英语演讲艺术(第3版)

本书语言浅显易懂，深入浅出，理论紧密联系实践，而且图文并茂，例证生动。本书还有很多方便教学者和学习者的人性化的地方，比如：对重难点生词提供汉语注释，提供配套的视频、音频光盘，每章后提供“一分钟演讲”的训练话题，还有作者自选自译、很好实用且针对性强的名人名言集，等等。作者的辛劳勤恳及良苦用心，可见一斑

本书摒弃了靠前传统教材例证和演讲材料过于严肃正式、过于冗长、用词生僻、难度过大、枯燥沉闷的缺点，以大量的影视英语演讲视频和文字材料作为例证，贯穿全书。每章后还为课堂内外提供了“一分钟演讲”训练话题，都是近年来靠前热点话题和大型演讲比赛的题目。本书可供英语专业和非英语专业学生作为教材使用，也是英语爱好者享受英语文化的精神食粮和练习听力、口语的良师益友。
