• 3. Chinese character recognition presentations

  The Mandarin language often uses words that simply describe the meaning. Sometimes it can be a useful way to learn Mandarin words by recognising each individual character and its meaning. 

  The earliest form of Chinese writing is from around 4000 years ago. Simple drawings were found on animal bones. The Chinese characters have changed over time but we can sometimes use the ancient drawings to help us see pictures within the modern characters. 

  It is best to work through the habitats presentation before attempting the threats presentation.
