I picked up this book for the first time when I started immersion.

I didn't know what was right or left anyway, so I searched for "English" and "science" on Amazon.com and got a hit.

 

(About the first edition)

It is a new book, so it is easy to read.

It is easy for those who are not good at English because not only technical terms but also verbs and idioms are annotated.

The Japanese annotations are directly below the English sentences, so those who want to memorize English will inevitably look at the Japanese annotations.

The book uses a lot of relative pronouns and passive voice in the explanation of terms, so it is difficult to read the English sentences as they are unless you are a high school student or older.

The Japanese translation is written on the same page, so you can check the translation right away.

The contents of the book explain the contents of junior high school, so the contents are not so difficult from a scientific point of view.

The book is not too difficult from a scientific point of view, since it explains the contents of junior high school.

 

 

↓It seems to have been renewed as a new edition in 2020 and topics have been added.
