MODULE 5: TRANSPORTATION MODULE 6: ARRANGING A MEETING

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.

EXERCISE 3

In this exercise you will act as an interpreter.

You will hear a telephone conversation between a representative of the
American government who is assigned to Beijing and a Chinese
acquaintance. Then you will hear the conversation as if the American
cannot speak Chinese and the acquaintance cannot speak English. Each
speaker's lines will be followed by a pause, during which you will
translate.

Example

CHINESE:   Wei.

YOU:       Hello.

AMERICAN:  Is this Section Chief Fang?

YOU:       Wei, shi Fang Kēzhǎng ma?

CHINESE:   Shì a, ni shi něiwèi?

YOU:       Yes. Who is this?

For this exercise you will need the word huídelái, "to be able to get
back in time."

You will probably come up with some translations which differ from the
suggested translations on tape. The suggested translations are generally
close to translations in the Reference List, but your versions may also
be correct.

UNIT 1 COMMUNICATION GAME

INSTRUCTIONS:

Type: When and Where?

Situation: You are telephoning a business acquaintance to make an
appointment for the following day. Both of you already have several
appointments for that day in different parts of the downtown area of a
city in Taiwan.

Goal: To agree on a time and place for your meeting that will allow you
as much time together as possible.

Number of Players: Groups of four students.

Materials: A work sheet for each player. (See Sample Work Sheets, on the
following pages.) Your name and the names of the three other people in
your group are given at the top of your work sheet.

On each work sheet is a partially labeled map of the downtown area. Each
player knows certain places not known to his acquaintances. Each
player’s work sheet also includes that person’s schedule for the
following day.

Procedure: Before starting, the four players in a group should introduce
themselves to each other, so that players can ask for others by their
names.

Talk to each player in your group. Either player in a pair may take the
initiative and play the caller.

When it is more convenient, a meeting may be arranged at a coffeehouse,
restaurant, or hotel rather than at your office or the other person’s
office. If the meeting place is not known to the other person, you may
either describe its location or arrange to meet first at a place that is
known to him.

Example: You are Speaker 1.

UNIT 2 P-2 WORKBOOK

EXERCISE 1

In this exercise you will practice translating from English into
Chinese. The sentences include the words for "any,” ’’none," "all," and
"some."*

First, you will hear an English sentence. Translate it into Chinese.
Then compare your translation with the suggested translation given by
the speaker.

Example

TAPE: Anyone can read a newspaper.

YOU: Shéi dōu néng kàn bào.

TAPE: Shéi dōu néng kàn bào.

You may wish to go through this exercise more than once. Practice the
sentences until you have mastered them.

EXERCISE 2

In this exercise you will take part in five conversations. You will
answer questions in terms of "all," "some," "none," and "any."

In each conversation you will talk with someone who asks your opinion or
advice from time to time. Display I indicates how you should respond to
the questions. Use this information to form complete responses.

Example (In Conversation 1 you are George Duffy, who is assigned to the
Canadian Embassy in Beijing. You are talking with a Chinese staff
member.)

TAPE: Qiáozhì Dǎfēi, wǒ zhīdào nīmen hǎo Jiǔ méi qù kàn diànyīng le.
Xiànzài you yige diànyīng, hen hǎo, Nī yào bu yao wǒ gǎi nīmen mǎi

EXERCISE 3

In this conversation you will act as an interpreter. A Canadian
government representative (assigned to Béijīng) is telephoning a member
of the Chinese government.

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

Example

  ----------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  CHINESE:    Wài, Měidàsī.
  YOU:        Hello. Department of American and Oceanic Affairs.
  AMERICAN:   I am Katherine Martin of the Canadian Embassy. I have something I wish to discuss with Department Chief Li.
  YOU:        Wo shi Jiānádà Dàshiguande Kǎilàn Mǎdīng. Wo you yíjiàn shì xīwang gēn Li Sīzhǎng jiǎngyiJiang.
  ----------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You will need to know the expression dù jià, "to spend one’s vacation."

