Features: This four-book set contains fifty lessons, covering almost all key points of English grammar, from the basic verb "to be" to the subjunctive in clauses following the verb "wish." These fifty grammatical points are each paired with fifty common communicative strategies, allowing for practice and application in various communicative contexts. This is the main advantage of the set. While focusing on the grammar-communication thread, the editors have also not overlooked their own language proficiency. Each lesson includes components such as listening, reading, and pronunciation, demonstrating a comprehensive consideration of students' language skills. The "Gazette" (appearing every three lessons) provides students with 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 immediately apparent. Compared to some imported textbooks that are overly elaborate in their layout, this can be considered another of its advantages.
