Features: Commercial Press places great emphasis on the education and cultivation of middle school students who are in the period of puberty or adolescence. They have introduced a middle school edition of "Let's Talk, Classmates" published in the United States. After carefully reading 10 copies of the content, I found four points worth fully affirming: ,
First, it emphasizes scientific rigor, meaning that it is designed based on educational objectives and tasks, tailored to students' characteristics to achieve the desired effects. The purpose of the authors of this series is not to provide simple answers or moral evaluations to teenagers on a particular issue, but rather, based on the characteristics of middle school readers, to help them clarify some issues, provide different choices, guide them to think, and then make certain decisions. Second, it emphasizes readability, starting from the perspectives of sociology, physiology, psychology, and other academic fields, using case study results to explain issues in an easy-to-understand manner through various stories. It provides the contemporary life background and knowledge of peers living in the same environment as the readers, making it relatable and highlighting readability. Third, it emphasizes practicality, focusing on effectiveness. The content of these 10 books includes the real-life issues that middle school students encounter daily: money, smoking, family, parents, bullying, death, middle school life, learning difficulties, adolescent gambling, and psychological problems. Through practical reasoning, the invisible moral education is aimed at the readers' viewpoints and behaviors, striving to achieve practical results. Fourth, it pays attention to rigor. After all, "Let's Talk, Classmates" is translated from American works, and there are differences in cultural backgrounds between China and the United States, as well as distinctions in educational content and lifestyles. Therefore, Commercial Press editor Ni Le strictly reviewed and selected the essence, allowing middle school students to appreciate foreign works in a healthier way. I sincerely hope that a broad readership of middle school students will enjoy this series, use their critical reading skills to digest the various contents, and enthusiastically point out any shortcomings to the authors, translators, and publishers.
