Features: "New Concept English" follows the communicative language teaching approach, with each lesson containing training content for listening and speaking skills. This book is designed as a supplement to "New Concept English," featuring carefully selected classic sentence patterns from the original book. Core parts of these sentence patterns are practiced through "substitution exercises," changing expressions or content to achieve the effect of learning by analogy and achieving results with less effort. The over 400 dialogues selected in this book are derived from real-life daily interactions in the UK and the US, with every sentence being authentic and applicable in daily work and life in English-speaking countries. All situational dialogues contain no unnecessary vocabulary and avoid the rigid application of complex grammar. All words and sentences are popular topics or keywords. Just like learning "Hello" directly, these English dialogues are easy to learn, require no rote memorization, and can be applied immediately after learning one sentence. The main body of the book is divided into three parts: "Starting Off," "Speeding Up," and "Sprinting Forward." This structure allows synchronization with the textbook units, dividing oral learning into three stages, each with gradually increasing language materials and vocabulary difficulty. It also facilitates learners in planning their study progress and evaluating their learning outcomes. Each stage includes a dedicated "Study Plan" and "Satisfaction Evaluation" form for learners to fill out based on their learning status. In the "Starting Off" section, the authors summarize the classic sentence patterns of each lesson and provide rich substitution exercises for learners. The focus of this stage is to master the core sentence patterns of the text and apply them based on certain language materials, reinforcing understanding and usage. The "Speeding Up" and "Sprinting Forward" sections primarily focus on situational dialogues, aiming to provide learners with more practical English dialogues for reference. These dialogues have clear themes, helping learners accumulate language materials from different perspectives.
