China Focus: Chinese Audiovisual-Speaking Course Intermediate Level (II) Variety Shows

Videos and supplementary material

China Focus is a collection of educational resources designed to enhance the conversation and listening comprehension level of Chinese students through some carefully selected videos. The videos have been taken from different TV programmes and include among others the news, documentaries, talk shows, films, theatre plays etc.

This volume is on variety shows, and the chosen videos are the famous programme 说谎 (Lying), an interview with the comedian Joe Wong and an interpretation of "I believe I can fly" & 翅膀 by R. Kelly. These resources are suitable for students of HSK level 5.

The idea of the book is that after watching the videos, some exercises must be resolved. The answers to these exercises are at the end of the book, which makes it suitable for self-study.

The videos can be watched via the link on the publisher’s page or by scanning the QR codes that come up at the beginning of each unit.
