Features: This book is for the Japanese Proficiency Test Level 2 Reading Comprehension. Through the summarization and organization of a large number of recent past papers, combined with the authors' long-term experience in teaching and tutoring candidates, the book first presents 5 self-assessment tests in the form of preliminary exercises. These include: essays, dialogues, narrative texts, novels, and argumentative texts, allowing candidates to initially assess their own strengths and weaknesses. Then, it moves on to explain reading methods and problem-solving techniques. To illustrate these methods and techniques, most of the explanations use past paper examples. As for the self-assessment tests, the book also includes other examples of new types of questions that are very similar in style and difficulty to the current proficiency test.
The latter part of the book includes long reading passages. Since the Japanese Level 2 long reading section consists of 5 types of genres: expository texts, narrative texts, essays, novels, and dialogues, the book first explains how to approach these long reading passages before moving into the comprehensive ability test stage. The book is divided into four parts, including: self-assessment tests to evaluate your abilities; reading methods and problem-solving techniques; long reading passages; and reference answers.
