Author : kjhcihbwwbg
Publisher : wijhfnwycgwgcbg SND BHD

The size of the text book is averagely normal. It has the size of an ordinary text book like most other text books in Malaysia. The book is not too heavy. However, I really think that it would be better is he book is made in a smaller and more compact size. Not only it will reduce the weight and make students easier to carry the book anywhere, it will also make the book to look cuter and it will surely be more interesting.
The book uses an easy to read font that enable the student to read well without having to figure out what are they looking at. They can simply recognize the text that they are reading. The style is also appropriate and it really suit for a form five students.
The students need not to worry about the durability of the book. The book is well binded to ensure that it can last long. As for the cover, the cover is not hard but still able to prevent the book from being out of good condition. No matter how tough the book is, students are advised to wrap their book to ensure that he book will always be in a good condition.
The book has a wonderful layout. The publisher managed to arrange the content I this book very beautifully. The page layout is uncluttered and balanced which makes the students easy to find what they want from the book.
The book is fun and great. It is easy and is not hard for students to understand. However, still there are plenty of rooms for improvement.

The content of the text book is really interesting. It can be said as a very user friendly English text book for a form five student. The content of the book surely is suitable and it does meet the local and national standards. The text book is also accurate and up to date. It contains 15 chapters all over which touches various aspect in today’s complicated world. The examples of the topics are people, environment, science and technology and many other interesting topics. The topics in the text book is also well supported and related to other subjects’ text book as much of the topics touches on the book is related to science. Some of the topics also related to history. These clearly mean that students can always refer to other books if they want to know more about any topics.
The book was made for the form five students. The language used in the book is surely appropriate enough for a seventeen years old student. It is easy to understand and it is also very interesting. It has no problems with the grammar used in it. The content is very clear and easy. The reading part of the book is suitable for a form five student as it is not too long and hard. Students will be easily able to understand the text without any problems.
By using this book, student will be able to know their level of understanding as the book also provides end-of-lesson questions and quizzes for each and every topics. The topic in the book also made the students to experience other subject areas.
However, by just following the text book all way around, it will block the students from engaging in active learning. Some students may but only if the students are given opportunities by teacher. If the teacher uses the book very effectively, students should be able to master and enhance all the four major skills of English which are speaking, reading, listening and writing. Many other extra ‘ingredients’ needs to be add up by the teacher to attract the student interest to learn the subject.
From my opinion, the contents of the book have failed to encourage students high level thinking ability as all were already given up to the students. They need not to think much anymore.
Nevertheless, another good thing of this book is the content will be always relevant and can be use at any time. I am totally agree that the book can still be use several years more from the date it was first published.
