Features: This is a series of world literature classics for students whose first language is not English. The series is closely aligned with the requirements of the English Curriculum Standards and is divided into 8 levels based on difficulty, catering to the reading needs of students at various stages. It helps students achieve the cultivation goals of the new curriculum standards in terms of language skills, language knowledge, learning strategies, and cultural awareness. The series has the following characteristics:
- It includes classic Western literary works, helping students improve their language proficiency while allowing them to gain a glimpse of the full scope of literary masterpieces through reading simplified versions suitable for their foreign language level.
- It is graded according to the new curriculum standards, with vocabulary ranging from 150 to 3,500 words, meeting the reading needs of primary and secondary school students.
- The language difficulty progresses gradually, helping teachers expand students' language knowledge and cultural background, and enhancing their English reading skills.
- Levels 1 to 5 feature one exercise per page, with a large volume of practice and a rich variety of test formats, which are very beneficial for students and teachers to quantitatively assess and evaluate reading ability and proficiency, serving as an excellent supplement to classroom teaching.
- The language is simple, vivid, and authentic, published with English annotations, which preserves the original essence of English while bilingual annotations (English-Chinese) remove language barriers for readers, fully engaging their interest in reading and making English reading easier.
We hope this series can enhance the English reading ability of Chinese students and elevate their literary literacy.
Walter Hartley was a painter. One night, while walking on a street in London, he encountered a mysterious woman dressed entirely in white. She was lost. Walter took her to the taxi stand and helped her get a taxi to her destination. Just as the white-clad woman left, two men chased after her, threatening to take her back to a mental institution. And so, a life-and-death struggle between justice and evil began.
This series is available in an English-annotated edition.
