CHINESE FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSE

WEATHER AND SEASONS

PREAMBLE

Introducing the significance of learning Chinese Language. Briefing the students about some

close resemblance of words in English and Chinese language in order to mentally prepare

them to learn a new language enthusiastically. There are many words that are similar e.g

“kafee” (coffee), “che” (tea), “mama” (mama), “baba”(baba), “baibai” (bye bye),

“kafeiyin” (caffeine), “mangguo”(mango). This would serve as a boosting factor for the

new learners.

LEARNING OUTCOME

After the session, the students will be able to greet and salute in Chinese

Culture Notes
In China the climatic conditions differ drastically from one part of the country to another.
Generally speaking, just as in America, the north is cold and snowy in winter; the south, hot
and wet in summer. Three cities, 重慶 (Chóngqïng), 武漢 (Wùhãn), and 南京 (Nánjìng), are
nicknamed “furnaces” for their notoriously hot temperatures in summer. Other cities, such
as 昆明 (Könmíng), are known for their year-round balmy weather. In the lower 長江
(Chángjiàng1; the longest river in China, also known as the Yangtze) valley, there is a 黃梅
(huángméi; literally, yellow plum) season in May and June characterized by copious rain and
high humidity. But the major rainy season for most of southern China is in July and August,
when almost all the rivers swell to flood level. In winter, the island of 海南 (Hâinán) provides
warmth and appealing resorts for tourists from the north, while many southerners brave the
cold and pour into the northern city of 哈爾濱 (Hà’êrbìn) for its annual exhibition of ice
sculptures.
