In addition to the functional items shared by Chinese and English, it also includes functional techniques required for Chinese-to-English translation. The topical syllabus reflects the content of language expression. The textbook presents popular topics that people want to discuss. The themes of the book's texts cover aspects such as quality education, lifelong education, talent training, learning in the 21st century, mental health, obesity and health, the internet, tourism, cars, environmental protection, fashion, tea culture, leisure, advertising, brands, and corporate culture.
