In this video, we are going to learn and master the content about environmental protection. This is one of the most advanced topics in new Chinese GCSE, but I will take you through under 10 minutes.
The booklet companion can be completed by the students when they listen to the conversation. It contains three parts: original conversation, full GCSE vocab list and translation tasks corresponding to the video.

Based on all the content of textbook Jinbu 1 and chapter 1-3 in Jinbu 2, this Hassle Free Jinbu 1 & Jinbu 2 Home Speaking Test + Preparation + Marking Criteria gives you everything that you need for 3 or 4-lesson sequence (each lesson 40-50 minutes), suitable for end of year speaking/writing assessment.
This resource also goes with the video support shared on Youtube.
You can also use this to help the weaker students of GCSE or as a start-of-term speaking quiz before starting the GCSE syllabus.
There are also guidances that show you what level of support you should give your students, so although this support can be tailored to the level of your students, this remains challenging to the students.
This vocab list is very useful if the students are revising through categories. Adjectives are essential vocab when it comes to express opinion. Here I categorise this list to be adjectives for people only, so when students are writing about people, they can use this, very handy.
There are quizzes in every few adjectives, to check students’ understanding of the vocabulary they’ve learned. In addition, the quizzes are practised with the purpose of using the antonyms and tenses in mind, so this can be extremely helpful to support learners.
I will continue to update other categories.
There is also a Youtube video for learning this set of vocab.

Some questions are much harder to push the talented and gifted learners for thinking independently.

This is particularly suitable for students who finished Jinbu 1 and first 3 chapters of Jinbu 2.

This Chinese self-assessment after exam is brief and neat. It shows the perspectives of all 4 skills to students, and it helps them relish their improvement this time but it will also help them establish small targets in order to improve better next time.

This set of classroom sentence displays is not only great for speaking warmups either outside of the classroom while students are waiting or can be used in the classroom as a building block of using complicated sentences in the writing! Pictures and English are added to be more explicit and clearer.
This 26-page powerpoint contains the most used radicals which can help enhancing the reading techniques. In reading, when there is a word students don’t know they can always guess the meaning by checking the radicals.
