Features: A nostalgic look back at traditional charm, a fleeting capture of modern spiritual life, and an endless taste of foreign culture. With the aim of providing a practical and effective reading series for English learners at beginner and intermediate levels to understand Western culture, we have invited professionals from Peking University, Capital Normal University, and Beijing Technology and Business University to compile this series of Western Culture Readers, namely "Etiquette and Customs," "Festivals and Weddings," "Food and Life," and "Fashion and Leisure." Each book consists of about 30 relevant articles, each including an English original, a Chinese translation, and annotations.
"Etiquette and Customs": What are the etiquette norms when visiting an American home? What are the customs of the Danes? What topics do Australians love to talk about? Dive in for a more intuitive understanding of the customs and traditions of different ethnic groups.
"Festivals and Weddings": Whether it's the Easter eggs, the stories of Thanksgiving, or the old Finnish wedding customs, you will feel the accumulation of ancient Western culture.
"Food and Life": The artistic Italian cuisine, the memorable Swiss dishes, and the emotions triggered by food—through the capture of everyday life in major Western countries, you will understand the delicate aspects of their culture.
"Fashion and Leisure": The Australians who enjoy a life of instant gratification, the Americans who are pet lovers, and the charming Parisians—through their hobbies and leisure time, you will experience the lightness and elegance of Western culture.
This series of books highlights its engaging nature, fresh topics, rich information, and insightful style. Readers can not only study the key points of the language, expand their vocabulary, and improve their reading skills but also use it as a window to open up, understanding the ancient Western culture while experiencing the diverse and colorful modern life.
