Features: New Channel, Three Birds with One Stone, Unlocking Ears, Activating Tongues, Solidifying Vocabulary – a fantastic vocabulary book that achieves three goals in one! Comes with a free MP3 disc. Seeing English enthusiasts trapped in the dilemma of painfully memorizing words every day, I felt it was my responsibility to help them make learning English a (relaxing and enjoyable) experience. Therefore, I wanted to create a vocabulary manual that breaks away from traditional methods. Little did I know that once I started, I couldn’t stop. From junior high vocabulary to high school vocabulary, then to university Band 4 vocabulary, and finally to university Band 6 vocabulary, it took nearly two years to complete this series of "Practice Speaking and Memorize Vocabulary" books. This series I offer to readers can be considered an innovation in English vocabulary learning, with the following features:
1. Innovative Concept: Every entry in this series appears in the form of small dialogues from daily life.
2. Three Birds with One Stone: "Unlocking Ears, Activating Tongues, and Solidifying Vocabulary" are the three goals of "Practice Speaking and Memorize Vocabulary." "Unlocking Ears" refers to improving listening skills while memorizing words through dictation of the dialogues in the accompanying audio. "Activating Tongues" means imitating the pronunciation and intonation in the audio dialogues, so that with each word memorized, you also remember everyday spoken scenarios, thereby improving your spoken English subconsciously. Memorizing words is also achieved through dictation and imitation, and with the help of scenarios, not only will you remember the words firmly, but you will also become proficient in their use in specific contexts.
3. Step-by-Step Progression: This is a tiered vocabulary series. Junior high vocabulary includes 1,323 entries, high school vocabulary includes 1,998 entries, Band 4 vocabulary includes 2,473 entries, and Band 6 vocabulary includes 2,368 entries. Readers can climb the ladder according to their learning stage and ultimately master over 8,000 basic English words.
4. Original Team: All dialogues in this series are created by language experts from English-speaking countries. English-speaking authors were chosen because they not only use authentic English but also reflect the characteristics of English culture in the dialogues. Additionally, the foreign authors of the series have all studied Chinese or other foreign languages and have personal experience with learning foreign languages, allowing them to truly approach the series from the learner’s perspective. This ensures that the dialogues are lively and authentic.

1. Innovative Concept: Every entry in this series appears in the form of small dialogues from daily life. Since spoken dialogues are also a form of context, readers can memorize words through dialogue scenarios, using context to aid in association and recall. Memorizing words is not just about simple pronunciation and mechanical rote memorization; readers can use the accompanying audio to improve listening and speaking skills while memorizing words, breaking free from the traditional methods of memorization.
