I have noticed some sentences can be improved with better wording; otherwise they are only suitable for school students or learners.
This book occasionally doesn't help readers use correct punctuation, though actually most Chinese also don't know how to use Chinese punctuation correctly.
It seems like there are a few phrases in traditional Chinese are directly translated from simplified Chinese. Though these phrases are understandable by Chinese, but it would be better if they were improved with better wording.
Just as the book states the curriculum and assessment framework for the AP Chinese Language and Culture undergoes continuous improvement, so I can't be too fussy about this book. This book is by far the best for AP Chinese Exam on Amazon.com.
