Features: The CET training sessions at this center are always fully booked, with a significant number of students and working professionals unable to secure a spot. Every time I witness this situation, I sincerely hope that every student gets a chance, but seating is indeed limited. This led me to the idea of presenting all the teaching content in written form, which became the driving force behind writing this book. From September 13 to 15, 2002, at the International Conference on Language Teaching and Testing held at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, I became even more aware of the positive impact of language testing on language teaching. This awareness, combined with my sense of responsibility toward students, accelerated the writing process of this book.
Distinctive Features:
1. The material in this book is primarily derived from the firsthand teaching experience of the CET main lecturer at the Foreign Language Training Center of East China Normal University. The design of the book is intended to help students absorb knowledge as if they were sitting in a classroom, making it easy to digest.
2. The language in the book is humorous and vivid, making learning enjoyable.
3. The book incorporates the application of test-taking techniques from ETS exams (such as TOEFL and GRE) in the CET, offering in-depth analysis and unique insights.
4. The detailed solutions to new questions from 2000, 2001, and 2002 provide students with immersive practice.
5. The purpose of this book is not only to help students pass the CET smoothly but also to enable them to master the methods of English learning through studying it, laying a foundation for future exams like the CET-6, TOEFL, and IELTS, and ultimately truly mastering English as a tool.
This book is based on the author's comprehensive experience in teaching CET at the Foreign Language Training Center of East China Normal University. It uses up-to-date material and humorous, vivid language. The book integrates ETS test-taking techniques (such as TOEFL and GRE) into the CET, offering in-depth analysis and unique insights, making it suitable as a CET-4 training textbook. Additionally, the detailed solutions to the CET questions from 2000, 2001, and 2002 further enhance students' practical practice.
