This book was released on 2021-04-28 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turn your mind into a DictionaryIf you swallowed a dictionary and somehow transferred all its contents into your brain, you would be unstoppable. This book makes that happen in a much less extreme way!Most books that help you prepare for the SAT or the GRE are either compendia or word lists and flashcards, or have multiple choice questions on the lines of those featured in these tests.Very few books concentrate on fun exercises to build up the skills required to become better, organically, at verbal and vocabulary skills in English. This book fills the gap.Within this book, you will find multiple fun games and exercises that help you recognize patterns and guess some of the harder words on the tests, and link them to their definitions.Here are a few key features of the approach used:1. Gamification: In each part of each exercise, you are given a set of clues about a word, one of which is always linked to its definition. This gamification approach is key to making you come back, Exercise Set after Exercise Set, to master hundreds of useful new words by the end of the entire book.2. Pattern recognition: The clues are carefully chosen so that they link to key properties of a word that help you remember it quickly in a test scenario. For example, the first letter of a word, its length, and its approximate meaning are all patterns that help us create mental shortcuts to quick + intuitive guesses. These are exactly what the word clues are based on, and they will benefit you in skill building, through an indirect approach - just like working out a group of muscles in the gym gives you muscle gains weeks later!3. Graded difficulty increase: The pool of words used for this book is carefully curated - you will start off with challenging but commonly used words for the most part, and graduate to more obscure words in a slowly staged manner. All the while, we will sprinkle in a few words related to those you have mastered in earlier Exercise Sets, so that you are able to build on what you have learnt earlier. By the end of the book, you will be ready for anything that a real standardized test can throw at you - both in terms of skills and confidence.4. Unique proprietary format: The format of questions used in this book cannot be found anywhere else - it has been tried and tested with thousands of students, and works every single time.Whether you are looking to strengthen your verbal skills in English for a test, or just looking to do this out of interest, this book is for you.

In the third section, you will be shown a large number of words. 90% of these are intermediate level common English words, and you will not even have to stop to think to guess their meanings. The remaining words will appear in subsequent volumes in this series, and you will be able to give yourself a preview of what is to come, and try to guess their meanings, even if some of them might be unfamiliar. Once you are done with the book (you can spend either a week of concentrated study or a few months to soak it all in), you will be in a great position to tackle all the difficult English words that life sends your way.

Download or read book Standard English Dictionary written by Krishna Kumar Singh and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been designed to meet the requirement of students who are preparing for different competition or taking lessons at the august universities of India or abroad. It would be helpful for all who are appearing at the competitive examination in India.This book has numerous amounts of knowledgeable information of standard dictionaries in English language. The present book is a novel attempt to cover a wide range of the problems of students of English language subjects. In making of this book, I faced very busy preparedness in my author life. I have enumerated about different knowledgeable words though it is not our area of professional work, it is in the all round of the English subjects that we have studied partially, but in this book it has by no means unlimited to that context.This book would seek to serve as a reliable guide and companion to all students and educated people of this world and all those who are involved directly or indirectly with the education of different groups. Of making many English Dictionaries there is no end; nor should there be till theoretical scholarship and actual practice are more happily wedded. In this field much valuable work has already been accomplished; but it has been largely by workers accustomed to take the scholar`s point of view and their writings are addressed rather to trained minds than to immature learners.To find an advanced Dictionary unencumbered with hard words, abstruse thoughts and difficult principles, is not altogether an easy matter. These things enhance the difficulty which an ordinary youth experiences in grasping and assimilating the facts of dictionary and create dislike for the study. It is therefore, the leading object of this book is to be both scholarly and as practical as possible.It has been our aim to make a Dictionary of as wide a scope as is consistent with the proper definition of the world. Therefore, in addition to recording and classifying the facts of language we have endeavoured to attain two other objects, - to cultivate mental skill and power and to induce the student to prosecute studies in this field. It is not supposable that in so delicate and difficult an undertaking there should be an entire freedom from errors and oversights. We shall gratefully accept ant assistance in helping to correct mistakes. A study abroad program for higher studies has always been considered as an enriching and challenging experience. Along with a rewarding career, students also get an experience about new cultures, customs, and ideas that help in molding their personalities. Thus, the reason why hundreds of aspirations migrate to various parts of the world to complete their higher studies goes way beyond academics. To get admission into an American university or that of other countries you need to clear international entrance exams. Sometimes, you not only appear for these exams entrance to these elite institutes but also to win scholarships. The amount of funding you get also depends upon your performance. Therefore, it is very important to get a good score. There are a plethora of International entrance exams such as SAT, MCAT, LSAT, GMAT, GRE etc, which cater to different educational courses. Practicality is a necessary attribute of success in any realm of life. Nevertheless, I tend to disagree with the speaker that it is possible to achieve great results using merely a pragmatic approach. Idealistic views guarantee not ephemeral success provided by pragmatic behaviour, but rather long-term prosperity and satisfaction.This book contains more than nine thousand words often used in English language, around two hundred fifty new English words. It is profoundly and eagerly hoped that this book will prove to be a boon for readers. The suggestions for improvement of this book are warmly welcome and they will be inserted at proper places in the ensuing edition.

This book was released on 2021-05-03 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upgrade your English Vocabulary Today!If you swallowed a dictionary and somehow transferred all its contents into your brain, you would be unstoppable. This book makes that happen in a much less extreme way!Most books that help you prepare for the SAT or the GRE are either compendia or word lists and flashcards, or have multiple choice questions on the lines of those featured in these tests.Very few books concentrate on fun exercises to build up the skills required to become better, organically, at verbal and vocabulary skills in English. This book fills the gap.Within this book, you will find multiple fun games and exercises that help you recognize patterns and guess some of the harder words on the tests, and link them to their definitions.Here are a few key features of the approach used:1. Gamification: In each part of each exercise, you are given a set of clues about a word, one of which is always linked to its definition. This gamification approach is key to making you come back, Exercise Set after Exercise Set, to master hundreds of useful new words by the end of the entire book.2. Pattern recognition: The clues are carefully chosen so that they link to key properties of a word that help you remember it quickly in a test scenario. For example, the first letter of a word, its length, and its approximate meaning are all patterns that help us create mental shortcuts to quick + intuitive guesses. These are exactly what the word clues are based on, and they will benefit you in skill building, through an indirect approach - just like working out a group of muscles in the gym gives you muscle gains weeks later!3. Graded difficulty increase: The pool of words used for this book is carefully curated - you will start off with challenging but commonly used words for the most part, and graduate to more obscure words in a slowly staged manner. All the while, we will sprinkle in a few words related to those you have mastered in earlier Exercise Sets, so that you are able to build on what you have learnt earlier. By the end of the book, you will be ready for anything that a real standardized test can throw at you - both in terms of skills and confidence.4. Unique proprietary format: The format of questions used in this book cannot be found anywhere else - it has been tried and tested with thousands of students, and works every single time.Whether you are looking to strengthen your verbal skills in English for a test, or just looking to do this out of interest, this book is for you.
