iTHINK - Issue 3

この問題で

One Direction and Bruno-Mars. Bill Gates and Cristiano Ronaldo. Superman and Ironman.

What do they have in common? They are people whom we admire, even aspire to be. They are our heroes and idols. Some fans, in their delusional states, go as far as putting them on a pedestal and believing they would do no wrong.

Find out why we can be idol-crazy and test yourself on how much you know about the accolades your favourite teen idols have earned. Read about how some idols fall from grace, as one teenager discovers, and be ready to be startled by some of the unfortunate turn of events in the lives of popular stars.

Get a fresh perspective on heroines as we explore the changing role of heroines in the movie-world and learn about how Superman was not just a hero in his reel life but also in his real life.

Be amazed by freedom-fighter heroes who fought relentlessly for justice to prevail and journey with us to the fascinating land of heroes, the fantasy world where hobbits, drawfs and elves co-exist.

Let this issue inspire you as it jets you to the enigmatic world of Idols & Heroes.

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.
