Each unit covers a specific style of writing and is reinforced with a rich selection of model texts. All texts are followed by supporting notes examining the formats, styles, grammar structures or special phrases featured. A wide variety of exercises are featured throughout, and each unit concludes with a helpful glossary given in Chinese characters, pinyin and English translations. An answer key is also included in the back of the book. The following writing styles and genres are covered:
- Personal correspondence-greetings and condolences, explanations and apologising, making arrangements and keeping in touch
- Formal writing-announcements and adverts, letters of enquiry and application, business correspondence, developing an argument, facts and data
- Narration-story narratives, reporting speech, exemplifying and summarising
- Description and comparison-outlining people's characters, physical attributes and appearance, places and weather

Industry Reviews
'When I taught a composition class to third-year students of Chinese a couple of years ago ... I could not find any textbook in English on teaching writing to learners of Chinese in the West. Here, at last, is such a textbook ... The carefully constructed samples not only illustrate how the Chinese language is used in writing, but also reflect developments in China.' - Times Higher Education Supplement
'Developing Writing Skills in Chinese covers a wide range of styles from greeting cards to business correspondence, which is helpful for both teacher and learner.' - Song Lianyi, Times Higher Education Supplement
