Proverbs are an important and characteristic feature of Chinese
language and culture. There is a Chinese proverb for almost any
situation, and judicious use of proverbs is regarded as a sign of
good education. Proverbs are often derived from classical stories
or historical events, and offer a multi-dimensional resource for
learning Chinese. Becoming a Dragon: Forty Chinese Proverbs for
Lifelong Learning and Classroom Study, is a bilingual
(English-Chinese) collection of proverbs, popular phrases, and
two-part allegorical sayings. Each proverb is set out with all the
materials needed for self-study and classroom teaching: the story
behind the proverb and its source in both English and Chinese, a
literal translation, the figurative meaning, English equivalents, a
vocabulary list, and examples of how the proverb is used in modern
written and spoken Chinese. Illustrations and vocabulary lists are
also available online for use in classroom presentations.
This is the second in the LinguaBooks series of Short Stories for
Adult Learners and contains five original short stories with
accompanying explanations, exercises and extension tasks. The focus
throughout is on authenticity and originality. The language of the
stories has not been simplified for easy reading; rather, emergent
difficulties are explained in the notes with further activities
provided for deeper understanding, extension and autonomous
learning. The stories themselves present a varied mix of style and
content, ranging from the surprising to the contemplative, with a
touch of humour and an occasional hint of pathos. The language used
may be considered equivalent to Level C1 of the Common European
Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Each book in this
series is suitable for both classroom use and reading for pleasure.
