VOCABULARY LIST Preliminary English Test (PET)Introduction to the PET Vocabulary ListThe PET Vocabulary List gives teachers a guide to the vocabulary needed when preparing students for the PET examination.Background to the ListThe PET list was originally developed by Cambridge ESOL in consultation with external consultants to guide item writers who produce materials for the PET examination. It includes vocabulary from the Council of Europe’s Threshold (1990) specification and other vocabulary which c orpus evidence shows is high-frequency. The list covers vocabulary appropriate to this level of English and includes receptive vocabulary (words that the candidate is expected to understand but which is not the focus of a question), and productive vocabulary (words that the candidate needs to know to answer a question).The list does not provide an exhaustive list of all words which appear on the PET question papers and candidates should not confine their study of vocabulary to the list alone.How the List is UpdatedThe vocabulary of English changes over time, with words being added and other words falling into disuse. In order to maintain its currency, the PET list is updated on an annual basis by the addition and removal of words, using a corpus-based approach. Suggested additions to the wordlist are collated and the frequency of these words is obtained by reference to established corpora (electronic databases). The corpora in question represent receptive and productive language in general contexts. The main corpora used for the validation of the PET Vocabulary List are:• the Cambridge Learner Corpus (CLC) which includes over 20 million words of written learner English at six levels;• the British National Corpus (BNC) which includes 100 million word s of written and spoken native speaker data.Organisation of the List• Word setsSome categories of words a learner at this level might be expected to know are not included in the alphabetical list but are listed separately. Words formed with common affixes, some compounds and words from some common word sets, e.g. days of the week are described below and in Appendix 1. Although some ‘grammar words’ (pronouns, modals, etc.) are included, the ‘Language Specification’ section of the PET Handbook (availabl e under ‘Downloads’) should be consulted for a more complete listing.• ExemplificationExample phrases and sentences showing how words might be used are given only where words with different meanings need to be constrained e.g. the use of case is limite d to ‘suitcase’: candidates are not expected to know other meanings, such as ‘a legal case’.PET Vocabulary List 2 © UCLES 2006• Prefixes and SuffixesA list of possible prefixes and suffixes is provided in Appendix 2, and these may be combined with the vocabulary items in the list as appropriate. Words with an affix which is not included in the appendix are listed separately in the alphabetical list.• Compound WordsCompound words are not included in the list where both individual words are present and the meaning of the compound is literal and transparent, e.g. coursebook, schoolboy, shoemaker, underwater. A similar approach has been adopted with two-word and hyphenated compounds, for example, coffee bar, leisure centre, home-made, open-air.• Multi-word VerbsMulti-word verbs are not included in the list if they have a literal meaning and are composed of verbs andparticles already in the list. Examples of ‘literal’ multi-word verbs are come into, sit down, as in ‘Why not come into the kitchen and sit down?’ If the meaning of the verb is not transparent, e.g. put through, get along, then the verb is listed and an example of usage given.• Topic ListsIn Appendix 3 words have been grouped together under common PET themes, such as ‘House and Home’,‘Sport’, ‘Food and Drink’.Unsuitable TopicsCambridge ESOL examinations must not contain anything that might offend or upset candidates, potentially affect their performance or distract them during the examination. A number of ‘sensitive’ topics are co nsidered unsuitable for use in PET, for example, war and politics, and vocabulary relating to these is not included in the Vocabulary List.Personal VocabularyThe content of the PET list is general in nature and is unlikely to cover completely the productive vocabulary that may be required by all candidates. Candidates should know the specific lexis they will need to describe themselves and their lives, for example, work, hobbies, likes and dislikes.AbbreviationsAbbreviations used in the Vocabulary List are:abbrev abbreviation or acronymadj adjectiveadv adverbAm Eng American EnglishBr Eng British Englishconj conjunctiondet determinerexclam exclamationint interjectionn nounphr v phrasal verbpl pluralprep prepositionprep phr prepositional phrasepron pronounsing singularv verbSummary of Points to be noted• The list does not include every word that may appear on a PET paper.• The list covers receptive and productive vocabulary.• It is updated every year.PET Vocabulary List 4 © UCLES 2006 PET Vocabulary List 5 © UCLES 2006Aability (n) 能力able (adj) 能够about (adv & prep)大约，关于• about 500 students (adv) 大约500个学生• The film is about a smallboy.

