Features: This book is rich in content and well-structured, divided into two parts—Function and Topics—with 18 units each. It covers expressions of greetings, introductions, emotions, and more, involving various topics such as socializing, education, and business. Each unit in the Function section and every sub-section under the Topic section consists of four parts: common expressions, model dialogues, oral activities, and cultural background. The dialogues and discussions progress from factual statements to deep-level intellectual exchanges, facilitating learners' improvement from imitation and memorization to self-expression. The cultural background section explores various differences between Chinese and Western cultures and incorporates updated information, such as the successful launch of Shenzhou-5, as well as important knowledge like the fact that Chinese people celebrate Labor Day in May while Americans do so in September. Additionally, the appendix includes information on oral exams like IELTS and TOEFL, providing reference material for candidates preparing for various English speaking tests. This book can serve as a textbook for English speaking courses and is also suitable for English enthusiasts who wish to study independently.
