As its subtitle makes clear, Life Topics stresses the most exciting part of language learning－critical thinking. The essays and exercises that make up each of the book’s 22 lessons adopt the bottom-up approach to learning, inspiring students to link what they have read to past experience and to contemplate and then discuss interesting, important, often complex ideas and issues. The language is highly accessible, simplified but all natural, and the innovative exercises build up students’ skills and confidence slowly but surely without pressure or frustration. With Life Topics, teachers become facilitators, fostering understanding and helping prepare students for real life―the goal of all true education.
