The author has collected 900 typical erroneous sentences written in Chinese by students from English-speaking countries in exercises and examinations during the past few decades. Based on a comparison of English and Chinese, the errors found in these sentences have been placed into three categories: grammatical errors, syntactical errors and punctuation errors. The author analyzes the causes of these errors and gives instruction on how to correct them. Comparing the two languages will enable the learner to get a double effect with half the effort. This book provides abundant teaching materials, making it a valuable reference tool for teachers and a reliable helper for self-study. It may be used as supplementary material for the ELEMENTARY CHINESE READERS, ELEMENTARY CHINESE, INTRODUCTORY CHINESE and other Chinese-language teaching textbooks.

Chinese characters, with their unfamiliar rectangular outlines and complex structures, often appear to foreign learners to be an insuperable stumbling block. In fact, however, as long as the basic rules are grasped and right methods employed, it is not too hard to get started and it is also quite possible to gain a firm mastery of the written language. This book introduces in a lively and accessible way the origins, evolution, and composition of Chinese characters, their shapes, total numbers, pronunciation, meanings, and correct formations, as well as their dictionary ordering and consultation. The book will serve as a key to the fascinating realm of Chinese characters.
