standard textbook for intermediate Chinese language learning. This
completely revised edition reflects China's dramatic developments
in the last decade and consolidates the previous two-volume set
into one volume for easy student use. Written from the perspective
of a foreign student who has just arrived in China, the textbook
provides the most up-to-date lessons and learning materials about
the changing face of China.

student experiencing Beijing for the first time. Chinese language
students are guided step-by-step through the stages of arriving at
the airport, going through customs, and adjusting to Chinese
university dormitories. The revised edition includes new lessons on
daily life, such as doing laundry and getting a haircut, as well as
visiting the zoo, night markets, and the Great Wall. Later lessons
discuss recent social and political issues in China, including
divorce, Beijing traffic, and the college entrance examination. "A
New China" provides detailed grammar explanations, extensive
vocabulary lists, and homework exercises.Single-volume,
