Features: This brand-new vocabulary memory dictionary features a unique approach by reversing the conventional alphabetical order of words, arranging them instead by the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) order. It also includes an appendix with words sorted by spelling for reference. Additionally, all vocabulary entries are accompanied by audio cassettes. Readers can follow along with the recordings to memorize words through rhythmic pronunciation practice, correct their accents, and look up unfamiliar words by sound or spellings while reading. The synonyms, simple explanations with examples, antonyms, and derived words provided in the dictionary are all valuable resources for exam preparation. Moreover, specific examples are used after each usage to further assist readers in learning vocabulary. It is hoped that this teaching practice-derived tool can return to teaching practice to serve its purpose, helping students comprehensively improve their English proficiency and successfully pass the CET-4 and CET-6 exams. (This dictionary includes 1 CD and 4 audio cassettes)
This dictionary is based on the vocabulary required for CET-4, as specified in the "College English Teaching Syllabus" (Undergraduate Version) released in July 1999. It includes all 4,300 words necessary to achieve CET-4 proficiency, along with common word groups derived from these words (including those learned in high school). The dictionary's key feature is its emphasis on listening and reading to master vocabulary through audio memory. Entries include the usage and examples required by the syllabus, as well as synonyms, antonyms, and derived words.
