As the name implies, Chinese Tools is mostly about tools for learners and teachers, but they also have 40 lessons for beginner students of Chinese. This is not reading practice in the sense of most other resources above, but going through simple texts like these is still worthwhile and there aren't than many sites that offer this completely for free.

Each lesson has several different dialogues that come with downloadable audio, vocabulary and so on. The only downside is that the website is badly organised and, to be honest, rather ugly, but don't judge a book by its cover!

For listening practice:

This is not a stand-alone listening resource, but since all lessons have easily downloadable mp3 files, it works well as a complement to whatever else you’re studying. The only downside is that the website is badly organised and, to be honest, rather ugly, but don’t judge a book by its cover!

Pros: Easy to access, only Chinese in audio clips, somewhat structured, comes with supporting content and tools

Cons: Audio quality not the best, very short dialogues

Sample lesson: Conversation 3 : What time do you have a break?
