Features: In China, there are many Japanese language teaching materials published now, but most of them are basic intensive reading textbooks for beginners. Although there are some reading materials available, they are often considered insufficient in number, with some content being outdated and rigid, lacking vitality, and failing to meet the needs of students or spark their interest in learning. Even learners of Japanese in society share similar feedback. It is common to hear people who have finished the Standard Japanese textbook asking, "What other textbooks should we study next?" In response to this situation, I compiled this Japanese Exciting Passage Reading. This book has the following features:
1. The passages are selected from books published in Japan in recent years, aiming for fresh themes and diverse content.
2. The selected texts are concise yet engaging, with lively language, humorous and witty plots, and profound meanings.
3. Each article is divided into four parts: vocabulary notes, grammar and sentence pattern explanations, exercises, and Chinese translations.
All the passages in this book are selected from books published in Japan in recent years, aiming for fresh themes and diverse content. With 50 articles and 50 topics, most focus on social and family life, including narratives, explanations, discussions, and fiction. While learners improve their language skills, they can also learn about the real society, daily life, customs, and perspectives of Japanese people on various matters.
The selected texts in this book are concise yet engaging, with lively language, humorous and witty plots, and profound meanings. Most of the content in this book was used as study material for students before publication and received positive feedback. Each article is divided into four parts: vocabulary notes, grammar and sentence pattern explanations, exercises, and Chinese translations. In the vocabulary notes, the pronunciation and tones of words are detailed, helping learners master them correctly. The grammar and sentence pattern explanations, as well as the exercises, include numerous examples for learners to practice translation independently, which aids in improving their understanding and translation skills.
This book can be used as a reading and translation textbook for Japanese courses in colleges and universities, or as a refresher material for those with some prior knowledge of Japanese.
