Features: This book has the following unique points: , Lessons 1-45 in the beginner level are structured around grammar patterns, incorporating the advantages of pattern-based teaching to make grammatical rules easier to practice. At the same time, it avoids the weakness of pattern-based teaching that overlooks the social functions of language. The dialogues provided after the pattern exercises are common scenarios in real life, rather than mechanical pattern-based Q&A. Second, it emphasizes the transition from the beginner to the intermediate level, avoiding the poor continuity often found in other textbooks, which can make learners struggle and feel uncomfortable when they first enter the intermediate stage.
