Features: The "Speak English" series, upon its publication, quickly gained popularity among readers for its concise dialogues, clear focus, natural language, systematic design, typical contexts, and authentic recordings. In just five years since its release, it has served hundreds of thousands of readers and has become a model for many authors to study and imitate. Currently, the series has been published in its fourth edition, which is extremely rare in books in the same category. Moreover, the series has won the Dalian University of Foreign Languages Outstanding Scientific Research Award, the Liaoning Province Outstanding Social Science Achievement Award, and the National University Press Outstanding Bestselling Book Award for its unique features and the authors' commitment to book quality.
"Speak English for Pop Culture" focuses on learning and applying classic English phrases for modern conversations; "Speak English for Everyday Situations" emphasizes the use and expansion of modern spoken vocabulary; "Speak English for Self-Guided Travel" focuses on practical travel conversations; and "Speak English for Modern Etiquette" emphasizes mastering appropriate language for specific occasions. All of them are organized around language functions, with common sentence patterns as the thread, creating simulated contexts through short dialogues to provide examples, language notes, related knowledge introductions, and Chinese translations, thereby assisting self-learners. The books in this series are both independent and have their own focuses, but all serve the theme of cultivating English speaking skills.
