buanryoh -

I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on improving my spoken chinese, not tones,
conversational (i already know around 3000 characters and I'm not sure how many words) without
actually have anyone to respond to what I saw. Basically, I want to improve my Chinese without
having anyone to respond, as I don't currently live in China. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I think, language acquisition requires interactive involvements.
Of course, you can improve your Chinese without having anyone to respond by verbal repetition,
practising yourself in front of a mirror, etc. But you could progress much quicker if you have the
right environment, say studying in China, having Chinese-speaking friends etc.

OneEye -

Find someone that speaks Chinese and make a point of meeting up every once in a while to practice.
It doesn't have to be a real tutor per se, just a friend or someone willing to help. Once I know
enough to actually converse, there's a guy that owns a Chinese restaurant down the street from me
that is willing to talk to me for a few minutes a few times per week. There's also a Chinese
book/DVD/CD store a couple towns away and the owner teaches me something new every time I go in. I
work in a restaurant, and there are a few Chinese families that request my section when they come
in because I make an effort to say a few phrases to them in their language. They tip quite well
for it, too.

The point is to find someone that doesn't mind helping. It should be do-able.

try thinking in chinese. when you walk to the subway, brush your teeth, wait for your toast to pop
out of the toaster, try to actively think in chinese. try it, you'll be suprised!

flameproof -

Read a lot (for fun, not learning material)
Listen a lot (i.e. the Antiwave podcasts)
Watch some Chinese TV, maybe "Pink Lady / 粉红女郎" (Sex & The City, Shanghai style)
Chat online (use QQ, it's also great for voice chat, 99.9% of users are Chinese)
Do whatever you like to do, but in Chinese

ange9s -

You'd be surprised at how many Chinese people in your area would be willing to speak with you in
Chinese if you help them with English as well. Try putting up a note on any local university
bulletin boards, I'll bet you'll get responses.

buanryoh -

Thanks for the help, must of the mentioned methods I am already carrying out, but it just seems
like I am not improving as fast as I want. I found 粉红女郎 on PPstream, so I'm watching that
at the moment!

If you want to work on fluency take a couple pieces of A4 and divide them into equal pieces
(something like a business card).

Write a word on each piece, put them together and shuffel them up. Make sure each work is face up
read to be read (so you can just flip through them).

Look at the first word and start talking (in Chinese of course), include that word in whatever
you're saying as quickly as possible and go on to the second word and include that as possible.
Just get through as many words as you can as quickly as you can and create the story as you go.

The idea is to learn how to recall the words quickly and speed up fluency.

Cross-strait chartered cargo flights to debut

www.chinanews.cn 2006-07-19 09:10:13

(Source: Xinhua)

July 19 - The first chartered cargo flights between the Chinese mainland
and Taiwan are due to begin on Wednesday.
A Boeing 747-400 cargo plane, operated by the Taiwan-based "China
Airlines", will take off from the Taoyuan Airport in Taipeiat 10:00 p.m.
on Wednesday and arrive at the Pudong International Airport in Shanghai
at 1:00 a.m. on Thursday.
The mainland-based Cross-Strait Aviation Transport Exchange Council and
the Taipei Airlines Association agreed on a framework for chartered
flights for festivals and special cases on June 14.
The five chartered cargo flights will carry equipment, parts and
components to be used in factories on the mainland that owned by Taiwan
business people.
Chartered flights will run during Qingming, or the tomb-sweeping
festival, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, in
addition to the Chinese lunar new year season, according to the agreement.
The two sides also agree to open chartered flights for emergency medical
rescue, first aid for the handicapped and chartered cargo flights.
Air cargo from Taiwan is usually first transported to Hong Kong and
carried from that special administrative region by the Shanghai-based
China Eastern Airlines or by the HK-based Dragon Air to Shanghai.
It is believed that operation of chartered cargo flights will help slash
cargo transport cost and promote trade and economic cooperation between
the two sides across the Taiwan Straits.
Some analysts said the start of chartered flights for festivals and cargo
service could be a big step toward Taiwan lifting a five-decade ban on
regular air links across the Straits.
Cross-strait chartered flights with stopovers in Hong Kong or Macao began
in the Spring Festival in 2003.

