Features: "Grub" is a premium offering from Oxford University Press for English learners worldwide. In English, "grub" is a rather endearing image. Imagine a grub, utterly immersed in books, tirelessly chewing on letters. Now, this "grub" has crossed the ocean and gracefully landed in the hands of Chinese English learners. "Grub" will first give you confidence—even if you currently only know a few hundred words, you can easily read world-class works without much effort. The grub will also remind you with its delicate chirping: to persevere in reading, to read widely and richly. By the time you finish the last book in the series, you might suddenly realize: you have transformed like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, ready to take flight!
"Carrot! Carrot!" Gilbert Brian called softly as he reached out from behind his desk to pull Anne's red. Anne jumped up from her seat and shouted, "You rascal! I hate you!" Then she hit him hard on the head with her textbook.
Since Anne Shirley moved into the Cas, life in the village of Avonlea has become no longer dull. They had intended to adopt a boy to help with the farm chores at Green Gables, but instead, they got Anne—a girl with red hair, freckles, and a chirpy, talkative personality. She is a kind-hearted child. But her troubles never seem to end! First, Mrs. Lind's visit, then the cake for the parish minister's wife, and now, after the school argument, will she even acknowledge Gilbert Brian?
