Features: Robin Hood, the greenwood hero, is one of the most beloved heroes in Britain. His story is full of legends. He faces a series of misfortunes—his father is killed by the cruel sheriff, he loses his land, and his beloved woman is also captured by the sheriff. But he does not yield. His misfortunes forge his heroic heart. He and his servant flee to the great forest, rob the rich to help the poor, punish the wicked, and bring peace to the people. Many righteous men join him, creating a just and free land, and he unexpectedly meets his sweetheart and marries her.
A series of books for teenagers and English enthusiasts should meet three requirements: Read for pleasure; Read for information; Read for language improvement. BlackCat Aуди meets these requirements and more.
First, this is a series of books that offers auditory enjoyment. When a work is read by professional actors, its beautiful voices, expressive intonation, and vivid delivery immerse readers and listeners in the story, allowing them to fully grasp the emotions, settings, and thoughts within the work. This effect cannot be provided by mere written materials. Additionally, this series is illustrated, perfectly combining visual and auditory senses.
Second, this series provides readers and listeners with valuable background information, including the author's life, historical context, and cultural knowledge, helping to cultivate teenagers' cross-cultural awareness. Many classic paintings in the books also offer great artistic enjoyment.
Moreover, though they are reading materials, they also serve as textbooks. Each book includes numerous exercises covering reading comprehension, vocabulary clarification, and grammar structures, providing an effective supplement to classroom language teaching. The newly issued National English Curriculum Standards by the Ministry of Education emphasize the importance of extensive reading and clearly specify the required amount of out-of-class reading per semester. Learning any foreign language is impossible without extensive reading outside of class, let alone developing a sense of the language. The publication of the BlackCat Aуди series provides a new world for teenagers and English enthusiasts to learn English—I am glad for you.
