A Short Intensive Course of New HSK, aimed at providing pre-exam guidance and intensive training for the New HSK candidates and training institutions, includes 10 volumes altogether, i.e., the intensive training courses respectively for levels 3~6, the workbooks supporting the intensive courses, the volumes for intermediate spoken Chinese and advanced spoken Chinese. The intensive training course for each level provides two model tests and specific intensive training on the testing points and difficult points about grammar, vocabulary etc., the common errors, and test-taking strategies. The model tests and exercises demonstrate similarity to the official New HSK in difficulty.

This book, written for the New HSK (Level 6) training institutions, candidates and their Chinese teachers, is based on the testing points and difficult points of level 6, illustrating them with examples from the past tests, combining instruction with practice, reinforcing learning through immediate exercises, and making timely summaries so that candidates can make steady progress. It also studies the key words prescribed in the outline of level 6. The book is divided into the following parts: About the Test/Introduction to the Structure/Advice for Users—Model Test 1 (pre-tutorial test so that you’ll find your weak points)—Unit of Listening Comprehension (specific training)—Unit of Reading Comprehension (specific training)—Unit of Writing (specific training)—Model Test 2 (summary, warm-up exercise before the real test). The stylistic features are explained in detail in the writing part, illustrating and analysing them with students’ sample essays.
