首先我们来看一道习题：
Such a loss of dignity makes them ________that they won’t talk to their parents.
(a) deny (b) refuse (c) explain (d) decide
想一想，当掌握了单词及其用法时，我们对英语的理解还有用英语进行的表达，是不是都更上一层楼了呢？新概念四不仅仅是扩大我们的词汇量，更重要的是通过讲解、通过对比、以及最后通过测验让我们不仅掌握词汇，而且准确把握词汇。
二、句法部分
新概念四教我们如何把初级的、甚至是错误的句子，写成高级的、漂亮的句子。毕竟我们表达自己需要用句子，所以句子就是我们水平的集中体现。
原文摘录：
Instead of saying: It was only in 1869, that a series of deep soundings was obtained in the Atlantic.
We can say: It was not until 1869 …that a series of deep soundings was obtained in the Atlantic.
Instead of saying: The thing that child cannot forgive is the parents’ refusal to admit these charges.
We can say: What child cannot forgive is the parents’ refusal to admit these charges.
Instead of saying: It is undeniable that all great art has this power of suggesting a world beyond.
We can say: That all great art has this power of suggesting a world beyond is undeniable.
在上面几个例子里，通过句子的变化，让我们学习到英语漂亮地道句子的构成，同时把两个句子形成对比，让我们感受到好句子好在哪里，不好的句子如何经过改 造也能成为好句子。正所谓：From bad to good, and from good to great. (从优秀到卓越)
人们平时在写作时，总是喜欢用很多好句子——漂亮地道的句子，因为这样能给作文增光添彩；但如果只是机械背下的句子，放到文章里难免有别扭的时候。新概 念就给我们了一个方法，通过篇章去理解这个句型，去活学活用这个句型，这样以来，好的句型就能成为我们真实能力的一部分，也就真正能做到“下笔如有神”。
