Features: "Four Skills" is the highest level of English vocabulary learning. Currently, students' vocabulary memorization is only at the level of "recognizing words." In simpler terms, it means that after seeing a word, their brains can reflect its basic meaning. In terms of "reading," they are still doing okay, but in the other three aspects, there are significant shortcomings:
1. They cannot speak, i.e., they cannot pronounce the words.
2. They cannot write, i.e., they cannot spell.
3. They cannot use them, i.e., they cannot apply them, mainly referring to their use in writing. How to use the memorized words in their own writing is a major problem. Remember: the most effective way to memorize words is to place them in contexts that interest you and are valuable, striving to achieve four skills: reading, speaking, writing, and using. This book is written under this guiding principle. To save everyone's time and energy, this book avoids a "one-size-fits-all" approach and divides vocabulary into two categories:
Active Vocabulary: These words should be actively used. This book provides selected example sentences (highlighted in green) and collocations.
Passive Vocabulary: These words only need to be mastered for their basic meanings. They can be read and understood in reading and listening. In this book, only the entries and definitions are listed for such words.
The example sentences in this book are worth memorizing. The sentences are vivid and up-to-date, closely related to students' lives, making them ideal for memorization. You are required to achieve the "four skills." In fact, the example sentences in this book are unparalleled.
Solving writing problems for Chinese students during vocabulary memorization
Chinese students often make many vocabulary and grammar mistakes when writing essays. "Full of vocabulary and grammar errors" is the overall impression that examiners have of the average English writing level of candidates nationwide. The fundamental reason why candidates make writing mistakes lies in the fact that the texts in textbooks rarely contain sentences that can be directly moved into or slightly modified for use in essays. As a result, writing relies on based on the grammar they have mastered, "artificially creating many problems," and thus English essays become a source of frustration for students.
If you choose this book from the beginning when memorizing words and thoroughly memorize the more than 2,000 example sentences in it, you can lay a solid foundation for your writing skills.
