Features: This book is compiled based on the new entries, definitions, and phrases from the New Vocabulary List for College English Teaching Program recently issued by the Ministry of Education. It is a unique vocabulary memorization manual. In addition to providing the phonetic symbols and definitions of each entry in the Program, it also offers memory methods and key points for examination for readers. It is illustrated and engaging, making it easy for you to memorize words effortlessly.
Memory Tips: Under the more challenging entries, the author uses his original "Spark Memory Method" to help readers overcome memory difficulties comprehensively:
(1) Using a small number of familiar words to aid in remembering new words in the Program;
(2) Helping to remember multiple meanings of a single word;
(3) Assisting in memorizing verb phrases.
In the key entries of the Program, this book lists corresponding "Key Points," covering aspects such as verb-preposition collocations, subject-verb agreement, adjective placement, sentence structure, and commonly confused synonyms, near-synonyms, and root words. This section highlights the key examination points, allowing you to grasp the essence of the New Program and master the usage of each word with focus, achieving twice the result with half the effort and effortlessly achieving good results. For example, if you want to know why "the aim of doing sth" is incorrect, whether to say "be honest with sb" or "be honest to sb" to be truthful to someone, the differences in meaning between "numerous" modifying singular and plural nouns, whether "recommend" should follow a gerund or an infinitive, the distinctions between "cheat" and "deceive," or how to differentiate between "access," "assess," and "excess," you can find the answers in this book.
Practice Exercises: The questions selected in this section are all carefully chosen based on the words and phrases from the previous units, including genuine questions from past CET-4 and CET-6 exams. This section allows you to memorize while practicing, promote memorization through practice, and test your memory. It not only reduces the burden of memorization and improves efficiency but also helps you master the usage of words through question explanations. Moreover, since most of the questions are selected from authentic exams, the hit rate of key points is high, reducing the randomness of preparation and greatly enhancing your ability to apply English vocabulary in exams and real-life situations.
