简单地道学英语：生活工作大小事口语全搞定试读：
序言
英语学习三部曲：模仿老外——自然表达——理解共识
在英语学习的过程中，我们往往习惯于从单词和语法去着手，当然这本无可厚非，因为每门语言都有自己的规则和标准，正所谓“没有规矩不成方圆”。然而在应试教育向素质教育转变、全球一体化的今天，语言交流能力和实际应用能力，其重要性日益凸显。任何一门语言都存在着思维的差异性，而这恰恰是人际交往的重要理解元素。对母语以外的语言，理解的多少，在某种程度上，就决定着能掌握多少，对彼此的认知度也就有多少。于英语而言，亦是如此。
要学好英语模仿练习是必经的一个过程。而这一过程持续长短则因个人的英语语感而异。在模仿的过程中，也是自身语感慢慢形成的关键时期，口语可以刺激耳朵和身体神经，在时机成熟后，你就会不自觉地说出自己想要表达的内容，无论是简单句，还是复合句，亦或是俚语，又或者是复杂句，总之，你有了自己的表达雏形，加以修炼，达到与老外的零距离沟通目标就不会远了。这一完整的过程简单概括起来就是：模仿老外——自然表达——理解共识，进而达到无障碍的沟通与交流。
本书在语言结构上，单词注有最新国际音标，便于练习发音，规范口语，听得对，自然也会说得准；对有特色的语言备有小贴士，一一解答那些热门的知识要点；会话中，英语原文中有零星中文解释穿插其中，能一目了然，在视觉冲击上加强记忆；句子结构风格以简洁实用为主，旨在能够多元化地派上用场；另附有优质小短文，亦或励志、亦或温情、亦或哲理、亦或文化、亦或习俗、亦或幽默……不一而足，只为丰富你的英语学习，愉快享受每一个为英语而努力的时刻。
本书的语言内容，均来自英美本土的地道口语，无论是街头巷尾，还是邻里社区；无论是工作场合，还是商务应酬……在这里，纯粹的外国语言体验，都是从最基本的词汇系统入手，以求让你真实感受鲜活的语言气息，从现场语境到万用句子再到微型“悦”读，开启一场英语学习的收获之旅。
在自由的环境里，学习语言才能富有成效。不勉强自己去学，不逼迫自己去学，发自内心去喜欢，兴趣才会越来越浓。祝福热爱英语，充实生活，追逐梦想，乐于奋斗的每个人，都能各得其所，如愿以偿。编者乐之声外语 Chapter 1 Polite Etiquette 客套礼节Unit 1 Nice Greetings 美好问候Talk Show 实景会话Talk 1 会话一：Meet by Chance 偶然遇见

When you try something difficult, you feel capable and confident, and as a result, you also feel more satisfied and upbeat about life in general.Spend time doing things you're good at, and speak highly of yourself（in your heart）for doing well.This part is important, because we all remember to beat up on ourselves for failing but forget to take a moment to thank ourselves for doing well.Next, try things you're not so good at, and congratulate yourself for dealing with difficult problems.
当你努力去克服困难时，你感觉到能力不凡且胸有成竹，结果总的来说，你也会对生活感到满意和乐观。花时间做一些你拿手的事情，在内心称赞自己的出色表现。这一部分是很重要的，因为我们总是记得因为失败而责备自己，却不曾想起拨出一点时间来感谢自己。下一次，尝试一些你不拿手的事情，并且庆贺自己解决了难题。单词过关
