内容説明
For students whose first language is not English and who wish to study at a university with an English-based curriculum, no admittance test is more important than the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). 400 Must-Have Words for the TOEFL helps you score well by arming you with the most important English vocabulary words commonly found on this crucial exam. This timely guide also encompasses the recent changes made to the test, including the emphasis on conversation and spontaneous communication to mirror the interactive nature of the classroom. 400 Must-Have Words for the TOEFL also includes:
- Activities such as paraphrasing, synonym and antonym exercises, and identifying prefixes and suffixes
- Strategies on how to incorporate new words into everyday vocabulary
- Chapters on identifying synonyms and paraphrasing sentences, roots, prefixes, and suffixes

この本のすばらしいところは、単語の抽出方法が実践的・本試験的であることです。似たような単語集としてBarron'sのEssential Words for the TOEFLがありますが、Barron'sの方が基礎的な単語が多いのに対して、わずか４００語でありながらアメリカの大学の一般教養の教科書に登場しそうな学問的な単語、例えばphotosynthesis（光合成） fossilize（化石化する）proliferation（増殖・繁殖）などTOEFLの本試験ではキーワードとなるような単語が含まれていることです。私は、先にBarron'sのEssential Words for the TOEFLをやって基礎的な単語を抑えてからこの本をやりました。ちなみに本試験iBTのリーディングのパートは９割得点でした。

A review on the 400 Must-Hav Words for the TOEFL
2007/6/10
形式:ペーパーバック
This book does offer a nice variety of academic vocabulary. The fact that it is not only organized by academic discipline, but also by theme is a real bonus since iBT TOEFL draws topics from various disciplines. It also provides grammar and usage in the context of a text. This allows the learner to experience the "target words" in context. It's well done.

A useful book which makes a false claim about itself on the cover
2011/12/1
形式:ペーパーバック
I am a professional English teacher, and have used this book with two of my students who are preparing for the TOEFL. The level of the book is kind of upper-intermediate, and the 400 words are quite useful, and your students will encounter many of them again later when they take the real TOEFL. The headwords are explained well and become even more understandable after reading the example sentences. Also, different parts of speech are given.
Sometimes it seems to me that some of the example sentences which are used to illustrate the words' use require either having lived in the US for some time ("As usual, their holidays were ruined when their in-laws' views on politics collided with their own."- In my experience not many foreign students know about the US tradition of arguing about politics during Thanksgiving and Christmas), or heavy use of a dictionary ("Before injecting a painkiller, the dentist rubbed CLOVES on a woman's GUMS to NUMB them."- I don't think things should be dumbed down, but these kinds of sentences limit the usefulness of the book for self-study), or simply a teacher to stand there and explain to you the context behind such sentences. Another nice thing is that the units are short- in self study, you could go through a unit in 35 minutes and learn 10 new words with good example sentences.
To sum up, it is a good introduction to the kind of words you will see on the TOEFL if your level is not quite enough to independently sit down and start with practice tests, but is no substitute for the practice tests themselves. If your level is high enough, you may want to just take the bull by the horns.
I hate to close with a complaint, but the cover of the book proclaims that there is a complete review of roots, prefixes, suffixes and more, and there is no such thing in this book. For that reason I subtract one star, and give this book a three.
