Features: This series of textbooks takes into account the real-life situations and work practices of Chinese learners of English, breaking the conventional framework of sentence pattern drills found in similar textbooks. Instead, it focuses on scenarios and content from real-life social contexts, providing a broad scope and rich material. This approach is more conducive to stimulating learners' enthusiasm, helping them generalize and express themselves meaningfully, and enabling effective communication based on the correct use of the English language. This book is the third volume, primarily aimed at intermediate learners who have mastered approximately 1,300 to 1,800 vocabulary words and most basic grammar structures and sentence patterns. In terms of structure, this volume, like the other three, follows a unit format with two main sections: INPUT and OUTPUT.
The INPUT section includes phonetic training, knowledge background related to the unit theme, word and sentence pattern exercises, memorable sentence practice, and humorous stories. The OUTPUT section includes organized 4DIP training (Description, Dialogue, Discussion, Debate, Presentation). However, in terms of content, this book also has a different focus compared to the other three volumes.
As the initial level, this volume places greater emphasis on simple and practical daily expressions, with themes closely related to daily life, such as shopping, cooking, describing actions, describing sounds, personal schedules, room arrangements, and making phone calls. The training methods lean more toward Description (description). The second volume begins to focus more on daily social interactions and communication, such as introducing oneself, dating, offering or requesting help, exchanging news and information, and expressing various emotions and sentiments. The training methods here lean more toward Dialogue (dialogue). This volume broadly covers various aspects of modern life, from the internet and job opportunities to daily studies and family life, addressing topics that people generally care about. It has a wider scope, with training methods emphasizing Discussion and Debate (discussion and debate). The fourth volume, on the other hand, takes a business perspective, focusing on language expression training for various business and formal occasions, as well as discussions on topics commonly required in the business world and workplace, including self-promotion, business transactions, negotiations, business reports, and formal social interactions. The training methods here lean more toward Presentation (presentation).
