CONTENT

Book Title : ENGLISH TEXT BOOK Form5
Author : nvebhrbcrehg
Publisher : rjhfchrhjrhcre SND BHD

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.
