A variety of topics will be covered in this course which may help students understand more about Chinese culture and society while learning the language, like pressure, family, hunting job, health, entertainment, education, Chinese spring festival and so on. Some helpful materials will be used in class from time to time. Some interesting tasks will be given both in and out of class to create opportunities for students to learn and consolidate knowledge.
