本教材分StepⅠ(实用层）、StepⅡ（应用层）、StepⅢ(提高层)三个层次。实用层适合初中英语基础薄弱，需要对初中英语知识进行补充学习的学生；应用层适合具有一定的初中英语基础，但又没有系统完成初中英语学业的学生；提高层适合已完成初中英语学业，英语程度较好的学生，通过提高层的学习可为进一步深造打下良好的基础。三个层次之间属于递进关系，学完前一层次的学生可以选修或自学更高一层次的知识。三个层次中的句型、某些短文虽然有重复，但它们的难度和要求各不相同，分别适用于不同基础的学生。除StepⅠ(实用层）里没有课文（Text)外，各个单元都包括句型（Sentence Patterns）、情景会话(Situational Dialogue)、课文(Text)、知识运用(Knowledge Using)、单词(New Words)五个部分。从不同角度培养学生的英语应用能力。 本教材在附录部分附有汽车专业、机械专业、模具专业、计算机专业、电子电工专业的专业词汇500多个，旨在让这些专业的学生能够对本专业词汇有所了解。 本教材适用于中职各专业学生英语课程的学习，还可供具有初中英语水平的读者自学使用。
