iTHINK - Issue 1

In this issue

Whether you are at the starting or middle point of teenhood, there is no denying that this period of your life is one of much excitement and much confusion. It is a time when you find yourself, your identity and individuality.

That’s why we have decided that this inaugural issue of iThink will focus on teen identity matters, matters very close to your heart. From tattooing and body piercing to bullying and peer pressure to teen-parent tensions and stolen identities, you will find many articles that you can identify with. In this issue, we also take a closer look at the identity crisis of the modern Asian teen who is bombarded with both Eastern and Western influences.

We offer you light moments too, with our in-house fashion guru providing invaluable fashion tips in ‘Fashionista Says’, fascinating bites of information scattered throughout the various sections and tickling moments in our ‘Tickle-Tickle’ jokes!

We hope you will enjoy reading all the great articles here. And, remember to find yourself and discover much more while you are at it!

iTHINK Magazine Description:

The iThink magazine is a most interesting read to boost the language and critical thinking skills of the upper- secondary students (and high-ability lower-secondary students). With an engaging mix of thought-provoking articles and lighter stimulating reads, iThink is the one-stop solution to making reading both a leisure and an intellectual pleasure to students.
Content in each issue is organised according to a theme, which could range from a Food Issue to that of Science and Technology, and History and Art. We provide an in-depth exploration of issues that relate to the theme, accompanied by thought-provoking questions, word banks and sources for further reading or viewing (YouTube video links). In each issue, you will also find regular articles on travel (Wanderlust) by our ever-wandering travel writer, a life story of at least one inspirational person (Inspire-Aspire), a discussion on common language errors (Ask GRAMMAr), student essays with comments by the editor (Model Me & Tweak Me) as well as a smattering of trivia and pictorial idioms, making for a more enriching reading experience. Student worksheets at the end of the magazine serve as a good workout for the students.
Any student who appreciates an engaging take on language education and critical thinking would love an issue of iThink.
