LỜI GIỚI THIỆU
Tài liệu này được biên soạn theo hướng mở rộng từ cấu trúc bài tập mẫu: mỗi Unit có phần lý thuyết trọng tâm, hệ thống bài tập theo chuyên đề và đáp án giải thích. Nội dung không sao chép bài đọc hay bài tập trong sách giáo khoa, mà được xây dựng mới để học sinh luyện tập sâu hơn theo chủ điểm của từng Unit.
Mỗi Unit được thiết kế theo 5 mảng chính: Vocabulary and Word Formation, Pronunciation, Grammar, Reading, Writing and Communication. So với mẫu một trang, phần luyện tập của mỗi Unit được mở rộng nhiều lần, có thêm lý thuyết, ví dụ, mẹo làm bài và đáp án chi tiết để giáo viên có thể dùng ngay trong dạy thêm, ôn tập hoặc giao bài về nhà.
Giáo viên có thể linh hoạt chia mỗi Unit thành 3 đến 5 buổi học: buổi 1 ôn lý thuyết và từ vựng, buổi 2 luyện ngữ pháp, buổi 3 luyện đọc - viết, buổi 4 chữa đáp án, buổi 5 kiểm tra ngắn hoặc thuyết trình.
