American daily English notes (enlarged edition): A review

Life English is the most pragmatic kind of English when one wants to associate with foreigner friends. There are some books that have explored this research area [4] [8] [7]. However, the books [4] [8] [6] lack the real world experience with foreigners; there are some ways and expressions that these books recommend to use but the real Americans will not use these expressions, even cannot understand some of expressions from these books [7]. The book [7] satisfactorily addressed this problem by using the first hand experiences, sentences, real conversations and even the real stories. Thus, Kunlin’s book [7] has strong readability (to be specific, it is intriguing) and practicability. However, the book [7] is written primarily in Chinese, so it is inconvenient for not-Chinese-native-speakers to read, to learn and to enjoy. Besides, some categories and organizations are not that comprehensive enough, which leads to occasional failures for looking up a specific expression. These two reasons inspired the author to write a new note on my blog. Also, Kunlin’s philosophy to note down the fresh expressions learned from a day with foreign friends is very smart and is worth my while to mimic this method [7]. Xiaolai Li [6] recommended using English preferably in our daily life, which is the reason why I chose to write this note in English. In addition, some expressions are learned from [1] Zirui Wang’s TOEFL lessons and other teachers’ lessons I attended. And some are from TOEFL real test materials [2].

美国日常英语笔记（放大版）：评论

19年7月12日

当人们想要与外国朋友交往时，生活英语是最实用的英语。有一些书籍已经探索过这个研究领域[4] [8] [7]。然而，书籍[4] [8] [6]缺乏与外国人的真实世界经验;这些书推荐使用一些方法和表达，但真正的美国人不会使用这些表达，甚至无法理解这些书中的一些表达[7]。这本书[7]通过使用第一手经验，句子，真实对话甚至真实故事，令人满意地解决了这个问题。因此，Kunlin的书[7]具有很强的可读性（具体而言，它很有趣）和实用性。然而，这本书[7]主要用中文写成，因此非中国本土的人阅读，学习和享受是不方便的。此外，一些类别和组织不够全面，这导致偶尔查找特定表达式的失败。这两个原因激发了作者在我的博客上写了一个新的笔记。此外，昆林的哲学记录了与外国朋友在一天中学到的新鲜表情非常聪明，值得我模仿这种方法[7]。李小莉[6]建议在我们的日常生活中使用英语，这就是我选择用英语写这个笔记的原因。此外，一些表达方式是从[1] Zirui Wang的托福课程和我参加过的其他教师课程中学到的。还有一些来自托福真实的考试材料[2]。
