It has altogether 30 lessons in two volumes, each with 15 lessons. Volume1 consists of two parts, namely the 'textbook' and 'workbook'. The textbook is mainly used in the classroom teaching. Each lesson includes five parts, i.e., the texts, new words, the collocation and expansion of words, examples and explanations of grammar, exercises (text-pertinent exercises and comprehensive communication exercises). Based on the textbooks, the workbooks further study and practice the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing revolving around the structures, functions, culture taught in the textbooks.
