Mandarin 1 Assignment #3

 Today, we reviewed the characters and pinyin from the first two lessons and completed the remaining content of Unit 2. Students learned the pronunciation of the characters "我" (wǒ), "有" (yǒu), "左" (zuǒ), "来" (lái), "右" (yòu), and "个" (gè). Currently, for this level, there is no requirement for students to master the writing of these six characters, but it is expected that they can achieve recognition and reading proficiency. It's important to note that the pronunciation of "有" and "右" is similar, but "有" is in the third tone, while "右" is in the fourth tone, so distinguishing between them is necessary. We also learned the pronunciation and writing methods of the three compound finals in pinyin: "ai," "ei," and "ui," and practiced pronunciation which combined with the pinyin we learned earlier.

While I was checking the homework, I can see that some students had trouble with the stroke order of  "耳" (ěr) and some did not complete exercises. I hope that parents can encourage children to read, listen, and write more after class.

 

Homework for this week:

1. Listen to the recording and read along with the nursery rhyme on page 10 of《中文》;

2. Complete exercises from page 9 to page 14 in《中文》 workbook 1B;

3.Complete pinyin workbook Unit 5, Sections 1, 2, 3(1) and 4;

4. Preview the content of 《中文》Unit 3 and Unit 6 of 《Pinyin》

 

For the next class, please make sure to bring pencils, textbooks, workbooks and a Tianzige notebook.

 

If you have any questions about the class, or anything, please email me.

 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Mandarin G2B Homework #14

  Hi parents and students, Today we continued with Lesson 6. In class, we practiced using the sentence patterns “我（不）会...” (I can/cannot...) and “我学会了...” (I have learned...) to answer the questions “你会做什么？” (What can you do?) and “你学会了什么？” (What have you learned?). At home, parents can use these two questions to ask your child and encourage them to practice more. The lesson text was a tongue twister with a storyline. By reading it aloud, we experienced the rhythm of Chinese and understood the importance of tones in pronunciation. Before practicing the tongue twister, we learned the pronunciation and meaning of 7 new Chinese characters: 毛, 抱, 猫, 破, 赶, 苗, and 捉. We also reviewed the radicals “扌” (related to hand actions) and “走” (related to movement) and introduced a new radical, “犭,” which is often used for words related to animals or their actions. Additionally, we revisited the character “还” and its two pronunciations. Previously, we learned “hái,” which means “still” or “also,” ...

Mandarin G2B Homework #22

Hi Parents and Students, Good afternoon.  In today’s class, we reviewed Pinyin, characters, and vocabulary from the last lesson. We also completed the remaining content of Lesson 9. The key sentence pattern for this lesson was  “ 为什么河水会流动？ ” (Why does the river flow?) . Through this structure, students learned how to ask questions using  “ 为什么 ” (why) . During our class discussion, everyone shared creative and interesting “why” questions. By practicing this sentence pattern, students not only improved their understanding of  “ 为什么 ” , but also reviewed the correct use of the question mark in writing. For speaking practice, we focused on two important structures:  “ 为什么 ” (why) and “ 会不会 ” (can or not) . Through dialogue exercises, students learned how to use these phrases in real conversations, enhancing their speaking skills. Our reading material for today was a fun and catchy children’s rhyme  《小好奇》 . We paid special attention to the pronunciation of...
