This is Workbook 5 in the series of Easy Steps to Chinese（French Edition）, providing exercises closely related to the content in Textbook 5. Compared with the previous four volumes, this volume puts more emphasis on the training of students’ understanding of the whole passage. So, it not only includes exercises for each lesson, 5 units of reviews and tests, and the vocabulary list indexed on pinyin, but also adds more reading comprehension exercises. The passages are longer and more difficult, in which some words not listed in the vocabulary appear. This greatly improves students reading comprehension ability and cultivates students’ overall language ability.
