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.
