Features: This book is a pre-reading textbook for "College English" preparatory level, targeting students in the preparatory first level of college English. The entire book consists of sixteen lessons, designed for use over one semester. Each lesson is composed of pre-reading prompts, texts, vocabulary, annotations, and exercises. The purpose of the pre-reading prompts is not only to set requirements for students' pre-class preparation but also to gradually cultivate their good reading habits through "pre-reading self-check questions." The texts are all selected from original sources and have been carefully rewritten. The rewriting aims to achieve simple, natural, and idiomatic language while being rich in content, interesting, and possessing a certain depth of thought. The exercises are not designed to be innovative but simply review and reinforce the main language, grammar, and vocabulary concepts that students have already learned in middle school, all at a new level. This book is accompanied by a teacher's manual for reference during lesson preparation. To address the current shortage of teachers in schools and to meet the needs of first and second-level students for extracurricular review, consolidation, and deepening of their foundational English knowledge and skills, this book is also equipped with recordings by American experts as well as videos that can be directly used in classroom teaching.
