Phrases, not word lists学词组,而不是背单词表
Fluent writers do not build sentences one word at a time. They reach for ready-made phrases: collocations, phrasal verbs and idioms. So every lesson teaches up to ten of them, in context, with a definition, an example from the story and a hint about the slip students usually make.流畅的写作者不是一个字一个字地造句,而是运用现成的词组:固定搭配、短语动词和成语。因此每堂课在语境中教授最多十个词组,附上定义、故事中的例句,以及学生常犯错误的提示。
