Features: The book is designed to provide English learners with useful, internationally common, and unambiguous phrases. The book has the following features in its arrangement and selection:
1. Each English-speaking country has phrases suitable for different purposes and occasions, such as formal and informal language; street language and slang; neutral, informal, and formal expressions; professional and technical terms, etc. English learners as a second language or a foreign language face the problem of how to avoid using overly formal or overly informal English, as well as using inappropriate language in certain situations.
2. The second feature of the book is that all the phrases in it are not limited to specific regions or cultures of English-speaking countries. In other words, although the language in the book may originate from a particular English-speaking group, people who speak English all over the world can use and understand it.
3. The purpose of language is to communicate information and ideas clearly, so the book focuses on phrases that are not easily misunderstood or confusing.
4. For native English speakers, learning phrases is a natural process, but for non-native English speakers, finding the right words at the right time can be a problem. Therefore, the phrases in the book are arranged by function, making it easier for readers to find the right words in the right context and at the right time. The table of contents is also arranged by function, listing relevant phrases and example sentences.
