◇ All the sections of the video can be played individually to facilitate teachers' operation in class; subtitles are made available in both traditional and simplified Chinese characters; and a printed booklet is provided, containing all the video transcripts.
◇ Transcripts, vocabulary lists and quiz questions are provided on the associated website http://cvc.myechinese.com for users to download.
