本书是根据教育部颁发的《中等职业技术学校英语教学大纲》的基本要求，结合中等职业技术教育课程整体改革方案的要求编写的。 本书共20个单元，涉及娱乐、天气、健康、方位、旅游、求职、交通、环保、节能、电视、计算机、运动等方面。每单元围绕一个话题展开学习。每个单元由Listening and Speaking，Reading Comprehension，Grammar and Exercises，Reading and Writing 4部分组成。针对每一部分配有适量的强化训练，并且在每5个单元之后设一个复习单元。本书配有CDROM,内含听说部分的听力内容、课文译文和习题答案等。 本书适用于100学时左右的教学。既可作为中等职业学校两年制或三年制基础英语教材，也可作为一定英语基础的读者做自学辅导教材。

前言 本书是根据教育部颁发的《中等职业技术学校英语教学大纲》的基本要求，结合我们多年的教学实践经验编写成的。其宗旨是以就业为导向，强调够用、实用。本书的编写特点如下： （1）强调够用。本书在现有中职英语教材的基础上降低了难度，每单元生词量控制在20个以内，分解到听说部分（5个左右）和阅读部分（15个左右）；语法部分强调初中语法的复习、梳理，适量增加中职语法内容，并且以表格、条目的形式加以归纳，弱化纯语法的讲解。 （2）突出实用。本书采用“以话题为主线”的结构组织、编排教学内容，每单元围绕一个话题展开听、说、读、写。所涉及的话题既有源于学生非常熟悉的课内外生活的方方面面，又有学生将要面临的不同类别岗位工作的点点滴滴。可供不同专业类学生有目的地、选择性地组合学习，为后继专业课程的学习培养认知及兴趣。 （3）加强运用。每个单元的听说部分都是一个场景的对话，同时罗列出该场景下不同情况的多种应答方式，以帮助学生灵活运用，并且口语练习轻格式、重流畅；写作部分列举了常见应用文范文、格式、要点，并给以练习。整体达到口头、笔头并重的目的。 （4）紧跟时代。本书中所涉及的生活方式、生活用品、生产设备等均源于现代社会生活及生产前沿，让学生感觉英语就在身边。 本书配有CDROM，内含听说部分的听力内容、课文译文和习题答案等。 本书由湖北襄樊机电工程学校孙莉、但汉铃主编，孙莉统稿。参加编写的还有：湖北襄樊机电工程学校黄琳、路军，河南机电学校袁牧，山东城市建设职业技术学院常玲、石菲菲，北京市供销学校李继明。机械工业出版社许小群老师对本书进行了详细的审阅，在此表示衷心的感谢。 由于编者水平有限，书中难免有不妥和疏漏之处，望广大师生批评指正。 编者
