The two volumes of Longman Advanced English Reading maintain their characteristics as university textbooks in publication. The sections on reading skills use Chinese translations or Chinese-English side-by-side formats, while the reading passages and accompanying exercises are entirely in English.
The first volume focuses on guiding the improvement of reading skills: from refining reading habits, scientifically mastering vocabulary, overcoming various reading comprehension obstacles, analyzing the writing style and techniques of works, to flexibly selecting reading methods and adjusting reading speed.
The second volume guides advanced readers to learn analytical reading, which involves analyzing and reflecting on the texts and works they read based on their existing knowledge and critical evaluation abilities. This section includes: learning to draw conclusions and make inferences, grasping different types of vocabulary, tone, inclination, and perspectives, and reading visual and online information.
The main textbook's reading passages include three major categories: essays, textbooks, and literary works, covering a wide range of contemporary social, political, technological, lifestyle, and even philosophical hot topics, offering both knowledge and appreciation.