Although some of your translations may differ from the suggestions on
tape, your versions may also be correct. If you are not sure about a
particular sentence, jot it down and ask your instructor about it.

UNIT 2 COMMUNICATION GAME

INSTRUCTIONS:

Type: When and Where? (This game is similar to the Unit 1 Communication
Game.)

Situation: You are telephoning three acquaintances in Beijing to make
business appointments for the following day. You start with an open
schedule for that day, but the time set for an appointment with one
acquaintance will no longer be available for others. Each meeting will
be either at your office or at the other person’s office.

Goal: To make appointments with the three people.

Number of Players: Groups of four students.

Materials: A work sheet for each player. (See Sample Work Sheets, on the
following pages.) Your work sheet is a map of Beijing bus routes. It
also indicates (in italics) your name, the place where you work, and the
name and location of the bus stop nearest your office. The names of your
acquaintances are also included.

Procedure: Before starting the game, you and the other players in your
group introduce yourselves. Then begin the phone calls.

For each conversation, one player places the call. The other player
receives the call, first in the role of his secretary (either putting
the call through or giving a reason for asking the caller to telephone
later and suggesting a time). Then the player who receives the call
answers the phone as himself, the acquaintance.

When the caller talks with his acquaintance (either right away or after
calling back), he negotiates a time and place for the next day’s
meeting.

Travel time to and from appointments is to be calculated on the basis of
five minutes per bus stop.

Example: You are Speaker 1.

-   SI: Wài.’ Shi Qian Tóngzhì ma?

-   S2: Shi a. Nín guìxìng?

-   SI: Wǒ xing Xu, wo jiào Xú Dàlong.

C: Shìde.

Miss Smith, let me introduce a friend to you. This is professor Yang,
who teaches political science at Taiwan University. This is Miss Smith.

How are you, Professor Yang?

How are-you, Miss Smith? You can speak Chinese!

I like to speak, but I don’t speak well.

Don’t be so modest. How many years have you studied Chinese?

I have studied for only one year; I speak very little.

When Chinese people speak, you can understand it all, I imagine.

Some I can understand, and some I can’t. I still want to study a little
more.

I think that after you have lived here a year or two not only will you
be able to understand any Chinese you hear but you will also speak as
well as a Chinese person.

You are too flattering. I don’t have many Chinese friends now. I hope
that later, when I have more Chinese friends and when I also have more
opportunity to speak, my Chinese will get a little better.

That’s right.

*Only the untranslated version of this conversation is on the C-l tape.
The conversation also appears as Exercise 1 on the C-2 tape.

C: E..., xià Xīngqīliù wǎnshang wǒ qīngle Jīge péngyou zài jiāli chi

C: Qīdiǎn zhōng.

Uh..., Saturday of next week I have invited a few friends to have a
simple meal at my house. I hope that you will be able to come.

That’s too kind of you. But. I don’t speak Chinese well. I’m afraid that
the party wouldn’t be interesting for you and your friends.

Why is it necessary to be so polite? I haven’t invited anyone special.
These friends are very informal.

Why don’t you come! I live at 52 Dàlī Street.

All right, thank you. May I ask, on Saturday of next week at what time
in the evening is it I"the party!?

Seven o’clock.

UNIT 3 COMMUNICATION GAME

INSTRUCTIONS:

Type: Rating Panel

Situation: The setting is Taizhong. You and. three other people have
given ratings in speaking and understanding Chinese to five students
(identified by their adopted Chinese names). You must now find out what
ratings have been given by the other panel members and rank the students
in both skills.

Goal: To rank the five students in speaking and understanding Chinese.

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. Because yíyàng is introduced in this unit, all information
should be exchanged in the form of comparative statements such as ”1
think Mr. Zhōu speaks better than Mr. Jiang,” and "I think Mr. MS speaks
as well as Mr. Jiāng.”

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

-   SI: Wáng Xiānsheng shuō Zhōngguo huǎ bl Lī Xiānsheng shuō Zhōngguo
    huǎ shuōde hǎo ma?

