Features: Do English words seem hard to remember? Most people would agree, and some view memorizing words as a daunting task, causing them to hesitate in their learning journey. This is truly regrettable. Is there a secret to memorizing words? The answer is also affirmative. Through years of teaching experience, the author has written this book, integrating words into sentences to make them easier to remember and enhance retention. After completing a cycle, you can revisit the material to reinforce memory and apply your knowledge to similar contexts. The English words collected in this book are primarily based on the graded vocabulary from the Cambridge English Vocabulary Book, selecting approximately 1,200 high-frequency basic words. These words are divided into 100 groups and expanded to 2,500. Memory techniques are categorized by word formation, grouping words based on phonetic similarity, visual resemblance, and synonyms. From the perspective of word formation, vocabulary is expanded and organized into groups, forming the core structure of this book. Understanding the meanings of prefixes and suffixes can trigger associations, and once you grasp the basic roots and affixes, it becomes easier to overcome challenges.
