Features: This book is meticulously arranged with 60 lessons, divided into three parts: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. Part 1 is the Functional Section, consisting of 12 lessons. Function refers to the use of language by its speaker to achieve a communicative purpose. The content of the Functional Section covers: Greetings and Farewells, Likes and Dislikes, Gratitude and Apologies, Suggestions and Advice, Wishes and Congratulations, Agreement and Disagreement, Praise and Encouragement, Worry and Fear, Intentions and Plans, Blame and Complaints, Permission and Refusal, Confirmation and Questions. Mastering the 12 functional expression packages provided in this book will enable you to handle various aspects of English oral communication with ease, allowing you to express yourself confidently and articulate your viewpoints effortlessly.
Part 2 is the Situational Section. This part selects 48 of the most common and popular scenarios in daily life, covering all aspects of daily communication, travel and transportation, food and health, work and business, culture and leisure, education and technology, etc. By simulating specific daily scenarios, it provides classic and practical sentence patterns and dialogues. This allows you to practice and memorize from easy to difficult, from simple to complex, unlocking your oral potential and challenging your listening limits.
This book focuses on practical scenarios while also incorporating functional elements. Each unit mainly consists of six sections: Keyword Index, Topic Introduction, Common Expressions, Classic Dialogues, Core CET 4/6 Vocabulary, and Cultural Background. For more challenging sentence structures, concise annotations or extensions (notes) are provided and placed after the dialogues. When studying, you can use the keyword index and topic introduction to understand the basic information of each lesson; by learning various related sentence patterns and expanding on them, you can derive countless sentences of your own; through situational dialogues, you can practice with precision, combined with CET listening exercises in Part 3, to gain a deeper understanding of each dialogue. The cultural background section helps you truly understand the cultural customs of the UK and the US, enriching your English with authentic depth and adding profound resonance, enabling you to truly master natural and fluent spoken English.
The target readers of this book are those with intermediate to advanced English proficiency. If you have been learning English for a long time but still struggle to speak; if you want to learn fluent spoken English to enhance your career prospects, for study abroad, to secure higher salaries, or for further research; if you want to pass the CET 4/6 and postgraduate English exams with ease, this book is an excellent choice.
