Li Funing, Vice President of the China Foreign Language Teaching and Research Association and Former Director of the English Department and Deputy Academic Dean of Peking University, said: "This is a very useful reference book and will be well-received by readers. It explains some difficulties in English (such as the order in syntax, the usage of structural words like prepositions, articles, modal verbs, and the emotional connotations of idioms) accurately, comprehensively, clearly, and distinctly."
Bo Bing, Author of "Advanced English Grammar" and a Famous Professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, said: "This book stands out among English books published in China for its numerous entries, rich content, detailed materials, innovative and unique explanations. The author's explanations are logical, well-founded, and easy to understand, making it a rare and excellent reference book."
Hu Wenzhong, Chairman of the Foreign Language Teaching Guidance Committee of National Universities and Former Vice President of Beijing Foreign Studies University, said: "I can confidently say that this is a dictionary that has been carefully compiled through accumulation and research, reflecting the compilers' high level of English proficiency. I have not seen a dictionary that covers such a broad scope and delves into problems with such detail and clarity. The issues in this dictionary are targeted and address common difficulties encountered in various exams and by learners. Many of the questions are frequently asked in classrooms by teachers, and some are common pitfalls for students learning English."

This book is the most up-to-date, comprehensive, and detailed English problem-solving dictionary published in China to date. It includes 6,000 common problem answers and over 40,000 example sentences (all selected from English originals and authentic English tests). It covers all grammatical phenomena and frequently used and tested vocabulary from middle and high school English textbooks to graduate-level English materials, from college entrance exams, CET-4 and CET-6 to postgraduate entrance exams and TOEFL. Therefore, it is a highly practical reference book for a broad readership, including middle school students, college students, graduate students, English teachers, translators, scientific and technical personnel, and self-study learners of English.
This book draws on the latest research achievements in English studies both domestically and internationally (especially internationally) to provide in-depth and easy-to-understand answers to the many practical difficulties Chinese learners of English face. It offers both breadth and depth. Many of the issues discussed have not yet been addressed or resolved in China's English academic field to date. The explanations of these issues hold significant academic value.
Target Audience: Middle school students, college students, graduate students, English teachers, translators, scientific and technical personnel, and self-study learners of English
