TOFEL Dictionary Part 2 (251-500)
Learning new vocabulary words is important when preparing for a standardized test; however, it is important to make sure that you learn how to use these new vocabulary words in context. The biggest mistake students make is memorizing word lists without developing an understanding of how to use the words in an appropriate context.
学习新词汇对准备标化考试极其重要；在语境中学习并使用词汇是最好的方法，而不是单纯的记忆。
In this activity you will focus on developing a deeper understanding of the most commonly used words that you will encounter while taking a standardized English exam. Words that appear more often are higher on the list, while more words that are more obscure or difficult will appear closer to the end. For this proxy you will not just focus on memorizing the spelling and translations of words. Instead you will need to complete a variety of tasks that will help you develop a deeper understanding of the English Language. These tasks include: using IPA to learn how to produce each word properly, find an accurate translation for each word, and improve your writings skills by using the word properly in a sentence.
本活动着重于加深对标化考试中最常用单词的理解，单词出现频率从高到低依次排列。需要完成多项任务包括：使用国际音标正确发音每个单词，找到单词的准确翻译，并造句。
It is not recommended to complete this activity from start to finish in one prolonged study session. Instead you should work your way through this workbook over an extended period of time. A reasonable expectation is to complete new 5 words every day, and at the end of each week you should review the 25 new words that you learnt that week with a spelling and grammar test.
不建议一次性完成所有单词。学生可按照其程度来相应安排学习计划，如每天完成5个新词，即每周25个。
