Features: This book largely overcomes the shortcomings of similar books, and its scientific writing principles make it a truly IELTS-aligned IELTS vocabulary book. The principles include:
1. Practical entries. The selection of entries in this book is based on the IELTS vocabulary from the new edition of the Longman Contemporary Advanced English Dictionary (English-English/English-Chinese bilingual), the College English Test Band 4 and 6 syllabi, and an IELTS corpus composed of authoritative IELTS publications.
2. Bilingual definitions (Chinese-English). Definitions are referenced from the new edition of the Longman Contemporary Advanced English Dictionary and the Oxford Advanced Learner's English-Chinese Dictionary (6th Edition) to ensure authority and timeliness. English explanations are more beneficial for students to grasp the precise meanings of the vocabulary.
3. Emphasis on vocabulary usage. Most of the example sentences in the book are extracted from authoritative IELTS publications and accompanied by Chinese translations. The purpose is to help readers memorize the key terms while familiarizing them with how these words are used in the IELTS exam.
