新概念英语作为一种英语教材，不得不说，新概念英语还是有自己的特色和优势，今天小编就来和大家一起谈谈新概念英语2适合什么样英语基础的孩子的学习。
这本教材一共有96篇文章，分为四个单元，文章的长度也随着学习的深度不断增加：单元的文章长度大约是100词，到第四单元则增加到约180词。新概念2的一大特点是文章写得非常有趣，带有一点英式冷幽默的味道，比如第28课No parking里面主人公由于车位长期被占，尝试了常规办法无效后只能放一个美杜莎石像在车库门口，希望能将违规停车的人变成石头。有些文章还能在现实生活中找到影子。比如第25课Do the English speak English?讲了这样一个故事：主人公初到英国，发现自己听不懂搬运工讲的英语，因为这种英语跟老师教的不一样，但是英国人之间是能够互相听懂的。去过英国的同学对这篇文章应该会有切身体会，因为英国人日常讲的英语跟教材里的英语的确有一些区别，需要花费一段时间才能适应。
教材的另一个特点是每一篇文章都经过特别设计，会涵盖某一类具体知识点，比如完成时态、将来时态、情态动词以及虚拟语气等等，并且对于次出现的知识点，后面的文章会多次复现，帮助学生巩固。学生学完96篇文章后能够建立起一个基本的语法框架，对英语的常见句型也会有一个系统的认识。比如第4课主要知识点是完成时态，课文中出现了很多相关的句子：
I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim. He is in Australia. He has been there for six months. Tim is an engineer. He is working for a big firm and he has already visited a great number of different places in Australia. He has just bought an Australian car and has gone to Alice Springs…
通过学习这些句子，我们能够对完成时态的用法有基本的了解。
又比如第40课Food and talk涉及到了一个知识点：使用将来进行时来让语气更加委婉。课文中男主人公和陌生女人在餐桌上有这样的对话：
'A new play is coming to "The Globe" soon,' I said. 'Will you be seeing it?'
'No,' she answered.
'Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year?' I asked.
'No,' she answered.
'Will you be staying in England?' I asked.
'No,' she answered.
In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.
'Young man,' she answered, 'if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy your dinner!'
男人公用将来进行时will you be doing…而不是will you do…来引导问句，由此来表示礼貌。
教材对于新概念2文章给出了一种很有效的学习方法：摘要写作（summary writing）。
摘要写作可以提升我们发现一篇文章的要点以及把这些要点组织起来的能力。进行摘要写作之前我们要先读懂文章并归纳其中的要点，然后通过一定的逻辑关系将它们连接成文。新概念2的每篇课文后面都有摘要写作题目，还给出了问题，帮助学生寻找要点。
比如这是课的课后问题：
我们可以做出这样的回答：
(1) The writer went to the theatre last week.
(2) He didn’t enjoy the play.
(3) A young couple were sitting behind him.
(4) They were talking loudly.
(5) The writer couldn’t hear the actors.
(6) He turned round.
(7) He said, ‘I can’t hear a word!’
(8) The young man said, ‘This is a private conversation.’
接下来我们要使用连词将这些要点连接起来，在这个过程中还要对信息进行整合，并且注意总词数不能超过55个单词。最终可以得到这样的摘要：
The writer went to the theatre last week, but he didn’t enjoy the play, because a young couple sitting behind him were talking loudly, making him unable to hear the actors. He turned round angrily and told them he couldn’t hear a word, but the young man said it was a private conversation. (53 words)
