Features: Compared to similar coaching books, this book has the following characteristics:
1. Selective categorization, targeted approach. Based on years of teaching experience, the best way to memorize words is: after receiving the vocabulary list, first review all the words and highlight the key and difficult ones. These words generally have a high frequency in exams and require multi-angle focused memorization. The familiar words should be handled generally, that is, to master the key words first and then review the basic vocabulary. According to this principle, combined with the requirements of the latest teaching syllabus, this book includes all the frequently tested and difficult words in the new syllabus, providing multi-angle focused explanations for each word; while the more basic and well-known words only provide key definitions and common collocations, which are listed at the end of the book for readers to memorize quickly; some simple words learned in junior high school are no longer included. This avoids the flaw of general vocabulary coaching books that provide general explanations for all words without highlighting the key points.
2. High-frequency vocabulary, focused analysis. This book provides detailed analysis and interpretation of vocabulary from multiple angles to help readers firmly grasp the words. Each entry generally contains the following content: [Definition] First, the key Chinese definition is given immediately after the entry. [Word Formation] An analysis of the word formation is provided, that is, the roots, prefixes, suffixes, and even etymology of most words are analyzed, so that readers can not only remember the words but also expand their vocabulary by analogy and easily guess the meaning using the learned word formation. [Collocations] In this section, the book avoids the usual method of using sentences as examples and instead uses concise and effective common collocation phrases or short phrases to illustrate the different parts of speech and meanings of the word, which reflects the usage, saves the reader's time, and is convenient to remember. [Differences] This book summarizes synonyms or near-synonyms from the syllabus vocabulary list under the first entry that appears, explains their similarities in general meaning and differences in individual meanings and usage in Chinese, and provides English examples; [Real Exam Questions] In the real exam questions section, most of the questions from the CET-4 and CET-6 exams since 1989 that have tested the vocabulary of this level are selected, so that candidates can grasp the question-setting methods and patterns of the corresponding vocabulary.
