Features: This series of books is divided into three levels, each consisting of three volumes, targeting beginner, intermediate, and advanced English speaking learners. Each level includes approximately 1,000 high-frequency words and phrases. The series adheres to the principle of serving the needs of ordinary Chinese English learners, avoiding slang and distinguishing it from listening vocabulary. It focuses on practical speaking needs, highlighting easy-to-learn and relatively stable words and phrases to effectively address the challenge of (opening one's mouth to speak). Additionally, the series maintains the internationality of the selected vocabulary, with most of the 3,000+ words and phrases being commonly used high-frequency words by people in English-speaking countries. The books are arranged in a modular format, with example sentences presented as authentic and lively spoken dialogues and sentences, accompanied by audio recordings, aiming to help readers solidly master these spoken words and phrases through flexible and vivid methods. The main features of the series are as follows:
(1) Emphasizes the multiple uses of high-frequency words in spoken language, helping readers to grasp each word flexibly and firmly.
(2) Creatively emphasizes correct pronunciation and usage of words in spoken language, with spelling memorization as secondary, and provides tips to help readers remember pronunciation.
(3) Addresses the difficulties in using spoken vocabulary by linking learning to related Chinese usage, comparing synonyms, homophones, etc. This helps readers correct common errors in "Chinglish" spoken English and use the vocabulary more appropriately and accurately. The series has different memory requirements for the three volumes of spoken vocabulary:
- The first volume requires readers to master all the vocabulary thoroughly.
- The second volume requires flexible mastery while further consolidating the vocabulary learned in the first volume.
- The third volume is divided into two levels: thorough mastery and selective mastery.
It is believed that through the study of these 3,000+ high-frequency spoken words and phrases across the three volumes, readers will be able to handle daily communication and lay a solid vocabulary foundation for further improvement in spoken English.
