5000 Graded Basic Words with Examples & Guidance

Phil Baillargeon

Description

Le dictionnaire anglais-français de Philippe Baillargeon rassemble des mots du quotidien classés par ordre alphabétique, replacés dans leur contexte et assortis d'explications afin d'éclairer les problèmes d'ordre grammatical, lexical ou liés à la prononciation. Avec clarté et cohérence, il propose une méthode d'apprentissage structurée qui s'adresse principalement au public adolescent auquel il est demandé une lecture active. Son objectif est de travailler tous les aspects de la langue anglaise, aussi bien orale qu'écrite en stimulant la compréhension autant que l'expression. Sans oublier de mettre en garde contre les faux-amis et autres pièges, l'ouvrage fournit également des tableaux synthétisant les principaux points de grammaire et de conjugaison. D'une grande utilité pratique, il donnera envie d'apprendre aux débutants et permettra aux plus avancés d'approfondir leurs connaissances de la langue de Shakespeare.

A DICTIONARY OF DAILY BASIC WORDS USEFUL TO ALL: STUDENTS, THEIR TEACHERS, AND THE PARENTS

A DICTIONARY OF DAILY BASIC WORDS USEFUL TO ALL: STUDENTS, THEIR TEACHERS, AND THE PARENTS
ABOUT ITS CHARACTERISTICS
1 5 000 BASIC WORDS IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER.
Note: Words identical to French will be met elsewhere: ex attention, restaurant , metal, etc.
2 Only a NEW BASIC WORD per line .
A) ON THE LEFT HALF-LINE:
3 The new word is written IN CAPITAL LETTERS.
4 Very impòrtant : its main accent is always signalled. (`)
5 Its use is illustrated within A SHORT and CONCRETE EXAMPLE. (Half a line!)
6 And the examples are adapted to TEENAGERS’ INTERESTS .
B) ON THE RIGHT HALF-LINE:
7 This section is entitled HELP SECTION: your guide to making clearer the example.
8 HELP SECTION : first, you often get synonyms for the word in CAPITAL LETTERS.
9 Next, at least one French equìvalent is given… also written in CAPITAL LETTERS.
10 All irregular forms are mentioned: verbs, nouns, adjectives, and adverbs .
11 Irregular forms are important to you: learn them . – That’ help’ appears repeatedly .
12 Very often, further examples of the word are given for better understanding.
13 A word underlined in the illustration will also have its meaning in (…) in the HELP.
14 In fact, this Dictionary is a kind of Workbook : your own participation is necessary.
15 It will help you master the 4 objectives of English and contribute to your success in
Listening, SPEAKING, Reading, and WRITING .
16 And BASIC WORDS – the most frequent words in written and spoken English – are fundamental to reach these four goals.
C) NOW YOUR WORDS PER LEVEL: only 4, or 5 new words per school day.
17 True : 5 a day = 100 a month / 100 x 10 months = 1000 / 1000 words x 5 years = 5000!
18 At the top of each page, you can see the month: SEPT.BW 1 , OCT.BW 32 , NOV . etc.
19 Sec. 1 : bold: chiffres en caractères gras : 1, 2, 3… (= 5 words per page, not more)
Sec. 2: itàlicized: chiffres en italique : 1, 2, 3 … (= 5 words a day or per page)
Sec. 3: ùnderlined: chiffres soulignés : 1 , 2 , 3 … (= 4, or 5 words a day)
Sec. 4 : hòllow style: chiffres évidés : 1, 2, 3. (= 3, 4, or 5 words per page)
Sec. 5: + apòstrophe: avec apostrophe : 1’, 2’, 3’. (= 3, 4, or 5 words per day)
20 Enrich your vocabulary with phrases (locutions): ex so to speak, now and then, etc.
21 This daily 10 min. will make sure you master the Basic Words after you leave Sec. 5.
22 Note : your teacher will probably like covering a few pages, once in a while, for the
conversation period to help you make correct sentences from the many examples.
( Questions : What, when, where, why? / Forms : +, –,? / New subject , verb, object /
Use a synonym , a phrase, etc. / – This “Speaking period” will seem too short to you!
23 And refer to your DICTIONARY every time you need it. At its end, you’ll also find 15
practical grammar TABLES (Tableaux) . – Good luck! you’re building on solid rock!
