Features: Since the reform of college English teaching in China began in the early 1980s, it has made remarkable progress worldwide. Compared to the early stages of the reform, the English proficiency of Chinese college students has significantly improved, which has become a common consensus. Since 1984, when the Ministry of Education issued the Ministry's "College English Teaching Syllabus," China has developed and published multiple sets of college English textbooks suitable for different levels, accumulating rich experience in textbook development. This series of textbooks not only combines the four skills of English learning (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) well on the basis of emphasizing comprehensive English training but also integrates grammar and vocabulary learning throughout, supplemented by timely audio pronunciation training. This feature of cultivating skills while mastering knowledge and consolidating knowledge while improving skills is something that most English textbooks on the market aim to do but fail to achieve well. Global English is a series of English learning textbooks introduced and reconstructed by the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press from Thomson Publishing Company. The textbooks feature perfect matching between English knowledge learning and skill training; abundant teaching resources; integrated teaching and testing; and a focus on cross-cultural communication. These are the four major characteristics of the series. This book is the entry-level student textbook for the series.
