Features: The "Quick English" series is compiled based on the English curriculum standards. The junior high school part is written according to the People's Education Press "New Target English," while also taking into account the Hebei Education Press, Yilin Press, and English textbooks from some provinces and cities, so students can share many aspects in their use. The senior high school part is completely synchronized with the People's Education Press new curriculum. Additionally, the series has thoroughly researched and absorbed the trends in the 2006 college entrance examination and the middle school entrance examination questions from various provinces and cities, reflecting the writing principle of aiming for the middle school entrance examination from the seventh grade and aiming for the college entrance examination from the first year of senior high school. Therefore, whether in content or in question design, the series is new and representative. The main features of the series:
Reading Comprehension: The selected passages cover a wide range of topics and genres, serving as an extension of textbook content and involving various fields such as foreign cultures, customs, history, and literature.

There are also up-to-date updates on film and sports stars, as well as lively topics close to campus life. The question design is more flexible and diverse, examining both "micro" reading skills and "macro" reading skills.
Listening Practice: The materials are lively and engaging, closely matching the question types of the middle school and college entrance examinations. The recordings are made at teaching speed with clear pronunciation.
