This set, consisting of a textbook and a workbook, is designed for learners at a pre-intermediate level who have learned basic Chinese and are interested in having a career or doing business within Chinese speaking communities. The lessons in the textbook feature a series of business convesations portraying a Western businessman's business trip to China. These conversations are short and relevant, in order to motivate students to "role play" and thus be able to memorize large portions of them. Frequently used vocabulary words and terms are carefully selected. Each dialogue is given in both simplified and traditional characters with the associated Pinyin and English translations. A vocabulary list for each dialogue appearing in the textbook is included in the corresponding workbook section. The various exercises are based on communicative and interactive approaches with a focus on business conversation and applications. The listening exercises should be used in conjunction with the accompanying CD. Price is for a set of texbook, workbook, and one audio CD. Vol. 2 is available.
