Features: This book adopts a subject-based and idea-clustered organization and memorization method, which aligns closely with the listening, reading, and writing sections of the TOEFL iBT, making it an essential tool for achieving a high score. The selection and definition of vocabulary in this book are based on the author's thorough understanding of over 400 reading articles from the TOEFL in the past 20 years, cultivated 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 vocabulary mastery 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 is different from test-taking techniques, the latter of which will no longer be effective during your study abroad life. It is also different from GRE vocabulary, which is only useful if you take the GRE in your lifetime.
