Features: Since its publication, "The Green Channel" has been reprinted multiple times to meet the needs of English learners and users. Designed and written for adult English speaking learning, "The Green Channel" can be used in formal classroom teaching as well as for self-study. It is particularly suitable for candidates preparing for the English Speaking Proficiency Examination (GESE) jointly launched by Trinity College London and Beijing Education Examination and Research Institute. At the back of the user manual for "The Green Channel," there is an official letter of recognition from Trinity College London, acknowledging that "The Green Channel" is one of the reference textbooks for the GESE examination. GESE is a distinctive speaking examination with high reliability and validity, and thus an increasing number of English learners are taking part in it. Among the candidates, a significant proportion are primary and secondary school students. These candidates come from full-time public and private foreign language training schools in Beijing. Many schools and parents have requested a set of oral textbooks more suitable for children's learning and exam preparation. Additionally, in the past few years, through our English speaking training and pre-examination tutoring for primary and secondary school students, we have gained some methods and experiences. Given these requirements and our certain level of teaching experience, we decided to compile "The Green Channel." The three volumes of "The Green Channel" are generally aligned with the requirements of the GESE Speaking Examination levels 1-10. The newly compiled children's edition follows the preparatory level of the GESE examination syllabus, based on the original textbook, incorporating the core content of the first volume and the first half of the second volume, and is divided into four volumes to suit children's English learning. "The Green Channel" can also serve as a guide for primary and junior high school students taking the GHESE levels 1-4 speaking examination, ensuring consistency in content and requirements between the original and the children's edition. To provide users and parents of children learning English with a more comprehensive understanding of "The Green Channel," we have also included the official letter of recognition from Trinity College London in this book. In the compilation of "The Green Channel," we have fully taken into account the psychological characteristics of children learning English and their current language learning and expression abilities. We have referred to the objectives for listening and speaking parts of levels 1-5 in the "Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education in Ordinary Senior High Schools" issued by the Ministry of Education, combined with the GESE examination syllabus, and considered aspects such as writing format, picture design, teaching methods, and the amount of learning per lesson to strive to make English learning enjoyable and rewarding for children, reflecting the teaching philosophy of "learning through play" and "teaching in accordance with local conditions." The entire textbook features practical language, innovative structure, vivid illustrations, and a strong sense of fun. Its content is close to the daily lives of primary and secondary school students, making it easy to learn and remember, and highly adaptable to real-life situations, providing significant help in improving children's speaking skills.
