Features: This book is compiled based on the new IELTS vocabulary list provided by senior IELTS examiners. It includes 2,172 words. The main features of this book are: 1. Both compilers have taught at Beijing New Oriental School's IELTS training department for over four years, teaching courses such as vocabulary expansion, reading, speaking, pronunciation, and writing. This book is a perfect combination of long-term IELTS teaching experience and the vocabulary list drafted by senior IELTS examiners; 2. Based on the feature that the IELTS listening section primarily uses British English pronunciation, it comes with an audio CD recorded by British experts. This not only helps learners subconsciously master the fixed usage of words but also improves their English listening skills and enhances their exam-taking techniques; 3. The book avoids the flaw of previous vocabulary manuals that solely emphasize word quantity, instead highlighting the mastery of word usage by candidates. It is accompanied by carefully selected, concise example sentences, aligning with the spirit of the IELTS exam—the application of English language skills; 4. The book is structured based on scientific learning methods, designed into 21 units, with its design philosophy derived from the globally popular book From Good to Great, which specifically discusses a result of extensive research by many experts. In summary, whether from the overall concept or the content arrangement, this book is more targeted toward IELTS vocabulary learning and greatly benefits IELTS candidates in improving their listening, reading, writing, and speaking abilities. The book comes with a complimentary audio CD of British English pronunciation.
