ShawnHolley：34岁，自由 作家，出生于美国犹他州，虔 诚的基督教徒。曾与夫人玛丽莲 －起受聘在日本任教，其间， 他发现许多日本学生知道相当 多的英语单词（有些甚至是美 国人都不知道的），而英语表 达能力却又相当有限，这使他 对英语的教学方法产生了疑问。 从此，他利用工作之余写下 了《口语表达》、《美国口语惯 用法例句集粹》、《日常英语 微型短句1660例》等一大批 在日本非常畅销的英语口语书。

INTRODUCTION Millions of foreigners come to America every year on business and vacation. Unfortunately, most of them pay more attention to packing their suitcases than to how they are going to com- municate once they arrive.

Cultural differences can also further complicate communica- tion. Would you be capable of speaking the necessary and ap- propriate English in the following situations? Reporting a car accident having a problcm going through customs describing a sickness to an American doctor staying with an American family reporting a crime to the police making arrangements with a travel agent talking to a telephone operator requesting repair work on a car asking for directions complimenting an American women The ideal solution would be to have a personal traveling com- panion who could always tell you exactly what to say in every situation.
