Features: This book adopts a subject-based and idea-clustered organization and memory method, which aligns highly with the Listening, Reading, and Writing sections of the TOEFL iBT. It serves as an important tool for achieving a high score on the TOEFL iBT. The selection and meaning of vocabulary in this book are based on the author's in-depth understanding of over 400 reading articles from the TOEFL over the past 20 years, cultivated through high-intensity teaching at New Oriental. This teaching experience has made the author acutely aware of the gradual evolution of core TOEFL vocabulary and its meanings in recent years, as well as changes in vocabulary assessment methods and shifts in the focus of vocabulary evaluation. Selecting and refining vocabulary requires not only a strong familiarity with the current TOEFL exam but also an in-depth study of the current vocabulary mastery levels of most learners. As an educator engaged in English teaching and research and someone who has already completed their study abroad journey, I can confidently tell the learners of this book: The vocabulary recorded in this book will be the most widely used vocabulary in your study abroad experience. They will appear in the textbooks you read, the class discussions you participate in, and the graduation papers you complete. TOEFL vocabulary is different from test-taking techniques, the latter of which will no longer be effective in your study abroad life. It is also different from GRE vocabulary, which is only useful if you take the GRE in your lifetime.
