YCT Writing Prep Lessons Level 4

• Designed for kids who have a certain foundation in Chinese language learning. They can carry out relatively fluent oral communication and written expression, and can read some more complex articles. 
• In our classes, we will cover topics such as: "How long have you beed learning Chinese?", "I have a cold", "How do you go to school everyday?",  "Why doesn't dad have a rest?",  "It grows really fast.", etc. 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 600 commonly used vocabulary words and related advanced grammar knowledge. They can engage in more fluent and flexible oral communication and written expression, and can read some more complex literary works and news reports. Additionally, they will gain further knowledge about Chinese culture and history, increasing their understanding and awareness of Chinese civilization.
