N-2 & N-3
Language Notes (independent)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO6FM1SLcF4
1. 记得 (jìde, to remember) vs. 想起来 (xiǎng qi lai, to remember; to recall): While 记得 (jìde) pertains to the continuous state of remembering, 想起来refers to the mental act of retrieving information from one’s memory. Thus one can say: “我记 得他上过我的课，可是我想不起来他叫什么名字。” I do remember he took my class, but I can’t think of his name at the moment).
N-2 Now I remember...... (any 2)
Do you remember how to say "forget" in Chinese?
Let me think...... Now I remember.
I cannot remember what the teacher told me.
Do you remember when I went to Paris?
2. 好好儿 +action (all out; to one’s heart’s content) is a colloquial expression that often precedes a verb to serve as an adverbial, e.g. 考试以后我要去纽约好好儿玩儿玩儿 (After the test I want to go to New York and have a great time).
Note the different tone for the reduplicated syllable 好. For the rules on the pronunciation of reduplicated monosyllabic adjectives, see Grammar 6 in Lesson 12.
N-3 Do well, otherwise (any 3)
You must review well for your final exam, otherwise you will do bad.
My grandma always asks me to eat well. Otherwise I won't be healthy.
You should think well before you speak. Otherwise you will make people feel upset.
You must rest well. Otherwise you will get sick.
You must sleep well tonight. Otherwise tomorrow you will feel very tired.
Grammar 4. Directional Complements (II)
Directional complements indicate the direction in which a person or object moves.
A directional verb such as 上 ( to go up), 下 ( to go down), 进 (jìn, to go in), 出 (chu, to go out), 回 (huí, to return), 过 (guò, to go over), 起 (qǐ, to rise), 开 (kāi, to part from), 到 (dào, to arrive), 来 (lái, to come) or 去 (qù, to go) can be placed after another verb to become what is known as a “simple directional complement.” When a simple directional complement such as 上, 下, 进, 出, 回, 过, 起, 开 or 到is combined with 来 or 去 , we have what is called a “compound directional complement.”
Simple directional Complements:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zplAUz0ly9U
Pattern I: subject + verb + noun phrase + directional complement
A. Subject + Verb + Place Word / Noun (Phrase) + 来/去
1. 她 下 楼 来。(She is coming downstairs.)
2. 她上楼去。 (She is going upstairs.)
3. 请 你 买 一些水果 来。(Please buy some fruit [and bring it] here.)
4. 你给他送一点儿吃的东西去。 (Take some food to him.)
When a verb is followed by a location word, that verb can only be a directional verb such as 上, 下 , 进 , 出 , 回 , 过 , or到 , as shown in (1) and (2).
N-4
She ran to the school.
My cousin called here.
I sent a text message to my boyfriend.
My dad returned home.
He brought some Chinese food home.
B. Subject + Verb +来/去+ Noun
5. 他买来了一些水果。 (He bought some fruit and brought it here.)
When the object of the verb is a location word, the sentence can only appear in Pattern A, as in (1) and (2). When the object is a regular noun and the action is not completed, the sentence often appears in Pattern A as well, as in (3) and (4). If the action is completed, the sentence can appear either in Pattern A or in Pattern B.
Pattern A should therefore be memorized as the essential form.
Pattern II:
A. Subject + Verb + 上/下… + Place Word /Noun
6. 他走上楼。 (He walked upstairs.) [ The sentence doesn't indicate whether the speaker is upstairs or downstairs.]
7. 老师走进教室。 (The teacher walked into the classroom.)
