Introduction: The main confusing words that we often encounter in our studies are: synonyms - they look similar and are easy to misunderstand; synonyms - they have the same meaning and are easy to use incorrectly. In view of the characteristics of these words, Niu Niu has compiled a list of word analysis tips with phonetic symbols, definitions and tips. I believe that students who have read the previous issue understand its value. It is recommended to collect it quickly and be sure to study it seriously.
Although some words are similar, they have obvious differences in pronunciation. When encountering such words, you must decisively read them out. Some words have the same root or affix.
