In the revised edition, negative forms of adjectives and noun phrases that are more common in everyday life have also been updated. The number of communicative practice material such as dialogues have been increased to give students more grammar practice and the readings in the Reading and Writing section have also been updated to make them more relevant to modern Japan.
