Renowned figures and experts in the field of English discuss reading:
"DRY, BORING ENGLISH IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. DO NOT ALWAYS PUT THE PURPOSE OF READING ON IMPROVING ENGLISH. READING IS FIRST AND FOREMOST ABOUT ABSORBING KNOWLEDGE. IN THE PROCESS OF ABSORBING KNOWLEDGE, LANGUAGE IS ABSORBED NATURALLY. THINKING IN ENGLISH IS SOMETHING MANY ENGLISH LEARNERS HOPE TO ACHIEVE, BECAUSE IT IS THE FOUNDATION OF EXPRESSING IDEAS FLUENTLY IN ENGLISH. FOR A CHINESE STUDENT LIVING IN A NON-ENGLISH ENVIRONMENT, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO THINK PARTIALLY OR FULLY IN ENGLISH, BUT IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE. FROM MY EXPERIENCE LEARNING ENGLISH, I REALIZE THAT CONSISTENTLY ENGAGING IN EXTENSIVE READING IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL. FOR BEGINNER AND INTERMEDIATE ENGLISH LEARNERS, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND EASY-TO-READ ENGLISH BOOKS. THE MATERIAL SHOULD BE SIMPLE AND STORY-DRIVEN, AND YOU SHOULD READ AS FAST AS POSSIBLE—THE MORE YOU READ, THE BETTER. THIS IS A PROVEN AND EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR LEARNING ENGLISH. THE BOOKS IN THIS SERIES INCLUDE WORKS WORTH READING IN YOUR LIFETIME. READING THESE BOOKS NOT ONLY IMPROVES YOUR ENGLISH PROFICIENCY BUT ALSO ENHANCES YOUR PERSONAL CULTIVATION.
NATURAL LANGUAGE: All the books in this series are written by American authors in fluent modern English. They possess strong writing skills, which is difficult for non-native English speakers to achieve.
EASY TO UNDERSTAND: The books are written using 3,300 commonly used English words, making them easy to read. Difficult words are annotated, and they are presented in a bilingual (English-Chinese) format, allowing you to read smoothly without flipping through a dictionary while lying in bed.
High-Quality Audio Accompaniment: This allows you to practice listening after reading. Please note that reading requires a certain amount of input, and listening requires even more. Extensive audio input is the source of in-depth English conversations.
This series is designed for you to read during your free time after class or work. Its advantage is to help you integrate English learning into your daily life, making English a part of your life. This is the true essence of English success—and the essence of success in any challenging endeavor.
