Features: This series of books is divided into three levels, with three volumes in total, catering to beginners, 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 general Chinese English learners, avoiding slang and distinguishing it from listening vocabulary. It focuses on practical speaking needs, emphasizing easy-to-learn and relatively stable words and phrases to effectively address the challenge of speaking English. 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 adopt a modular layout, with example sentences presented as authentic and vivid spoken dialogues and sentences, accompanied by audio recordings, aiming to help readers solidly master these spoken words and phrases through flexible and engaging methods. The main features of the series are as follows:
(1) It highlights the multiple uses of high-frequency words in spoken English, helping readers to master each word flexibly and thoroughly.
(2) Based on the special requirements of using spoken vocabulary, the series creatively emphasizes correct pronunciation and usage over spelling memorization, providing some tips to help readers remember pronunciations.
(3) To address the difficulties in using spoken vocabulary, the series adopts a learning approach that connects with relevant Chinese usage, comparing synonyms, homophones, etc. This helps readers correct common Chinglish speaking errors and use the vocabulary more appropriately and accurately. The series has different memory requirements for the three volumes:
Volume 1 requires readers to master all the vocabulary thoroughly;
Volume 2 requires flexible mastery while further consolidating the vocabulary learned in Volume 1;
Volume 3 is divided into two levels: thorough mastery and selective mastery.
We believe that through the study of these 3,000+ high-frequency spoken words and phrases in the three volumes, readers will be able to handle daily communication and lay a solid vocabulary foundation for further improvement in their speaking skills.
