Features: With the continuous improvement of university foreign language teaching standards, the starting point for postgraduate foreign language learning has also been rising year by year. The National College English Teaching Syllabus and the Postgraduate English Teaching Syllabus have been successively revised. In response to the specific needs of postgraduate public English teaching in the 21st century, the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press conducted extensive and in-depth research nationwide, listened to the suggestions of English teaching experts and scholars in China, and, based on a thorough analysis of the current state of postgraduate English teaching, carefully planned and organized more than ten key universities such as Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University, Shandong University, Sun Yat-sen University, Dalian University of Technology, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, etc., to launch the "New Century Postgraduate Public English Textbooks" in 2002. The textbook writing follows the following principles: exercise design and activity arrangements are centered on successful learning, emphasizing the cultivation of applied skills; targeting the declining listening and speaking abilities of postgraduates, it places importance on oral and listening training; the text materials and genres are diverse and up-to-date; it emphasizes the cultivation of translation and writing (especially thesis writing) skills; while highlighting grammatical and syntactic knowledge, it integrates the teaching of textual knowledge. This book is the "Listening and Speaking" volume, with the following features:

★ Each lesson includes a popular song, making English learning enjoyable and relaxed;
