Features: This book is written according to the requirements of the new junior high school geography curriculum and is suitable for junior high school students in bilingual teaching. The language is as concise as possible, suitable for students' English proficiency; the content is closely aligned with the textbook, without adding new material. For convenience of learning, some Chinese annotations and a small number of exercises are included in the text. The book is divided into seven chapters, including the rotation and revolution of the Earth; the distribution of global land and oceans, major climate types; the current status and main problems of world population, economy, resources, and environment; and the geographical overview of some important or hot regions in the world. In the writing process, we strive to: (1) align the content and layout closely with the new curriculum, highlighting the geographical nature; (2) use a rich combination of text and illustrations, with images replacing text; English as the main language and Chinese as a supplement to reduce the difficulty of English; (3) provide rich and interesting reading materials to enhance readability; (4) combine practice with learning to improve critical thinking.
