这可能是你的最后一本单词书
单词书我主要看了两本，一本是《Word Power Made Easy》，另外一本是《Verbal Advantage》，还有就是根据再要你命3000背了一些前两本书没有出现过的单词。从教授单词的方法上来说，我觉得前者更有意思、更可读一些。但从对GRE考试的帮助上来说，还是《Verbal Advantage》更有效，因为它囊括了更多的难词。我用程序对比过《Word Power Made Easy》和《Verbal Advantage》与要你命3000的重合度，后者是前者的两倍。但无论如何，我觉得两本书对我的词汇提升都有很大帮助，备考GRE的功劳也都不小。
当然，这两本书不一定适合所有人，毕竟是写给美国人看的书，不是备考的书。但他们对词根的分析和串联，在词汇量的长期提升上还是大有裨益。
超赞的好书，推荐给所有想要提升词汇量的educated adults。这本书最好结合作者亲自录制的24CD的音频资料同时学习。
渣JD把书给我发错了 今天才到 #比什么红宝书绿宝书高到哪里去了，看完肯定可以和Economist谈笑风生#
很好的词汇书，每个词都有情境和用法举例，有辨析，有同义词，有正确读音强调，有小测验，后面会反复提示前面学过的词，读起来很有趣味。遗憾的是，跟哲学史一样看到第二章就忘了第一章，刷一遍记不住
三刷，换一个豆瓣账号看一次。。每次都到level 8截止。好处是有音频声音好听炸裂，坏处是感觉同义词并不完全准确（？ 然而好多词还是仅在我的passive vocabulary
看完前4个level，弃。选词欠缺逻辑，解释水平也不是上佳，整体就是“生硬”两个字。
一遍是远远不够的⛽️
同义辩析和附带音频蛮好的。跟韦绿和小白比起来，这本用难易程度来排序，体系感不是很强，且各个单词的讲解深浅不一，所以四星。
這種有作者個人觀點和特色加進去的單詞書很有意思哎，背著不會無聊。記憶效果比Word Power Made Easy好，可能是因為這本單詞更簡單，以及我更注重單詞發音了。
