PrefacePurpose of Startup Business ChinesePLEAfter the implementation of the Open Door policy, China has become a dominant force in globalbusiness, competing with other economic superpowers like the U.S. and Japan. As China’s businessdevelopments continue to expand, transform, and urbanize, opportunities for foreigners to work or dobusiness in China will abound for decades to come. Understanding the Chinese language and culturehas become an important professional business tool to work with. The Startup Business Chinese series isdeveloped to serve this exact purpose. This textbook is the third level in the series.Startup Business Chinese 3 is designed for students and business professionals who wish to acceleratetheir language proficiency with a business focus, so that they can acquire essential communication skillsand consequently conduct business more effectively in China.SAMIt is the author’s hope that through practical and situational dialogues on relevant business topics, whichinclude industry and workplace-specific vocabulary and expressions, learners may become betterequipped to interact with their local colleagues, employees, and clients in China. Business-relatedcultural points are discussed to facilitate understanding of the necessary Chinese regulations, socialcustoms, and protocols. Overall, interactive communication skills are prioritized to enable learners toreach beyond an intermediate level of Chinese language proficiency in a reasonable amount of time.Features of This BookLearning ObjectivesSimilar to Startup Business Chinese Level 2, each lesson begins with key points outlining what studentsare expected to learn.Situational DialoguesThis textbook consists of 12 lessons. Each lesson has a dialogue based on a storyline. Using StartupBusiness Chinese Level 1 and 2 as a foundation, the text features a narrative passage, followed by adialogue in each lesson. The dialogues aim to provide students with an authentic business conversationin both context and content. Students will be able to apply these dialogues to real-life businesssituations.The dialogues from each lesson are presented in two forms: simplified Chinese characters and, in thebox underneath, pinyin Romanization. Students are encouraged and expected to read the Chinesedialogue without the aid of the pinyin, and should refer to the pinyin only when necessary. The authorPrefaceSBC3-Frontmatter.indd ixix2013/9/25 19:09:40
understands that some teachers may choose not to emphasize character writing, and therefore provides the pinyin forstudents who have not been trained in writing Chinese characters.VocabularyThere are a total of 686 new words, which introduce students to terms that are used in day-to-day operations, and withbusiness partners at social events.Each lesson features two vocabulary lists. The first list contains words that appear in the lesson’s dialogue, andimmediately follows the pinyin dialogue. The second list, labeled Additional Vocabulary, includes words usedthroughout the rest of the lesson in the Sentence Patterns. This list precedes the Sentence Patterns section. Words inthe Additional Vocabulary section are terms that are used both in the business environment and in everyday life.Additionally, simplified and traditional characters are presented in juxtaposition, along with indications for words withmore than one expression and pronunciation.Sentence PatternsPLEEach lesson dialogue introduces relevant sentence patterns and new words. The patterns are explained in clear languagebased on structure and usage. Both formal and informal business usages are included in examples. In addition, mostexamples are presented in a mini-dialogue format to ensure that the reader will learn the accurate semantic usage andimprove their communication skills. Each sentence has its own English translation for self-study, immediatelyaccompanied by a Practice Section for further opportunities to master the pattern.Cultural PointsMWhile Startup Business Chinese Level 1 and Level 2 provided students with a convenient side-by-side Chinese text andRomanization guide, Startup Business Chinese Level 3 minimizes this dependence on Romanization, only providingpinyin for new words. Every lesson has a large amount of vocabulary; this is intended to provide learners withopportunities for sustainable self-study.SAGiven that culture is an integral part to learning any language, each lesson includes key cultural notes in the dialogues,sentence examples and vocabulary. Though most notes are embedded in the dialogues, a separate cultural point is alsoincluded in each lesson. These cultural points highlight important aspects of business practices in different regions inChina, giving learners a deeper understanding of various Chinese business cultures, which promoteinterpersonal relations and overall socio-cultural competence.Downloadable AudioThe textbook includes access to supplementary online audio materials, with all of the dialogues, vocabulary words,and sentence patterns. Audio files facilitate development of accurate pronunciation and listening comprehensioninteractively. Authenticity, accuracy and quality of pronunciation are ensured, as the speakers on the files are all nativeChinese speakers. You can download these audio files at www.cheng-tsui.com/downloads.ExercisesAdditional practice exercises based on the main dialogues, vocabulary, and sentence patterns can be found at the end ofeach lesson. This practice material provides a variety of exercises to sharpen communication skills through reading,writing and listening comprehension with the audio downloads described above. Through a function-based approach,the exercises progress from simple questions and tasks to more complicated, open ended questions focusing on thecontent of the lesson. The exercises also emphasize building up one’s vocabulary, knowledge of grammar, and thelesson’s subject matter, with an ultimate focus on cultivating high level communication abilities.xStartup Business Chinese 3SBC3-Frontmatter.indd x2013/9/25 19:09:41

In America,hiring procedures are heavily influenced by an individual’s qualifications and capabilities.Each candidate submits resumes to companies and then waits for a call back. In most cases,job get it.MAmerica is known to be a country of equal opportunity: those who qualify and deserve to have theSAOn the other hand, in China, what you are or are not capable of has less of an impact. Being able tospeak English has always been a highly sought after qualification in multinational corporations.Aside from that, many companies look for people that fit into the company’s image. There is greateremphasis placed on outer appearance and on an individual’s social network.For example, a Chinese employer looks at whether or not the candidate is respectful and consideratein the way he or she behaves and speaks. This is important because it demonstrates how well the personwill be able to work with others in the company. Physical appearance is also very important because acompany’s employees represent the visual image of the company itself. This is important for a companyif it wants to appeal to the public. However, people often rely on connections to get a job. A friend orrelative may know someone in a particular business, and introduce the job seeker to that connection.Rather than primarily relying on skill and talent, it is more common for Chinese people to usenetworking to get jobs.Lesson 1 Job InterviewSB3-1-Lesson 1.indd 11ᑾຨධ၌ 112013/9/23 16:40:41
