Features: This book is designed to complement "New Target English" Goforit Book 3. The exercises in the book are created around the language points of each unit in the student book, featuring a variety of formats. The book emphasizes the consolidation of foundational knowledge while also including more advanced exercises suitable for students with intermediate to advanced abilities. According to Section 4 of Part II of the "English Curriculum Standards," "This curriculum advocates task-based teaching methods, guiding students to achieve task goals through perception, experience, practice, and collaborative participation under the teacher's guidance." What is the "task-based" teaching method, and how can it be reflected in evaluation and testing? This is a topic currently being discussed by many educators. Today, we have written this workbook and have accumulated some teaching experience to share with everyone for reference. During the writing process, we focused on integrating the principles of development, expansion, ideological depth, and fun, flexibility, and openness. Most exercises are closely related to students' daily lives, allowing them to practice vocabulary, grammar, and apply their existing language knowledge to describe their real lives and express their genuine feelings. This enables students to not only master language knowledge but also flexibly use it to complete various tasks, further enhancing their comprehensive language proficiency.
This book consists of 12 units, a mid-term test paper, and an answer key, making it suitable for use in the second semester of the first year of junior high school.
