Making Connections gives beginning and intermediate students of Chinese an early start in developing strategies to dramatically improve their listening comprehension. An effective companion to any first or second year textbook, Making Connections improves listening skills through the use of recordings of natural, unrehearsed conversations between native Mandarin speakers. Students will hear the spoken language in a variety of contexts, from chats between friends to conversations between doctor and patient to radio broadcasts. The accompanying written exercises guide students through each audio track, explaining particular aspects of the language, supplemented with related realia and cartoon illustrations. Pre- and post-listening activities train students to listen for detail and intent, and an index lists vocabulary terms by lesson, in both simplified and traditional characters.
The first 23 lessons in the book correspond to lesson topics from Integrated Chinese, Level 1, Parts 1 and 2. Lessons 24-45 offer additional situational topics that range in difficulty from novice to high-intermediate. With its strong emphasis on listening comprehension, Making Connections is a great preparation tool for standardized tests of Chinese, such as the AP* Chinese Language and Culture exam, the HSK, and others. Audio materials are available as a free MP3 download with purchase of the book. Please note that the 1st Edition is still available.

听力训练是语言学习中不可或缺的一环,但除了高阶程度教科书之外,一般教科书中经常无法充分练习,因此本书提供了初阶及中阶学生额外补充听力训练。由 Madeline Spring 编写发展出适合训练听力的内容。所有的对话皆是由中籍人士在自然、没有演练的情况下录音,着重於口语对话的语言。本书题材配合畅销教材《中文听说读写》Level 1之主题,可作为第一年或第二年的补充教材,亦是准备 AP 中文测验及 HSK 等其他测验的良好素材。本书有正体字版及简体字版。
