Book excerpt: Theme-based learning is a way of teaching and learning, whereby many areas of the curriculum are connected together and integrated within a theme. For Chinese International exams, like IGCSE, IB, are evolving into Theme-based curriculum. Students develop the ability to communicate in the target language through the study of language, themes and texts. In this edition, we added more vocabulary and give the HSK classification, both Version 2009 and the latest Version 2021. Within each topic, the vocabulary are arranged by HSK V2021 levels. This will give teachers a guidance for difficulty level and allow students to set priority on the vocabulary they should know to read, write or both. It will also help a lot for student to do revision. Some students call them as “LIFESAVING" book before their examinations.
