Features: During the process of teaching postgraduate entrance exam courses at New Oriental, the author has a profound understanding that most candidates lack proficiency in vocabulary and complex sentences. Many students remember a lot of words but are unfamiliar with high-frequency core vocabulary. When faced with complex sentences, they are often overwhelmed by the vast and confusing English grammar and difficult reading materials. To address these issues, this book considers the needs of candidates, including 747 sets of complex sentences and 1,588 high-frequency core words, with a focus on thoroughly analyzing sentences to help candidates master the meaning and usage of words. At the same time, accurate understanding and proficient memorization of vocabulary promote candidates' grasp and application of sentences. The features of this book can be summarized as follows:
1. New Concept, Comprehensive Guidance for Postgraduate Entrance Exam Review
Fully implement the new concept of "learning vocabulary through real exam questions," guiding the new trend of postgraduate exam preparation. Most of the complex sentences in this book are from reading comprehension, translation, and cloze tests in past postgraduate entrance exam papers. Based on this, the book comprehensively interprets the real exam questions and summarizes core vocabulary.
2. Innovative Format, Unique Memory Methods
Break through the traditional method of memorizing words by alphabetical order and adopt a brand-new memory model—learning words through sentences, using familiar words to remember unfamiliar ones, and cycling through memory in a loop. This ultimately achieves a dual breakthrough in vocabulary and complex sentences.
3. Precise Positioning, All-Round Breakthrough
Each example sentence in the book is basically marked with the year it appeared in past exam papers, and the sentences are precisely positioned and analyzed. This resolves candidates' grammar confusion and helps them consolidate grammar knowledge while memorizing words. The book provides classic example sentences from past exam papers, using them to clarify grammar, provide translations, and break through vocabulary, enabling candidates to achieve the greatest results in the shortest time.
