Features: The book's features: Learning English vocabulary can be divided into the following stages in terms of memorization. Stage 1: 0-1500 words. This includes 1500 basic vocabulary words, prefixes, suffixes, and word roots, which can be memorized through storytelling. Stage 2: 1500-6000 words. This includes vocabulary for CET-4/CET-6, postgraduate entrance exams, and other common words, which can be memorized through associative memory of word forms. Stage 3: 6000-10000 words. This includes TOEFL, IELTS, and other exam vocabulary, as well as more difficult words, which can be memorized through associative memory of words. Stage 4: Over 10000 words. This mainly involves GRE vocabulary, where mastery of application is not required, only recognition. It is necessary to memorize these words through various strange methods. The book actually discusses how to remember words accurately and effectively in the fourth stage of memorization. For Chinese students preparing for the GRE, vocabulary has always been the biggest hurdle. Although many similar books are available, they are merely a list of words and definitions, with most merely adding a few example sentences to fill space. Such so-called vocabulary books cannot inspire people's desire to learn English. The Un—GRE2003 completely rejects traditional and conventional methods of memorizing words. It does not start from Chinese explanations and example sentences of words but instead associates the word's form and pronunciation with its Chinese meaning, making many words that seemed almost impossible to remember become effortless.
