Features: "Grammar for the New Mind" proposes that grammar is not "dead" sentence-making rules, but a "living" language of thinking. "Grammar for the New Mind" not only teaches you "what" the rules are but also lets you understand "why" behind the rules. Thus, you not only master the rules but also develop an English way of thinking. Zhang Mansheng, founder of the English grammar training program at New Oriental School, has been engaged in English translation and teaching for many years. Through long-term English practice, he broke through traditional grammar teaching and proposed the brand-new grammar concept of "Grammar is Thinking." This makes learning grammar no longer about memorizing "dead" rules but about cultivating a "living" English way of thinking. He has written the book "Grammar for the New Mind," which ranked second among grammar books in the national foreign language bestseller list of "21st Century English News" in 2000. The series of grammar he has now launched, including "Grammar for the New Mind: Getting Closer to Grammar," "Grammar for the New Mind: Understanding Grammar," and "Grammar for the New Mind: Mastering Grammar," are the result of his decade-long dedicated research.
