Designed for English speakers of Chinese, this set of 2 books tackles 800 most
commonly used characters, which make up 97,7 percent of the characters in
current Chinese publications. It is speedier and more interesting to study these
characters when they are put in groups.
Volume I: 188pp

Volume II: 230pp
ISBN: 7800522121
The Chinese language is a language with a clear pronunciation and largely
unvariable short and simple word forms. The tonal qualities of the language
render its information capacity larger than other non-tonal languages, while
making Chinese a beautiful spoken language.
Written Chinese follows certain rules which shape the characters. A dozen simple
strokes such as ...... make up more than 200 "one-member" or "root" characters,
of which no more than 100 are commonly used and alone will enable the student to
recognize 40 percent of the characters in current publication.
Chinese characters are also known as ideographic characters. Over 90 percent of
these ideographs are picto-phonetic or compound characters composed of at least
two "root" characters, one of which is the pictographic component expressing the
meaning, and the other the phonetic component denoting the pronunciation. Thus
the information contained in small square-shaped Chinese characters is much
greater than, for example, words in an alphabetic system.
The value of Chinese characters have been appreciated throughout the world. Just
as the American linguist Gary Gennings exclaimed, "The Chinese language is the
language of wisdom!"

Annotated writings by students of Chinese
留学生作文选评
Format: Softcover (182 pages)
Publisher: Sinolingua
ISBN: 7800522164
Preface
This is no ordinary selection of essays but a collection of composition
exercises written by international students at the Beijing Language Institute,
the "Little United Nations. " These students, representing over 30 different
countries and speaking many different tongues, have come from every corner of
the world. In their living, studying and traveling, they have found happiness as
well as frustration in this ancient land. Yet after two or three years of study
they have succeeded in writing these essays in Chinese essays that are not only
rich and fluent in expression, but also original in approach and full of
interesting anecdotes.
It is no easy task to master a foreign language. Among the diverse aspects of
language - listening, speaking, reading and writing - writing proves to be the
most difficult. These students, beginning with the basic study of phonetics,
have painstakingly made their way to the point where they can put pen to paper.
Many have worked hard into the night in order to produce a good composition.
These essays are the fruit of their efforts and are a tribute to their
intellectual power.
These colourful, delightful writings cover a wide range of topics. Some describe
things seen and heard in China, while others introduce exotic customs or
charming glimpses of faraway lands. Whether they describe people or things,
whether they narrate stories or express feelings, these essays offer the reader
something new and fresh.
For example, "Inside and Outside the Bus" vividly recounts common scenes on a
Beijing bus. The writer Acharya Dilip Prasad from Nepal tells of a young man
who, upon stepping into the bus, quickly occupies a seat that two old women are
offering each other. Sneered at and ridiculed by the other passengers, the young
man thinks it must be because his face is dirty or his trousers are unzipped.
After wiping his face and checking his trousers, he insensitively begins to wolf
down an ice cream. A German student writes about riding with two other students
on bicycles to the Great Wall in "The Third Time to the Great Wall. " In lively
detail he tells of the problems they encountered and the hospitable and helpful
people they met on the way. "Japanese Cherry Blossoms" by Kazutoshi Terazawa
depicts the strong affection that the Japanese have for cherry blossoms:
"A profusion of dazzling petals drift to the ground and pile up like snow. When
you raise a cup, rosy petals dance on the wine's surface. With one sip, the
flowers' charm and the wine's aroma intoxicate you, carrying you off to a floral
wonderland. "
Such vivid and exquisite writing puts the reader in the midst of a world of
cherry blossoms. In "Magnificent Reunion Island" a French student Theong-tai
Ah-sing Manuella describes a sunset at the seashore:
"The sun at dusk looks so large, round, and flushed. Its brilliant and beautiful
light casts itself upon the sea, spreading a vast stretch of bright, rosy,
glittering scales. "
The writer's nostalgia for her homeland is unmistakable. In brief, the entire
book is highly readable, since all the essays are excellent.
Each selection is annotated and given an overall commentary. Notes refer to
paragraph and sentence structure, transition in mood or meaning, consistency of
tone, and choice of words. The overall commentary discusses the author's
approach to the subject, control of the language, and general arrangement and
structure, pointing out special features or weaknesses.
The book can easily serve as supplementary material for a writing class for
international students. Teachers can choose exemplary compositions for analysis,
while students can use the book for reference. The book can also provide
excellent material for Chinese middle school students learning writing
techniques, broadening their perspective. The general reader will find something
new and fresh and will be entertained by the humour and wisdom of these
international students.
