Listening Material
Tony: Have you made much progress with your Chinese,
Dad
Dad: Yes, I have. I’ve practised it every day. My level is
better than it was last year, even though I haven’t
been to classes. But my handwriting still isn’t very
good. I’ve still got some work to do on that. And I
still find reading Chinese quite difficult.
Tony: Do you think you have to be really smart to be
good at a foreign language
Dad: No, I don’t. Whatever you do, you have to make
an effort. I think Chinese is simpler than English,
anyway.
Tony: I wish I spoke Chinese as well as you do.
Dad: I think your Chinese is quite good already. I’m
really proud of you.
