Seeing the title of this book, you might have a big question: Can six articles cover the most common phrases used in university English? Phrases are one of the key aspects of English learning. Only by mastering common phrases and familiarizing yourself with their structures and usage can you use them with ease. Some people believe that phrase mastery can be achieved through simple memorization, leading to quick breakthroughs in a short time. However, this method lacks contextual understanding, making it dull and ineffective, often yielding minimal results. Others argue that phrase recognition can be done naturally through extensive reading, but when exams are approaching, it often feels like distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
If only a few articles covered the common phrases outlined in the curriculum, wouldn’t this be both beneficial for contextual understanding and rapid memorization, achieving the best of both worlds? The book in your hands avoids the shortcomings of both methods while combining their strengths. It selects a small number of natural and authentic articles, covering the most commonly used phrases in university English, thereby opening a magical door for you to rapidly expand your phrase knowledge and contextual understanding. We believe that after reading this book, you will benefit greatly!
Authentic and Natural Selection of Articles
The six articles in this book are carefully selected and polished by foreign experts, ensuring that the language is natural, the plots are engaging, and the content is entertaining. This completely overcomes the flaws of some similar books that merely list phrases from the curriculum, forcing together awkward combinations that make the reading experience dull and confusing.
Comprehensive Coverage of Common Phrases
Through computer analysis of the frequency of phrase usage in past exams, we have selected the most common phrases for university English. These phrases are included in the six articles and 30 exercises, accompanied by Chinese translations, effectively covering and helping you quickly master them.
Classic Examples to Strengthen Memory
As Xu Guozhang, a renowned English educator, said, “I believe the best way to learn is through phrases or sentences… If you learn this way, you’ll learn actively, and active learning leads to better retention.” For this reason, we have also strictly selected up-to-date and classic examples from multiple perspectives, further enhancing your understanding of phrases in context.
Professional Voice Recording for Listening and Reading
Psychologists say that 25% of memory comes from visual input, 15% from auditory input, and combining the two can achieve a 65% effect. Therefore, each article is accompanied by a reading performed by professional native speakers, allowing you to combine listening and reading for a holistic improvement in listening, speaking, reading, and memory.
With the careful selection of multiple foreign experts and the enthusiastic participation of several renowned domestic professors, we believe this book is more lively and engaging than any phrase manual and more targeted, readable, and up-to-date than any other reading material. This book is the essence of the original 6 Articles Covering University Common Phrases. Compared to the original, this edition is in a compact, portable format with more comprehensive and refined content, making it even more convenient for readers to study and learn.
