This book is different from many other oral English books on the market today because the speakingand language exercises are based on the lexical approach. The lexical approach was developed byMichael Lewis in the 1990s where there is an emphasis on collocations, phrases and expressions. Thisis because two, three, four and even five-word collocations, phrases and expressions make up a hugepercentage of all naturally-occurring text, spoken or written. Estimates vary, but it is possiblethat up to 70% of everything we say, hear, read or write is to be found in some form of fixedexpression. Therefore, it is vital to realize that this is the way we store vocabulary in ourlexical minds. We are more likely to memorize and use phrases rather than single words. In this bookthere is no emphasis on word lists or grammar. After studying English for several years what youneed now is the ability to combine words, many of which you already know, into the phrases andexpressions which are the basis of this book.Some of the unique features of this book are as follows:1. The dialogues all have a main character called Li Xue who is a Chinese student studying abroadand majoring in finance;2. Words which should be stressed are highlighted in every sentence which is a feature of theEnglish language;3. Phrases are given much emphasis and are divided into idioms,semi-fixed expressions and wordpartnerships;4. Phrases not only have a Chinese definition but also an English one to further yourunderstanding;5. Language exercises are included to help reinforce the most important new vocabulary that isintroduced in the dialogues;6. Dialogue 2 reintroduces Dialogue 1 but changes some phrases and words for others with a similarmeaning. This emphasizes the fact that there are several different ways of saying the same thing.本书和市面上众多英语口语书籍的不同之处在于,本书中的对话和语言练习都是以词汇教学法为核心的。词汇教学法是由 Michael Lewis 在20 世纪 90 年代提出的,它突出强调词语搭配、短语和习惯用法在语言中的作用。因为在任何自然文本中,无论是口语还是书面语,由两到四个、甚至五个单词构成的词语搭配、短语和习惯用法都占据了主要部分。尽管存在不同的统计数字,但 【书摘与插画】
