Features: A Revolution in English Vocabulary Learning - Hit Three Birds with One Stone: Open Your Ears, Activate Your Tongue, Strengthen Vocabulary - View Accompanying Audio Cassettes. Seeing English enthusiasts trapped in the daily struggle of laboriously memorizing words, I felt compelled to help them make learning English a (leisurely and enjoyable) experience. Therefore, I envisioned creating a vocabulary handbook that breaks away from traditional methods. Unexpectedly, once I started, it became unstoppable. From junior high to senior high vocabulary, then CET-4 and CET-6, it took nearly two years to complete this series of "Practice Speaking, Memorize Vocabulary" books. This series, dedicated to readers, can be considered an innovation in English vocabulary learning, with the following features:
1. Innovative Concept: Every entry in this series is presented in the form of small dialogues from daily life.
2. Hit Three Birds with One Stone: "Open Your Ears, Activate Your Tongue, Strengthen Vocabulary" are the three goals of "Practice Speaking, Memorize Vocabulary."
- "Open Your Ears" refers to improving listening skills while memorizing words through dictation exercises using the accompanying audio cassettes.
- "Activate Your Tongue" means mimicking the pronunciation and intonation of the dialogues on the audio, allowing you to remember everyday spoken scenarios alongside each word, thereby subtly improving your speaking ability.
- Memorizing words also naturally occurs through dictation and imitation, and with the help of contextual scenarios, you not only retain the words firmly but also master their use in specific contexts.
3. Progressive Step-by-Step Approach: This is a tiered vocabulary series. It includes 1,323 entries for junior high, 1,998 for senior high, 2,473 for CET-4, and 2,368 for CET-6.
4. Original Team: All dialogues in this series are created by language experts from English-speaking countries. English-speaking authors were chosen because they use authentic English and also reflect the cultural characteristics of English in their dialogues. Additionally, all foreign authors have studied Chinese or other foreign languages, giving them firsthand experience with language learning. This ensures that their writing is fresh, authentic, and truly from the learner's perspective.
This book is accompanied by five audio cassettes, with the price to be determined separately.
