This full-year course builds on the foundational knowledge and skills developed in Year 9 Chinese. Students will continue to strengthen their listening, speaking, reading, and writing abilities through practical and engaging topics centered around everyday life. The focus will be on using simple sentences to communicate about oneself, including describing family members, talking about daily routines and hobbies, and exploring popular Chinese foods and drinks. Through interactive activities and cultural insights, students will deepen their understanding of the Chinese language and develop greater confidence in using it for personal expression.
