1368 Words Are Enough: Practical Part

Why do most Chinese English learners, after many years of memorizing words, learning grammar, practicing listening and speaking, and taking various types of exams, still have difficulty expressing themselves when they actually use English? Faced with this problem, many people's reaction is to memorize more words. But the fact is that they cannot fully apply the words they have memorized to actual communication and expression, whether orally or in writing, in daily life, business activities or academic research. In his many years of teaching career, Wang Leping, the author of this book, has been committed to answering this question. He believes that the crux of this problem is that many domestic English learners lack English thinking. Specifically, domestic English learners generally lack the ability to master the authentic usage of common vocabulary. If you have English thinking, even if the English learner only masters 1368 words, he can express his views appropriately with his small vocabulary, because he has an in-depth understanding of the multiple meanings and uses of these basic words. As a companion volume to the best-selling book "1368 Words Are Enough" which focuses on guidance on learning methods, Teacher Wang Leping focuses more on explaining the "dry stuff" of vocabulary in this book. With the help of a large number of examples and exercises, he provides detailed and in-depth explanations of many common basic words, focusing on analyzing the extended usage of these basic words (conversion of parts of speech, extension of word meaning, collocation of phrases, application of synonyms). After mastering these extended usages, learners can use basic vocabulary to make rich and authentic English expressions.
