Developing Writing Skills in Chinese

Developing Writing Skills in Chinese has been devised for post-intermediate students of Chinese who need to write Chinese in the course of their life, work or study. Each unit contains a selection of model texts, each followed by clear notes in English on the format, style, grammar or special phrases demonstrated in the text. A variety of exercises allow the student to practise these writing techniques themselves. Developing Writing Skills in Chinese is suitable for use as a classroom text, or as a self-study resource. The course is functionally based, with each unit focused on particular form of writing, from New Year's cards to business correspondence. Units need not be studied in sequence, so students are free to focus on their particular needs. Features include: * Glossaries for each chapter, giving Chinese characters, pinyin and English translation * Answer key * Flexible structure * Variety of model texts. Written by experienced teachers of Chinese and thoroughly trialled with non-native students of Chinese, Developing Writing Skills in Chinese will help students to write coherently, clearly and appropriately in a variety of contexts.Yuan, Boping is the author of 'Developing Writing Skills in Chinese' with ISBN 9780415215831 and ISBN 0415215838.
