Features: Our target audience: Despite several years of English learning, they still struggle with the awkwardness of "silent English"; unable to find the "method of speaking English," they can only say "Hello!" and "Nice to meet you!" in meetings; when faced with opportunities to communicate in English, words are on the tip of their tongue, but they often hesitate to speak; they frequently visit "English Corners" but can never integrate into conversations or engage in deep discussions; with a firm determination, they are determined to break down the "fortress" of English communication.
Solves two major problems in English communication: Don't know what to say? Don't know how to say it?
Advocates for content and ideas in communication, giving you something to talk about!
Focuses on current hotspots and focal points, giving you a sense of what to say!
Pursues natural expressions and usage, giving you the preparation to speak!
Guides communication skills and strategies, giving you the ability to speak effectively!
This book selects six categories of topics that people usually focus on: social hotspots, character highlights, economic perspectives, technological wonders, sports stages, and fashion trends. Under each category, there are several timely topics commonly discussed in contemporary Chinese society and culture. Each category follows the dialogue's logic and process, designed into seven sections: Vocabulary, Topic Introduction, Opening Lines, Conversation Patterns, Diverse Opinions, Topic Information, and Topic Extension.
As you gradually master each section, the book guides readers and conveys a mindset for communicating in English: start with a relaxed warm-up to dive into specific topic discussions, express thoughts appropriately and concisely, spark intellectual collisions during communication, and deepen and elevate the conversation.