[The sentence doesn't indicate whether the speaker is in the classroom or not.]
8. 他拿出一张纸。 (He took out a piece of paper.)
N-5
He stood up and walked into the living room.
Grandma walked into her bedroom and lied down.
People nearby all came in the library and sat down.
Every kid all jumped up and jump down and then ran out of the gym.
3/16
Please read the grammar notes carefully, then do the translation for each part. You may choose to do all or half the amount of the sentences for each part.
2. Compound Directional Complements
A. Subject + Verb + 上/下… + Place Word / Noun+ 来/去
9. 她走下楼来。 (She walked downstairs.)[The speaker is downstairs.]
10. 老师走进教室去/来。 (The teacher walked into the classroom.)[With 去, the speaker is not in the classroom; with 来, the speaker is in the classroom.]
11. 弟弟跳上床来/去。 (My little brother jumped onto the bed.)[With 来, the speaker is on the bed; with 去, the speaker is not on the bed.]
12. 我的同学走进书店来/去。 (My classmate walked into the bookstore.)[With 来, the speaker was in the bookstore; with 去, the speaker was not in the bookstore.]
13. 请你买回一些梨来。 (Please buy some pears and bring them back here.)
14. 他拿出一张纸来。 (He took out a piece of paper.)
15. 请大家都拿起笔来。 (Please pick up a pen, everyone.)
起 (qi), in the same way as 起来 (qi lai), signifies a movement from a lower point to a higher point. However, 起 compounds only with 来 , never with, in forming a directional complement combination.
The difference between 上and 起 is that 上 is followed by a location word which indicates the end point of the movement, while 起 never precedes a location word.
16. 走上楼 (to go upstairs) (16a) *走起楼 is incorrect.
N-6
He walks upstairs towards me.
Dad took out some money then gave the money to me.
The teacher asked the students to take out their cellphones.
Would you please bring some ice-tea back here?
The cops walked into the courtroom and sat down next to the judge.
why don't you send the email to the principal?
3. B. Subject + Verb + 上/下… + 来/去 + Noun
他买回来了一些水果。 (He bought some fruit and brought it back here.)
As in the case of the simple directional compounds, when the object is a location word, the sentence appears only in Pattern A, as in (11) and (12). If the object is a regular noun and the action is not completed, the sentence often appears in Pattern A as well, as in (13), (14), and (15). If the action is completed, the sentence can appear either in Pattern A or in Pattern B. Again, Pattern A should be memorized as the essential form.
When the 把 (bǎ) construction is used with a directional complement, the sentence can appear in either of these two patterns:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rTtP-Iz3NQ
I. Simple Directional Complement
Subject + 把 + Object + Verb + 来/去
18. 请把你的床搬来。 (Please move your bed here.)
19. 把这杯冰茶拿去。(Take this glass of iced tea [with you].)
II. Compound Directional Complement
Subject + 把 + Object +Verb + 上/下… (+ place word) + 来/去
20. 我把书拿起来了。 (I picked up the book.)
21. 快把车开回家去。 (Drive the car back home right away.)
4. N-7. The Big Move
You are moving into the second-floor apartment in the house shown in the picture on the left. You are standing with all your stuff on the first floor, while the previous tenant has left behind some of her stuff upstairs. Tell the movers how to finish the move.
Before & After
Hint: For things to be moved upstairs, you should say 把 搬/拿上 楼）去; for things to be placed downstairs, you should say 把 搬/拿下（ 楼）来 .

