Features: Due to the vocabulary used in English teaching materials in China being based on words from the 1970s and 1980s internationally, many words and slang that we consider trendy are no longer used in the UK, or new words and dialectal slang have emerged. They are not only widely used in spoken language but also frequently appear in written texts, posing significant obstacles for students studying in the UK and English learners reading foreign newspapers and magazines. This book selects contemporary British youth slang, especially the new slang popular on campuses, providing their etymology, morphology, and example sentences to help a broad audience of Chinese English learners quickly grasp them in a short period of time.
