Features: The "Advanced English Writing Course" consists of two volumes: a Student Book and a Teacher Book, designed for senior English majors in higher education institutions and English enthusiasts with a certain foundation. This textbook aims to expand students' knowledge, consolidate and enhance their language skills, and focus on cultivating their ability to master English literary knowledge and independently appreciate literary works. This enables them to use language appropriately and fluently, elevating their ability to express ideas in English to a new level. After years of trial use in some universities, it has been proven that the effectiveness of this textbook largely meets the requirements of the newly issued "Teaching Syllabus for English Majors in Higher Education" regarding reading and writing sections. Now, to meet the urgent needs of English teaching in more schools, this textbook has been revised and officially published by the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press.
The selected essays in this textbook include expository, argumentative, narrative, descriptive, and sample essays on the beginning and ending of articles, as well as stylistic examples. The content covers various fields such as literary criticism, linguistics, philosophy, pedagogy, history and culture, biographies of famous figures, and economic life, embodying the three characteristics of factual reading, critical reading, and appreciative reading required in the teaching syllabus. Each category of essays is preceded by a theoretical introduction that clarifies the purpose, audience, linguistic features, and writing techniques of that type of essay. Most of these works are created by renowned authors, with rigorous structures, meticulous word choices, ingenious composition, and distinct writing styles and artistic characteristics, making them excellent models for study and imitation.
