Features: The "Fluent Expression—English Keyword Collocation Training" series, introduced from Thomson Learning Publishing Group, is a collection of English vocabulary learning books. It includes 3 books: Pre-Intermediate, Intermediate, and Pre-Advanced. "Collocation" refers to how words combine with each other in usage. This combination is often fixed. Nouns are the most expressive word class in English, also known as "keywords" in this book. "Fluent Expression—English Keyword Collocation Training" selects over 600 of the most commonly used English nouns and practices their 10-20 collocations in different contexts. The content of this book is extremely extensive, ranging from court rituals and systems, successes and failures in governance, to the teachings of Confucian classics and other schools of thought, as well as landscapes, cultural phenomena, literary works, and even the trivial anecdotes of scholars. It is a representative work of Song Dynasty note-taking that focuses on textual research while also incorporating miscellaneous tales.
