这个周末的功课：政府

This weekend's homework is about culture: It provides a chance to learn more about the details of China's government - the realities of picking a president to lead China through the next decade.

I would like for students to listen to this report that aired on NPR's "Talk of the Nation" on Thursday.  Please listen carefully and take detailed notes!  To get to the report, click HERE.

Next, please read this article on the logistics of the 18th Party Congress.  Read carefully and take good notes!  To get to the article, click HERE.

Here, also, is a link to the profile of Xi Jin Ping that we listened to in class this week.  You may want to revisit the report, or share!  Click HERE.

Today, Saturday, this article printed in the New York Times: "Google is Blocked in China as Party Congress Begins."

I will check your notes on Monday, and we'll have a talk about what you've learned, differences between China and the US, etc.

第六课：打电话
