Book Reviews of Oxford Picture Dictionary English-Chinese: Bilingual Dictionary for Chinese speaking teenage and adult students of English
Book Review: A good resource
Summary: 4 Stars
While reading this, it does seem odd at times, as though it was actually written for Chinese-speakers learning English, but it is still a valuable resource.
Problems: No pinyin. All traditional-form characters.
Obviously, although this is a great resource with 4,000 useful terms, it isn't complete. (The Chinese have three different, common ways to say "week" and this guide includes only one.
Although it can be basic, I would say that it's usful for all skill levels. Whether you're learning English or Chinese, unless you've got a doctorate in your target language, this book will have terms you don't know. This book identifies a subject and exhausts all the possible terms. Animals, Science, Plants, Computers, Crime, Natural Diasters, Clothes, etc. There are English terms in here I've never heard.

Summary of Oxford Picture Dictionary English-Chinese: Bilingual Dictionary for Chinese speaking teenage and adult students of English
Content is organized within 12 thematic units, including Everyday Language, People, Housing, Food and Recreation. Each unit starts with an Intro page (new to this edition) and ends with a story page, with single or double-page sub-topics introducing new words in a realistic visual context and easy-to-learn "chunks." The target new vocabulary is listed and simple practice activities help students put their new words into practice. Story pages include pre-reading questions to build previewing and predicting skills and post-reading questions and role-play activities to support critical thinking and to encourage students to use the new language they have learned. Rich visual contexts recycle words from the unit. This structure is designed to address the needs of multilevel classrooms. Supporting components include more guidance on this topic as well as assessing needs and lesson planning. (available in English only).Chinese Books
