Description
Book Introduction
A reading textbook loved by many people for its revolutionary direct reading and interpretation method.

The reason why this book has been able to establish itself as a must-read for English learners for over 30 years since its publication is because the author's insight and analysis comparing English and Korean are outstanding, and this is directly linked to improving learners' reading comprehension skills.

Even now, 30 years later, it's hard to find another book that rivals this one. However, the author has replaced about 20% of the example sentences with better English ones he's collected over the years, and added his signature "contextual" explanations to enhance understanding of English context.
Additionally, the editing structure and design have been completely revamped to make learning easier and more effective.

Publisher's Review
Features of this book
* The only reading book that approaches comparative linguistics

Most of the reading comprehension textbooks in our country are either lists of examples without any system or categorized according to grammar classification methods.
This book abandons that method and systematically covers the most 'important' and 'difficult' aspects of learning English for Koreans by comparing English and Korean.


* 'Direct reading and direct interpretation' that saves time

If you read it once and read it again to understand the meaning, it takes too much time.
In order to correct the uneconomical habit of interpreting English text backwards, we have made it possible to practice direct reading and interpretation by translating English text from front to back.

* Carefully selected logical and educational examples

We have thoroughly excluded the sophistry and illogical examples that are often found in English textbooks in Korea, and have carefully selected examples based on their educational value and English learning value to enable logical thinking training.

* The fun of encountering various Englishes

We have created a proper mix of traditional and modern English, written and spoken English, to help you become familiar with all aspects of the English language.

* Food that is both nutritious and delicious

It's a world where books that are only delicious but not nutritious are rampant.
Also, if it is nutritious but not tasty, it is difficult to eat.
To this end, the author has included some interesting humor and quotes that can act as a refreshing drink to relieve study fatigue and help you in your life.
