iTHINK - Issue 7

Bu konuda

Did you know that the romantic Valentine’s Day has its origins in blood and violence?

Would it surprise you to know that throwing tomatoes, oranges and even eggs at one another is considered a way to celebrate?

And, has it ever occurred to you that the many religious celebrations in the world may not be as different as they seem? Welcome to our issue of festivals and celebrations!

We explore the many fascinating festivals and celebrations around the world, while we make you wonder if such festivities do little more than waste resources and help the greeting card companies.

And this time, in Wanderlust, we take you to the Witches’ Market in Bolivia, South America, where our traveller experiences a Harry Potter scene of sorcery.

Join the read, and paint the town red!

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.
