The second part of the Scenario Chinese course continues with ten new episodes of Stories Amid Ourselves, a series of mini-plays shown on television in Beijing. Each episode lasts around five minutes, revolving around various scenarios of urban life in Beijing, with characters drawn from a wide socioeconomic spectrum. All episodes are included on 2 DVDs for convenient study, each accompanied by a unit in the book including the text of the scene, new vocabulary, grammar notes and exercises that emphasize listening and speaking. Designed by the authors to acquaint learners with contemporary Chinese society through authentic and living language, Scenario Chinese is a perfect supplement for college Chinese classes.
