For example:-unit 1st is based on dialogue to motivate students for study .
Unit 2nd is based on actual importance of education.
So ,every unit has varied pre-tasks like stroies,information,dialogue,some pictures and asking question to the students.
READING-
In l unit reading is based on moral stroies like message from the moon,lesson for theLion ,information,history,economy etc ..,
Glossary-which explian meaning in target language.
Practice:-it included six types of practice .for example,unit 4th proniciation is based on words practice in which proniciation of words are same but meaning and spellings are different,unit 6th vocabulary task is given we have to select right words for right answers,unit 7th comprehension is based on give answers in “yes” or “no” and complete sentences,unit 9th grammar where we have to indetify write option,unit 13th activities is based on video conference,relating to discipline,exams,fashion,watching tv ,unit 15th writing is based on measurement of rooms and write about that details.

Materials for testing language skills
:-at the end of each five unit ,there is one model paper for reading and writing skill in class 9th standard.There is no any task for listening and speaking skill practice only read paragraph and give answers,read dialogue and complete it.

Layout :-if we look at appearance of class 9th english text-book we will not find and new changes in it .in each unit there is a small pictuers and it is not in colourful design which attract students to read lessons and look into.



Implication
:-if compare old text book of class 9th standard we definitely find some changes,we get practice of grammar,vocabulary,reading,writing,activity task but there is no listening and speaking task available.over all this text-book would change attitude of students towards study and they will enjoy learing.
