Features: "30 Days to Conquer the CET-4" is a self-study book specifically designed for English learners of non-English majors (Public English) to quickly achieve high scores in the "National College English Test Band 4" (CET-4). The series consists of seven volumes: Vocabulary Preparation, Basic Knowledge, Listening, Reading, Grammar and Vocabulary, Cloze, Translation, and Short Answer & Writing. The main creators of the series are teachers with years of experience in CET-4 and CET-6 English teaching. They are highly experienced in preparation guidance, and their students have achieved nearly a 100% pass rate in CET-4 over the years. The series also includes contributions from some top CET-4 and CET-6 test-takers in certain chapters, providing unique insights and valuable experience for students preparing to tackle the exam. This book is the Listening volume of the "30 Days to Conquer the CET-4" series, covering the listening section of the CET-4 exam, accompanied by audio recordings for self-assessment before the exam. The listening section accounts for 20% of the total score. Before June 1997, the listening comprehension was composed of two parts: Short Conversations (Section A) and Passages (Section B). However, starting from June 1997, a new listening task called Dictation was introduced to replace the passages. The dictation section includes two forms: Spot Dictation and Compound Dictation. In past exams, the CET-4 has adopted Compound Dictation to replace passages in June 1997, January 1998, June 2001, and December 2002, among others. As one of the listening preparation books for the CET-4, this book has the following features:
1. Scientific 30-Day Breakthrough!
