There are basically ten parts in a unit. The first part is "Start it up", which provides some pictures as a warm-up. The second part is "Talk it out", which is presented by dialogs. This is the main part of the lesson. The third part is "Work it out", which offers the main patterns of the lesson. The fourth part is "Listen in." The students are supposed to listen to the tape and there are some pictures for them to choose from. The fifth part is "Speak it out", in which some activities are designed for students to practice orally with their classmates. The sixth part is "Read it out." It's an extra reading material, usually very short. The seventh part is "Write it down", which is usually combined with other parts. Instead of writing a paragraph, students are required to fill in the blanks in this part. The eighth part is "Sing it out" or "Chant it out." Students can learn from songs and chants provided here. The ninth part is "Live it up", in which are some interesting extension activities. The last part is "Sound it out." Phonics and K.K. symbols are provided for students to practice their pronunciation and spelling. Note that not all the units contain these ten parts. Sometimes there may be only eight or nine parts in a unit.
The subject of the textbook covers a variety of topic, including nations, food, animals, dating, outer space, asking for directions, finding excuses, etc. These topics are highly related to life. Moreover, the material is up-to-date and thus highly related to students' interests. Therefore, the subjects can arouse students motivate to learn. The ordering of the materials done by topics is arranged in a logical way. We can observe that from the topic of the units. For example, the topic of Unit One "Where are you from?" suggested that simple present tense will be taught in this unit; the topic of Unit Three "Where were you last week?" shows the grammar point here is focus on simple past tense.
