Features: Led by Hu Min, the Principal of Beijing New Oriental School – "Hu IELTS" – and a team of foreign IELTS experts, the test development group has dedicated years of research. In the pre-Spring Festival of 2002, they presented a valuable gift to IELTS candidates! The book includes five simulation tests with an 80% accuracy rate, offering highly targeted and instructive study material for IELTS candidates. High-quality exercises and excellent production quality are your strong guarantee for achieving outstanding results! Since its initial publication in early 2000, this book has been reprinted multiple times and has sold hundreds of thousands of copies, widely welcomed by IELTS candidates. The newly released IELTS Vocabulary Selection is based on the original IELTS Vocabulary, fully incorporating recent research findings over the past few years, making it more timely and authoritative, with a more comprehensive word selection and more precise definitions. Vocabulary is the foundation of language learning, just as bricks are to a building. Standardized tests that assess students' English abilities, whether directly or indirectly, all test candidates' mastery of vocabulary. Some tests, such as China's College English Test Band 4 and 6, are based on teaching syllabi, and candidates can memorize words according to the General Vocabulary List for College English Teaching Syllabus; while the U.S.'s TOEFL and GRE exams are based on language proficiency theory, with more direct vocabulary-related questions, and various vocabulary guides have been published. In contrast, the IELTS exam tests candidates' language communication skills, with no dedicated vocabulary questions on the test paper. Vocabulary is more integrated throughout the entire exam. Without a solid vocabulary foundation, both listening, speaking, reading, and writing will face significant difficulties. This vocabulary manual follows the principle of excluding basic words and phrases typically mastered in middle school, while including all words and phrases for the College English Test Band 4 and 6.
