本书按主题编写, 共10个单元。每一单元包含两大部分。第一部分为引入部分, 由听写 (Dictation)、主题讨论 (Discussion) 和视频观看 (Video Watching) 构成。其中听写部分按循序渐进的原则, 从短句听写, 到长句听写, 逐渐过渡到短文听写。视频部分为学生提供了相关文化背景和词汇表等信息, 配有选择题和简答题两种听力题型, 用以检测学生对视频材料主旨和细节的把握。此外, 学生还需完成和视频主题相关的写作任务。本书第二部分为听力实践部分。此部分包括短对话 (Short Conversations)、长对话 (Long Conversations)、新闻报道 (News Reports) 和学术演讲 (Lecture Listening)。
