The purpose of compiling this series, "Things You Should Know About the Background of English Learning," is to reveal the cultural "essentials" of the British and Americans. Of course, this is only an initial revelation, but it is a good start. More in-depth and broader work requires readers to accumulate knowledge through continuous reading and reflection.
The writing principles for the English materials in this book are simplicity, clarity, and accessibility, ensuring that most of the content can be understood by middle and high school students, as well as general English enthusiasts, without the need for a dictionary. English teachers can introduce British and American culture using the text in the book without modification for teaching purposes.
For ease of learning, we have provided corresponding Chinese translations for the English text. Additionally, to make the series more lively and interesting, we have included some "asides" to offer more related knowledge, broaden readers' perspectives, and inspire further reflection.
