Features: According to the requirements of the National Education Commission, English courses were gradually introduced in primary schools in major cities, counties, and above starting from the fall of 2001; starting from the fall of 2002, rural primary schools were also required to gradually introduce English courses. For primary school students, as a completely new subject, how to help them quickly adapt and maintain a strong interest in English learning, making their studies efficient and effective, is a matter of close attention not only for teachers and children but also for parents. To learn English well, one must first master a certain number of words and oral expressions. To help primary school students quickly get into the state of English learning, we have specifically organized experts to compile this New English-Chinese Dictionary (Primary School Edition). The purpose of compiling this dictionary is to follow the language cognitive model of primary school students and the regularity of mother tongue learning, enabling young readers to learn English step by step and achieve synchronized improvement in language and knowledge. To help primary school students better master English words, we have specially invited Teacher Tu Zhiping from the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts to provide illustrations for the dictionary, making the pages more lively while also giving students a visual sense of the words they are learning. This dictionary includes more than 1,500 common words, slightly increasing from the vocabulary requirements set by the Education Commission, with most of the additional words being those frequently encountered in daily life by primary school students. In terms of English definitions, it primarily uses vocabulary that primary school students are expected to master. For example sentences, based on the cognitive level of primary school students, some common examples are selected, with sentences kept as simple as possible and content aligned with their daily cognitive understanding. The translation strives for accuracy and conciseness to help students master words in a short period of time.
