A wide variety of exercises are featured throughout, and each unit concludes with a helpful glossary given in Chinese characters, pinyin and English translations. An answer key is also included in the back of the book.

The following writing styles and genres are covered:

• Personal correspondence―greetings and condolences, explanations and apologising, making arrangements and keeping in touch