-   S2: Duì le , Wáng Xiānsheng bl Lī Xiānsheng shuōde hǎo.

-   SI: Lī Xiānsheng bī Liú Xiānsheng shuōde hǎo ma?

-   S2: Bù, Lī Xiansheng gēn Liú Xiānsheng shuōde yíyǎng hǎo.

-   SI: Lī Xiānsheng gēn Zhāng Xiānsheng shuōde yíyǎng hǎo ma?

-   S2: Bù, Lī Xiānsheng bī Zhāng Xiānsheng shuōde hǎo. (etc..)

Additional Note: You must ask enough questions so that a player’s
answers indicate clearly in which ability level students should be
placed. This means that you have to remember the answers to several
questions (asking the questions again, if necessary). You may decide to
make tentative pencil check marks during an interview.

Practice Points: Yíyǎng and other comparative constructions.

UNIT 5 P-2 WORKBOOK

EXERCISE 1

In this exercise you will make business and. social telephone calls.
Display I is the list of calls you want to make today. Taking the part
of Mary White, an American working in Taipei, call the people on your
list.

Example

TAPE: Wai, Wài j iāobǔ.

YOU: Wài. Wo zhǎo Li Sīzhǎng shuo huà.

TAPE: Wài, nín shi nǎr a?

YOU: Wǒ shi Bai Mǎlì.

YOU: Hǎo. Wǒ míngtiān shíyīdiǎn zhong lāi.

If you compare this example with item 1 in Display I, you will see that
your lines are largely determined by the display information. Generally,
your replies to comments on tape will be fairly close to the text
Reference List sentences. However, your way of saying something may be
different from the confirmation which follows. If you are not sure that
your way is correct, ask your instructor.

UNIT 5 COMMUNICATION GAME

INSTRUCTIONS:

Type: Moving

Situation: The setting is Taipei. An American is moving his possessions
from one house to another, by car, with the help of a Chinese friend.
Each person tells the other exactly what to do, step by step.

Goal: To move the possessions out of the old house; to load them onto
and into the car; to take them to the new house; and to move them into
it, arranging the possessions as they were in the old house.

Number of Players: Pairs of students.

Materials: A "board” and a set of cards for each pair of movers. (See
Sample Boards and Cards, on the following pages•)

The board represents both the house the American is moving from and the
house he is moving into. A side view of the house is shown: upstairs,
downstairs, garage, outside the front door, and outside the garage.
(There is no door from the garage to the inside of the house.)

The cards represent the items to be moved: two small tables, four
chairs, a television set, and some luggage—as well as the car and the
two movers. (The first Sample Board shows one possible arrangement of
the cards in the house.)

Procedure: Each pair of movers arranges the cards on the board. The two
players take turns giving each other instructions.

Each time you are told to GO somewhere, move the card that represents
you. (Notice that you must take into account your position and your
partner’s position to use the directional verbs lai and q,ù correctly.)
When you are told to TAKE something somewhere, move your card and the
card for the item. When you are told to PUT something somewhere, move
only the card for the item. You may leave your card beside the car as
you load and unload it.

Make each instruction as simple as possible. Examples of single
instructions are: ”Go inside,” ’’Come upstairs," "Take (something)
outside," "Bring (something) downstairs," "Put (something) on the car,"
"Take (something) out of the car," "Drive the car to the new house,"
"Drive the car into the garage." If your partner is downstairs, telling
him to go to the garage may actually be broken down into two
instructions: telling him to go outside and then telling him to go to
the garage (perhaps even telling him, finally, to go into the garage).
If your partner gives you instructions which may be divided into smaller
steps, you will break the task down as you do each step and report it.

Example: You are Speaker 1, the "American.” (You may want to trace your
route and the route of your "Chinese friend” on the first Sample Board.)
This example is simplified: You are moving only two pieces of furniture,
and the example ends as you reach the new house.

-   SI: Nǐ jìnqu.

