The Classes English lessons are designed to establish a solid foundation for primary students. Strong focus is placed on writing, such as structural organization, context and the correct use of grammar and sentence structures. Interesting reading comprehensions are used to expand students’ vocabulary base and enhance their detailed reading ability. Compared with purely correct answers, we pay more attention to how students use knowledge to improve their thinking skills in order to become knowledgeable independent thinkers.
