This book deals with editorials, official reports, and like materials of an essay type, in which style and structural pattern have a wider range and vocabulary has virtually no limit. This is a more difficult part of the content of a newspaper and leads to the reading of periodicals of a higher literary level. Of the twelve annotated selections in this book, the first eight are taken from Communist newspapers, whose style is closer to the spoken colloquial and thus easier reading, and the last four from Nationalist newspapers in which the traditional newspaper style is maintained. As part of its language reform movement, the Communist government in 1956 promulgated three lists of simplified writings for complicated characters and has ordered their exclusive use throughout the country.
