Features: Reviewing vocabulary is the foundation of English preparation, but rote memorization of words is time-consuming and yields slow results. It is essential to combine practice such as reading and translation to memorize words. It is recommended that you dedicate a concentrated period of time in the early stages of review, such as 2-3 hours daily, for intensive vocabulary memorization. The goal is to gain a general yet comprehensive understanding of the vocabulary and idiomatic expressions outlined in the syllabus. In the mid-stage of preparation, candidates should primarily use reading and translation to reinforce vocabulary. During this phase, pay attention to methods: first complete reading and translation exercises, then look up and record words and phrases that are unclear. Please note that flipping through a vocabulary manual while reading is a terrible review method. The postgraduate English syllabus has clearly listed the required vocabulary: you should master approximately 5,300 English words and about 380 common verb phrases. Among these, 2,500 words require proficiency, meaning you can use them accurately in language communication, writing, or translation; the remaining words require recognition and comprehension in reading. This book includes all the words and phrases in the syllabus and covers all the vocabulary from past exam questions. It is categorized by characteristics: Basic Vocabulary, Basic Vocabulary, CET Vocabulary, Expanded Vocabulary, and Vocabulary, as well as common prefixes, suffixes, and roots, to help candidates quickly overcome the vocabulary barrier and expand their vocabulary.
