Course: Chinese 101
Time & Date: 11:00, November 4, 2015
The students are mostly undergraduates at UIC, who are taking Chinese to fulfill their foreign language requirement.
There are 24 students registered in this section. A few of the students are heritage speakers of Cantonese; most are true
beginners of Mandarin Chinese.
This class is in Week 11 and the 31st meeting since the semester started. Students have finished the Intro Lesson and
Lesson 1 to 4, and this is the second meeting of Lesson 5. The previous topics after the intro lesson are greetings, family,
dates & time, and hobbies. Lesson 5 talks about visiting friends.
In this class, students will be able to:
Understand the usage of le (a particle usually used after verbs or verb phrases to indicate the completion of an
action) in statements and questions, and how it is NOT used in saying something did not happen in the past;
Understand the adverb cai (not until) to express lateness and use it to compare their daily routine with another
person.
Understand the narration of an event happening in the past.
