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,

YOU: Hào- Xiíxie.

For this exercise you need to know the word xl&cxue, "grade school,¹¹ "primary school."

4. From the elementary school

1. To the bank

2. From the bank to

5. From the university

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.

(Notice that in the second clause there in no sht.)

EXERCISE 3

Tn this exercise you will aak two types of questions which call for yes/no answers. You have-learned bow to ask yes/no questions by offering a choice between the "yes” answer and the "no* answer.

It is also possible to follow this pattern to form questions about actions which are completed:

"yeē" answer "no" answer            yes/no-choice QUESTION

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.

Example 1

At Tāmen nàli bú m£i MĒlguo rázhì.

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.)

Q:   HI huàn qi&n le mélyouī      (Eave you changed any money?)

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:

(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

5. What time of day was the conversation held?

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/

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.                                  •

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)

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.

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.

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.

TyP-g' Tracing {Thia game la played like the Unit 1 Communication Came, except that the setting is BĚiJlng and you have additional words and structures at your disposal. Be sure to use Bīijíng expressions such as cháo běj guai and lùdōng. }

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 * _tXīnhufi *

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.

CARDS—AVENUE

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 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.

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

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.

”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 of tea 'D)

QUESTIONS

• 1. The dining room is on what floor? ( ) 1st ( ) 2nd ( ) 3rd

• 2. The barbershop is on what floor? ( ) 1st ( ) 2nd { ) 3rd

• 3. Which way io the dining room a* you get off the elevator?

{ ) to the left { ) to the ritóit

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.

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.

SI: Jìnle daměn yìzhí zǒu, jiù shi diàntī. Zuǒ diàntī dào èrlǒu. Xiale diàntī wàng yāu z3u, zài wàng y3u zǒu. Yǒubian dìyíge men jiù shì.

(etc.)

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 zǒu. Youbian dìyíge měn Jiù shì.

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.

SAMPLE WORK SHEETS:

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.

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.
