Workbooks are divided into four sections of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Within each section, there are two types of exercises, namely, traditional exercises (such as fill-in-the-blank, sentence completion, translation, etc.) to help students build a solid foundation, and communication-oriented exercises to prepare students to face the real world. The Integrated Chinese, Level 1 Part 1 workbook includes listening comprehension exercises (completed in response to the corresponding audio CDs), speaking exercises, and reading and writing work to accompany subject matter from the second edition textbook. This workbook is in traditional characters.
