Features: Professor Zhong Daolong learned spoken English through self-study at the age of 45 and became a translator within a year, summarizing the "Reverse English Learning Method" ( "Reverse English"). The Reverse Method advocates for a solid approach to learning English and is suitable for people of all levels. Over the past twenty-plus years, Professor Zhong has delivered over 1,000 presentations nationwide. Many have been encouraged by him to use the Reverse Method to learn English and have achieved success. Dozens of media outlets, such as China Central Television, China People's Radio, and China Youth News, have reported on Professor Zhong and the Reverse Method.
One of the most challenging aspects for TOEFL test-takers is memorizing vocabulary. Mastering the must-be-tested words in a short period while understanding their precise meanings is no easy task. This book aims to alleviate the burden of memorizing vocabulary, accelerate the learning process, and improve the quality of memorization. Using roots and affixes as memory units, the must-be-tested words are scientifically categorized and organized, enabling candidates to memorize them quickly and systematically. A separate chapter is dedicated to easily confused words to reinforce learning outcomes.
The book's most distinctive feature is its integration of the "sound," "form," and "meaning" of TOEFL vocabulary, allowing readers to efficiently memorize these words. The Reverse Method is a solid approach to learning English, a scientific system summarized by Professor Zhong Daolong. It advocates starting with pronunciation to memorize vocabulary, employing the five methods of "listening, writing, speaking, memorizing, and thinking" in tandem. This approach not only enhances memory efficiency and breaks through the vocabulary barrier but also helps master pronunciation and improve listening and speaking skills.
While this book can be used independently, using it with audio tapes and applying the Reverse Method will yield even better results.
