This book is designed for upper grade elementary, middle and high school students who have received approximately 150~200 hours of Chinese language instruction and want to continue their Chinese language studies.

 

年轻人与海

本书是我社“我爱学中文阅读系列”的一本。是根据Blaine Ray用西班牙语编写的同名故事翻译改写而成的，是Blaine Ray发明的应用于各种外语教学的“行为情境教学法”（TPRS:Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Story-telling）的配套读物。该教学法在美国被广泛采用，其特点是通过生动有趣的故事和相关情境，让学生在轻松的学习中掌握词汇并学会语言交际。

本书讲述了两个美国中学生乘坐游船到波多黎各旅行，因错过游船而发生在圣胡安的故事。全书共有10章，每章后面有几个问题（英文），用以检测学生对故事的理解。全书最后附有词语表。本书适用于小学高年级、初中和高中已接收过约150-200小时的中文授课，并希望继续学习中文的学生。
