Features: For those learning English in a non-English environment who wish to succeed, it is essential to invest a significant amount of effort. There are numerous obstacles in English learning, with grammatical difficulties being particularly challenging. To help overcome these grammatical hurdles and pass English proficiency exams such as the CET-4 and CET-6, postgraduate entrance exams, and other English tests with satisfactory results, the author has compiled this book, "Essential Explanations of English Grammar Difficulties" (hereinafter referred to as "Essential Explanations").
The book conducts statistical analysis and in-depth research on the question-setting patterns of English tests from 1980 to 1999, including self-study exams, the College English Test (CET), the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), postgraduate entrance exams, and the English Proficiency Test for those preparing to study abroad (WSK). Based on this analysis, it categorizes and selects key and difficult points in English grammar for detailed explanations, supplemented by typical examples. Through the analysis and examples of numerous grammatical rules, the book aims to provide readers with a comprehensive and clear understanding of the key and difficult aspects of intermediate and advanced English grammar, ultimately achieving the effect of generalization and firm retention.
The book is divided into 20 chapters, covering both lexical and syntactic aspects. It concisely explains, with examples, the usage of commonly used words in daily learning, frequently tested words in intermediate and advanced English exams, and easily mistaken expressions in sentence structures and patterns. With the principle of "concise theory and abundant practice," each chapter offers brief and reusable theoretical explanations, making it suitable for classroom presentations. It is particularly ideal for candidates preparing for intermediate and advanced English exams to use for intensive review before the exams.
The author believes that candidates taking English exams will greatly benefit from this book.
