The book is lively in topic categorization and language expression, making it easy to attract readers. The second edition includes the following main improvements:
1. Phonetic symbols are added to key words for pronunciation, eliminating the need to spend time and effort looking up English dictionaries.
2. To help master correct pronunciation and improve listening skills, we have added a companion CD (70 minutes). Considering that recording the entire book would require multiple CDs and to reduce the burden on readers, we have only recorded the most important section, "Lazy People’s Popular English," and for each word in this section, we have only selected 1-2 representative sentences for recording, so that readers can achieve more with less cost.
3. The book is printed in a two-color layout for easier reading.
4. A new section, "Using Food as Metaphors," has been added to enhance the fun of learning.
