Features: This book is the teacher's manual for Advanced English Reading, Writing, and Translation Course. It includes reference translations, background knowledge, analysis of difficulties, and exercise answers for each text, designed for teachers' preparation. This textbook is intended for non-English major graduate students for one year or one semester of use. It focuses on cultivating students' abilities in reading, writing, and translation. The book consists of 16 units, each primarily composed of eight parts: pre-reading questions, text, vocabulary, phrases, notes, exercises, practical skills, and skill practice exercises. Some units also list additional content.
Each text is followed by five types of exercises: reading comprehension, vocabulary, cloze, translation, and quick reading. Each lesson can be scheduled for 4 to 6 hours, depending on the length, difficulty of the text, and the specific circumstances of the students. Most of the texts are selected from recently published original materials to train students' comprehension skills. Students are required to preview the material before class and review it afterward, achieving full understanding with the teacher's guidance.
The post-class exercises closely align with the Teaching Syllabus for Graduate English Education for Non-English Majors. They are formatted similarly to the Beijing Graduate English Unified Examination. The textbook also includes an appendix on English roots and affixes, helping students master common roots, prefixes, and suffixes to expand their vocabulary and tackle unfamiliar words in reading.
All exercises are designed to emphasize practical application while adhering to the teaching syllabus. They are rich in content, diverse in format, and appropriately challenging. Teachers can use them as needed based on specific circumstances.
