Characteristics of this book:
· Vocabulary in Context, Multi-pronged Approach
This book is divided into 30 units, each consisting of vocabulary, example sentences, passages, and classic examination questions. Each unit begins with a vocabulary section. These words are provided with phonetic transcriptions, Chinese-English annotations, collocations, and example sentences to help students overcome the "obstacle" of "unknown words." Subsequently, the usage of words is presented in different contexts, and the example sentences provided for each word are all sourced from the texts of New English Course (Volumes 1-4) and past professional English proficiency examination questions, ensuring the authenticity and authority of the contextual examples. Through the learning process, students not only review the texts but also gain insight into the examination content, achieving the goal of "hitting two birds with one stone" or "achieving twice the result with half the effort"!
· Aligned with Examination Questions, Contemporary Texts as a Shield
Language is alive, and vocabulary, grammar, and structure can only reflect their connotations, style, and significance within the context of a passage. Only with strong reading skills can one grasp the life of language and apply it flexibly! The 60 passages selected in this book are all from past professional English Level 4 examination questions, accompanied by accurate Chinese translations and English-Chinese comparisons to consolidate the learning outcomes of the vocabulary section, transforming "dead" words into a living language. Like a shield, it builds a strong barrier for your vocabulary learning!
· Native Speaker Pronunciation, Enhancing Listening and Speaking Skills
Psychologists have pointed out that the coordinated activity of multiple senses is one of the key conditions for improving memory effectiveness. In human memory, 25% comes from vision, and 15% from hearing, with a combined effect of 65%. English is a spoken language, and listening accounts for a significant portion of the information acquired in English learning. We have carefully provided recordings by native speakers for this book, allowing students to memorize words while listening to the recordings. This not only greatly improves listening and speaking skills but also enables students to unconsciously remember and use words, achieving twice the result with half the effort.
· Examination Question Practice, Deepening Memory
After becoming proficient in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, how can you ensure that you have fully grasped the true meaning of the words? No need to worry! After each unit, we have carefully arranged 20 examination question practices specifically targeting the vocabulary just learned, with detailed explanations for each question.
· Integrating Vocabulary, Reading, Listening, and Writing
This book breaks the traditional characteristic of vocabulary books being purely for memorization, integrating vocabulary, passages, and pronunciation into one. Words are memorized through reading, in context, and while listening. Highlighting its three-dimensional features, it scientifically combines various effective methods, marking a significant innovation in vocabulary books! This book can not only be used as a vocabulary book but also as a listening, reading, and writing book, effortlessly improving your English skills. We sincerely hope this book can bring a glimmer of hope to students struggling in the jungle of English learning. English learning is a long and arduous journey, and only those who are not afraid of difficulties can reach the summit and see the big picture!