Almost 7,000 evacuated as typhoon nears SE China

www.chinanews.cn 2006-07-14 10:19:39

(Source: Xinhua)

July 14 - More than 6,900 people, mainly seafood farmers, had been
evacuated from their homes in Southeast China by Thursday afternoon as
Typhoon Bilis approached, local authorities said.
As of 5:00 p.m. Thursday, the eye of Bilis was located about 120 km

around 15 to 20 km per hour toward eastern Taiwan, packing winds of 117
km per hour, the provincial observatory of Fujian forecast Thursday.
Bilis, the fourth typhoon to threaten China this year, is estimated to
land on northeastern Taiwan on Thursday night and on the mainland
province of Fujian at Friday noon.
The observatory issued alarms against rainstorms and strong winds. As of
4:30 p.m. Thursday, more than 8,900 fishing boats had been directed back
to harbor.
All passenger liners had suspended services in Fujian. Air traffic in the
province continued, but local airports were on high alert to make
responsive changes in fights, according to the provincial office for
flood and drought relief.
Meanwhile, water conservation workers were checking reservoirs in
preparation for flooding as the storm was expected to bring rainfalls of
up to 250 mm from Thursday night.
The fishery departments of eastern Zhejiang Province, neighboring Fujian,
has also issued warnings of high seas and rainstorms, advising vessels to
return to harbor ahead of the storm.

China opens Qinghai-Tibet Railway with first train setting off to Tibet

www.chinanews.cn 2006-07-01 17:15:25

(Source: Xinhua)

GOLMUD, July 1 - China on Saturday opened the world's most elevated
railway with the first pair of passenger trains traveling across the
"roof of the world".
Two trains set off at Golmud and Lhasa, the two start-up points of the
Qinghai-Tibet Railway that is dubbed an "engineering marvel" that has
linked Tibet with the rest of China for the first time.
A passenger train coded "Qing 1" pulled out from the Golmud station at
11:05 a.m., carrying about 600 passengers including role models of
builders of the railway, representatives from the Chinese government,
journalists from official media organizations including Xinhua News
Agency and CCTV, in addition to ordinary passengers who bought their own
tickets.
Plates inscribed with the words of "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces",
standards set by President Hu Jintao to boost socialist morality, were
hung in the cars of the train, which is scheduled to arrive in Lhasa at
midnight.
Before the train left, Hu made a keynote speech at a launching ceremony
of the railway, and cut the red ribbon for the opening of the railway.
The opening to traffic of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, Hu said, is another
magnificent accomplishment we have achieved in our socialist
modernization drive. Construction of the Qinghai-Tibet railroad is a
long-cherished dream of generations of the Chinese people.
"The project is not only a magnificent feat in China's history of railway
construction, but is also a great miracle of the world's railroad
history," he told an audience of 2,600 on a square in front of the Golmud
railway station.
Some 1,142 kilometers away, Tibet's regional capital Lhasa saw off a
train bound for Lanzhou, capital of northwest China's Gansu Province, at
11:12 a.m.. The train, coded "Tibet 2", carries about 700 passengers in
16 compartments and is expected to arrive in Lanzhou in 30 hours.
Norbu, a 28-year-old Tibetan farmer from Gonggar, left home before
daybreak to join the celebrations at Lhasa railway station and to catch a
glimpse of the train. "I'll board a train myself sometime to visit the
inland areas."
Xie Yuke from Qinghai provincial railway administration, 35, a Han
Chinese, is piloting the train's maiden trip on the plateau. Among the
passengers are Tibetan herdsmen, farmers, retired governmental officials,
builders of the railway and journalists.
Trains traveling across the roof of the world, with extra oxygen pumped
into the cabins to prevent passengers from suffering altitude sickness,
will traverse a mountain pass sitting 5,072 meters above sea level as it
rises up to the Tibetan plateau, and will drive through the Hoh Xil,
China's largest area of uninhabited land.
The cars were installed with environment-friendly toilets, wastewater
deposit tank and garbage treatment facilities to protect environment
along the railroad.
All the Chinese characters that appear on the electronic screen in each
railway car have been translated into Tibetan and English.
The Qinghai-Tibet railway is 1,956 kilometers long, with 960 km of the
track located 4,000 meters above the sea level and the highest point at
5,072 meters. The project is dubbed an "engineering marvel" because
people used to think the perennial ice and slush along the route could
never support tracks and trains.
The railway is projected to help double tourism revenues by 2010 and
reduce transport costs for goods by 75 percent in Tibet, officials said.

