Features: The "Open English" series is a multi-media English textbook for self-study, developed through a collaboration between the China Central Radio & Television University and the Open University of the UK, specifically designed for distance learning students in China. This book is a supplementary textbook for "Open English 1" and follows a similar format, but breaks the traditional structure of supplementary materials by incorporating a "Virtual Tutor." While providing exercises in vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, listening, speaking, reading, and writing, it integrates the teacher's guidance and support, making the remote open English learning process less "lonely." Before each learning task, learners receive guidance from the "Virtual Tutor." The "Virtual Tutor" not only offers guidance on learning methods but also guides learners into real communication contexts. Through extensive and repeated practice, learners can steadily progress toward their learning goals. To help learners build a strong foundation in pronunciation, this workbook includes explanations and exercises on pronunciation, as well as a dramatic radio serial and some humorous short jokes. These resources create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for learners while helping them master authentic and natural English.
