Features: Master skills with efficiency; learn with fun and interest; train with real exam questions to apply vocabulary! This book is compiled based on the new PETS examination syllabus from the Ministry of Education. In terms of content and structure, it is designed with clever and unique ingenuity. Structurally, we separate core vocabulary (vocabulary unique to this level) and basic vocabulary. In terms of content, each entry in this book generally consists of the following parts: word, phonetic transcription, part of speech, inflectional forms of the word, definition, memory techniques, typical example sentences, 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. Due to different parts of speech, different 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 italic English abbreviations. If a word has multiple parts of speech, they are arranged in order of commonality.
(4) Inflectional Forms of the Word: This refers to irregular forms of verbs, irregular plural forms of nouns, irregular comparative and superlative forms of adjectives and adverbs, etc. For the convenience of candidates, we have systematically organized and compiled irregular verb forms and irregular plural noun forms, which are included as appendices in the book.
