The English-Chinese Extracurricular Classics is the most familiar selection of classic literature, offering authentic and fluent English and serving as one of the most important youth readerships abroad. We believe there is no better for English reading. The importance of learning English is evident. English studies should encompass five aspects: reading, writing, translation, listening, and speaking, with reading, writing, and translation being particularly crucial. This series selects classic works from English literary literature, accompanied by refined Chinese translations, arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. Based on the vocabulary requirements for junior and senior high school students as stipulated by the Ministry of Education's teaching syllabus, as well as the list of extracurricular must-read classics for middle school students designated by the Ministry, this series has carefully selected 27 masterpieces, dividing them into two volumes—junior and senior high school—based on difficulty. During the selection process, efforts were made to ensure the content meets students' learning needs while also broadening their knowledge, catering to middle school students' extracurricular English learning requirements.
