Features: This book is compiled based on the newly issued College English Teaching Syllabus for undergraduate students by the Ministry of Education and the College English Test Band 4 and 6 Syllabus. Compared to the original syllabus, the new syllabus has made significant adjustments in terms of objectives, requirements, and other aspects. Firstly, it no longer formulates separate syllabi for liberal arts and sciences versus science and engineering. Secondly, it clearly proposes a higher objective of "cultivating students' ability to communicate information in English." Thirdly, it designates Band 4 as the basic requirement that all higher education institutions across the country should achieve. Fourthly, it lists listening, speaking, writing, and translation skills at the same level as students' language application abilities, alongside reading skills, and has significantly raised the requirements for these skills and vocabulary.
This book is organized entirely according to the new syllabus in both content and form. In terms of question types, it includes dictation of numbers and sentences, true-or-false listening analysis, Q&A, as well as dialogues, short passages, and compound dictation. The questions are designed based on the exam format, making the book highly targeted and instructive.
The book features fresh content, diverse formats, broad coverage, and vivid language, integrating knowledge, interest, and readability. It allows readers to grasp key exam points through enjoyable reading while aligning with the new syllabus's goal of cultivating students' comprehensive qualities. This book not only directly helps and guides test-takers to pass the Band 6 exam but also provides reference and assistance for candidates of various English exams.
