Features: This four-book set consists of fifty lessons, covering almost all key points of English grammar, from the basic verb "to be" to the subjunctive in clauses after the verb "wish." These fifty grammatical points are each paired with fifty common communicative strategies, providing practice and application in various communicative contexts. This is the main advantage of the set. While focusing on the grammar-communication thread, the authors have also not overlooked their own language proficiency. Each lesson includes components such as listening, reading, and pronunciation, showing a comprehensive consideration of students' language skills. The "Gazette" (appearing every three lessons) offers culturally rich reading materials in flexible and diverse formats. Whether a textbook is recognized or popular depends largely on whether teachers find it easy to teach. However, its clear organization makes it very user-friendly, with each lesson's main components easy to identify. Compared to some imported textbooks that are overly elaborate in their layout, this can be considered another of its advantages.
