Features: After summarizing and providing translation techniques for difficult sentences in the exam, the book begins from the second part, comprehensively breaking down long and complex sentences in terms of syntax, vocabulary, and comprehension and application. Vocabulary and grammar (morphology and vocabulary) are the two fundamental points for understanding difficult sentences. This book highlights these two major features: strengthening grammar and strengthening vocabulary. Each sentence is analyzed from three levels.
Structure Analysis: Through precise explanations supplemented by charts, it helps candidates clarify the sentence structure, analyze the hierarchical organization, and make the content clear at a glance.
Determining Word Meaning: Selecting core vocabulary, it concisely explains the deeper meanings of words in different contexts.
Translation Expression: Based on clarifying the sentence structure and determining the meaning of key words, it converts the information conveyed by complex English sentences into appropriate Chinese.
In fact, the basic grammar of English is largely learned in high school, and some additional grammar is supplemented in college. However, many students in university do not pay enough attention to grammar learning, especially in mastering special grammatical phenomena such as ellipsis, separation, comparison, and negation. This book divides common difficult sentences into 10 topics, systematically organizing and summarizing sentences of different types, aiming to help candidates systematically review basic grammar knowledge and summarize special grammatical phenomena.
In addition to strengthening grammar and strengthening vocabulary, another major feature of this book is its emphasis on practice. The purpose of conquering difficult sentences is to improve reading comprehension skills. Therefore, the book selects typical test questions from the English reading comprehension sections of the past CET-4, CET-6, and postgraduate entrance exams for candidates to self-test. The answer and explanation section includes structure analysis and translation expression.
The structure analysis charts in this book are unique, with layered dissection that simplifies the complex and stands out among dazzling study materials. It is like a navigation guide, helping you study efficiently, generalize from examples, achieve twice the result with half the effort, and thus handle the exam with ease!
