Features: Modern College English: Intensive Reading is a set of intensive reading textbooks compiled by the English Department of Beijing Foreign Studies University for English majors. This book is the synchronous teaching material for its third volume. For English majors, the most important thing in English learning is to cultivate good habits of independent learning. This book is written with this goal in mind, while also incorporating the strengths of other similar teaching materials, aiming to provide you with practical help in learning English. The writing features of this book are as follows:
1. Comprehensive Content, Thorough Explanation
This book provides comprehensive guidance on the texts, from words to sentences to paragraphs. The learning focus section lists the key vocabulary, key phrases, and grammatical phenomena that should be mastered in this lesson, offering guidance for your study. The intensive reading section of the main text provides detailed explanations for each Text A, including the lesson's theme, writing style and structure analysis, background knowledge introduction, word explanations, annotations on difficult points in the text, and reference translations. The book also provides necessary explanations for the difficult words and sentences in the supplementary text Text B, facilitating self-study.
2. Balanced Detail, Emphasis on Key Points
In the organization of content, we strive to cover all aspects of the texts while highlighting the knowledge that needs to be mastered. For example, in the word explanations section, we list all vocabulary from the textbook's word list and provide detailed explanations for key vocabulary with flexible usage, while leaving out further explanations for proper nouns or words with relatively single usage—just providing the Chinese and English meanings is sufficient for memorization. Additionally, in terms of word meaning selection, the book not only provides the meaning of words in the context of the text but also gives supplementary meanings, i.e., other meanings required by the syllabus. The annotations on difficult points in the text mainly focus on explaining sentences involving key grammatical knowledge, difficult vocabulary, or implied meanings in detail to help you thoroughly understand the original text.
3. Red Film Memorization, Illustrations and Diagrams
Another point we focused on during the writing process was to the greatest extent possible to stimulate your interest in learning, reduce fatigue during the learning process, and make learning an enjoyable experience. This book is equipped with red film, making it convenient for self-assessment before class to identify key learning points and check learning outcomes after class. Each lesson is accompanied by a large number of illustrations related to the text content, presented in a lively format to help you understand the text and improve your learning interest.
We hope this book will truly be helpful to your English learning!
