Good methods for memorizing vocabulary cannot just be rote memorization of words. I believe the best method is to learn through sentences or articles, so you learn it flexibly and remember it more firmly. Therefore, I suggest to my classmates: don’t just memorize new words by themselves. This way of learning may seem more time-consuming, but once you truly master the words, it is actually more cost-effective.
Scientific word selection method: Computer frequency analysis, selecting 60 passages from past exam papers, summarizing 2,000 core words that frequently appear and need to be mastered.
Unique memorization method: Learn vocabulary through phrases, listen to passages to memorize words, memorize passages to learn words, do past exam papers to memorize words—memorize words in context.
High return rate: Not only helps you remember words but also enhances your reading ability, improves your listening skills, and teaches you writing sentence structures. Language is alive, and vocabulary, grammar, and structure can only reflect their connotations, styles, and significance in articles. Only with strong reading ability can you grasp the life of language and use it flexibly!
Based on 30 sets of past exam papers over 15 years, through computer frequency analysis and scientific statistics, we categorize the 4,500 words required by the syllabus according to the exam’s focus, highlighting key areas of emphasis. Meanwhile, the 60 passages selected in this book are all from past exam papers and come with accurate Chinese translations. This consolidates the learning of some vocabulary, transforming dead words into living language. While expanding your vocabulary, students can firmly remember newly learned words through contextual association in expert-level English passages, experiencing their usage. The book also analyzes more challenging sentences in the passages, significantly improving reading ability.
This book breaks the traditional concept of vocabulary learning as mere memorization, integrating vocabulary, words, and listening into one. It teaches you to memorize words through reading and in context, and you can even memorize while listening. This book is a comprehensive review and preparation guide for the CET-4 exam, and it can also serve as a teaching aid for college students, English learners, and intermediate-level English learners to comprehensively improve their English proficiency.