B BY 英语VOCABULARY LISTPreliminary English Test (PET)Introduction to the PET Vocabulary ListThe PET Vocabulary List gives teachers a guide to the vocabulary needed when preparing students for the PET examination. Background to the ListThe PET list was originally developed by Cambridge ESOL in consultation with external consultants to guide item writers who produce materials for the PET examination. Itincludes vocabulary from the Council of Europe’s Threshold (1990) specification and other vocabulary which corpus evidence shows is high-frequency.The list covers vocabulary appropriate to this level of English and includes receptivevocabulary (words that the candidate is expected to understand but which is not the focus of a question), and productive vocabulary (words that the candidate needs to know to answer a question).The list does not provide an exhaustive list of all words which appear on the PET question papers and candidates should not confine their study of vocabulary to the list alone. How the List is UpdatedThe vocabulary of English changes over time, with words being added and other words falling into disuse. In order to maintain its currency, the PET list is updated on an annual basis by the addition and removal of words, using a corpus-based approach. Suggested additions to the wordlist are collated and the frequency of these words is obtained byreference to established corpora (electronic databases). The corpora in question represent receptive and productive language in general contexts. The main corpora used for the validation of the PET Vocabulary List are:• the Cambridge Learner Corpus (CLC) which includes over 20 million words of written learner English at six levels;• the British National Corpus (BNC) which includes 100 million words of written and spoken native speaker data. Organisation of the List • Word setsSome categories of words a learner at this level might be expected to know are not included in the alphabetical list but are listed separately. Words formed with commonaffixes, some compounds and words from some common word sets, e.g. days of the week are described below and in Appendix 1. Although some ‘grammar words’ (pronouns, modals, etc.) are included, the ‘Language Specification’ section of the PET Handbook (available under ‘Downloads’) should be consulted for a more complete listing. • ExemplificationExample phrases and sentences showing how words might be used are given only where words with different meanings need to be constrained e.g. the use of case is limited to ‘suitcase’: candidates are not expected to know other meanings, such as ‘a legal case’. • Prefixes and SuffixesA list of possible prefixes and suffixes is provided in Appendix 2, and these may becombined with the vocabulary items in the list as appropriate. Words with an affix which is not included in the appendix are listed separately in the alphabetical list. • Compound WordsCompound words are not included in the list where both individual words are present andB BY 英语the meaning of the compound is literal and transparent, e.g. coursebook , schoolboy , shoemaker , underwater . A similar approach has been adopted with two-word andhyphenated compounds, for example, coffee bar, leisure centre, home-made, open-air . • Multi-word VerbsMulti-word verbs are not included in the list if they have a literal meaning and arecomposed of verbs and particles already in the list. Examples of ‘literal’ multi-word verbs are come into , sit down , as in ‘Why not come into the kitchen and sit down?’ If the meaning of the verb is not transparent, e.g. put through , get along, then the verb is listed and an example of usage given. • Topic ListsIn Appendix 3 words have been grouped together under common PET themes, such as ‘House and Home’, ‘Sport’, ‘Food and Drink’. Unsuitable TopicsCambridge ESOL examinations must not contain anything that might offend or upsetcandidates, potentially affect their performance or distract them during the examination. A number of ‘sensitive’ topics are considered unsuitable for use in PET, for example, war and politics, and vocabulary relating to these is not included in the Vocabulary List. Personal VocabularyThe content of the PET list is general in nature and is unlikely to cover completely theproductive vocabulary that may be required by all candidates.

