Features: This book adopts a subject-based and idea-group-oriented organization and memory method, which aligns closely with the listening, reading, and writing sections of the TOEFL iBT, making it an essential tool for achieving high scores. The selection and meaning of vocabulary in this book are based on the author's thorough understanding of over 400 TOEFL reading articles from the past 20 years, developed through intensive teaching at New Oriental. This teaching experience has made the author acutely aware of the gradual evolution of TOEFL core vocabulary and its meanings in recent years, as well as changes in vocabulary assessment methods and shifts in the focus of evaluation. Selecting and refining vocabulary requires not only a deep familiarity with the current TOEFL exam but also in-depth research into 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 readers 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 differs from test-taking techniques, which become ineffective during your study abroad life. It is also distinct from GRE vocabulary, which is only relevant for taking the GRE in your lifetime.
