Additionally, the difficulty is appropriately increased during the writing process, expanding vocabulary to adapt to long-term use after curriculum changes. The difficulty of the articles is indicated by stars: ★ represents simple, ★★ represents more challenging, and ★★★ is an advanced section, exceeding the content of current textbook versions. Through repeated thought and effort, students can solve some of the questions, gaining a sense of achievement. All answers are unique.
