AUGUST 1979

PREFACE

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.

UNIT 1 P-2 WORKBOOK

EXERCISE 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?

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.

EXERCISE 2

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?

In this exercise you take the part of a visitor in Beijing. You are
interested in visiting some of the sights in the suburbs of the city.
Before you make plans to visit these places, you need to find out
information concerning the transportation going there. (What bus? How
often do they run? How late do they run?)

Display III lists the places you are thinking of visiting. Fill in the
information about transportation to each place.

Here is an example from the tape:

EXERCISE 4

You will act as an interpreter in this conversation between two students
in Taipei. The woman has recently come from the United States.

First, you will hear the conversation without interruptions. Then it
will be presented as if the woman cannot speak Chinese and the man
cannot speak English. Each speaker’s lines will be followed by a pause
on tape, during which you will translate.

Example

AMERICAN: Today is Sunday. Where do you want to go?

YOU:       JIntián shi Xīngqltiān. Nǐ yào dào náli qù?

CHINESE:   W8 xiǎng dào Xlméndīng qù kàn diànyǐng.

zǒu ba                          (let’s go)

UNIT 1 COMMUNICATION GAME

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?

-   SI: Tā zài Guǒzǐ Jiàn xià chē.

-   S2: Cong Dì Ān Mén zuò Jǐzhàn jiù dào le?

-   SI: Zuò wùzhàn jiù dào le.

-   S2: Zuìhòu yìbān chē shi jǐdiān zhōng?

-   SI: Shi shíyīdiān zhōng.

This example does not exhaust the ways information could he asked for
and given. For example, the location of the stop could have been
established as follows:

-   S2: Guǒzǐ Jiàn zài nǎr?

-   SI: Guòle Běixīnqiáor xià yízhàn Jiù shì.

Practice Points: Everything in the unit.

UNIT 2 P-2 WORKBOOK

EXERCISE 1

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.

Bus Route Number

EXERCISE 2

In this exercise you will answer questions about eight bus trips you are
taking in Taiwan. 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.)

EXERCISE 3

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.

  ---------------------------- ------------ ---------------------- -------------- ----------------------

EXERCISE 4

This exercise gives you a chance to review vocabulary and structures by
acting as an interpreter. 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)

UNIT 2 COMMUNICATION GAME

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?

S2: Zuò Shísānhào gōnggòng qìchē dào Sānshi Jiē, zài huàn Èrshihào
gōnggòng qìchē dào Bahào Dàlù xià chē jiù shì.

-   SI: Wo xiān zuò Shísānhào gōnggòng qìchē, duì bu dui?

-   S2: Duì le.

-   SI: Ránhòu huàn Jǐhào gōnggòng qìchē?

-   S2: Huàn Èrshihào gōnggòng qìchē

-   SI: Yào dào Sānshi Jiē cái huàn Ershihào gōnggòng qìchē, duì bu dui?

-   S2: Duì le.

-   SI: Nǐ shuō wō zuòdao náli xià chē?

-   S2: Dào Báhào Dàlù. Wǒ Jiā Jiù zài qìchēzhànde duìmiàn.

-   SI: Xièxie, xiěxie.

-   S2: Bu kèqi.

Practice Points: Taking and changing city buses.

UNIT 3 P-2 WORKBOOK

EXERCISE 1

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.

EXERCISE 4

You will act as an interpreter in this conversation between Miss Smith
and a fellow employee, who work for an international firm in Taipei.

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."

UNIT 3 COMMUNICATION GAME

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. (’’Right on time.”)

Practice Points: Manner adverbs and imperatives.

UNIT 4 P-2 WORKBOOK

EXERCISE 1

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.

  ---------- -- --

EXERCISE 2

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.

EXERCISE 3

You will act as an interpreter in this conversation between a British
student who has Just arrived at Beijing University and a fellow student.

First, you will hear the conversation without interruptions. Then it
will be presented as if the British student cannot speak Chinese and the
other student cannot speak English. Each speaker’s lines will be
followed by a pause, during which you will translate.

Example

BRITISH

STUDENT: The weather today is really beautiful. I would like to go out
and enjoy myself.

YOU:      Jíntiān tiānqi zhēn hǎo. Wǒ xiǎng chūqu wǎnrwanr.

CHINESE

STUDENT: Ni xiǎng qù nǎr a?

YOU:      Where do you want to go?

For this exercise you will need the words tiānqi
                          (weather)

dòngwuyuan                       (zoo)

wǎnr                             (to play, to relax, to enjoy oneself)

chūzū qìchē                       (taxi LBeiJīngZl)

UNIT 4 COMMUNICATION GAME

INSTRUCTIONS:

Type: Voting

Situation: The setting is Taipei. You and seven others are trying to
settle by vote the details of a proposed weekend trip.

