Features: Listening is one of the most challenging skills to master in foreign language learning. In English listening learning, people often focus too much on distinguishing individual words, trying to hear every word clearly, and as a result, they often fail to keep up with the jumps in the flow of speech and cannot quickly understand and grasp the ideas of the listened-to passages. The four main features of this book are:
1. Authentic radio program recordings: Each article is accompanied by authentic radio program recordings.
2. Three recording speeds: The main recordings for each exercise have been specially processed for speed, with all articles available in three speeds: slow (120 words/minute), medium (140 words/minute), and fast (160 words/minute) to meet the needs of different learners or the same learner at different stages of learning.
3. Large-capacity recordings: The average recording length for each article is about 5 minutes, with the recordings for each speed equivalent to 10 audio cassettes, and the total length of recordings in all three speeds is equivalent to 30 audio cassettes.
4. Flexible playback recordings: The playback software specially designed for this book's recordings is simple and intuitive, allowing learners to freely choose playback speeds, play any recording segment at will, view the corresponding original text of any recording segment, and repeat or play along with the display of the corresponding recording text.
Target Audience: This book is suitable for college students' post-class self-training. Learners who need to take various English language proficiency exams (such as the Graduate English Exam, overseas English language proficiency exams, etc.) can use this book for listening reinforcement training at different speeds and reading (Cloze) training.