Central Bank Governor encourages Employee Stockholding

www.chinanews.cn 2006-05-25 16:03:54

Chinanews, May 25 - Shareholding reform is the main direction of
financial reforms and employee shareholding system is one of the
important reform measures. Yesterday, China's central bank governor Zhou
Xiaochuan publicly encouraged state-owned banks to implement long-term
employee stock ownership incentive programs.
Zhou Xiaochuan indicated that the reform of Chinese enterprises is in the
direction of shareholding reform, corporate governance is the core
content of shareholding reform and one essential element in corporate
governance is how the interests of relevant parties are properly dealt
with.
Zhou Xiaochuan said that on the question of employee stock ownership,
there was a period of chaos in China regarding this issue in the 1990's.
At that time, the so-called employee stock and original shares have no
clear delineation under any system. As a result, control or placement of
employee stocks was basically in the hands of insiders. Since there were
no requisite legal procedures, the result was massive corruption and
bribery. Today, these conditions have changed, company laws are clearer
and the markets have begun to mature.
At present, a large number of Chinese financial institutions are carrying
out shareholding reforms, with state-owned bank shareholding reform
making important strides and insurance companies and securities firms all
pursuing this line of work. "In the midst of this corporate shareholding
reform, some companies have proposed employee stock ownership plans."
Zhou Xiaochuan said.
Zhou Xiaochuan indicated that according to international experience,
employee stock ownership facilitates staff retention as well as insider
control, not to mention raising risk awareness. Therefore, these employee
stock plans can help the healthy development of technology firms,
talent-dependent organizations as well as knowledge-based enterprises.

China to publish framework of IPR strategy in August

www.chinanews.cn 2006-05-22 15:26:34

Chinanews, May 22 �C The framework of the nation's intellectual property
strategy right (IPR) will surface in August, The Economic Observer
Newspaper reported, citing Wen Xikai, Secretary-general of the Office of
Leading Group on Making Intellectual Property Rights Strategy
(Intellectual Property Rights Office).
The questions concerning whether the administrative departments related
with IPR would be amalgamated and how was the amalgamation to be effected
were expected to be unveiled at that time.
The nation's IPR strategy involves an argumentation about the combination
of the three administrative departments including patent, trade mark and
copyright, which were faced with the relocation of rights. Li Mingde,
researcher of the Intellectual Property Rights Research Centre of the
Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) said CASS was at present
leading the study of the project on the argumentation with full effort.
The strategy includes one outline and twenty special topics, with the
legal topic studied by CASS. The law enforcement included in the topic
will involve the establishment of law enforcement departments, or the
questions of who is the subject of the law enforcement, and whether the
related departments would be amalgamated.
Zhao Gang, Deputy Chief of the Trademark Bureau in the State
Administration of Industry and Commerce, said the present department
arrangement was the result of several historical reasons.
"In the early days of the People's Republic, there was a department in
charge of trade mark , which had originally involved patent,�� Zhao said.

It was learned from the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium on May 16 that the staff
found an egg gestating twin sharks laid by a White Spotted Bamboo Shark.
Such an identical twin shark egg is rare even in the whole world. If it
is successfully incubated, it will set the record of the first identical
twin sharks naturally propagated in a man-made environment in the world.
