Features: As is well known, memorizing English words can be tedious, challenging, and difficult to sustain. Yet, to learn English well and pass exams, we almost memorize words every day. Memorizing words not only consumes a significant amount of our time and energy but also affects our diet and sleep. Some people are even tormented by these words to the point of despair. What is even more frustrating is that words we have painstakingly memorized often fail to surface when we need to use them, either reluctantly or with embarrassing mistakes. It seems that memorizing words is not just about hard work; a comprehensive, focused, well-organized, and highly practical vocabulary book is a crucial prerequisite for overcoming the vocabulary barrier. To help countless postgraduate entrance exam candidates find effective shortcuts in the vast sea of words and quickly see the light of victory, we have compiled this "21-Day Rapid Listening and Memorization of Postgraduate English Vocabulary."
The design philosophy of this book originates from the globally acclaimed book "Being Better Than Your Best," which specifically discusses the findings of extensive research by many experts. The researchers concluded that three weeks is the average minimum time required to develop a habit, whether good or bad. Therefore, let us start cultivating the habit of learning words through this book and take the first step toward success in postgraduate English. This book is characterized by the following features:
1. Carefully Selected Entries, Comprehensive and Solid Foundation
Vocabulary is the cornerstone of language and the core of postgraduate entrance exams. Errors often arise from vocabulary issues, such as not recognizing words, not knowing their usage, or failing to deduce a word's meaning from context. Only by truly mastering vocabulary can one perform with ease and achieve high scores on exams. Based on the newly released postgraduate English exam syllabus, this book meticulously selects 2,592 entries, fully meeting the vocabulary requirements for the exam.
2. Comprehensive Word Meaning Expansion, Example Sentences Targeting Exam Points
Postgraduate English requires a thorough understanding of a word's meaning and usage. Each definition in this book is carefully chosen and refined based on over a decade of teaching experience. Once mastered, candidates will feel confident and during the exam. Each definition is paired with a classic example sentence, making the habitual collocations and usage of the vocabulary immediately clear.
3. Accurate and Fluent Translations, No Blind Spots in Understanding
The translations accompanying this book are designed to be precise and natural. By repeatedly reflecting on the translations, readers can deepen their understanding of English while also learning translation techniques, thereby improving their English writing and translation skills.
4. Combining Listening and Reading for Twice the Effect
This book comes with high-quality audio recordings (free download link: www.newchannel.org). Readers can memorize words by reviewing example sentences and listening to the recordings. Research shows that knowledge acquired through listening is retained at 15%, while that acquired through vision is retained at 25%. Combining both methods can lead to a retention rate of up to 65%. More importantly, repeated listening, reading, and imitation not only reinforce word retention but also cultivate a better sense of language.
5. Clear Daily Goals, Achieving Objectives Quickly
For most candidates, memorizing words is a time-consuming and laborious task. Many give up halfway or become inconsistent in their efforts due to unrealistic timelines. This book fully considers candidates' learning capacity and goals by dividing all vocabulary into 21 units, enabling them to quickly overcome the vocabulary challenge in a short period. We hope this book will be a valuable companion on your journey to success.
