This book is compiled based on the new PETS examination syllabus from the Ministry of Education. It is designed with clever and unique structure. In terms of structure, we separate core vocabulary (unique to this level) and basic vocabulary. In terms of content, each entry in the book generally consists of the following parts: word, phonetic transcription, part of speech, inflectional forms of the word, definition, memory techniques, typical examples, key points, vocabulary expansion, and classic exam questions.
(1) Word: Words and phrases specified in the PETS examination syllabus word list.
(2) Phonetic Transcription: The pronunciation of the word is indicated in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) after the word. If the pronunciation differs based on the part of speech, both pronunciations are placed in brackets and separated by a semicolon. Each word generally has one pronunciation marked: less common variant pronunciations are sometimes also provided, separated by a semicolon.
(3) Part of Speech: The part of speech is indicated in italicized English abbreviations. If a word has multiple parts of speech, they are arranged in order of commonality.
(4) Inflectional Forms of the Word: This refers to irregular forms of verbs, irregular plural forms of nouns, irregular comparative and superlative forms of adjectives and adverbs, etc. For the convenience of candidates, we have systematically organized and compiled irregular verb forms and irregular plural noun forms into appendices.
(5) Symbols and Typography Usage Explanation
