Features: "Modern Japanese Reading Course" is an auxiliary teaching material developed to meet the needs of the development of Japanese education and teaching in China. Its main objective is to enhance students' reading comprehension, foreign language thinking, and analytical skills through guided extensive reading, consolidate acquired language knowledge, expand knowledge and vocabulary, enrich Japanese language intuition, and ultimately achieve the goal of using Japanese for communication. This course is suitable for general reading courses in Japanese majors, reading courses for university Japanese programs, and teaching in various Japanese teaching units. It can also be used by a wide range of self-study Japanese learners. This series consists of four volumes, each with 25 lessons, and teaching units can choose to use them. Each lesson is composed of sections such as text, explanation, exercises I, II, III, and IV. The texts selected for each lesson are original articles, and every effort is made to avoid including articles that have already appeared in other domestic teaching materials. The length of the articles gradually increases from approximately 1,500 to 3,500 words, with an arrangement that considers difficulty levels in a step-by-step, progressive manner, from simple to advanced. When selecting materials, full attention is paid to the ideological, practical, knowledge-based, scientific, and entertaining aspects of the articles, while also taking into account the diversity of themes and genres. To broaden students' perspectives and knowledge, some articles that are not entirely standard from the perspective of grammar and sentence structure are intentionally included.
