It includes all Level 4 vocabulary from the General Vocabulary List of the "Teaching Syllabus for English Majors in Higher Education," totaling approximately 8,630 words. The key feature of this manual lies in its emphasis on "practice," which means it not only provides conventional content such as pronunciation, part of speech, and example sentences but also focuses on dedicated sections for practice, such as collocations, idioms, usage, differentiation, derivatives, and compound words. This way, when you consult this manual, you can immediately find definitions and usage, and by exploring other sections, you can deepen your understanding of the vocabulary, using it more accurately and appropriately. The "Usage" section is the highlight of this manual, offering detailed explanations of the deeper meanings of entries, their scope of use, common words they collocate with, whether they are typically used in singular or plural forms, articles, tenses, common sentence patterns, comparative forms, and subject-verb agreement. Once you grasp these details, you will have a comprehensive understanding. The manual is rich in content, concise in explanation, and features natural and authentic example sentences, with a clear layout. It is not only suitable for students' daily study and intensive review before exams but also serves as an essential reference tool for other English learners.
