YCT Writing Prep Lessons Level 2

• Designed for kids who have already mastered a certain amount of basic Chinese vocabulary and fundamental grammar knowledge, and are able to engage in simple daily life conversations. They may have learned pinyin and some characters, and are able to understand basic spoken expressions and conduct preliminary reading comprehension.
• In our classes, we will cover topics such as: "When do you get up in the morning?", "Where is your pencil?", "Can you cook?", "How much is it?", "Today is hotter than yesterday?", "What did you do today?", and so on. Each class will include corresponding exercises. Once we have covered the material to a certain extent, we will move on to mock and real test papers, focusing on intensive practice and identifying areas of weakness to help you achieve high marks on the test.
• After completion of this level, kids will have learned about 150 commonly used vocabulary words and some fundamental grammar knowledge. They can engage in simple daily life conversations and written communication. In terms of listening skills, they will be able to understand simple spoken expressions and short articles, and conduct preliminary oral expression and reading comprehension. Additionally, children will gain further knowledge about Chinese culture and customs, increasing their understanding and awareness of Chinese civilization.
