Direction verbs in Chinese include two groups ——monosyllabi
direction verbs and disyllabic direction verbs, as follows:

Meth ZK HK? Ni shénme shihou huflai?
Note: An object denoting location can’t follow a disyllabic direction
verb. It should be inserted between the two syllables of the verb. e.g.
RARMEREFRE, WO jintian wanshang bi hul xuexide qu.
AME LHS, Women shang shan qu ba.
 
Some adjectives can be reduplicated. The reduplicaied form of
monosyllabic adjectives is AA as in AK dada, 442 hénghdng; the
reduplicated form of disyllabic adjectives is AABB in which the second
syllable is pronounced lightly as in #8896 % pidopiacliangliang, % %-**
gaogaoxingxing. In this case, reduplication is used to intensify the adjective
and suggest description.
The reduplicated form of adjectives is usually followed by #4 de when
they function as predicates or attributives. e.g.
WHEY, ABH KARE,
Ta shoushdu de, gdogdo de, toufa chdngchang de.

solar calendar (identical with the Gregorian calendar first used in Western countries) and
the lunar calendar (also known as the agrarian calendar.) The lunar calendar is based on
the traditional Chinese calendric system which is calculated according to the moon’s
revolution around the earth in approximately 29.5 days. In the lunar system, a “greater
month” consists of 30 days and a “smaller month” consists of 29 days. There are 12
funar months in an ordinary lunar year, but since there are only 354-355 days a year in
this system, sometimes extra “intercalary” months are added to make up for the lost time
and keep the calendar in step with the seasons. According to tradition, the lunar
calendar was created during the Xia Dynasty (21st Century B.C. - 16th Century B.C.), so
it is also known as the Xia calendar today,
The principal traditional Chinese festivals are:
The Spring Festival, 4.7 Chin Jié: known in the West as Chinese New Year.
The Lantern Festival, # # % Yudnxido Jié: the fifteenth day of the first lunar
month,
The Grave-Visiting Day, %# 88 37 Oingming Jié: one of the twenty-four solar periods;
around the fifth of the fourth solar month,
The Dragon Boat Festival, 24+ ¥ DuGnwéi Jié: the fifth day of the fifth lunar
month.Mid-Autumn Festival, +P 4° Zhdngqili Jié: the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar
month. F
The Double-Ninth Festival, @ f “7 Chéngydng Jié: the ninth day of the ninth lunar
month.
The dates of official holidays in China are calculated according to the solar
Gregorian calendar:
New Year’s Day, 42. Yudndan: January Ist.
Women’s Day, #447 Funl Jié: March 8th.
Labour Day, 344 47 Ldodéng Jié: May Ist.
Youth Day, #-- 7% Qingnidn Jié: May 4th.
Children’s Day, JL 7 Erténg Jié: June Ist.

expected to complete at least three years of junior high school education after six years
of elementary school xidoxtie. After graduating from junior high school, students
generally go on to senior high school or a professional school. The six-year high school
zh6ngxUie system consists of three years of junior high chizh6ng, and three years of
senior high gGozh6ng. After graduating from high school and passing the higher
education entrance examination gGokGo, some students will be able to attend university.
An undergraduate degree program generally takes four years to complete. After
graduation, most people start to work, but some go on to become graduate students
yanjidshéng. Those who qualify for graduate school normally study three more years.
After they successfully defend their theses, they are awarded a master’s degree shudshi.
There are also some who study another three years or more to gain a Ph.D. degree boshi.
Aside from a small number of students whose homes are close to the university
campus, making it convenient for them to live at home, most Chinese university students
live in dormitories or student apartments, and they eat in the university’s cafeterias
shitang. Foreign students generally stay in the university’s foreign student residences,
but they can also rent rooms off campus. Some foreign students study together with
Chinese students in different departments, but many study Chinese in a special
department, which may be called the “International Cultural Exchange School”, “Institute
for Overseas Education” or “Centre for Chinese Teaching”.
Chinese universities use a credit system. There are two semesters in each school
year. The first semester runs from the first part of September to just before the Spring
 
BaselFestival (generally January of the next year). The second semester starts after the Spring
Festival (generally in February) and ends in the first part of July. Bach class is 45 to 50
minutes long, with a 10-minute break between classes.