VOCABULARY LIST Preliminary English Test (PET)Introduction to the PET Vocabulary ListThe PET Vocabulary List gives teachers a guide to the vocabulary needed when preparing students for the PET examination.Background to the ListThe PET list was originally developed by Cambridge ESOL in consultation with external consultants to guide item writers who produce materials for the PET examination. It includes vocabulary from the Council of Europe’s Threshold (1990) specification and other vocabulary which corpus evidence shows is high-frequency. The list covers vocabulary appropriate to this level of English and includes receptive vocabulary (words that the candidate is expected to understand but which is not the focus of a question), and productive vocabulary (words that the candidate needs to know to answer a question).The list does not provide an exhaustive list of all words which appear on the PET question papers and candidates should not confine their study of vocabulary to the list alone.How the List is UpdatedThe vocabulary of English changes over time, with words being added and other words falling into disuse. In order to maintain its currency, the PET list is updated on an annual basis by the addition and removal of words, using a corpus-based approach. Suggested additions to the wordlist are collated and the frequency of these words is obtained by reference to established corpora (electronic databases). The corpora in question represent receptive and productive language in general contexts. The main corpora used for the validation of the PET Vocabulary List are:• the Cambridge Learner Corpus (CLC) which includes over 20 million words of written learner English at six levels;• the British National Corpus (BNC) which includes 100 million words of written and spoken native speaker data.Organisation of the List• Word setsSome categories of words a learner at this level might be expected to know are not included in the alphabetical list but are listed separately. Words formed with common affixes, some compounds and words from some common word sets, e.g. days of the week are described below and in Appendix 1. Although some ‘grammar words’ (pronouns, modals, etc.) are included, the ‘Language Specification’ section of the PET Handbook (available under ‘Downloads’) should be consulted for a more complete listing.• ExemplificationExample phrases and sentences showing how words might be used are given only where words with different meanings need to be constrained e.g. the use of case is limited to ‘suitcase’: candidates are not expected to know other meanings, such as ‘a legal case’.PET Vocabulary List 2 © UCLES 2006• Prefixes and SuffixesA list of possible prefixes and suffixes is provided in Appendix 2, and these may be combined with the vocabulary items in the list as appropriate. Words with an affix which is not included in the appendix are listed separately in the alphabetical list.• Compound WordsCompound words are not included in the list where both individual words are present and the meaning of the compound is literal and transparent, e.g. coursebook, schoolboy, shoemaker, underwater. A similar approach has been adopted with two-word and hyphenated compounds, for example, coffee bar, leisure centre, home-made, open-air.• Multi-word VerbsMulti-word verbs are not included in the list if they have a literal meaning and are composed of verbs and particles already in the list. Examples of ‘literal’ multi-word verbs are come into, sit down, as in ‘Why not come into the kitchen and sit down?’ If the meaning of the verb is not transparent, e.g. put through, get along, then the verb is listed and an example of usage given.• Topic ListsIn Appendix 3 words have been grouped together under common PET themes, such as ‘House and Home’, ‘Sport’, ‘Food and Drink’.Unsuitable TopicsCambridge ESOL examinations must not contain anything that might offend or upset candidates, potentially affect their performance or distract them during the examination. A number of ‘sensitive’ topics are considered unsuitable for use in PET, for example, war and politics, and vocabulary relating to these is not included in the Vocabulary List.Personal VocabularyThe content of the PET list is general in nature and is unlikely to cover completely the productive vocabulary that may be required by all candidates. Candidates should know the specific lexis they will need to describe themselves and their lives, for example, work, hobbies, likes and dislikes.AbbreviationsAbbreviations used in the Vocabulary List are:abbrev abbreviation or acronymadj adjectiveadv adverbAm Eng American EnglishBr Eng British Englishconj conjunctiondet determinerexclam exclamationint interjectionn nounphr v phrasal verbpl pluralprep prepositionprep phr prepositional phrasepron pronounsing singularv verbSummary of Points to be noted• The list does not include every word that may appear on a PET paper.• The list covers receptive and productive vocabulary.• It is updated every year.PET Vocabulary List 4 © UCLES 2006 PET Vocabulary List 5 © UCLES 2006Aability (n) 能力able (adj) 能够about (adv & prep)大约，关于• about 500 students (adv) 大约500个学生• The film is about a smallboy.
