英语口语真是让人花足了力气，却又伤透了脑筋！
那么我们到底应该怎么学呢？既然必须要学，就要聪明地学，要用最有效、最省时省力、最优化的方法去学。若继续用传统的方法去学，只能是事倍功半，甚至会是雪上加霜。
其实最好的方法就是最贴近自然的方法，也就是要尽可能地融入真实的交际情景，在实践中学，才是获得知识的最佳方法。
本书主编根据被英语教学界普遍认可的结构·情景·交际学习法，组织全球四地作者结合他们的实际生活经验，提炼出了口语中使用频率最高的提纲挈领的900个基本句型结构，并根据真实情景和语言的交际功能进行编排整理，为大家献上了这本真正的《英语口语900句》。相信这本多人辛勤劳动的结晶定能为大家的英语口语学习之旅打通一条高速公路！《英语口语900句》涵盖的内容包括：
★17类生活工作场景——覆盖口语交流的方方面面；
★900个高频句型结构——轻松引领15500个口语句子；
★237篇精选情景对话，36幅情景配图——再现交流场景；
★近4000个口语交际知识点，40个文化背景——夯实口语基础。《英语口语900句》内容的独特之处：
★简 用最简单的字，教你说看似很难的英语
walk“走路”，人人都会；“遛狗”原来就是 walk a dog
★易 用最实用的字，教你说最Easy的英语
shampoo“洗发精”; “洗头”就说 have a shampoo
★新 用最新鲜地道的字，教你说没有中国味的英语
text“课文”; “给我发短信”竟然是 text me
★快 用最少的字，教你说最畅快的英语
thank“感谢”; “千恩万谢”只需说 thanks a million昂秀特别强调❶ 全书彩色印刷，跳脱语言书严肃的黑白模式，读英文书也能赏心悦目。彩色印刷能让中英文内容重点突出，学习起来有的放矢，更易掌握学习重点，同时提高学习效率，不容易产生心理疲劳感。❷ 随书配备中英文对照朗读光盘（MP3光盘、磁带、CD光盘）特别邀请英美等国资深外教和汉语老师为每个句子进行中英文对照朗读配音。只要戴上耳机，用耳朵也能学好英语。昂秀坚决抵制没有声音的英语学习书，因为“哑巴书”是中国人目前英语不太好（或根本就不好）的主要原因之一。请一定深刻模仿外国老师的语音语调。一回生，二回熟，来来回回几遍，这些声音就会在你的脑海里时时响起，遇到适当的口语交流情境时，定会令你滔滔不绝，此外发音也会变得标准地道。深刻模仿，成功英语口语属于你！Part 1衣01 买服装01.01Buy Clothes精选基本句

句型“lt is the high time for…”表示“正是…的时候，是该…的时候”，有很强的强调语气。口语交流小贴士众所周知，如今购物已不像从前一样需要携带大量现金，薄薄的一张卡片或支票就可以让你购遍全世界。在西方国家，“旅行支票”（traveler's check或travelers' check）非常流行，这种支票是一种在一个银行或旅游公司的各分支机构购买的、在世界各地均可兑现的支票，只有通过购买者的批准和他（她）在支票上的签名才有效。与此相关的常用口语是以下两句：“Do you take traveler's check? ”或 “Can l pay by traveler's check? ”，意思是“你们收旅行支票吗？”或“我能用旅行支票付款吗？”。02 买鞋袜01.02Buy Footgear精选基本句

在“l'll take them.”中，“take”意为“买”。在英美人的日常口语中，若要表示“我就买这个了”，很少用“buy”，多用“take”。此外，在购物时还经常会听到一句与“take”相关的话：“Take it or leave it.”意思是“要买就买，不买拉倒”，通常是卖家向买家下的最后通牒。摘自《9小时快学国际音标》Part 2食01 居家饮食02.01Eat at Home精选基本句

文中“You're all set.”的意思是“您的一切都办好了。”口语交流小贴士当你打算离开旅馆时，可以请服务生在预订的时间到房间来搬行李，这叫“baggage collection”。只要在结账前一天向领班（bell captain）预约就可以了，也可以让他们为你预约计程车。离开当天，拿着钥匙到前台办理结账手续（check out），此时你可以说：“l'd like to check out．我要结账退房。” 此外还有一点需要注意的就是要在入住时就问清楚这家饭店规定的结账时间（离开旅馆的最后时限）:“When is the checkout? ” 否则如果过了这个钟点再结账，就等于你又住了一天，要多支付一天的住宿费用。摘自《9小时快学国际音标》
