  • Review the vocabulary for family members (kinship terms such as parents, siblings, & children). New words this week: 男 (nán – male), 女 (nǚ – female), 孩子 (háizi – child), 儿子 (érzi – son), 女儿 (nǚ’ér – daughter).
  • Complete Workbook Reading Comprehension A (p. 30)
  • If you feel ready for a full review, try the attached quiz to test your understanding of Lesson 2 Dialogue 1

Grammar: Question Words

  • Read Grammar Point 3 (Textbook pp. 51–52) on question words: 谁 (shéi – who), 什么 (shénme – what), 几 (jǐ – how many).Do not forget 吗 (ma – yes/no question marker) introduced in Lesson 1.
