．深受教師學生推崇的英文教參作家
．資深英文教育家蔡英材最新加作！
．一書讀懂二百條以上實用英語詞句

　　我們常說，英文要從生活中學習，講得多也差不多成了老生常談。
　　老師叫我們多看報紙、多看新聞、多閱讀文章、多聽英文節目和名人演說。
　　那其實即是怎麼學啊？
　　學生乖乖去看了、聽了，卻只有左耳入右耳出，一堆搞不懂的新詞新片語，無從入手也不知如何吸收。

　　日常學習之道，在於抓重點，spot到句子中的核心意思與關鍵字，自然懂得順藤摸瓜。

　　資深英文教育家蔡英材，多年來撰寫了十多本英語教參書籍，本本深受教師、學校歡迎。今次他從過去兩三年的香港時事大事入手，透過報章標題、專欄作家節錄、名人高官語錄等等生活化材料，讓大家學習實用的英語詞彙和例句。全書超過二百條目，內容豐富！
