Features: This listening and speaking textbook set, "Easy Listening, Easy Speaking—English Listening and Speaking Course for Graduate Students of the Chinese Academy of Sciences," is divided into two volumes. The concept of this set was conceived several years ago with the aim of improving students' practical English proficiency. In the writing process, it adheres to a learner-centered teaching philosophy and communicative language teaching methods, integrating listening and speaking. The first volume focuses on developing students' conversational skills, while the second volume emphasizes the ability to express topics. This book is the first volume of the set. To ensure writing quality, the preliminary draft has been used in consecutive editions of the Master's English teaching program at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Graduate University for several years. Based on extensive feedback from both students and teachers, we have carefully revised the trial version to meet the needs of more students. The book is richly illustrated, easy to understand, and suitable for the needs of a broad range of students.
