以中學生的英文程度為起點，從同義詞出發學好英文！

本書是一個系列，每本以主題劃分，介紹50個常用詞彙，並為讀者搜羅與此相關的10-15個同義詞，提供簡單中英文解說，附以中英對照的例句，讓以英語為第二語言的讀者們可以輕鬆掌握詞彙準確而多變的用法。

舉例說，在這冊《日常動作篇》中，要說解釋，你第一時間想到的是否「Explain」？但其實還可以視乎情況使用account for、justify、illustrate、spell something out等！這樣就能在日常生活中展示你的多元化英語能力！

以每組常用詞為單位，還設有課前小測試及課後練習活動，讓讀者可以知道自己的學習進度，針對改善弱點。

這本書既可以幫助一般讀者改善日常英語的詞彙能力，也是參加規範式考試，包括SAT、ESL、TOFEL及TOEIC的精讀工具！
