Description
Book Introduction
“Finish middle school non-fiction reading with this one book!”
“The power of reading is the power of thinking.”
In an era where reading comprehension skills make a decisive difference in Korean language scores,
A must-read non-fiction reading comprehension training book before entering high school.
This book is the result of the author's long-term thinking and experience on how to make reading non-fiction easy and fun for students.
As students progress from middle school to high school, they encounter non-fiction texts that are much longer and more complex than before.
It requires the ability to go beyond simply reading text to grasp the core content, organize the structure of paragraphs, and further summarize and express it in one's own words.
However, if you start practicing reading comprehension in non-fiction only when you are already overwhelmed with your academic studies, you will easily get tired and fall behind.
Students who lack the ability to read and understand long texts quickly give up on summarizing and organizing, ultimately failing to internalize anything.
This is why you need to gradually build up your non-fiction reading skills starting from middle school.
This book is designed to systematically develop 'reading skills', rather than simply reading texts or solving problems.
It is structured to enable students to continue training without losing interest through texts on various topics, and is structured step by step, from reading the text to finding the main idea, structuring paragraphs, and expanding and expressing thoughts.
Ultimately, it will help build a solid foundation for reading comprehension and literacy, which serve as the foundation for learning all subjects, beyond simply improving Korean language scores.

Into the book
When you ask students at the end of the school year which unit they found most difficult, many of them say the summarizing unit.
Summarizing is not simply an activity of reducing content.
It is a complex thought process that involves grasping the core of a text, understanding its logical structure, and reconstructing it into concise expressions.
--- p.4
The impact of plastic on the environment is becoming increasingly serious.
A video surfaced in 2015 showing a sea turtle found on a Costa Rican beach with a 12cm plastic straw stuck in its nose.
Many people who saw this video were shocked and the movement to ban plastic straws spread.
Plastic straws have since become a symbol of environmental problems, but plastic use continues unabated.
--- p.39
Imagination is the driving force behind technological advancement.
Of course, that imagination doesn't come true right away.
To achieve the dream of colonizing Mars, humanity must overcome many challenges.
The extreme environment of Mars presents many challenges for survival, and the development of technologies to overcome them is essential.
This research is not limited to Martian immigration, but can also contribute to solving environmental problems on Earth.
--- p.93
Half-life is closely related to the safe management of radioactive waste.
Radioactive waste is very dangerous when its radioactivity is high, but as it decays over time, management methods change.
Understanding half-life is also important for reducing the environmental impact of radioactive waste.
Because radioactivity decreases as radioactive material decomposes, it is possible to predict how long it will take for the waste to reduce to safe levels.
--- p.98
Despite the positive changes that artificial intelligence has brought to art, there are also limitations.
Art is a reflection of human emotions, experiences, and thoughts, and the question arises as to whether artificial intelligence, based on data learning and algorithms, can also be considered creative.
There is also controversy surrounding the copyright issues of AI art and the identities of the artists.
--- p.137
'Ditto' comes from the Latin word 'ditto', meaning 'likewise' or 'me too'.
Ditto consumption is the act of buying products that are used by specific people or featured in movies, dramas, entertainment programs, etc.
--- p.181
Global competency is the ability to collaborate and communicate with people from other countries and regions while understanding and respecting diverse cultures and values.
It includes not only language skills but also the ability to recognize and adapt to cultural differences, solve problems in a variety of situations, and think creatively.

Publisher's Review
“Welcome, is this your first time in middle school non-fiction?”
Society, history, humanities, politics, education, environment, science, technology, culture, economy
Non-fiction reading stories in 10 thematic sections
When students advance to high school, they are immediately faced with the vast amount of non-fiction texts in the Korean language section of the College Scholastic Ability Test.
However, since the amount of learning has already increased rapidly, there is not enough time to develop reading comprehension and summary skills.
The ability to read and summarize the main points of a text cannot be developed overnight, so you need to build a solid foundation starting in middle school so that you can quickly understand and organize long texts without wavering in high school.
Therefore, it is wisest to start non-fiction reading and summarization training in advance.
This book is a non-fiction reading and summary training book designed and written by a current Korean language teacher, tailored to middle school students' level.
While experiencing the diverse range of texts covered in the Korean language section of the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), we help students develop their non-fiction reading comprehension skills without pressure through topics selected for middle school students to understand.
A variety of non-fiction texts on ten different topics help students broaden their perspectives on the world beyond simply studying Korean.
It covers a wide range of topics, allowing you to enjoy reading and gaining new knowledge at the same time.
Furthermore, it cultivates the ability to grasp meaning without losing focus even in complex texts, and the ability to organize and judge various information on one's own, thereby laying a solid foundation for learning beyond high school.
It doesn't end with reading, but expands by analyzing, thinking, and expressing.
Complete your non-fiction reading comprehension training with step-by-step learning activities.
Beyond simple reading practice, this book has a three-dimensional structure that extends to expanding thinking and expressive skills.
At the end of each topic, systematic activities such as [Analyze], [Think], [Express], and [Expand Reading] are provided to help students go beyond simply reading the text and gain a deeper understanding and active use of the text.
For example, in [Analyze], you find the central sentence of each paragraph and understand the text as a whole.
[Thinking] stimulates critical and creative thinking by connecting the topic of the text with one's own experiences and social context.
[Expressing] develops both expressive and writing skills.
Finally, [Extended Reading] allows students to further explore materials, books, people, events, etc. related to the topic, thereby broadening their background knowledge and sustaining their curiosity.
Through this process, students can naturally develop the ability to read, summarize key points, and expand and organize their thoughts simultaneously.
Furthermore, you will develop the ability to focus on complex and difficult texts, select important parts, organize various information, and reconstruct meaning on your own.
The goal of this book is to foster the ability to express one's own thoughts independently, beyond the reading comprehension skills required for simple academic study.
The ability to read, organize thoughts, and express them confidently is a core competency that goes beyond academic study and is essential for all aspects of life.
Reading comprehension and summarizing skills developed during middle school serve as a solid foundation for high school studies, college, and even social life.
I hope this book will help students not be afraid of writing, but rather understand the world through writing and experience personal growth.
