Features: This book includes nine articles that have never appeared in IELTS exams. The selection criteria are (interest) and (knowledge). For example, I selected "Lost Continent," where the philosopher Plato discusses the sinking of the ancient civilization of Atlantis in his "Dialogues." In "Cosmic Philosophy," scientists explore the origin of the universe. In the article on "Mathematical Development," I incorporated the legend of the ancient Chinese mathematics book "Lo Shu." "Cannabis Harm" is a must-read for international students because in many regions abroad, growing cannabis is legal. Be careful, your landlord might try Marijuana! Qu Bing's selections include articles on British culture, women's media, legal advisors, etc., mainly considering the increasing number of students from mainland China applying for mass media and law programs in recent years, while also focusing on (knowledge). At the end of the book, the "Vocabulary Summary" contains core vocabulary from each article and professional terms that candidates do not need to memorize. Its purpose is to help readers better understand the context and accurately grasp the meaning of the articles when rereading them. In addition to expanding vocabulary, this section is primarily designed to improve students' English writing skills. Students who already have some English writing skills are certainly familiar with how "Well-educated British or Australians" value "language expression diversity." In a specific context, accumulating a series of synonyms can help you achieve this level. Therefore, students who want to further improve the quality of their English writing should focus on this section.
