The third of three volumes, Advanced Chinese Reading and Writing Course is designed for advanced students with high proficiency in reading and writing Chinese. Following the same format of the elementary and intermediate books, each chapter begins with a reading section with two texts, vocabulary words, and vocabulary exercises. Each text includes a few useful features, such as the character count, a reading time, and a specific objective to guide the reader (such as key points to look for). Part two of each lesson is the writing part, which instructs the reader to complete various writing tasks related to the topic of the reading part, such as leaving a note for a friend or writing a few sentences. There are two books in each volume, and each book contains 12 chapters and two review sections. The texts and instructions are written entirely in Chinese characters, with the exception of the vocabulary words, which are presented with pinyin and English definitions. The texts in Vol. 1 contain 1500-2000 characters each, while those in Vol. 2 contain 2000-2500 each.
Topics in Vol. 1 include advanced discussions of concepts such as cultural concepts, history, famous Chinese movies and stories, law and government, business, etc.
Vol. 2 of the Advanced Course has not yet been published, but will be available when published.
