Introduction

Review Test

Each unit opens with a simple, real-life
conversation that shows the use of the
unit’s grammar points.

After every four units, students will take a
review test. The tests will help students
recall what they have studied and assess
their understanding of the grammar
points.

Grammar Point
Two grammar boxes explain the main
grammar points in the unit. Simple charts
and corresponding pictures help students
clearly understand and easily grasp the
fundamental grammar structures that are
being taught. The grammar boxes are
followed by practical exercises and drills
that allow students to quickly check what
they have learned.

PLUS+

Simple tips about minor exceptions, useful
expressions, and word usage are provided
to give students a more in-depth
understanding of the grammar points.

Appendix
More grammar rules and information are
included at the back of the book.

Midterm/Final Test
Practice
Various exercises are presented to allow
students to review and reinforce each
unit’s grammar points and help them
gradually expand their understanding of
the grammar rules.

Grammar for Writing
This section allows students to complete a
written passage by applying their
understanding of the key grammar points.
Each unit also includes an interesting
reading passage that incorporates the
grammar points students have learned.

The midterm and final tests allow students
to evaluate their progress throughout the
course.
