Features: This book is based on new teaching materials and syllabi, systematically summarizing and organizing spoken expressions and colloquial idioms for commonly used vocabulary in daily life, accompanied by rich and authentic example sentences. Specifically, this book has the following features:
1. Novelty. This is reflected in two aspects: First, the topic is new—currently, there are almost no specialized middle school English speaking dictionaries in China, and this book can be said to fill this gap. Second, the format is innovative. The book arranges entries in alphabetical order, designates common daily life vocabulary in middle school English as primary entries, and corresponding fixed spoken expressions and colloquial idioms as secondary entries. Under each secondary entry, it comprehensively summarizes and organizes the specific usage of the entry, along with abundant example sentences.
2. Systematicity. The entries selected in this book do not focus on specific life topics or functional expressions in middle school English, but rather systematically explain all possible spoken fixed expressions and colloquial idioms based on the vocabulary lists in the new teaching materials and syllabi.
3. Practicality. This primarily lies in the fact that all the entries collected in the book are derived from the new teaching materials and syllabi, and all spoken expressions and colloquial idioms are highly typical and practical sentences. As students use this book, they will find that every entry and example sentence is something they genuinely need in daily life and is also highly useful for various exams.
Since the spoken expressions and colloquial idioms in this book are independent of one another, students can systematically use the book as a textbook for reading, selectively skip certain entries, or consult it as a reference book only when necessary.
