It is divided into 101 informative conversations with Chinese translations and exercises designed to test comprehension. Exercises include sentence substitutions, matching words and definitions, filling in blanks, true and false, extended readings, and idioms. Unlike a novel, which requires an extended commitment of time to read, this book is designed to be read and studied in small pieces at your convenience and at your own pace. Have Fun Talking is both useful as a textbook for tutors and for larger classes. Each dialogue involves just two characters, and so the format is useful for a variety of learning situations, from one-to-one lessons to small group settings to large classrooms. Have Fun Talking features a joke on the bottom of nearly every page. Jokes are usually built on the fact that the punchline contains a word with two meanings, and this presents opportunities to expand comprehension and vocabulary. The dialogues in Have Fun Talking occur in a variety of situations- at the zoo, at an ice cream shop, at a concert, at school, at the library, at the ballpark, by the sea flying kites, at a dance, at a bar, at the mall, the music store, the shoe store, you name it There are dialogues set in a restaurant, at the train station, at the swimming pool and hiking in the mountains. You will learn useful sentences for situations involving buying and leasing cars, booking a flight, selecting and purchasing a home, making a dentist appointment, sending a package, and making withdrawals and deposits at the bank. Chapters include: Two Animals Talking, School Talk, Going Places, Buying Things, Fishing, Transportation, Outdoor Activities, Travel, Money and Houses, Life Situations, and Health and Beauty. There is an answer key at the back of the book for every exercise. Students who wish to maximize the effectiveness of Have Fun Talking will also be happy to know that there is a CD recording of all 101 dialogues. The recording artists are all native English speakers from the United States and England. We encourage those who have found the book useful to also acquire the recorded dialogues. Listening to and emulating the native speakers pronunciation and cadence will enhance the Have Fun Talking experience and help you to become more skilled at speaking English.
