Preparation Activities: These activities revolve around the lesson topics, encouraging students to speak and warm them up for the following listening and speaking exercises.
Listening and Speaking Practice: This section includes two listening materials and two speaking activities, designed to develop students' listening and speaking skills. It contains two exercises:
1. Listening Tasks aim to cultivate students' ability to understand the overall message and extract specific information, enabling them to grasp the main ideas of the text and the author's emotions.

Part C: Additional Listening
At the end of the lesson, additional listening materials are provided, including dialogues, short passages, or dictation exercises related to the theme. Some lessons also include mini-dialogues similar to those in the CET-4 and CET-6 exams.
Extracurricular Listening
An extracurricular listening passage or a compound dictation exercise is provided.
To enhance the course's engagement, odd-numbered lessons include elements such as songs, proverbs, humor, or quotes from famous figures.
Additionally, two sets of comprehensive tests are included at the end of the book to assess students' listening proficiency.
