Features: Easy Read Classics Series. To promote English learning among Chinese middle school students and cultivate their cultural literacy and literary appreciation, Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press, after extensive deliberation and market research, has decided to introduce a series of abridged literary classics from the British Macmillan Publishing Company to Chinese middle school students. From this series of abridged literary classics by Macmillan Publishing Company, SFLEP has carefully selected 40 books, compiling them into a "Easy Read Classics Series," with difficulty levels spanning from Level 3 to Level 8 of the "English Curriculum Standards." This series includes classic works by literary masters from the UK, the US, France, and other countries, featuring the works of renowned authors such as Shakespeare, Dickens, Mark Twain, Hardy, and Alexandre Dumas. To help Chinese middle school students better grasp the essence of the original works and the creative journey of the authors during their reading, SFLEP has also specially annotated the language difficulties in the texts and included background introductions about the authors and their works. We sincerely hope that the "Easy Read Classics Series" will help improve the literary appreciation level of Chinese middle school students, cultivate their moral sentiments, enhance their English reading ability, and become the golden key to opening the door to English literary classics for middle school students.
