Features: This book is one of the supplementary materials for the "English (New Target)" experimental textbook for compulsory education published by the People's Education Press. This series of textbooks was adapted through a collaboration between the People's Education Press and Thomson Learning Publishing Group based on the newly published "Goforit!" by Thomson Learning Publishing Group (USA). It adopts the Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) model, integrating topics, communicative functions, and language structures to form a progressive and life-oriented learning program. During the revision process, the editors made appropriate adjustments to the structure and content of the original book based on the "English Curriculum Standards" (Experimental Draft) issued by the Ministry of Education. They added review units, cultural background knowledge, and learning strategies, as well as increased task-based learning components and comprehensive textual input. This book is designed to be paired with the workbook for this series of textbooks, focusing on comprehensive ability testing. Each unit includes the vocabulary, grammar, and related functions learned by students in that unit. The exercises are diverse in format. It is worth mentioning that, in addition to exercises requiring students to provide correct answers, this book also includes open-ended exercises without fixed answers. These exercises guide students to answer based on their own experiences and actual situations, helping to develop their ability to use language in real-life contexts. The book consists of 10 units, with each unit featuring two sets of tests (A and B) and a final comprehensive test, intended for use in the second semester of the eighth grade.
