Features: If English is compared to a large tree, grammar is the root of this tree. If grammar is not well mastered, even with a vast vocabulary in mind, it is just like scattered branches and leaves. The recent reform of college English teaching requires students' abilities to shift from primarily reading comprehension to comprehensive practical skills. As a result, the College English Test Band 4 (CET-4), which assesses this ability, has also undergone corresponding changes. Although the CET-4 exam has reduced direct testing of grammar structures, grammar remains the fundamental content of English, something students should master. This book is the grammar volume of the College English Test Band 4 High Score Breakthrough series. At the request of readers, it has been revised to be more student-friendly. The revised edition's features are prominent in the following aspects:
1. Comprehensive Coverage, Highlighting Key Points
This book covers the main grammar points specified in the College English Teaching Syllabus. The categorization of grammar points reflects the focus of grammar learning, making it easier for students to grasp. All grammar points in the book appear in the form of exam questions, avoiding unnecessary repetition of content already mastered in traditional grammar books, thus achieving conciseness and highlighting key points.
2. Thorough Analysis, Precise Explanations
Each example question in the book is presented in the form of classic test questions, integrating dry grammar rules into more intuitive and easily understandable real exam questions, helping students better understand and master them.
3. New Structure, Convenient Learning
The important grammar points are grouped into nine categories, divided into nine chapters. With the goal of being "time-saving, effort-saving, and efficient," each chapter is further divided into several sections:
- "Real Exam Questions" help students quickly identify their weaknesses and blind spots in grammar mastery, allowing them to determine their learning priorities and tackle them effectively.
- After studying, students can use the "Pre-test Questions" section to self-assess and check their learning progress.
- If there are still difficulties, the "Answer and Detailed Analysis" section will help you overcome the final challenges.
4. Classic Example Sentences, Learning Shortcuts
Memorization is always necessary, even essential, when learning anything. For English language learning, memorizing certain things can indeed be time-saving and efficient. The last section of this book selects 100 typical example sentences that best illustrate each grammar point. If students can memorize and thoroughly master the grammar points in these sentences, other corresponding grammar difficulties will be easily resolved.
We hope that by fully mastering the content of this book, students can build a solid foundation in grammar. This will not only improve their grammar test-taking skills but also effectively enhance their listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation abilities in English.
