As a result of this topic, students will be able to:

speak, read and write simple sentences and more common types of compound and complex sentence patterns in standard Mandarin Chinese
engage in Chinese conversations describing people's activities and aspirations, with culturally appropriate choices of vocabulary and basic grammatical forms
draw from a spoken and written vocabulary of at least 900 standard Mandarin words in conversation and in spoken and written exercises
