Here s an example of how one student went about setting his goals. te aho o te kura pounamu zh1001 3

lesson 1 Andrew used an assessment scale from 1 5. 1 = I am at the standard I wanted to reach (my goal). 5 = I can do very little; I am a long way from my goal. Andrew listed the six main skills required for knowing Chinese in a table and wrote the numbers 1 5 in the column under each skill. He looked at some of the Chinese study he had completed at the end of the previous year and used that to help him circle the number that he felt showed the stage he was at on his assessment scale for each skill. Andrew s table looked like this: istockphoto.com New words (characters and Pinyin) Structures (grammar) Listening and understanding Speaking Reading and understanding characters Writing characters 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 Now Andrew could see where he needed to improve most. Then he matched each skill against an improvement priority rating number from 1 6. 1 = most need to improve 6 = least need to improve Skill New words (characters and Pinyin) Writing characters Structures (grammar) Listening and understanding Speaking Reading and understanding characters Priority rating 1 2 3 4 5 6 Andrew decided to spend most time revising and testing himself to make sure he knew the vocabulary and practising writing Chinese characters. 4 zh1001 te aho o te kura pounamu

lesson 1 Use Andrew s method to help you set your own goals. It will give you and your teacher a clearer idea of where you need to improve. Circle your self-assessment numbers in the table below.

Tick the ones you could use in this course. 1. Practise writing the characters as often as possible. 2. Test yourself regularly using the word list in the reference section at the back of this booklet. Cover up first the characters and then the Pinyin. Work from easy to hard, test yourself on the pronunciation and meaning of the characters first, and later you can try to write the characters from memory, while looking at the English or Pinyin. 3. Surround yourself with characters put them up on the walls of your bedroom. Label as many objects as you can. 4. When you meet new characters, look for parts (such as radicals and phonetics) that you have already come across in other characters. This makes it easier to remember them. 5. Start collecting families of characters, making groups that include the same radicals (symbols) (for example, 吗, 啊 ) or the same phonetic (for example, 吗, 马 ). 14 zh1001 te aho o te kura pounamu

lesson 2 6. Get some small pieces of card and write a character on one side, with the corresponding Pinyin and English on the other side. Use these cards to test yourself regularly. 7. Do some research to find out how the various characters developed. Try the Internet or your nearest library. Find out which characters have been simplified over time and study what they looked like before they were simplified. 8. Practise drawing characters in the air. 9. Look out for characters that you know on Chinese shop signs and restaurant menus and so on. 10. Get some computer programmes that help you learn characters and explore the Chinese character resources that exist on the Internet. te aho o te kura pounamu zh1001 15

Try using reasoning and guessing to work out what they mean. characters There are at least three ways to find out a character s meaning if you can t remember it straight away: Look up a word list or dictionary. If you understand the rest of the sentence, it may be obvious what that character (or word) must mean. Look for any shapes (or radicals) in the character that you might know already and that might help you to work out its meaning. Do you have any other ideas? Jot them down in the thought bubble below. You might be asked to look at a more difficult passage of text just to get a general sense of meaning. If this is so, you ll be told. reading questions Read the questions carefully so that you know what information is required. Make sure you answer the actual question that is asked. If you re not sure how much detail the question is seeking, it s better to give too much detail than too little. 24 zh1001 te aho o te kura pounamu

In Chinese, the verb 打 plus 得 plus 很 好 / 不 好 / 不 太 好 / 可 好 了 are put together in a sentence to describe how well someone plays a ball game. The verb 打 is used for almost all the ball games except for playing football, which uses the verb 踢, as in 踢 足 球.

6 第 六 课 lesson 6 第 六 课 listening, reading and writing practice 6A 练 习 listening skills In this activity, you ll practise your listening skills. Read the suggestions below and then see if you can come up with some ideas of your own. Some of the suggestions are similar to the ones given to you in lesson 3C on improving reading skills. guessing In most passages in this course, there will probably be some words or sentences that you aren t completely sure about. Try using reasoning and guessing to work out what they mean. reading questions Read the questions carefully so that you know what information is required. Make sure you answer the actual question that is asked. If you re not sure how much detail the question is seeking, it s better to give too much detail rather than too little. writing answers If you re told not to write down anything the first time you hear a passage, then don t; just listen, and try to see how much you can understand. If you decide to change an answer after you ve written it down, neatly cross out your first answer and write the other answer next to it. Don t give two answers or alternatives. We only want one correct answer, and whoever marks your work won t know which answer you intended, so you ll probably get it marked as wrong. If you don t know the answer, guess! You never know, you might understand more than you think! Now try to put these suggestions into practice. 38 zh1001 te aho o te kura pounamu

answer guide 1F 练 习 what sort of language learner are you? Score: 23 27 points: Analytical A perfectionist You may feel that it is very important to be as accurate as possible all the time. You probably prefer the sort of language learning situation where you need to think carefully, for example, when you are completing structured activities, working out the meaning of words or practising pronunciation or characters. You may be nervous about speaking and recording because you don t like making mistakes. You may be able to improve your language learning if you: try to speak more, try talking to Chinese-speaking friends or tourists don t worry about making mistakes; remember that the people you speak to won t be listening for your mistakes but for what you re trying to say remember that you probably know more than you think. Score: 9 13 points: Relaxed Like experimenting You seem to pick up languages easily. You may sometimes feel that you should be more accurate and should be learning more structure rules and characters, but you probably don t enjoy this and quickly lose interest. You may be able to improve your language learning if you: practise things like characters and structures more often organise a regular time for learning try being more self-critical. You probably need to correct yourself more. Try to be more aware of the mistakes you make regularly so you can do something about them. Check your written work to confirm that you have made the correct strokes. Listen to your own recording to improve your pronunciation. Score: 14 22 points: A mixture You may find that you do not fall exactly into either of the categories labelled Analytical or Relaxed. Many people are a mixture and learn in different ways. Look at the descriptions for Analytical and Relaxed above. You may find that you are more similar to one than the other, and this could help you think about what areas of your learning you might improve. 54 zh1001 te aho o te kura pounamu

answer guide Score: 0 8 points: Not sure Your score does not mean that you re not a good language learner. Perhaps this is the first time you ve thought about the way you learn. Knowing more about how you learn can be very useful in helping you become a more effective language learner. You can find out some general information by looking at the descriptions and suggestions for Analytical and Relaxed above. During this course, try to become more aware of the ways you learn. This can help you decide which areas of your learning you might improve. 2E 练 习 i can or i can t You wrote six sentences, mostly in characters, about what sports John, Jane and you can and can t play.
