Features: The National Public English Test (PETS) Level 3 is the intermediate level among five levels, with its standard equivalent to the English proficiency of Chinese students who have graduated from high school and then studied public English for two years in a college or self-studied to the same level. Candidates who pass this level can meet the general requirements for employment, promotion, industry selection, further studies, and pursuing degrees. The National Higher Education Self-Study Examination Guidance Committee has organized the writing of this textbook based on the requirements of this level. The textbook consists of 18 lessons, each with a communicative topic, and an introductory paragraph on the first page briefly introduces the main content and scenarios for practice in the lesson. Each lesson includes: dialogues, text, vocabulary and phrases, notes, exercises, and supplementary reading materials. The textbook provides a set of mock tests after Lesson 9 and Lesson 18, respectively. These tests are designed strictly according to the PETS Level 3 examination syllabus formulated by the Education Examination Center to help candidates familiarize themselves with the level standards, format, content, and structure of the exam. At the end of the textbook, there is an appendix that includes a communicative topics table, a functional notions table, a grammar items table, a language skills table, transcripts of listening exercises, exercise answers, and a comprehensive vocabulary and phrases list. Additionally, the textbook is accompanied by a cassette tape with readings by native English speakers, including content for listening exercises and the listening section of the mock tests.
