The book is aimed at both learners of the new HSK 3 and advanced students who want to improve their reading comprehension. Based on the new HSK 2, it covers the vocabulary and grammar of HSK 3 through 30 short stories. The content is aligned with the official examination framework. The learning material is evenly distributed across the reading texts. Before each text, the vocabulary and grammar are clearly presented and explained with many example sentences. The learning units systematically build on one another. Vocabulary and grammar that are often confused are clearly distinguished from each other. The texts are presented in Chinese script without Pinyin, in accordance with HSK 3. Each text includes a German translation and comprehension questions with answers on separate pages for assistance.
