In September 2003, the World Knowledge Press launched the first edition of the Aowen English "Junior High School English Dictionary," which quickly garnered a huge response from teachers and students. In the past two years, we have received over 10,000 letters from readers, and many students have directly visited the Aowen English website to enter the free junior high school English question-and-answer zone for convenient and quick communication. Teachers and students have given our dictionary extremely high praise, with many students stating that it has become their favorite English reference book. After using it, their interest and confidence in learning English have greatly increased, and their grades have improved significantly. We are deeply proud and happy to have helped so many students achieve noticeable progress in their English learning! However, we know that a good book, especially a good dictionary, needs constant revision and improvement to maintain its vitality. For this reason, we completely revamped the "Junior High School English Dictionary" less than a year after its release, and later made some adjustments with each new printing. This time, to fully incorporate our new research findings from the past two years, the feedback from reader letters, and the insights gained from teacher and student training across the country, to keep pace with the new national junior high school teaching reforms, and to live up to the high expectations of teachers and students, we spent nearly a year completely upgrading and revising the "Junior High School English Dictionary." Without any hesitation, the update and revision speed of the Aowen English dictionary published by the World Knowledge Press is unmatched by other dictionaries on the market. As mentioned in the preface of the newly launched Aowen "High School English Dictionary" earlier this year, the idea of compiling a truly scientific and highly practical dictionary for middle school students has long been a dream for the main creators of Aowen English, even dating back over ten or twenty years to our days of studying at the Beijing Foreign Studies University. We are committed to compiling such dictionaries, which are highly targeted, comprehensive, and lively. They summarize our years of experience in learning foreign languages, showcase the new developments of English in English-speaking countries and its new applications in modern society, and especially help middle school students avoid many pitfalls of traditional teaching methods, making the entire process of learning English enjoyable and engaging, truly achieving high scores and high competence. We believe that this Aowen "Junior High School English Dictionary" has at least achieved the following two important goals:
1. It is a carefully compiled dictionary specifically for junior high students, helping you truly achieve exam-free and high scores with high competence: Comprehensive vocabulary, covering all words in new junior high school English textbooks across the country; providing dual phonetic transcriptions according to the new edition of the "New Target English" curriculum; listing phrases and collocations separately; including a large number of exam points and distinctions from original questions and authoritative mock exams in various provinces' new junior high school entrance exams; test questions fully aligned with recent provincial junior high school entrance exams, incorporating a significant number of original exam questions. With this dictionary as a guide in your daily learning, you won't have to worry about the junior high school English exam.
2. It is a comprehensive dictionary that helps you build a solid knowledge system, achieving comprehensive understanding and lightning-fast, long-lasting memory: To help achieve lightning-fast, clear, and long-lasting memory, this dictionary is not only beautifully and clearly organized but also features dual-color printing. More importantly, we have put great effort into the editing and summarization of its content: introducing a revolutionary concept of word grouping learning, widely using vivid examples close to junior high students' lives, incorporating a large amount of Chinese and foreign culture, news and current events, proverbs, famous quotes, tongue twisters, and short humor, strongly advocating word formation memory, fun memory, and thematic learning methods. Exam explanations, quick distinctions, lightning-fast memory, synonyms, and antonyms are all interconnected, allowing for easy generalization! The entire dictionary contains over 4,000 main entries, nearly 7,000 searchable words, all meticulously linked and interconnected. Regarding the editorial approach and features of this dictionary, I will further discuss them in the "Dictionary Philosophy and Features" and "Format Explanation" sections after the preface, and will not elaborate here. In this thorough upgrade and revision of the Aowen "Junior High School English Dictionary," we reread a large number of reader letters received over the past year and a half and sought opinions and suggestions from teachers and students in Beijing, Shanghai, Shandong, Hubei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Chongqing, Yunnan, and Guangdong through the dictionary's sales channels. We sincerely thank all readers, teachers, and students for their valuable feedback and kindly ask for your continued support. We sincerely wish everyone progress in their studies and happiness in life!
