Demonstrate understanding of written Chinese related to everyday contexts
This standard tests whether you can read and understand written Chinese used in everyday situations like school, family, shopping, and holidays. You'll read passages and answer questions to show you've grasped the main ideas, details, and the writer's purpose — not just translate word-for-word, but actually understand what the text means and why it was written.
You identify the main ideas and communicate what the text is generally about, but you may directly quote or translate without fully explaining what it means.
You select specific evidence from the text and connect pieces of information together to show how ideas relate, with clear supporting details that confirm your understanding.
You interpret the writer's language and content choices precisely, fully construct your meaning, and justify your conclusions by showing detailed awareness of how the text achieves its purpose.
