Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Commercial Press New English Readers, Vol. 5
The teachers of English in China are generally struck with the unsuitableness of the text-books in use. These books are either from America or England. They are written on the assumption that English is the student's native language. Therefore all the idiomatic and grammatical difficulties are at once presented to his mind without any attempt to help him overcome them. Besides, much of the subject-matter contained in such books, however simple it may be to an English-speak ing child, is beyond the conception of the Chinese student.
To obviate these difficulties, in the preparation of this series of six books, the editors introduced numerous notes in Chinese, explaining the difficult passages and idiomatic expressions. The meaning of the words is also explained in Chinese in the vocabulary. This part of the work was done under the supervision of Mr. Zee Zung Zien, a graduate of St. John's University, Shanghai.
