Features: This book is entirely written according to the new question types in the latest postgraduate entrance exam English syllabus. The writing section for application letters is now the postgraduate entrance exam English writing A, based on the new syllabus requirements: application letter types include letters, abstracts, memos, reports, and notes. Many types of application writing are entirely new and unfamiliar to postgraduate entrance exam candidates. Especially for abstracts and reports, many candidates without work experience lack a practical understanding. To summarize a few hundred words of an article into a hundred words in an abstract, a deep understanding of the original text is required, identifying which parts are key and must be extracted. Beyond vocabulary knowledge, considerable summarization skills are needed. Reports are the same; in real life, reports come in various forms. How to concisely express the current situation, feasible conditions, requirements, etc., goes beyond English itself. Additionally, Chapter 2, "Exploring the Solution Approach," provides meticulous guidance and an overview of this new question type. Chapter 3, "Classic Sample Question Interpretation," introduces 40 reading passages covering topics such as business, study, work, and employment. The selections are fresh and diverse, offering a thorough and precise analysis of the test questions, which is rare in current postgraduate entrance exam English coaching books. Chapter 3, "Self-Test Exercise," presents 85 application letters for candidates to practice self-assessment. In the current postgraduate entrance exam English book market, this is also the most practical and emergency-oriented. The writing section for short essays is similarly divided into three chapters, comprehensively introducing methods for writing various types of essays, accompanied by 50 test questions with model answers and analysis guidance.
