Audio Practice
revised
May 17, 2005
- Speaking: Repeat
after the speaker in the sound files,
and record your voice using Audacity. Focus on dialogue two. 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.
- Structure: Go
to the Lesson 16 sentence
patterns. Be sure to click through to all the patterns for lesson 16.
- Video
Scavenger Hunt: View the video clips and write down
in Chinese any expressions you recognize.
- video clip about going
abroad: Where did the girl go? How many times has she been there?
What did she have to do before going there?
- video clip about seeing
a doctor: What does the doctor tell the man to do? He doesn't address
her as Âå¥Í. What word does he use?
- video clip about picking up
a
prescription:
Can you figure out the word for "prescription"? How often does
he have to take the medicine?
- Doctor
Jokes: Go
the the USC supplementary reading site and read a couple of doctor
jokes in Chinese. If you encounter some characters you haven't learned,
look them up by radical in the dictionary.
You may find it useful to increase the font size in order to see all the
strokes in each character. Write a summary of one joke in English. For extra
credit, prepare a joke to tell the class. You may memorize it as written,
or retell it in your own words using more language structures
you have already learned.
- Other
activities:

character application for Lesson 16 (write characters and radicals
on your worksheet).
- Play games: characters-pinyin,
pinyin-English, characters-English.

quiz game for this lesson (select "large fonts" first).
