英文写作无捷径
近几年，Holybird Publishing 邀请一些专业而有经验的加拿大老师为中国学生编写了系列全英文版学习用书Common Core Standards Series（CCSS，通用核心标准系列）。目前与读者已经见面的有《Smart Reading》、《Smart Math》、《Smart Science》三套，每套按年级分为1-8 册。各分册学习内容与难度与美国及其他英语国家各年级的要求基本相当。该系列图书主要服务的读者对象是规划将来出国留学的中小学生，为他们将来的出国学习打下一定基础。图书上市后获得了较好的反响。该系列图书，主要有以下几个特点：
一是对应和参照美国现行学校教育体系中较为通用的使用标准（CCSS），由加拿大老师为中国学生特别编写。其编写依据和对象非常明晰，这样训练起来科学系统、更有针对性，一些国际学校或有所需要的学生可以直接用作训练教程。
二是其难度与西方英语国家各年级的水平接近，这样为中国孩子提供了一个初步检测标准，让他们了解自己的学科知识与英语水平接近哪个阶梯，有利于循序渐进地学习与提高。
三是给中国学生提供了一套西方学校的训练预案，将英语语言训练、学科知识学习与西方文化了解融为一体。无论从教学方式还是学习内容来讲，中西方学校教育有较大差别。通过这套书的训练，孩子们对西方课堂的学习内容有些初步认识，为今后身临其境地在西方课堂学习做个过渡、打下基础。
英语写作，尤其是学术英语写作（academic writing），是中国留学生普遍感到头疼的事，在国外网站经常可以看到代改作业或论文的广告。针对这一问题，Holybird 继《SmartReading》、《Smart Math》、《Smart Science》之后，新推出了这套帮助中国孩子训练英文写作的《Smart Writing》，全套六册，由加拿大老师编写。作者写作时参照了西方学校各年级写作教学的要求与训练。如果与外国人打过更多交道，会发现他们做事严谨性并讲求逻辑，这或许离不开他们
从小接受的训练。英语写作也如此，中国孩子们如果在学习英语的过程中增强这方面的训练意识，多加练习，相信也能更好地用英文进行多方面、多层次的书面表达。
《Smart Writing》全套书从一年级的基础训练入手，从单词拼写、标点使用、句子构成，到段落完善；从单一话题到各种文体的写作训练，作者试图从点到面、从单一到多样化地引导学生一步步了解英语写作的要求与行文方法，最终独立完成更高层次的写作、应对各种考试的写作任务，如托幅、雅思、SAT 等。对于书中的各项训练任务，作者还提供了参考答案，供学生参考使用。
本书适合小学高年级及中学生使用，由于各种原因，书中难免出现一些缺点或错误，敬请批评指正！
