This book is written for those who have repeatedly failed in intermediate and advanced English exams, yet keep trying, and those who aim to change their fate through English. Currently, the pass rate for postgraduate entrance exam English is only 1/4 to 1/5, and the CET-4 pass rate has dropped from 30-40% to 20-30%, fully exposing the fundamental issue of weak English foundation among students. Relying on exercises to build English foundation is not a wise approach! Exams are like rulers, designed to measure proficiency rather than improve it. The only way to improve English proficiency is to thoroughly understand the texts, to "gnaw" through them to build solid English skills. For College English Book 4, even if not everything is fully understood, as long as five lessons are truly grasped, CET-4 should generally not be a problem. When using this book, pay attention to thoroughly analyzing the text from both grammatical and semantic (translation) perspectives.
Importance of grammar in Chinese students' English learning. Currently, many people studying English neglect grammar, but grammar is actually a shortcut for foreigners learning English, especially considering the realities of Chinese students learning English. Second, the importance of translation in Chinese students' English learning. Many students are currently at the level of "just fragments of understanding" when it comes to comprehending the text.
