Features: This book consists of ten units, each containing two texts. It emphasizes the training of basic language skills and the development of practical language abilities. Therefore, a large number of exercises are provided after each text, including Answering Questions (Comprehension Questions), Topic Discussion (Topics for Discussion), Vocabulary, Cloze, Translation, and Writing. Each unit also includes a feature that highlights the book's writing skills (Writing Skills). This section introduces writing skills for common genres, accompanied by model papers, requiring students to conduct writing exercises after class to further improve their practical English skills. Each unit also adds additional materials (Additional Work) and proverbs (Proverbs). The additional materials include three parts: Idiom Learning, Vocabulary Supplement, and Reading Appreciation. The idiom and vocabulary exercises are unrelated to the texts and are mainly intended for students with a solid language foundation or those who wish to take international English exams. Reading Appreciation mainly introduces the origins of some English idioms and literary works such as prose and poetry to enhance students' literary cultivation. Proverbs are usually related to the text content and aim to deepen students' cultural understanding.
