This is Textbook 5 of the series. The topics involve aspects that high school students are concerned about, such as relatives, jobs, hobbies, subjects and outgoing, etc. Besides, every lesson provides plenty of exercises, including “oral language warm-up”, “difficult points” (grammar points and exercises), “practical use” (speaking and writing practice), “reading comprehension” (two articles and exercises), etc., which can effectively help students put what they’ve learned into practice.
