IC Lesson 12
Audio Practice
revised
April 11, 2005
- Listening comprehension:
If you weren't able to do it at home, first finish your homework by answering
the questions on workbook p. 1-2, section 2. Go to the LLC
web site, click on Course Materials, log on with your Kerberos password, select
Integrated Chinese, Workbook level 1 part 2, and click on the three passages
for lesson 12. This will count as part of your graded homework turned in today.
- Speaking practice (record
your voice):
- Repeat after the speaker in
the sound
files, and record your voice using Audacity. Play back each sentence to
match your pronunciation with the native speaker. Do each sentence several
times until your pronunciation is as close as possible. You do not
need to save these files.
- Video Scavenger Hunt:
- Go to the University
of Puget Sound page and select any video clips relating to food and
restaurants. Write down the name of the clip and any expressions you recognize
(using Chinese characters). Are there any words whose meaning you can
figure out from context? Write them in pinyin and what you think they
mean.
- View the video
clip of the Beijing University cafeteria, and write down in Chinese characters
on your worksheet any expressions you recognize.
- Go to this video clip at the
Oxford
University Chinese Multimedia site. Write down any expressions you recognize.
You can ignore the simplified characters to the side of the clip. What
has the man just done (hint: he uses a new pattern from lesson 12)?
- Favorite foods:
Go to this page illustrating the
formulas
for names of common dishes. Write down in Chinese your favorite three
dishes.
- Go
to the first sentence
pattern for resultative complement. Read the pattern, do the three exercises,
and then go on to the other sentence pattern.
Be sure to do the exercises for both patterns.
- Use the animated
character application. Watch each character being written, and notice
the radicals in red. Make two columns on your workbook page and write the
characters with their radicals. Do as many as you can.
- Do UC Berkeley's
on-line listening exercises for lesson 12. Do both text A and B. Click
on "show new words" and then click on each highlighted word to hear
the word and see example sentences. The pages on this site for lessons 12-17
are available in simplified characters only, but you can still make use of
the listening aspect.
- Play these vocabulary games: characters-pinyin,
pinyin-English,
characters-English.
- Play the vocabulary
quiz game for this lesson (select "large fonts" first).
