Features: The book is filled with topic-based, learner-interest-sparking content, featuring global, diverse, and practical themes. The selection of topics aims to be rich, novel, and contemporary, facilitating lively discussions and exchanges. It combines language learning with learners' knowledge backgrounds and provides as much information as possible, showcasing endless scenarios of language use. The book strives to expand learners' vocabulary and strengthen their "vocabulary skills" through reading and conversation practices. The vocabulary skills referred to here mean the ability to apply learned vocabulary in real-life situations, rather than rote memorization. New and challenging vocabulary, along with a list of words to encourage mastery, are specially highlighted to emphasize the importance of understanding and learning vocabulary in context. The provision of example sentences serves the same purpose.