-   S2: Hǎo. Nǐ J ìnlai.

-   SI: Hǎo. Nǐ bǎ zhuōzi bānchuqu. Ebān, "to move"]

SI: Hǎo. Nǐ xià chē.

S2: Hǎo. Bǎ yǐzi fàng zai qìchē lǐtou. Eqìchē lǐtou, specifically,
"inside the car" Fàng zai chēshang would also mean "to put in the car"
in most cases, although it could mean, more literally, "to put on the
car."]

SI: Hǎo. Bǎ zhuōzi fàng zai qìchē shàngtou. Eqìchē shàngtou,
specifically, "on top of the car" for most speakers]

  ------ ------ ---------------------------
  S2:    Hǎo.   Nǐ shàng chē qu.
  SI:    Hǎo.   Nǐ yě shàng chē lai.
  S2:    Hǎo.   Nǐ kāi dao xīn fǎngzi qu.

  S2:    Hǎo.   Bǎ yǐzi nǎxialai.
  (etc   .)     
  ------ ------ ---------------------------

Additional Note: The word dì means "ground," "earth."

Practice Points: Bǎ and directional-verb expressions.

[]

NOTE: The items to be moved are shown in their starting/ending
positions. There are two ways to squeeze several cards into one room:
either put one or more cards up near the ceiling, or cover one card with
another (as two chair cards are shown here covering two others).

Oh, Miss Fane. How are you. I haven’t seen you for a long time.

Yes, it has been a long time. How are things going? Are you busy?

Not particularly busy.

Section Chief LÍn, I have something I would like to talk with you about
in person. Do you have time tomorrow?

Yes. Eh..., Miss Fane, there is a newly opened Szechuanese restaurant
that is very close-by. I’ll treat you to lunch tomorrow. Okay? We can
talk while we are eating.

I couldn’t let you do that. You have already treated me many times. This
time I’ll treat you.

Don’t be so polite. I’ll treat you. Although I haven’t gone there yet,
Mr. Lī Dànián has gone there to eat. He says the food at that restaurant
is as good as the food at that Hunanese restaurant, and it’s even
cheaper. They also have many dishes you can’t find in other places.

Is that so! If it’s both good and cheap, we certainly must go there to
eat once. All right, what time shall we meet tomorrow?

How would twelve-thirty be? Would that be all right for you?

Twelve-thirty would be fine. Well then, I’ll go to your place.

UNIT 6 COMMUNICATION GAME

INSTRUCTIONS:

Type: Restaurant Rating

Situation: You and your friend are in a hotel in Taipei. You are asking
him to compare four Taipei restaurants in terms of quality of food,
price, and distance from your hotel.

Goal: For the player who is asking questions to place the restaurant
cards on his rating sheet ("board”) so that the arrangement matches the
ratings on his partner’s fact sheet.

Number of Players: Pairs of students.

Materials: A ’’board," a fact sheet, and a deck of cards for each pair
of students. (See Sample "Boards," Sample Fact Sheets, and
Cards—Restaurant Rating, on the following pages.)

One player, who is supposed to know about the restaurants, has a fact
sheet. Under the headings Food, Price, and Distance, the restaurants are
rated, with the DESIRABLE end of the scales on the right-hand side of
the fact sheet.

The other player, who will ask questions, has a rating "board" and a
deck of twelve cards. The name of a restaurant and a heading (Food,
Price, or Distance) appear on each card.

The first Sample "Board" includes cards as they would be arranged at the
conclusion of a game. Under the Food heading, Nánběi Xiao Chīdiàn and
Dōngmén Canting are rated as having the same quality food. Yúyuán has
better food, and Dàhuá Fàndiàn has worse food. Under Price, Yúyuán and
and Nánběi Xiǎo Chīdiàn are rated as having cheap food, and Dàhuá
Fàndiàn and Dōngmén Cāntīng as having expensive food.* All four
restaurants are the same distance from your hotel.**

Procedure: The player asking questions draws the cards one at a time
from the shuffled deck. The first card drawn for each heading (Food,
Price, Distance) is placed in the middle of the appropriate scale. If
the first Price card is "Yúyuán," the player puts it in the middle box
under Price. When other Price cards are drawn, the player asks how the
restaurants compare in price and arranges the cards accordingly. For the
price card

-------------------------------------------------------------------------_(K)----------------------

*Notice that the two boxes at the ends of the scale are used for the two
categories under the Price heading.

