Lots of information about the classic Chinese song "The Moon Represents My Heart" including characters, Pinyin and renditions by Deng Lijun, Andy Lau and many other famous Chinese people. Very appropriate for Moon Festival!

Here are some more ways to practice your Chinese:
The University of Southern California's index page for Integrated Chinese. It contains an index to all the vocabulary for Integrated Chinese, including animated stroke order and pronunciation for each character in the primary vocabulary. Unfortunately, it doesn't include pronunciation of full words, only single characters.
A practice page from the Centre for Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language at Oxford University. Also contains a good explanation of sandhi, with examples to practice by.
ChinesePod podcast's mp3 recording of all the classroom expressions from Integrated Chinese (p. 26-27 in your textbook). Seems to be in a semi-random order, but still good practice.
From Sinosplice (related to ChinesePod), there are tone pair drills including a number of bisyllabic adjectives, very useful for practicing tone sandhi. (Download and unzipping required.)
From Shufawest, a couple pages to practice tones of single characters and tones of bisyllabic words. It unfortunately doesn't include transcription (Pinyin spelling) of the words you're listening to, but it's very good for recognizing tones.
Keep up the good work!
