Description
Book Introduction
“You need to know the core to be able to focus!”
The Fastest English Study Strategy to Get into a Prestigious University

From a proven English roadmap to grade-specific study methods
The culmination of 15 years of expertise from an entrance exam expert, the "English Grade 1 Maker."

College admissions can be fair or not, depending on how you look at it.
It is fair to say that children have limited time, willpower, and effort available to them.
But other than that, there's not much that's fair.
Many variables, such as the academy they can attend, the textbooks they can use, and the ability of their parents to guide them, have a significant impact on their children's English skills.
Perhaps, the roadmap you follow is more important than the amount of effort, time, and will you put into it, which determines your success or failure in the college entrance exam.


Having taught English in the Bundang and Pangyo areas for 15 years, author Kim Soo-min has seen numerous success stories and unfortunate ones.
And I realized that there is a clear standard for 'English study that helps with entrance exams' and 'English study that just takes the pressure off.'
To succeed in college, it is important to know what to do, but it is also important to know what not to do.
Because it wastes the child's time and energy.
This standard is shared only among mothers who sent their children to medical school or prestigious universities, and is in line with the core secrets they focused on when educating their children in English.

They say there is no royal road to studying, but there is definitely a shortcut to getting a perfect score in English on the CSAT.
This book presents an optimized roadmap for studying English that will lead you straight to a prestigious university, and corrects misconceptions about studying English in elementary school.
While providing realistic advice on areas that require intensive study, it also advises against 'reading vague original texts, listening to music blindly, and writing English diaries without guidance' and provides clear alternatives to these.
In particular, it introduces a roadmap to follow in the form of '3 tracks' to understand my child's ability, allowing mothers who cannot completely relax while sending their children to English academies to make the most of English academies, and even for those who do not send their children to English academies, it provides a realistic and sustainable solution that can be easily followed by organizing a curriculum.


Entrance exam English begins in elementary school.
There are no children who are strong or weak at entrance exams.
The only difference was the direction of study.
Let's take a look at this book, which encapsulates the English education strategies of mothers who sent their children to prestigious universities.
Your child will definitely win the entrance exam.

Into the book
In my experience, there is a very strong correlation between Korean language skills and English skills.
However, parents of elementary school students may not be able to feel this point yet.
This is because the texts become difficult and the difference in approach to writing becomes more evident when students reach at least the second or third year of middle school.
It is recommended that you know this in advance and prepare for it while you are in elementary school.
So, at this time, it is better to focus on studying the core rather than learning various types of English.
Even if you read books, you should read books that improve your literacy skills to develop your Korean language skills.

---p.37 「Chapter 1 03.
From “Korean is the basics”

No one can deny the theory that the most effective time to instill the habit of reading original texts is before the age of 12.
However, in an environment like ours where competition for college entrance exams is fierce, it is difficult to focus solely on reading original texts before the age of 12.
There is a significant gap between the skills gained from reading original texts and those measured in domestic entrance exams.
If you don't know this, you will end up just continuing to follow the ideal form.
Therefore, it is better to think of reading original texts as a lifelong hobby rather than something to be devoted to only before the age of 12.
That will help your child live a happy life through English in the future.

---p.60 「Chapter 2 01.
From "Why is reading important?"

There are so many parents who let their children listen to random content from the moment they wake up in the morning, while they eat, while they play, and until they go to sleep.
It is really inefficient to just listen to music for 24 hours without enough input.
Of course, in the early stages of childhood, many conditions for listening are not yet in place, so they have no choice but to listen indifferently.
However, from the time you enter elementary school, reading and listening training becomes of real help.

---p.119 From “Chapter 3 02 Differences between Eavesdropping and Listening”

From the first year of middle school, direct reading and direct interpretation learning are mandatory.
Otherwise, your reading skills will remain stagnant or will not improve any further.
From middle school onwards, we recommend using your eyes and hands to analyze long and complex sentences made up of compound and complex sentences, breaking them up, grouping them together, and interpreting their meaning.

From "Middle School 1st Year: Determining High School Ability"

The 'Table of Contents Study Method' is a study method that involves writing down only keywords that correspond to the topic, subtopics, and subconcepts of the table of contents, and then writing down explanations, examples, and examples for them.
This is a method of writing down the table of contents and subtopics of the book on a blank sheet of paper in advance and writing down the previously structured content.
This method is suitable for studying chapters with extensive content.
Since the table of contents plays an implicit role, practice writing down sub-concepts while looking at this table of contents.
Leave blank any parts you can't remember, complete a topic, look at the book again, and write down the concepts to supplement the parts you can't remember.

Publisher's Review
“Create the best skills with the least investment of time!”
Practical mentoring for mothers who are just starting out with English for college entrance exams.

In a country like Korea, where there are so many different branches of English education, it is really difficult to teach well.
However, if you have a long-term perspective on English education, it will be of great help in guiding your child to the right English study method.
The road we have not taken is scary, but if we use those who have taken that road as examples and apply them to our children, it is not difficult.
Although parents cannot study for their children, they must play a role in guiding them on the path they should take.


Author Kim Soo-min says that English as a language and English as a subject are different, and that the two types of English take different paths.
If you are aiming for college, you should approach English as a subject starting in the 4th grade of elementary school.
If you started learning English for fun and interest in the first or second grade of elementary school, you should change your study pattern to analysis and memorization starting in the fifth or sixth grade.
The goal of studying English should also change from 'language fluency' to 'earning points.'

The core message of this book is that you need to know the criteria for what you should focus on and what you don't, and you need to focus on the studies you need to do at each stage, starting from elementary school.
For example, a middle school student's inability to read the original Harry Potter does not significantly affect his or her grades.
But if you can't read and understand Steve Jobs' Stanford University commencement speech, you'll be in trouble when it comes to your grades.
Not being able to express your thoughts fluently won't significantly affect your score, but not being able to write a paragraph about your thoughts after reading an article about ChatGPT will.


With this book, you will no longer have to worry about studying English.
If you know the criteria clearly, you won't have to keep having your child read only original books or be confused about what to study.
Because the direction and standards to move forward become clear like a well-focused photograph.


“An optimized English roadmap beats secret tutoring!”
The first public release of the "Proven English Grade 1 Roadmap"

Efficiency is very important in college entrance exams.
Studying and knowing where to invest your time, effort, and energy is like a bow that is tuned to hit the target accurately.
If you want to hit your target, you need this book, which systematically organizes the experience and know-how of English entrance exam experts.

《English Grade 1 is Determined in the 4th Grade of Elementary School》 presents learning objectives and roadmaps for each grade from the 1st grade of elementary school to the 3rd grade of middle school, reducing confusion and enabling students to use their time effectively.
We have included a list of recommended textbooks for each area, categorized by level, to provide practical help in studying reading, writing, speaking, and listening in a balanced manner.

Also, based on abundant examples, we have introduced the most effective English study methods for children, such as the '7-step intensive reading training method, structured memorization method, blank test confirmation method, listening and reading study method, and vocabulary study method by period', so that they can reach a high level just by following them.


In addition, it clearly answers the most frequently asked questions from elementary school parents, such as 'weight and appropriate amount of study by subject, tips for choosing a good English academy, in-depth grammar study methods, and how to prepare for the high school credit system.'


The roadmap changes the CSAT English score.
This is the core message of this book.
The moment you encounter this book, all your questions—"Do I really need to study grammar?", "How far should I read original texts?", "How should I teach my students to write in English?", and "How can I develop accurate reading comprehension?"—will disappear.
Let's learn and apply the proven English level 1 roadmap accurately.
My child's journey to a prestigious university will be filled with confidence and hope, not anxiety and worry.
