Features: Traditional textbooks emphasize imitation, permeating from grammar to vocabulary to texts layer by layer. The students they cultivate have impressive vocabulary and solid grammar, but when it comes to speaking English, they often fail to express themselves clearly, even using words that were common in their grandparents' generation. As a result, a wave of textbooks and audio-visual products emphasizing listening and speaking emerged, hoping to create an effective language environment for readers. However, they often suffer from overly broad material selection, leaving people feeling lost. The result is that the richer the content, the greater the invisible pressure on language. Practice has proven that the emergence of any language begins with the need to express inner thoughts and satisfy survival instincts. Only by experiencing the original impulse of language and practicing in a vivid setting can one truly appreciate the charm of a language.
After years of testing from teaching to practice to the market, New English 900 Sentences has proven to be effective and profound in helping readers learn language from its fundamental characteristics. This set of books is divided into four parts: Introduction, Basics, Life, and Improvement, consisting of eight small books. The Introduction and Basics focus on the needs for expression in social interactions and attitudes toward surrounding things, highlighting the process of language expression from the inner to the outer. For example: greetings, introductions, seeking opinions, and expressing likes and dislikes. The Life and Improvement sections guide readers into specific life scenarios, further emphasizing the tool-like function of language. For instance, in shopping malls, cinemas, restaurants, and campuses. The entire set is designed to progress from simple to complex and from easy to difficult.
