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 has made great progress with continuous reforms, hollow moralizing and stale topics still abound 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 "Reading Appreciation and Writing Skills," which are attached after every two sets of text exercises, complementing the main content of the book. After students have undergone intensive test training, they can relax, appreciate beautiful writing, and savor life. At the same time, these articles are excellent writing materials. With persistent daily accumulation, they can become readily usable tools for writing in the future.
Third, this series is entirely designed in 16K format, with each set containing 4-5 pages. Each set is designed for a 45-minute training session and can be torn off and used as a loose-leaf test paper. Students can self-assess or use it for group instruction arranged by teachers. This layout reflects the principles of convenience and practicality.
