This is the third book in a series of three books which encourage children to enjoy<br />
learning Chinese. There are ten chapters introducing new key topics and the language<br />
and characters learnt in the first and second books are revised and reinf<strong>or</strong>ced. Once<br />
again, each chapter contains a certificate, a Great Wall Challenge and stickers to further<br />
reinf<strong>or</strong>ce the key learning points. There is also a CD of the sound rec<strong>or</strong>dings at the back<br />
of the book.<br />
Book 3 contains key sentence structures and a wide variety of games and puzzles to help<br />
children to practise Chinese. Clear, large character writing grids help children with<br />
character writing and there are games to make character learning fun. In addition,<br />
characters from Books 1 & 2 are reintroduced and built on to f<strong>or</strong>m sentences.<br />
Marcus and Anne have written the book using the objectives of the Primary Languages<br />
Framew<strong>or</strong>k as a key reference tool. In addition, the vocabulary and sentence patterns<br />
follow the specifications f<strong>or</strong> the The Independent Schools Examinations Board (ISEB)<br />
Certificate of Achievement.<br />
The book also includes a free login to Primary School Chinese Online - a webp<strong>or</strong>tal full<br />
of games and competitions based on what they have already learnt. Please go to<br />
