This book is written for teenagers, suitable for Chinese students who have learned 1200 words corresponding to New HSK Level 4. It includes 10 essays, encompassing each writer’s personal experience, and his/her ideas about a topic or a cultural phenomenon.

Multicultural: Written by non-native Chinese speakers, this series combines the speakers’ second language and the culture of their native language, removes the cultural barriers in reading, and develops readers’ cross-cultural perspectives and communication skills.

Graded Reading: This series is divided into six levels, respectively corresponding to Levels 1-6 in the New HSK syllabus. Words or expressions not listed in the syllabus are provided with English explanations. A few exercises are designed after reading. The design of objective questions imitates that of the New HSK and the open-ended subjective questions focus on the development of readers’ language expression skills and communication skills.
