Features:
(1) As China becomes a member of the WTO and hosts the 2008 Olympics, English has become an indispensable communication tool for the entire nation. Particularly in the 21st century, with the advancement of science and frequent international exchanges, English has become a global language, and the general public is striving to master basic English proficiency.
(2) Developing English listening and speaking skills in the classroom often requires significant time and money, but the results are limited. The best approach is to first acquire basic English knowledge in middle and high school, frequently listen to English recordings, and confidently express oneself when interacting with foreigners based on one's knowledge and abilities. The second best way is to immerse oneself in an English-speaking environment, such as living in the U.S. or the U.K., where habits can be formed to develop listening and speaking skills, which is the most effective route.
(3) Since we lack an English-speaking environment in China, we have specially compiled the "Today's English" (Essential Edition) with accompanying audio tapes for universal use. With diligent study and frequent listening, unexpected results are guaranteed.
(4) The content of this book is divided into four units: Short Sentences, Questions, Answers, and Sentence Patterns. It is concise and practical. Everyone should have a copy, which is sufficient for use. When encountering foreign guests or traveling abroad, you can make the most of it, ensuring no problems with listening, speaking, or responding.
