— Iwona, Poland
I have several books for TOEFL preparation. I must say nothing handles speaking and writing strategies as beautifully as this book does…this book was right on the target. It teaches you the skills by letting you know what graders are looking for and how they do the evaluation. As a result, you focus on those very essential and critical points, which graders are measuring you against. To me it is one of the best book available on the subject. — A Student

Vocabulary 4000
(The 4000 Words Essential for an Educated Vocabulary)
English offers perhaps the richest vocabulary of all languages, in part because its words are culled from so many languages.
It is a shame that we do not tap this rich source more often in our daily conversation to express ourselves more clearly and precisely.
Many vocabulary books list esoteric words we quickly forget or feel self-conscious using. However, there is a bounty of choice words between the common and the esoteric that often seem be just on the tip of our tongue. Vocabulary 4000 brings these words to the fore.
All the words you need for success in business, school and life!
Features:
- 4000 Words Defined
- Word Analysis section
- Idiom and Usage section
- 200 Prefixes, Roots, and Suffixes
- Concise, practical definitions
- Great for the SAT, GRE, TOEFL, and other entrance exams
Testimonial:
I am an English major and had never seen the majority of the words listed in here! Since I am always looking to learn interesting new words this was a real find. It is an excellent tool while preparing for the verbal section of the GRE and learning more colorful terms in general. — A Student
