“小词”的作用并不小。地道的英语口语能力尤其以小词的运用能力见高低。只有善于运用小词，也就是说能够使用貌似简单、但含义丰富的词语或词组搭配，才能真正做到表述清晰到位。

本书选材多样，编排生动活泼，旨在通过大量例句、文章和对话提高读者英语口语的实际运用能力。此外，每个单元还围绕核心“小词”设计了相应的练习，并提供了核心文章的译文。

本书适合已具有中高级英语水平，想超越英语学习和使用的基本层面，实现英语运用自如、表述清晰到位的读者使用。具体包括：经常与外国人士或公司打交道的人士、外企员工、英语专业学生、希望从事口译的学生或口译工作者、英语教师、希望出国留学或工作的人士以及任何已经能进行英语会话但仍想进一步提高英语表达能力的人。

《基础篇》和《进阶篇》在难易程度上有些递增，但涵盖的“小词”有所不同。因此，读者可以先选择前者或同时选择二者进行学习。
