Features: The characteristics of this series of books are mainly reflected in the following three aspects:
First, in terms of selection, the compilers of this series adhere to the principle that narrative texts should be genuine and heartfelt, expository texts should be as close to the times as possible, and argumentative texts should avoid clichés. Although Chinese education has made significant progress through continuous reform, still exist in various Chinese reading materials and even middle school exam questions. Such articles are difficult to gain readers' recognition and fail to serve educational purposes.
Second, the compilers have always believed that reading and writing are an integrated process. Artificially separating the two goes against students' learning and cognitive patterns. Therefore, in this series, the compilers have included approximately 20 pages of "Reading Appreciation and Writing Skills," which are attached after every two sets of text exercises. This supplementary content complements the main body of the book. After students complete intense test training, they can relax, enjoy beautiful writing, and reflect on life. At the same time, these articles serve as excellent writing materials. With persistent daily accumulation, students can later use them as readily available tools for writing.
Third, this series is designed in a 16-page format, with each set containing 4-5 pages. Each set is designed for a 45-minute training session and can be torn off to be used as a detachable workbook. Students can self-assess, or teachers can arrange for group use. This layout reflects the principles of convenience and practicality.