2. move the desk downstairs ( we upstairs now)
3. move the fridge downstairs (we are downstairs now)

5. move the bed upstairs (we are upstairs now)
6. move the computer downstairs ( we are upstairs now)

Example:
A: 这是我刚买的鞋，你看看怎么样？
1. music/listen
2. calligraphy brush/write
3. fruits/eat
4. ice tea/drink
6. N-9 . Ask Nicely! 可不可以？能不能？看看/听听/用用/找找/练习练习

2. You want your partner to have a look at the characters you have written.
3. You wish to listen to your partner’s music.

N-15 Reading Practice
1，在中国近代以前，婚姻几乎总是由父母包办。未婚的青年男女之间的亲密接触被严格禁止。传统上，中国人回避在任何公共场所展示亲密的感情。甚至直到二十世纪八十年代，人们很少看到一对夫妇走在街上会手牵手，但今天，对夫妇或者是任何相爱的人在公共场合下拥抱和亲吻对方人们都不会大惊小怪。甚至亲朋好友之间都会见面时热情拥抱。
2，根据一个有近两千年前诞生的浪漫的传说，农历/阴历七月份的第七天是一年中牛郎和织女能够见面的日子。这个古代传说中的一对恩爱夫妻被强行分开，只被允许在唯一的一天在银河的喜鹊桥上见面相会。
3，情人节，虽然本来是一个西方的节日，可是在中国现在越来越流行，尤其是城市里的年轻人。在西方，情人节是零售商和餐馆商家的大日子，因为不论是年轻人还是中老年人都肯花钱大手大脚买玫瑰花，巧克力和去吃烛光晚餐。同时，有一些人中国人一直在推动，把农历的七月七日称为中国人的“情人节”，因为那天是牛郎和织女（中国传说中的情人）一年一度见面的日子。
4，中国人通常很在意“面子”，不仅为自己，而且同时也为其他人留面子。如果有人有请求，中国人通常会想方设法找借口和理由，婉言拒绝，而不是直截了当地拒绝。这样大家都不会觉得难为情，或者是难堪。
5，看电影是在中国城市夜生活的一部分，特别是出去约会的时候。与此同时，京剧，这个传统的娱乐形式，曾经盛行于许多城市，尤其是北方，已经在与电影，电视，卡拉OK俱乐部，和网吧的竞争下失势。
Culture Highlights
1. In premodern China, marriages were almost invariably arranged by the parents. Intimate contact between unmarried young men and women was strictly prohibited. Traditionally, Chinese people shied away from any public display of affection. Even as recently as the 1980s, one seldom saw a couple walking on the street hand-in-hand, but today people do not make much fuss about couples hugging and kissing each other in public.
2. Valentine’s Day, a Western holiday, is becoming popular in China now, especially among young people in the cities. As in the West, it is commercially a big day for retailers and restaurants, and young people spend lavishly on roses, chocolates, and candlelight dinners. Meanwhile, some people have been pushing to make the seventh day of the seventh month on the lunar calendar the Chinese “Valentine’s Day,” or 情人节 (Qíng rénjié).
3. According to a romantic legend that came into existence nearly two millennia ago, the seventh day of the seventh month is the only day of the year when the Cowherd and the Weaving Girl, a loving couple that was forcibly separated, are allowed to meet each other on a bridge of magpies over the Silver River (银河, Yínhé), the Chinese name for the Milky Way.
4. Chinese people are typically very concerned about “saving face,” not only for themselves but for other people as well. That is the reason a Chinese person would usually try to find excuses when turning down a request or an offer, instead of rejecting it bluntly.
5. Seeing movies is part of the nightlife in Chinese cities, especially for people going out on dates. Meanwhile, Peking (Beijing) opera (京剧, jīng jù), a traditional form of entertainment that once flourished in many cities, especially those in the north, has been losing ground in competition with films, TV, karaoke clubs, and internet bars.
Progress Checklist
Before proceeding to Lesson 17, be sure you can complete the following tasks in Chinese:
I am able to—
ü Set up a movie date or another outing with friends;
ü Comment on how much work it takes to make arrangements for a date;
ü Invite someone to go on a date;
ü Accept an invitation to go on a date;
ü Courteously decline a date;
ü End a phone conversation without being rude.

我也很忙。因为我每天不但要学中文, 而且也要打工。
我也很忙,也很累。
为什么,你最近都做了些什么?
我最近交了很多的中国人的朋友,他们常常邀请我一起打篮球,打网球,踢足球。我们也常常一起去上街购物。
看起来你每天很开心, 对不对?
是的,你呢?
因为我每天很忙,所以我没有时间交朋友。
这个周末你有时间吗?
我还不知道。你有什么事吗?
没什么事儿。我只是想邀请你跟我一起去餐馆吃饭,怎么样?
你想去哪家餐馆?
你喜欢吃中餐,还是喜欢吃西餐?
我最喜欢吃中餐,尤其是水饺。