**Notice that the middle box on the scale is used for the single
category under the Distance heading.

"Dàhuá Fàndiàn," he might ask Dàhuá Fàndiànde cài bl Yúyuánde cài guì
ma? If the answer is affirmative, he puts the "Dàhuá Fàndiàn” card in
the left-hand box on the scale and the "Yúyuán" card in the right-hand
box. The player continues to arrange all the cards until he is satisfied
that his "board” duplicates his partner’s fact sheet.

All questions must be yes/no questions involving comparisons. All
answers must be comparison statements. (You may want to make an
occasional additional comment that goes beyond these restrictions,
however.)

The player who asks the questions could obtain all needed information by
using only the bi construction. But he should try out all comparison
constructions which have been introduced in this course. Similarly, the
other player should use the full range of comparison constructions in
his answers. (This may sometimes lead to evasive answers, but these will
inspire follow-up questions.)

Example: You are Speaker 2. Speaker 1 is asking the questions. This
example shows the final three moves made on the Sample ’’Board” with
cards.

-   SI: (taking his next card) Dàhuá Fàndiànde cài bi Nánběi Xiǎo
    Chīdiànde cài hāo ma?

-   S2: Bù, Dàhuá Fàndiànde cài méiyou Nánběi Xiǎo Chīdiànde cài nàme
    hǎo.

-   SI: (putting the "Dàhuá Fàndiàn (food)" card in the left-hand box
    under the Food heading and moving the two cards already there to the
    middle box) Xièxie.

(taking his next card) Yuyuán lí zhèr y3u Dōngmén Canting lí zhèr nàme

-   S2: Duì le, Yúyuán lí zhèr you Dōngmén Canting lí zhèr nàme yuan.

-   S2: Bù, Yúyuán gēn Dōngmén Canting lí zhèr yíyàng yuǎn.

-   SI: (putting his "Yúyuán (distance)" card in the middle box under
    the Distance heading, with the other cards) Hǎo.

(taking his last card) Dōngmén Cāntīngde cài bī Nánbéi Xiǎo Chīdiànde

UNIT 7 COMMUNICATION GAME

INSTRUCTIONS:

Type: Who’s Who

Situation: The setting is Taipei. A friend is teaching you to recognize
pictures of several people and is also telling you several biographical
facts about each person. Then you help your friend learn the same
things.

Goal: To learn to recognize the faces and to associate the biographical
facts with the faces.

Number of Players: Pairs of students.

Materials: A deck of flash cards for each pair of students. (See Flash
Cards, on the following pages.) On one side of each card is a face and a
symbol indicating sex (<J for a male and ? for a female). On the other
side, biographical facts about that person are given: name, college,
graduation year, and major field of study. All of the people listed on
the cards are Americans with adopted Chinese names.

Set 1 flash cards are for Round 1 of the game. Set 2 cards are for the
second round. (Partners switch roles for a second round.)

Procedure: The flash cards are placed face up between the two players.
Either player may choose a card to be discussed. The "teacher” picks up
that card so that he can read the back, while the ’’student” sees only
the face on the card. The two players then discuss the person described
on the card until the "student" is reasonably familiar with the
information about that person. Then another card is chosen.

The "student" or the "teacher" may at any time ask to review a card
discussed earlier. The "student" may test himself on any card at any
time, and the "teacher" may test his partner on any card at any time.
The "teacher" may ask the "student" whether he recognizes a face,
whether he remembers who the person is, whether he has forgotton where
the person went to college, and so forth.

