Features: Learn English through Reverse Methodology, with Answers Inside This Book. At the age of 45, Professor Zhong Daolong started learning spoken English through slow-speed English and became a translator within a year. He summarized the Reverse Method for English Learning. The Reverse Method advocates the simultaneous use of five methods: "Listening, Writing, Speaking, Memorizing, and Thinking," employing ears, eyes, mouth, hands, and brain to comprehensively improve "Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing" skills. Overall, it is a time-saving and efficient learning method suitable for people of all levels. Many high school and university students have achieved great success by applying the Reverse Method to their coursework. What is the root cause of repeated failures in learning English? Professor Zhong attributes it to three reasons. First, the foundation is not solid. Research by linguists has shown that 90% of speeches use only 2,000 to 3,000 words. As long as you can master and speak these words fluently, you will naturally be able to communicate well in a new language. Over the past decade, Professor Zhong has used the Reverse Method to tutor people of various levels in learning English, from kindergarteners to graduate students, all with excellent results. The English learning situation at the Communications Engineering College of the People's Liberation Army was originally poor, but after students followed the "Reverse Method," their CET-4 pass rate reached 100% within three years, ranking first nationwide.
At the age of 45, Professor Zhong taught himself English and, within just one year, progressed from "not understanding or being able to speak" to becoming a translator, summarizing the Reverse Method for English Learning. Over the past decade, he has guided people of different levels in using the Reverse Method to learn English, all with success. This book is a summary of the author's experience in self-learning and tutoring others.
