Features: This is a practical Chinese-English conversation manual, especially suitable for travelers and visitors going abroad. It should be more comprehensive and complete than the elderly couple's cards. The book includes conversations for different situations and comes with audio recordings, aiming to help users not only ask questions correctly in English but also understand the responses. The latter is actually more challenging to achieve. It requires reaching a certain listening level and mastering a sufficient vocabulary to handle the speed of speech of native English speakers and communicate smoothly. The book also provides a brief introduction to cultural and other background knowledge and information that readers may need while traveling abroad, presented in boxed and annotated forms throughout the chapters. Some particularly important vocabulary is placed in a glossary at the end of each chapter for easy reference and memorization. For situations where the same sentence can have multiple expressions in English, the book lists several options using slashes (//) for readers to choose from.
