My neighbor found this in her attic and asked me to see if I could get the symbols translated. Will you please help?

they're not symbols, they're characters (sorry i had to say it) :)
it's the same very basic words over and over again - family related words from the first to fourth column, body parts in the fifth column and elements of nature in the last. looks like someone was practising their penmanship!

Yup - from what my neighbor told me her friend had been very into learning Chinese and had given this to her as a gift. There's a date on the back of the page saying it was given on May 29th, 1983.
