The National English Proficiency Test (PETS) is a non-academic English certificate exam organized by the National Education Examination Center, targeting the general public. PETS is a brand-new social English proficiency testing system with a completely new question format and testing approach, evaluating language learners' skills across five sections. The content covers listening, English knowledge application, reading comprehension, writing, and oral expression skills, aiming to ensure that candidates can not only read but also understand, and ultimately engage in fluent conversations and express their thoughts fully in English. This book is specifically designed for candidates preparing for the PETS Level 2 oral exam. The PETS Level 2 exam is equivalent to senior high school English proficiency, requiring candidates to master approximately 2,000 words and related phrases. To help candidates pass the PETS Level 2 oral exam smoothly, the authors analyzed the PETS Level 2 syllabus and past exam questions, combining their experience as PETS oral examiners to meticulously craft this book.

Based on their experience in English teaching and as examiners, the authors analyzed and summarized the most common issues candidates face and the mistakes they are most likely to make, providing detailed analysis, suggestions, and solutions. From pre-exam preparation to entering the exam room and through the three sections of the oral test, the authors offer practical advice.
■ Strong Targeting. The 20 simulated exam rooms in the book are strictly written according to the new PETS Level 2 syllabus's oral test topics. The content is broad and fresh, covering all aspects of daily life.
