Features: This book is avolume of the Preliminary Reading Course for "College English" and is intended for students in the Preliminary Level 1 of English at the university. The entire book consists of sixteen lessons and is designed for use over one semester. Each lesson is composed of pre-reading prompts, text, vocabulary, annotations, and exercises. The purpose of the pre-reading prompts is not only to set requirements for students' pre-class preparation but also to gradually cultivate good reading habits through "pre-reading self-check questions." The texts are all selected from original sources and have been carefully adapted. The adaptation aims to make the language simple, natural, and authentic while being rich in content, interesting, and. The exercises are not intended to be novel but rather to review and reinforce the main language, grammar, and vocabulary skills that students have already learned in middle school at a new level, in accordance with general requirements. This book is accompanied by a teacher's edition for reference during lesson preparation. To address the current shortage of teachers in schools and meet the needs of first- and second-level students for extracurricular review, consolidation, and deepening of English foundational knowledge and skills, the book is also equipped with recordings by American experts as well as video materials that can be directly used in classroom teaching.
