Features: Dear teachers and students, the "New Standard English Readers for Primary and Secondary Schools" jointly published by the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press and Macmillan Education UK have finally been launched. Not only are they rich and interesting in content, opening a window to British and American culture, but they are also a valuable helper and companion on your journey to learning English. These readers are divided into 4 levels based on difficulty: Beginner Level, Elementary Level, Intermediate Level, and Upper Level. The content includes standalone novels and other works, all selected from original novels, adapted classic literature, or popular science reading materials, covering topics that are of interest or enthusiasm to primary and secondary school students. The series provides annotations on vocabulary, grammar, and language difficulty according to different levels, enabling students to read English works suitable for their language proficiency. Each reader is accompanied by self-assessment exercises to guide and assist students in their reading, or can be used by teachers to organize and guide systematic reading activities. We sincerely hope that the "New Standard English Readers for Primary and Secondary Schools" can become a valuable tool for teachers in English teaching, and we also hope these readers can enrich students' experiences, broaden their horizons, and bridge the gap between them and the English language and culture. If teachers and students enjoy these readers, please recommend them to your friends. If you have any dissatisfaction with the readers or any good suggestions, please don't forget to let us know! Many primary and secondary school teachers with rich teaching experience have contributed annotations and related exercises for this series, and we express our heartfelt gratitude to them for their strong support.
