Features: The (Reprinted Edition) of "English Speaking Course" took six years from the conception of the guiding ideology to the collection of materials and the writing of exercises. Chinese students often find it difficult to master spoken English. A limited number of oral Q&A, as well as the memorization and recitation of short passages and dialogues, fail to improve students' ability to use English in actual daily conversations. Students develop a fear of speaking and struggle to overcome the speaking barrier. To find a way for students to be willing to use English in real-life situations, we conducted experiments and explorations, studied oral textbooks both domestically and internationally, and researched the specific environment in which Chinese students learn spoken English. From more than 60 books and periodicals from China and abroad, we selected materials to complete this "English Speaking Course." It has the following features: 1) The topic of the text is closely related to the lives and thoughts of young people, with a wide range of subjects that are often of interest to and enjoyable for young people to discuss. Learning this book helps young people develop a strong desire to use English in real-life conversations. 2) The training progresses from easy to difficult in a systematic manner; the exercises are carefully designed, lively, and engaging. "Basic English Speaking" and "Intermediate English Speaking" each lesson is accompanied by illustrations and exercises, with methods that have been repeatedly used and proven effective in our teaching over the years. 3) It cultivates students' comprehensive oral skills, including narration, dialogue, conversation, discussion, debate, and more. 4) The textbook is highly adaptable, suitable for young students in schools of different levels and also for English self-learners with varying proficiency levels. 5) Each set of the textbook is accompanied by an English audio recording, with the recording performed by scholars and experts from English-speaking countries. The voice-over is clear, fluent, beautiful, and features standard, pure pronunciation and intonation.
