This is the traditional Chinese characters version of Book 6 of Easy Steps to Chinese, a series of Chinese textbooks for middle school students who are non-native speakers of Chinese. The book is full-color printed and includes an MP3 CD.
The book is composed of five units, each with three lessons, encompassing such everyday topics as "school, curriculum and learn Chinese", "go to Beijing, study abroad, celebrate Chinese New Year", "charity bazaar, challenge, camping", "young man, pressure, worries", "new technologies, health, environment protection".
Starting this book, the textbook and exercise book are combined into one. In each lesson, there is one text, two or three reading materials, various exercises supplemented by brief explanations of grammatical points and introductions to the writing styles. It is more close to various overseas Chinese examinations, such as GCSE, AP and IB in terms of content and form.
