It also supplements some commonly used phrases not included in the syllabus but very useful. These phrases are accompanied by Chinese and English explanations and example sentences. This not only helps readers accurately understand and memorize these phrases but also expands their vocabulary and cultivates their understanding and recognition of words and sentence patterns, thereby gradually improving their reading comprehension skills and speed.
