Features: Memorizing vocabulary is the first step in learning English, a basic and most challenging process. To help candidates efficiently memorize postgraduate entrance exam English vocabulary and break through the bottleneck in English review, the compilers have written this "Standard Vocabulary Handbook for Postgraduate Entrance Exam English." This book strictly follows the newly issued "National Postgraduate Entrance Examination English Syllabus (Non-English Majors)" by the Ministry of Education. It is meticulously compiled by a team of New Oriental teachers with extensive experience in postgraduate English training. To highlight key points and enhance memory, the book adopts a simple and clear structure, focuses on preventing visual fatigue in its layout, and arranges content in a well-organized manner, allowing candidates to easily master the syllabus vocabulary.
What makes this handbook unique is that the compilers, starting from the practical needs of candidates and adhering to the principles of saving time and energy while improving learning efficiency, list only the phonetic symbols, Chinese definitions, and related phrases for each entry in the syllabus. This does not mean the book is merely a pile of vocabulary; on the contrary, it is a carefully designed, highly targeted vocabulary guide. The compilers have meticulously selected the Chinese definitions for each word, considering both the frequently tested meanings and the potential for "familiar words with unfamiliar meanings," as well as their importance. The compilers' goal is to ensure candidates do not memorize too much or feel burdened, yet also do not miss anything essential—comprehensive yet concise.
