Introduction
Martin Mak, Xixia Wang, Ivy Liu

Why was this book written?

We have written this book to provide material to cover the Cambridge IGCSE Mandarin
Chinese as a Foreign Language syllabus (0547). In addition to this, the book will help you
to develop your communication skills in Mandarin; materials have been written based on
real-life contexts, and real-life materials have been chosen in order to give you a taste of
culture along with language.

How is the book organized?

The book has 25 chapters, grouped under the five topic areas in the 0547 syllabus:
Everyday Activities, Personal and Social Life, The World Around Us, The World of Work
and International Word. Each topic area has 3-7 sub-topics, each of which constitutes a
chapter, and you will find material to cover listening, reading, speaking and writing under
each sub-topic.

This book has been written for beginners. Therefore, from Chapter 1 to 5, pinyin and
English meaning for rubrics are provided. However, they are gradually reduced in the later
chapters and there will be no pinyin and English meanings for the rubrics to enable you to
reach the appropriate standards needed at IGCSE level.

How should you use this book?

You will need to take an active role in your learning. Following the sequence of our
activities will reinforce your language learning and expand your Mandarin vocabulary to
help you become a more fluent reader. We introduce sentence structures in each chapter
to help you improve your writing. It is important that you complete all the exercises as
they will help you develop your communication skills in Chinese.

We have also written a Workbook, which contains further activities to help you to develop
and consolidate what you learn in this Coursebook.

方向 Localizers (2)

1 To refer to the ‘northern part’ or ‘western part’, the

character 方 is used, e.g. 东方, 南方, 西方
and 北方.
2 Putting a direction before the character 边 has a
similar meaning to 方, e.g. 北京的西边 ‘the
west side of Beijing’, 学校的东边 ‘the east
side of the school’. Another character, 面, has the
same function. For example, 东边 and 东面 are
interchangeable.

中间。
