Vocabulary in context, multi-pronged approach
This book is divided into 30 units, each consisting of vocabulary, example sentences, passages, and classic exam questions. Each unit begins with a vocabulary section. These words are provided with phonetic transcriptions, Chinese-English annotations, collocations, and example sentences to help students overcome the "barrier" of "unknown words." Then, the usage of words is presented in different contexts, and all example sentences are sourced from the textbook of New English Course (Volumes 1–4) and past professional English proficiency exam papers, ensuring the context is authoritative. Students not only review the lessons but also understand the exam content, achieving "kill two birds with one stone"!
Aligned with exam questions, contemporary texts as armor
Language is alive, and vocabulary, grammar, and structure can only reflect their meaning and style within the context of a passage. Only with strong reading skills can you grasp the life of language and use it flexibly! The 60 passages selected in this book are from past professional English Level 4 exam papers and are accompanied by accurate Chinese translations and English-Chinese comparisons to reinforce learning and transform "dead" vocabulary into living language. Like a shield, it builds a strong barrier for your vocabulary learning!
Native-speaker narration, improving listening and speaking
Psychologists point out that the coordinated activity of multiple senses is one of the key conditions for improving memory effectiveness. In human memory, 25% comes from vision, 15% from hearing, and combining the two achieves 65% of the effect. English is a spoken language, and listening accounts for a significant portion of the information acquired in English learning. We have carefully provided native-speaker recordings for this book, allowing students to learn words while listening, which not only greatly improves listening and speaking skills but also helps them remember words subconsciously, speak words effortlessly, achieving twice the result with half the effort.
Practice with exam questions, deepening memory
After mastering the listening, speaking, reading, and writing of vocabulary, how can you ensure you fully understand the true meaning of the words? Don’t worry! After each unit, we have carefully arranged 20 practice questions specifically targeting the vocabulary just learned, with detailed explanations for each question.
Integrating vocabulary, reading, listening, and writing
This book breaks the traditional concept of vocabulary books as mere memorization tools, integrating vocabulary, passages, and pronunciation. Words are learned through reading, in context, and while listening. It highlights a three-dimensional approach, scientifically combining various effective methods, marking a major innovation in vocabulary books! This book can not only be used as a vocabulary book but also as a listening, reading, and writing book, effortlessly improving your English skills. We sincerely hope this book can bring a glimmer of hope to students struggling in the jungle of English learning. English learning is a long and arduous journey, and only those who are not afraid of difficulties can reach the summit and see the big picture!
