Chinese Acquisition Continuation

Unit 2: 我们的生活环境 Our Living Environment

In this unit, students explore their surrounding environment (city, town facilities, transport, living conditions, communities, etc.) and interactions between individuals and environment. Students will learn vocabulary and sentence patterns needed to express their ideas, engaging in both linguistic and cultural exploration of people’s choices of housing, neighbourhood and transportation in China and Singapore. By the end of the unit, students will understand, and be able to discuss, how the development of town planning and transport helps to build connections between individuals and communities. The end-of-unit project will be a condo life versus HDB life comparison in Singapore.
