One of the most challenging aspects of English learning for learners is vocabulary memorization. A limited vocabulary cannot meet the needs of language learning, and expanding vocabulary requires strengthening memory. Many people start with high enthusiasm but give up after a period of time, primarily because they encounter the difficulty of vocabulary memorization. With the promulgation of the Ministry of Education's "Junior High School English Curriculum Standards," the vocabulary requirements for English teaching have increased from 800 to 1,600—nearly doubling. Moreover, the previous regulations required pronunciation, part of speech, meaning, and common collocations, while now only pronunciation and part of speech are provided, leaving meaning and common collocations to be determined by teachers and learners based on the curriculum standards' requirements for language proficiency, as well as their own interests and learning characteristics. To adapt to the new teaching requirements and improve English proficiency, solving the vocabulary problem is paramount. "New Curriculum Standard Middle School English Dictionary" (English-Chinese Dictionary) meets the requirements of the new "Junior High School English Curriculum Standards." Authored by experienced English education researchers and core teaching staff who have strong research capabilities, the book carefully selects the meanings and common collocations of each entry after thoroughly studying the standards, comparing current junior high school textbooks, and analyzing the current status and future trends of the junior high school exams. It aims to achieve novelty in form and content, strong targeting and applicability, and high accuracy. This book makes vocabulary memorization no longer difficult, clearing obstacles for English learning.
