deal with unprepared conversation on topics that are familiar, of personal interest or pertinent to everyday life (e.g. family, hobbies, work, travel and current events);

Learning outcomes
●Teaching Boya Chinese I (Gaoji) CH 1-5.
●The new feature in Boya Chinese is that several topics appear in both dialogue and essay forms. By covering the same topic twice, students will be able to not only learn the vocabulary and grammatical structures better, but also to see clearly the difference between speaking and writing in Chinese.
●The articles in this book are all related to contemporary issues in China, and their focus is on everyday life rather than the weighty political and social essays. Some of the topics are controversial; we believe this will evoke students' interest and increase their participation in class duscussions.
