Features: This book is the advanced version of the "English Corner Series." Students with advanced spoken English skills can confidently discuss familiar Chinese topics at English corners, but they often find it challenging to express and discuss things related to English-speaking countries in English. To address this issue, this book provides targeted guidance from three main aspects: American topics for English corners, topic vocabulary, and American idioms. The topics selected in the book are timeless themes for English corners, while also fully reflecting contemporary characteristics, such as the political system, financial policies, traditional culture, education system, internet economy, pop music, film industry, and online education in the United States. By using this book, students can discuss general American topics in English with greater ease after participating in English corner activities for one semester. This book is suitable for students who have completed English Corner: Talking About China, as well as for second-year college students and above or those eager to quickly improve their spoken English skills. The book comes with two audio cassettes.
