Features: PETS Level 1 (B) is an auxiliary level of PETS Level 1, with slightly lower requirements. The purpose of establishing this level is to meet the needs of widespread popularization of daily English expressions, so it places greater emphasis on oral communication and basic daily interaction. To meet the training and learning needs of the Level 1 (B) exam, the National English Proficiency Test (NEPT) textbook writing team has compiled this textbook based on the new exam syllabus formulated by the Ministry of Education. The textbook focuses on the spirit of quality education and competency-based learning, emphasizing communicative application and practical features. It covers all the grammar items, communicative functions, and approximately 98% of the vocabulary in the Level 1 (B) syllabus, while also appropriately expanding some grammar and vocabulary knowledge to bridge the gap for candidates transitioning to Level 1. This book covers multiple areas of daily communication, with each area tailored to the actual needs of the candidate group. It includes 16 communicative topics, each forming a unit.
