Features: The Longman Shocking English series consists of five volumes, each compiling nearly 30 interesting discussion topics, categorized into five major themes that cover various aspects of Western social life. Each topic is open-ended and somewhat controversial, designed to help students understand the values reflected in the topics, clarify their own opinions, and engage in in-depth discussions. This aims to cultivate students' ability to think, express, communicate, and use grammar and phrases in English. This book has the following features:
1. Thoughtful Listening, Meaningful Expression. The materials selected for this series cover topics of interest to young people and willingness to discuss, such as economy, society, culture, emotions, family, and fashion. This allows readers to improve their listening and speaking skills while deepening their understanding of the social and cultural backgrounds of other countries.
2. Listening First, Integrated Speaking and Listening. As the foundation of two-way information exchange, listening naturally holds a more important position. Each unit begins with listening exercises, providing learners with necessary and sufficient language input. These materials can also be directly applied to the subsequent speaking exercises.
3. Expressing Individuality, Releasing Oneself. The speaking exercises discard traditional repetitive training methods, encouraging learners to reflect on the values and cultural connotations reflected in the topics, and to further think and explore. This enhances students' interest and boosts their motivation and confidence in learning.
