Features: As is well known, memorizing English words can be tedious, challenging, and difficult to sustain, yet to learn English well and pass exams, we almost memorize words every day. Memorizing words not only consumes a significant amount of our time and energy but also affects our diet and sleep. Some people are even tormented by these words to the point of despair. What is even more frustrating is that words we have painstakingly memorized often fail to surface when we need to use them, either emerging reluctantly or causing us to stumble. It seems that memorizing words is not just about hard work; a rich, focused, well-organized, and highly practical vocabulary book is a crucial prerequisite for overcoming the vocabulary barrier. To help countless postgraduate entrance exam candidates find effective shortcuts in the vast sea of words and quickly see the light of victory, we have compiled this book, 21-Day Rapid Listening and Memorization for Postgraduate English Vocabulary. The design philosophy of this book originates from the globally acclaimed book BeingBetterThanYourBest, which specifically discusses the findings of extensive research by many experts. Researchers believe that three weeks is the shortest average time required to form a habit, whether good or bad. So, let us begin to cultivate the habit of learning words through this book and take the first step toward success in postgraduate English. This book features the following:
1. Carefully Selected Entries, Comprehensive and Solid Foundation
Vocabulary is the cornerstone of language and the core of postgraduate entrance exams. Errors often arise from vocabulary misunderstandings, such as not recognizing words, not knowing their usage, or failing to deduce a word's meaning from context. Only by truly mastering vocabulary can candidates perform with ease and achieve high scores. Based on the latest postgraduate English exam syllabus, this book meticulously selects 2,592 entries, fully meeting the vocabulary requirements for the exam.
2. Comprehensive Word Meaning Expansion, Example Sentences Targeting Exam Points
Postgraduate English demands a thorough understanding of a word's meaning and usage. Each definition in this book is carefully chosen and refined by the author based on over a decade of postgraduate tutoring experience, enabling candidates to navigate the exam with confidence. Every definition is paired with a classic example sentence, making collocations and usage clear at a glance.
3. Accurate and Fluent Translations, No Blind Spots in Comprehension
The translations provided are precise and natural. By repeatedly reflecting on the translations, readers can not only deepen their understanding of English but also learn translation techniques, thereby improving their English writing and translation skills.
4. Dual Approach of Listening and Reading, Twice the Effect with Half the Effort
This book comes with high-quality audio recordings (free download link: www.newchannel.org). Readers can memorize words by combining reading example sentences with listening to the recordings. Research shows that 15% of knowledge acquired through auditory channels is remembered, while 25% from visual channels. Combining both methods can retain up to 65% of the content. More importantly, repeated listening, reading, and imitation not only reinforce word retention but also cultivate a better sense of language.
5. Clear Daily Goals, Achieving Success Quickly
For most candidates, memorizing words is a time-consuming and laborious task, often abandoned halfway or left unfinished due to its daunting scope. This book fully considers candidates' learning capacity and goals by dividing all vocabulary into 21 units, allowing them to swiftly overcome the vocabulary challenge in a short period. May this book serve as a valuable companion on your path to success.
