The original "English in Use" series was published by Cambridge University Press. The Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press has introduced this series with the aim of introducing advanced English learning methods and helping learners achieve a thorough understanding of English with outstanding results. In the famous essay "On Learning" from the Xunzi, there is a well-known line: "I once thought all day, yet it was not as good as learning for a moment; I once leaped and looked afar, yet it was not as good as climbing high to see broadly." There is also: "Learning without internalization is not truly learning." If everyone can use this series to find their way in learning and reach the summit to enjoy the view, we will be content.
