Features: This book categorizes the vocabulary from the "National Adult Higher Education Entrance Examination Review and Examination Syllabus" (English) and the corresponding "Teaching Syllabus" into three major categories based on usage frequency, referring to the word frequency in the "Collins COBUILD English Dictionary" (new edition). The categories are "Most Common Words," "Common Words," and "Less Common Words." "Most Common Words" include "Five-Star Words" and "Four-Star Words," totaling approximately 1,600 words; "Common Words" include "Three-Star Words," totaling about 1,200 words; "Less Common Words" include "Two-Star Words," "One-Star Words," and "No-Star Words," totaling about 1,400 words. This manual adopts both frequency-based sorting and alphabetical sorting, labels each entry with phonetic symbols, part of speech, definitions, lists common phrases and expressions, and serves as a pocket-sized dictionary. The purpose of this book is to provide information for those participating in adult higher education English learning—identifying which words are "Most Common Words" and which words, although required to be mastered according to the "National Adult Higher Education Entrance Examination Review and Examination Syllabus" and the corresponding "Teaching Syllabus," are not frequently used in practice. This enables learners to prioritize their vocabulary study effectively and have a clear understanding of what is most important.
