Features: Master the essence efficiently; Learn with fun; Practice with real exam questions to apply vocabulary. This book is compiled based on the new PETS examination syllabus. In terms of content and structure, it is designed with ingenuity and creativity. Structurally, we separate core vocabulary (unique to this level) and basic vocabulary. In terms of content, each entry generally consists of the following parts: word, phonetic transcription, part of speech, inflectional forms of the word, definition, memory techniques, typical examples, key points, vocabulary expansion, and classic exam questions.
(1) Word: Words and phrases specified in the PETS examination syllabus word list.
(2) Phonetic Transcription: The pronunciation of the word is indicated in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) after the word. For words with different pronunciations due to different parts of speech, both pronunciations are placed in brackets and separated by semicolons. Generally, one pronunciation is marked for each word entry, but less common variant pronunciations are also provided when necessary, separated by semicolons.
(3) Part of Speech: The part of speech is indicated in italics using English abbreviations. If a word has multiple parts of speech, they are arranged in order of commonality.
(4) Inflectional Forms: Irregular forms of verbs, irregular plural forms of nouns, irregular comparative and superlative forms of adjectives and adverbs, etc. For convenience, we have compiled and organized irregular verb forms and irregular plural noun forms into appendices for easy reference.