Example: You are Speaker 1, the "teacher." You are checking to see if
your "student" remembers information about a person described on a card
which was studied previously.

-   SI: Nī rènshi bu renshi zhèige rén?

-   S2: Wo bú rènshi ta.

-   SI: Nī wàng le, tā shi MS Mínglī.

-   S2: òu, wǒ xiSngqilai le. ("Now I remember." Exiang, "to think,"
    plus qīlái, literally, "to rise"!)

UNIT 8 P-2 WORKBOOK

EXERCISE 1

In this translation exercise you will review some of the important
grammar points covered, in the Meeting Module: comparisons, "any"
statements, compound verbs of result, and sentences containing bǎ.

First, you will hear an English sentence. Translate it into Chinese.
Then, you will hear a suggested translation.

Example

TAPE: One. Can you walk up here?

YOU:   Nī zǒudeshànglái ma?

TAPE: Two. He gave the apples to his little sister.

YOU:   Tā bǎ píngguǒ gěi tā mèimei le.

You are learning from each attempt to produce constructions like these.
You may wish to repeat the exercise several times.

EXERCISE 2

In this exercise you will review the aspect markers you have learned:
two types of le, guo, and ne.

Display I lists people who studied, are studying, and will study English
(four people) and French (four people). It shows the dates and duration
of the studies. Use this information to answer the questions on tape.

Example

TAPE: Chen Guóquān xuéguo Yīngwén ma?

YOU:   Xuéguo.

TAPE: Tā wué Yīngwén, xuéle duo jiu?

YOU:   Tā xuéle liǎngniān.

TAPE: Tā you duo Jiǔ méi xué Yīngwén le?

YOU:   Tā you sānnián méi xué Yīngwén le.

NOTE: Some questions and answers will refer to ongoing actions; some
will refer to future actions; and some will refer to completed actions.

For this exercise you need to know that jìhua can be a noun meaning "a
plan” as well as a verb meaning "to plan."

Tā you méiyou jìhua xué Fàwén?

(Does he have a plan to study French?)

Tā jìhua shénme shíhou kāishǐ xué Fàwén?

(When does he plan to start studying French?)

DISPLAY I

EXERCISE 3

In this exercise you will act as an interpreter for an American who
works in Taipei and a Chinese government official.

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

Example

CHINESE: Wài.

AMERICAN: Is this Secretary Lǐ?

YOU:       Shi Lǐ Mìshū ma?

CHINESE:   Shi a! Nín shi Wang Xiǎojiě ba!

YOU:       Yes. You must be Miss Wang.

In Chinese, the word for "secretary," mishū, can refer to a low-ranking
Job as well as to a very high-ranking position.

UNIT 8 COMMUNICATION GAME

INSTRUCTIONS:

Type: Picnic

Situation: The setting is the neighborhood of your school. Your class is
planning a picnic.

Goal: 1) To make a list of people who will attend the picnic, describing
them in terms of relationship to class members (e.g., spouse, child,
friend of child, friend); 2) to make a shopping list for adequate and
appropriate food; 3) to decide who will buy specific items, where he
will buy them, and how much they should cost; U) to determine the total
food bill and the expense per person; 5) to choose a place for the
picnic and plan transportation (again calculating the cost); and,
finally, 6) to set a time schedule for the excursion and a date which
fits in with known commitments of your classmates and presumed
commitments of their friends and families attending the picnic.

The more ambitious the picnic—the greater the number and variety of
picnickers, the more elaborate the menu, the more remote the picnic
spot, the more imaginative the planned activities—the better.

Materials: None. All information is taken from your life and from your
knowledge of the neighborhood.

Procedure: Discussion by the whole class. Smaller committee groups may
be formed, if desired. A class discussion should follow committee
meetings so that general approval of committee proposals can be
obtained.

Example: No single example would be helpful in view of the possibilities
for varied discussions.

Additional Vocabulary: A list of obvious food choices is provided below.
You may consult this list during the game. You are free to ask your
instructor for additional needed vocabulary items.
