Features: Learning a language cannot be separated from reading. For Chinese English learners who lack an English-speaking environment, extensive reading is especially important. Many traditional English reading materials are difficult to understand, limited in content, and lack, often disconnected from real life. Readers find it hard to directly gain inspiration from life and improve their qualities. To make English learning more knowledge-based and interesting, and to help English learners move from passively receiving information to actively improving themselves, FLTRP Press has collaborated with Cambridge University Press to launch this series of "How-to" books. Using simple English, the series presents engaging and enjoyable discussions on everyday topics such as appreciating paintings, traveling, developing intelligence, communicating with others, and playing games, accompanied by a wealth of lively and interesting illustrations and images of famous artworks. While readers master vibrant contemporary English through reading, they also enrich their knowledge of life, enhance their artistic appreciation, and apply what they learn directly to real-life situations. Moreover, with vivid and exquisite images as companions, English learning is no longer just rigid memorization. You might be pleasantly surprised to find that reading English has become a joy and an enjoyment. We sincerely hope this series can help you achieve this level of proficiency. This book is one of a series specifically designed for intermediate and upper-intermediate English learners. The author, Andrew Wright, is himself a painter. He takes a unique approach by organizing thought-provoking and engaging reading materials on the theme of painting, accompanied by various thinking and practice exercises, suitable for both classroom use and personal reading.
