spoken with a different pronunciation. You will learn
to understand Chinese as pronounced by speakers of Chinese languages who
have learned Standard Chinese as & second language.

One common characteristic of dialect speech is that words which would
start with the sounds /zh/, /ch/, and /eh/ (i.e._(t) retroflex, or
/r/-position, sounds) in Standard Chinese are pronounced with the aounde
/z/, /c/, and /s/ (i.e., dental, or ^/-position, sounda). Also, Initial
/r/ may be pronounced like an English 1_, or z.

Xli3

UNIT 4 P-2 WORKBOOK

EXERCISE 1

Dieplay I Written above

contains six floor plana of a Taipei department store, each floor plan
are the directions you will ask for.

Ask how to get from one place to another. When you are given the
directions, check them one sentence at a time. (You will find it helpful
to trace the route on the map, with one arrow for each sentence.)

Example (Floor Plan 1: from the entrance to the dishware department)

YOU: Cáng zhège dSmín dào mài pínziwSnde dlfang QÙ, zīnme zSu?

TAPE: Duì le.

Notice that the non-Bíijīng pronunciation for "this," ’'that," and
"which” (zhège, nàLge, n£ge) la used. When the person speaking to you
uses these forms, it is considered polite for you to use them also. (See

UNIT 4 COMMUNICATION GAME B

INSTRUCTIONS:

Type; Three-Dimensional Tic-Tac-Tce (This game is played like the Unit 2
Communication Game C, with the following differences.)

Situation: The setting is Taipei.

Goal: To occupy four squares Im a row. (A row may be on one floor; it
may be four rooms in the same position on the four floors; or it may be
rooms on different floors which would make a row if on the same floor.)

Materials: A work sheet for each player. (See Sample Work Sheeta, on the
following pages.) The "board” represents a bxU arrangement of rooms on
each of four floors of a building. The board is equivalent to the UxUxU
three-dimensional Tic-Tac-Toe board shown at the right of the work
sheet.

Procedure: You ’’take¹¹ a room by giving directions to it. The first
player puts his X in a room. He then gives his partner directions to
that room from the building entrance. After placing an X in that room,
the second player puts his 0 in another room and gives the first player
directions from the building entrance.

Directions to the next X and 0 may either start from the building
entrance again or start from the last X and 0 (to be decided by the
teacher or agreed upon between players).

Example 1: (starting from the entrance each time) You are Speaker 1,
marking Xs. Your moves and your opponent's are shown on the first Sample
Work Sheet, with numbers indicating the order of moves.

Example 2: (continuous routes) This dialogue would be the same as the
last example until the directions to X-3 and 0-U, which go as follows:

SI: Chūle men (of X-l) wàng zuǒ zǒu, zài wàng zuǒ zǒu, zuǒbian jiù shi
diàntī. Zuà diàntī dào sānlǒu. Xiàle diàntī wàng yàu zǒu, zài wàng you

Additional ìīptes: You may need the expression gǒudao t6u, "to go to the
end foí the coiTidor}."

In the original version of this game, a simpler 3x3x3 board was used..
However, students pointed out that the board permitted the first player
to take the center room on the second floor and enjoy an overwhelming
advantage. If you do not have time to complete the more complicated game
with this new txtah board, at least you will have had a good workout
giving directions- in a building.

Practice Points: Directions in a building.

UNIT 5 C*2 WORKBOOK

EXERCISE 1

You will hear addresses given in these conversations between an American
man and two Chinese women in Taipei.

Listen to the conversations twice. Then answer the questions below as
you listen again.

You need to know the expression ban Jiā, "to move one's residence,"

QUESTIONS

- 1. How many times has Mr. Zhāng moved? ( ) Once ( ) Twice

- 2. How far is Section 2 from Section 1?

( ) Very close ( } Very far

( ) Not too far { ) Not too close

- 3. What is the number of the lane in the first address that the
American hears on thia tape?

U. What is the number of the alley in the second address that the
American hears on this tape?

EXERCISE 2

In this exercise you will find street directions containing the verb
guB, "to cross," "to pass." You will translate orally two short
conversations.

The setting is the streets of ĒĚiJīng. A Chinese man who lives overseas
asks two women for directions.

You will hear the conversations three times. As you listen to them 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 some expressions you need to know for this exercise:

dàgài (probably)

huí (the opposite direction Cwàng huí z5u, "to go back"])

hútBngr (a narrow street, a lane CBÍijīng])

i6o

sSuguā le {to have walked past)

cuihlo (it would be best)

The diagram below shows, where conversations A and B take place and the
route followed by the man after receiving directions.

[]

Notice that in giving directions "crossing two streets" is equivalent to
"reaching the third intersection."

Dàole dìsinge lùkíur, ySubianr Jiù ahi Nánwèi Hútàngr.

(When you have reached the third intersection, Nfinwèl Alley ia on the
right.)

(Cross two streets, and the third alley on the right is Nfinwài Alley.)

Guò li&ngtiáo Jiē, ydubíanr dìflāntlAo hútSngr Jiù shi Nfinwèi HútSngr.

EXERCISE 3

These three short conversations include complicated street addresses in
Taipei. An American man who can speak Chinese but can not read it has
Just stepped off a bus. He is trying to find a friend's house. He asks
for directions as he walks along.

Listen to the conversations twice. Then give your translation of each
sentence during the pause provided. Compare your translations with the
translations given on tape.

UNIT 5 COMMUNICATION GAME

INSTRUCTIONS:

Type: Tracing (This game is aim! Tar to the Unit 1 Communication Game.)

Situation: An American ia asking a Chinese friend for directions over
the phone. The American la calling from a store at one of two locations:
either from No. 0, Sānmín Road, Section 1, or from No. 1, Sānmín Road,
Section 2.

Both people have copies of the same map, but the American can. not read
the street names and numbers, which are in characters.

Goal: To have the same route marked on both maps, or for the "American"
to be able to locate the address he is asking for.

Number of Players: Pairs of students.

Materials: The "American" has an unlabeled copy of the map and a list of
addresses. The "Chinese friend" has a labeled copy of the map. Both
copies of the map show the two possible starting points as circles with
arrows in them.

Procedure: The "American" chooses one of the addresses from his list and
asks for directions to It. The "Chinese friend" finds out where the
"American" is and gives him directions to the address (marking the route
on his map if he wants to). The "American" (tracing the route on his map
if he wants to) locates the address. The two players compare maps.

Further rounds may be played with the same copies of the map. Players
switch roles for each round.

Example: You are Speaker 1, the "American," You have chosen an address
to ask for:

Additional Note: Notice the construction zSudaq, "to go aa far as," "to
go to," which you have seen in zBudao tSu, ¹¹ to go to the end (of the
corridor)": ZBudao zuBbian dīèrge lùkfiu, "Go to the second intersection
on the left/¹

Practice Points: Everything you have learned about giving directions,
