Features: Some spoken language differs greatly between literal meaning and actual intent. For example, "talkover" is often mistakenly thought to mean "talk ends," when in reality, it implies "further discussion." It's truly a case of "a small difference leading to a vast error." In this sense, this meticulously compiled "oral language feast" presented by frontline teachers with years of teaching experience can be considered a pioneering effort. The book includes over three thousand new English spoken words, phrases, and sentence structures, offering interpretations and analyses from multiple perspectives such as cultural customs, life taboos, and linguistic habits, supported by numerous examples. The scenarios presented give learners a sense of immersion, enabling them to break through spoken language barriers and achieve fluency in a subtle, gradual manner.
The content of this book is extensive, covering various aspects of daily life and social activities. It also includes numerous popular topics of interest, with rich material, innovative sentence structures, vivid examples, and meticulous analysis, all of which surpass other books in the field. This book is suitable for students of College English levels 1 to 6, non-English major postgraduate students, middle school students with strong academic performance, as well as intermediate and advanced English learners.
