本書爲《用英文講好中國故事》的第三輯。從考試剛需到國際交流剛需，中國文化的“英文表達能力”已成核心競爭力：在中高考、四六級、考研等考試中，中國文化相關分值與考查比重逐年上升；留學申請、國際交流、海外生活裏，能否用英文講清“餃子”習俗、“七夕”傳說，更是展現文化自信的關鍵。面對這樣的需求與學習者“想表達卻無方”的困境，《用英文講好中國故事》應運而生。 《用英文講好中國故事》由新東方名師汪珺與劍橋雅思考官Matthew Clark聯手打造，以“中英名師播客式文化對談”爲核心，分5輯，覆蓋48箇中國文化常考話題，涵蓋傳統節日、一飲一食、日常生活、經典文化、中國符號五大類。書中配備48個思維導圖、144個讀前思考問題、240道讀後練習、1300+必備詞彙（含核心詞、拓展詞、通用詞），幫學習者搭建“懂文化+會表達”的完整路徑。 建議5-8年級孩子或已開啓獨立閱讀的學習者使用。全書總閱讀量約10萬，藍思值1000L，AR值7.4，既能銜接小學到初中的英語閱讀需求，更能滿足英語水平較高者的英文拓展閱讀需求，實現“讀故事、學文化、提英語”的多重目標。

逆境思因果，順境思無常。沒有人會一直走上坡路，當然也沒有人一直走下坡路。就像這段話所說：“每個人都會有一段異常艱難的時光，生活的壓力，工作的失意，學業的壓力，愛得惶惶不可終日…挺過來的，人生就會豁然開朗；挺不過來的，時間也會教你怎麼與它們握手言和。所以不必害怕的。” 昨天的暴雨淋不溼今天的我自己，順境時多做事，逆境時多讀書。相信一切都會好起來的。沒有什麼過不去的坎，我們都有美好的未來！

作爲一個英文課外讀物，這是值得推薦。 但是這裏面摻雜了一些個人的主觀想法，甚至有部分貶低自己文化的內容。
