What this vocabulary PDF covers

This Chinese-language PDF organizes high-frequency CET-4 vocabulary and collocations for staged review. It is most useful when each word is connected to part of speech, common pairing, pronunciation, an example sentence and the context in which the meaning changes.

The English page is a searchable summary and study guide. The source material remains in Chinese with English vocabulary and phrases; current examination arrangements and scope should be checked separately.

A recognition-to-use loop

Split the list into small units, build cards with meaning and collocation, read the word aloud, find it in a short text or listening passage, and schedule recall on the same day, next day and one week later.

File and scope note

GUIDE

CET-4 vocabulary study guide

Turn a vocabulary list into usable recall by combining collocations, sound, context and spaced review.

Before you start

  • Have a PDF reader and vocabulary cards or an electronic note system.
  • Know basic phonetics, parts of speech, prefixes and sentence structure.
  • Reserve daily time for new input, active recall and error review.
02

Quick start

  1. 01

    Split the list

    Group words by topic or study units of roughly 30 to 50 items and mark the target part of speech.

  2. 02

    Build context cards

    Record core meaning, collocations, pronunciation and a self-written sentence, separating near-synonyms by use.

  3. 03

    Link listening and reading

    Read example sentences aloud, mark stress, and find the word in a short text or listening passage.

  4. 04

    Schedule spaced recall

    Review the same day, next day and one week later, classifying mistakes by forgetting, part of speech or collocation.

Usage tips

  • Vocabulary supports reading, listening, writing and translation; completion count alone does not show mastery.
  • Record a common high-frequency sense first, then add other senses from context instead of forcing one translation everywhere.
  • Keep vocabulary, mock-test and listening errors separate, then merge repeated collocations during weekly review.
Troubleshooting and uninstall

I recognize a word on a card but miss it in reading. What helps?

Put it back into phrases and sentences, mark word forms and context clues, and test active recall under time.

Near-synonyms keep getting mixed up. How should they be compared?

Create a contrast table for collocation, tone, countability and common sentence patterns, then verify with your own examples.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How many CET-4 words should be studied each day?

Split the list into a manageable unit, such as 30 to 50 new words, and reserve time for same-day, next-day and weekly recall.

Is a Chinese definition enough?

Also learn part of speech, collocation, word form and sentence meaning so the word can be recognized and used in context.
