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cultivate have impressive vocabulary and solid grammar, yet they struggle to express themselves in English, often using outdated expressions even from their grandparents' generation. Consequently, a wave of textbooks and audiovisual 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 manner can one truly appreciate its charm.
After years of testing in teaching, practice, and the market, 900 English Sentences has proven to be effective and profound in language learning. It starts from the characteristics of language acquisition, providing readers with a paper-based environment for learning. This set is divided into four parts: Introduction, Basic, Life, and Advanced, comprising eight small books. The Introduction and Basic sections focus on the needs for expression in social interactions and attitudes toward surrounding things, highlighting the process of language expression from internal to external. Examples include greetings, introductions, seeking opinions, and expressing likes and dislikes. The Life and Advanced sections guide readers into specific life scenarios, emphasizing the tool-like function of language. Examples include shopping malls, cinemas, restaurants, and campuses. The entire set progresses from simple to complex and is designed to be gradual and systematic.
