期末考試

In the final exams, there are four types of questions.

Range: 遠東商務漢語I L8, 遠東商務漢語II L1-5, L7. I will only give an exam on the vocabularies and sentence patterns I have taught in class, so you don't have to memorize some vocabularies and sentence pattern that I didn't teach. Most of the context in the final is from our text book. So please try to be familiar with the dialogue of these lessons.

1. Listening comprehension   

• You will hear a conversation or a description.  Then choose the most appropriate answer.
• You can choose how many  times you want to play the recording.

2. Fill in the blanks with vocabularies.

• You have to choose the vocabulary from the column and use it in the paragraph. I will give you the vocabulary in the column but the number of vocabularies are more than right answers so please study hard.

4. Write an e-mail with sentence patterns.

• I will give you some sentence patterns. According to the descriptions, you have to choose five sentence patterns to complete the e-mail. 
• Study guide: this type of form is similar to the practice I gave you last Sunday. 

5. Reading comprehension
