Editor's Recommendation
This textbook series of grammar learning and practicefeatures the core characteristics of “Three Easiness” (easy to understand, easyto look up, and easy to remember) and “Three Quickness” (quick to learn, quickto practice, and quick to apply), which are reflected in the fact that eachgrammatical point consists of explanation and comprehensive exercises. Theexplanation part includes five sections: grammatical interpretation, commoncollocations, formulaic formal structures, relevant descriptions, andcomparisons, which are clear with prominent key points. The comprehensiveexercises are strictly matched with the explanation part of the grammaticalpoints. The exercises are compiled based on the structural, semantic, andpragmatic descriptions of the grammatical points, striving to combineexplanation with practice and allowing learners to practice as they learn. Thetypes, contents, and the difficulty levels of exercises are all closelycentered on the testing characteristics and requirements of the HSK, meetingthe examination needs of Chinese learners at all levels. As such, it realizes aclosed-loop path from grammar learning to grammar application and grammartesting.
