Features: The original curriculum standards only required junior high school students to master about 800 words and high school students about 2,000 words. However, after the implementation of the new curriculum standards, the vocabulary requirement for junior high school students has increased to 1,600–1,800 words, while high school students are expected to learn 3,300 words. Additionally, high school students are required to read at least 300,000 words of extracurricular reading material. The current college entrance examination short passage reading comprehension section consists of passages of about 300 words each. Calculating based on this, students need to complete 1,000 such passages during their high school years, averaging one per day! How to spark students' greater interest in reading within limited time, help them absorb more knowledge, expand their vocabulary, and improve their reading comprehension is a question worth considering for parents, teachers, and even society as a whole. It is also the issue that this series of extracurricular reading materials for students, "Very English," is committed to addressing.
