Overview
The Go! Chinese Workbook supplements the Textbook; it provides exercises that are closely linked to the content of each lesson to allow students to review and solidify their understanding of the lessons learnt in the classroom.
Besides traditional exercises on phonetic (pinyin), Chinese radicals, vocabulary and grammar that help students build a strong foundation in the language, the Workbook also offers students with interesting and challenging opportunities to learn Chinese language through problem-solving tasks such as cross-word puzzles, composing short conversations, and answering questions involving the interpretation of graphs or pictures.
The Workbook also provides Chinese character writing worksheets and two sets of review questions.