Goal: To determine majority opinion on each issue, or the fact that
opinion is split evenly (X, Y dōu kéyi), by asking the opinions of other
players and filling in your work sheet.

Number of Players: Groups of eight students or fewer.

Materials: A work sheet for each player. (See Sample Work Sheets, on the
following pages.) On these sheets are listed the issues to be decided
and the choices for each issue. Your opinions are indicated by Xs on
your work sheet. There are sheets for Player 1 through Player 8.

If a group has fewer than eight players, some or all players should take
two or more work sheets and report the votes of spouses or friends as
well as their own.

Procedure: Mingle with the other players to exchange information. Make
all inquiries in the form of choice questions. Use a variety of
choicequestion patterns.

Example: You are Speaker 2. In this example you are giving information
rather than asking questions.

-   SI: Nī yào dào Xīnzhú qù háishi yào dào Jīlóng qù?

-   S2: Wǒ yào dào Jīlóng qù.

-   SI: Nī yào jīntiān qù ne haishi míngtiān qù?

EXERCISE 2

In this exercise you will ask for information about trips.

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

EXERCISE 3

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)

UNIT 5 COMMUNICATION GAME

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.

-   SI: Zuò huǒchē yào zǒu duōshao shíhou?

-   S2: Dàgài yào zǒu yíge zhōngtou.

-   SI: Zuò Gōnglùjú man yidian ba?

-   S2: Duì le, yào zǒu liǎngge duō zhōngtou. (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.

UNIT 6 P-2 WORKBOOK

EXERCISE 1

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.

EXERCISE 2

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.

EXERCISE 3

In this exercise you will review the vocabulary and structures
introduced in this unit. You will test your comprehension and production
of the material by acting as an interpreter.

This conversation takes place between Mrs. Smith, a Canadian official
recently arrived in Beijing, and a representative of the Chinese
government who is assigned to the Canadian Embassy.

First, you will hear the conversation without interruptions. Then it
will be presented as if the Canadian cannot speak Chinese and the other
employee cannot speak English. Each speaker’s lines will be followed by
a pause, during which you will translate.

Example

CANADIAN: I would like to go to see Xiān.

YOU:       Wǒ xiǎng qù Xiān kànkan.

CHINESE:   Nǐ dǎsuan shénme shíhou qù?

YOU:       When do you plan to go?

CANADIAN:  Next Monday.

YOU:       Xià Xīngqīyī.

In this exercise you will need the word Xiān, the capital city of Shanxi
Province. You will also be using some of the additional required
vocabulary from previous units:

dǎsuan                          (to plan)

lāibují                         (can’t make it in time)

UNIT 6 COMMUNICATION GAME

Type: Train Routes

Situation: You have already collected the following information from
five travelers leaving the Beijing train station: 1) destinations, 2)
departure times, 3) track numbers for departing trains, and U) EITHER
the distance OR the traveling time to destinations. Three colleagues
have collected similar information from other travelers. (Each person
talked to five travelers.)

You need to collect this information from your colleagues and figure out
the routes which four trains will follow (i.e., the stops on the routes,
in sequence).

Goal: To write the names of the destinations of twenty travelers on your
work sheet, under the headings for particular tracks and departure
times. Also, to number the stops on each train route in the order of
their distances from Beijing.

Number of Players: Groups of four students.

Materials: A work sheet for each player. (See Sample Work Sheets, on the
following pages.)

Procedure: Mingle with the players in your group to exchange
information.

Example: You are Speaker 1. In this example, you are giving information
rather than collecting it. Notice how you "introduce” one of the
travelers listed on your work sheet with You yige rén....

Additional Note: There may not be enough time for the "traveler" to
check out all possible routes and be sure that he has found the fastest
route. In that case, students in the class who used identical fact
sheets as "travelers" can discuss their findings at the conclusion of
the game.

Practice Points: Traveling times, departure times, and arrival times.

EXERCISE 3

You will act as an interpreter in this conversation between a
representative of the American government (assigned to Běijīng) and a
Chinese acquaintance.

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 this exercise you will need the following:

huí guō                        (to return to one’s native country)

rènao                          (to be lively/bustling/noisy)

To translate the verb huí guō correctly in any conversation, take into
account the nationality of the speaker. 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.

UNIT 8 COMMUNICATION GAME

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. On his limited budget, the economy of staying with
his family is an important consideration. To the friends who are
planning the vacation, it is also important that he can offer to include
them in these arrangements.
