Features: The ultimate goal of learning English is not to pass exams, but to communicate successfully. If language learning does not focus on communicative contexts, it cannot be appropriate; if language learning does not pay attention to the diversity of expression, it cannot be rich. "Communicative English Colloquialisms Dictionary" was compiled under these guiding principles, based on the demands of the times for foreign language learning and the actual needs of English learners. The book highlights the following features in its compilation:
1. Classifies practical English oral communicative content according to communicative settings and functions;
2. Sets up practical and useful Chinese expressions and communicative sentence patterns for each scenario;
3. Selects popular and practical English expressions for communicative sentences and patterns;
4. Provides typical, appropriate, and practical examples for selected sentence patterns;
5. Marks replaceable parts in communicative sentences with "" for easy reference and generalization by readers;
6. Provides necessary pronunciation, part of speech, and definitions for potential new words to facilitate learning;
7. Offers appropriate explanations and descriptions of communicative knowledge, background knowledge, and cultural points.
