Features: The New Concept English series, written by the renowned foreign language educator L.G. Alexander, became wildly popular across China in the 1970s, sparking a craze for the series and once serving as the English textbook for many universities. It had a profound impact on English teaching in China, shaping generations of readers into outstanding English talents. In China, several other publishing houses purchased the rights to this series, further refining and even adapting it, thereby expanding its influence. In recent years, English teaching in China has made significant progress, with the English proficiency of young people far exceeding that of previous decades. Today, children and teenagers have begun studying and memorizing the exquisite passages in this series, particularly those in Books 2 and 3, with such fluency and confidence. The series has now become an important supplementary textbook for primary and secondary schools, a key resource for private tutoring schools, and a recommended workbook for parents seeking systematic guidance for their children. To enhance the appeal of the series, we have begun to supplement it. We have developed two companion series: "One Lesson, One Practice" and "Synchronized Tests." Each series consists of four volumes, corresponding to the original books. These exercises progress from easy to difficult, are (step-by-step), and feature diverse question types, catering to the cognitive psychology and learning levels of learners at different stages. The exercises in this supplementary material are designed in engaging formats that appeal to young learners, including filling in letters, multiple-choice fill-in-the-blanks, cloze tests, reading comprehension, and translation. The question types vary depending on the reader's age. We hope this supplementary material will contribute to further popularizing the New Concept English series and fuel the enthusiasm of young people for learning English.
