The Teacher: Contemporay Chinese Poems, with English Translation

Poetry has always been vital to language acquisition, beginning with nursery rhymes and songs. This book, however, is intended for all readers. It contains a hundred original poems in Chinese, with English translation, on a wide variety of contemporary topics. They are all short, in classical Chinese styles. Instructors can use them as classroom readings, and translation exercises, for beginning Chinese students, also intermediate and advanced. Chinese parents may read them to their children, and the children recite them with their grandparents.
