关于我
Guānyú wǒ — All About Me
The Grade 3 capstone. No new vocabulary — instead, everything from the year gets assembled into one spoken-and-written self-portrait that students present to the class and keep.
What students produce
One project, two halves:
- Written: a 10–12 sentence illustrated profile, handwritten in characters
- Spoken: a 90-second presentation of it to the class, from notes rather than a script
What it has to include
One or more sentences drawn from each unit of the year:
- Name, age and family — Grades 1–2
- Their daily routine, in order, with times — Unit 1
- Their room and what’s in it — Unit 2
- What they eat and what it tastes like — Unit 3
- What they do for fun and how often — Unit 4
- Their favourite season and one reason — Unit 5
- What they’re wearing today — Unit 6
Four lessons to build it
Gather the pieces
Students revisit each unit and pull out the sentences they can already say confidently. Nothing new is learned.
Draft and illustrate
Writing the full profile in characters, with a drawing or photo for each section.
Rehearse in pairs
Reading it aloud to a partner, who asks one question — which is how students discover what they can’t yet say.
Present
90 seconds each, to the class. Notes allowed, reading word-for-word discouraged.
Three things, weighted evenly
- Does it communicate? Could a Chinese speaker who doesn’t know this child understand who they are? This matters most.
- Is the word order right? Specifically: time before verb, position word after place, 很 with adjectives and 是 with nouns.
- Is the writing legible? Correct stroke order and characters that fill their box — not beauty.
Tone errors in the presentation should not be marked down at this level. They’re still stabilising and will keep improving through Grade 5.
End-of-year check
A student ready for Grade 4 can:
- Read about 180 characters
- Write about 100 with correct stroke order
- Describe a day in sequence, with times in the right place
- Read a short paragraph and answer questions about it
Keep this project. Compared with the Grade 5 portfolio it becomes the clearest evidence of progress the program produces.
