Features: This book categorizes content based on common "scenarios" and universal "functions," encompassing a wide range of expressions needed in daily life as well as various topics related to study and work, making it a "small yet comprehensive" resource. When selecting sentence patterns, the book follows the principles of common usage and ease of learning, prioritizing patterns used in daily life in Japan, supplemented by frequently used vocabulary, to help readers expand their expressive abilities in the shortest time possible. To accommodate the language habits of Chinese readers (thinking in Chinese first, then in foreign language), the central sentence patterns in this book are arranged with Chinese on the left and Japanese on the right. The "Extrapolate and Apply" section summarizes multiple ways to express the central sentence patterns, deepening readers' understanding of similar expressions. Additionally, a special "Scenario Response" section is included to highlight the practical application of language, giving readers a sense of being in the situation and achieving a deeper understanding of both the language and Japanese culture. Beyond the language itself, the book also introduces some cultural background knowledge to help readers gain a more profound understanding of Japanese and Japanese life.
