Demonstrate, when producing oral and written texts, knowledge of Mandarin language concepts including vocabulary, sentence structure and linguistic conventions.

Indicators for this outcome

(a)	Pronounce Mandarin words with minimum support of hanyu pinyin (i.e. can independently recognize and read out loud words and sentences clearly and precisely).
(b)	Speak Mandarin in proper sentence order, clearly and with normal speed, under guided and unguided situations.
(c)	Produce proper words in different contexts (e.g., 形xíng似sì字zì，音yīn似shì字zì).
(d)	Correct the use of Standard Chinese characters that look alike but have different meanings (e.g., 错cuò别bié字zì).
(e)	Experiment with Standard Chinese characters with the same component (e.g., 月yuè – 明míng, 朋péng, 有yǒu, 鹏péng).
(f)	Write Standard Chinese characters in normal speed, neatly on blank paper (i.e., without the support of 2 by 2 boxes).
(g)	Practise Standard Chinese calligraphy in correct stroke order using brush and ink on paper with 3 by 3 boxes and proper posture.
(h)	Compose simple phrases, sentences and paragraphs using the following linguistic conventions such as: simple connectors (e.g., “和h é”. “跟gēn”, “但dàn是shì”, “虽suī然rán”); reflexive pronouns (e.g., “自z ì己j ǐ”); conjunctions in sentences (e.g., “又yòu … 又yòu…”, “要yào是shi … 就jiù…”, “不bú是shì … 就jiù是shì…”, “不bú但dàn … 而ér且qiě…”, “虽suī然rán … 但dàn是shì/也y ě…”, “假jiǎ如r ú … 就jiù…”, “一y ì边biān … 一y ì边biān…”); passive voice in a sentence (e.g., “被bèi”, “让ràng”, “给gěi”, “叫jiào”); percentage and fractional expressions in Standard Chinese (e.g., “百bǎi 分fēn 之zhī”(percentage), “三sān分fēn之zhī二è r”(²⁄₃) ). (Note the difference between how the percentage and fractions are read in Standard Chinese compared to English.); and, adjectives to describe intensity (e.g., “太tài…+adjective+ …了l e”).
