Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later__starters__are__often__long__listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This selfimitation(模仿) leads on to deliberate(有意的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech. It is a problem we need to get out. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world.Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however, whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds. 【解题导语】 本文讲语言学习从听开始,听得越多,讲得越好。婴儿起初的声音不算语言,而是一种情感的表达。但从何时开始算是语言并不重要,因为这个转变是个渐变过程。孩子即使开始讲话,他们始终还是喜欢模仿。 1.Before children start speaking,what is greatly different? A.The amount of listening. B.The quality of listening. C.The sound of listening. D.The meaning of listening. A 解析:细节理解题。由文章开头第二句可知。 2.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means one can________. A.be hard to speak fluently B.begin to speak quickly C.start with listening D.often take a long time in learning to listen properly D 解析:句意理解题。由画线句子可知,开始讲话越晚,学听的时间就越长。 3.The underlined word “these” refers to “________ ”. A.pain B.happiness C.kindness D.all of the above D 解析:代词指代题。根据“as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on”可知答案。 4.According to the writer, we can draw a conclusion that ________. A.children are fond of imitating B.parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds C.children get more experience of the world without imitation D.children’s use of words is often meaningless A 解析:细节理解题。根据文章最后一句的前半句可以推断出,孩子始终喜欢模仿。 Ⅳ 完形填空 In this world,there are more than 365 million people whose native language is English.

It needs to spend a considerable time before you could speak or write the English language. There are only two ways to learn the English language or any other language you prefer. The first one needs a lot of money because of the requirements needed. If you notice, a person migrated(移民) to another country and stayed there for a couple of years and then going back to his home nonnative speaking country, the person became so familiar in speaking English. This is the most effective way of learning to speak and write a language unfamiliar to you. The learner learns the language because he/she is forced to do so because there is no other language being used. Not to mention that the learner should adapt to the environment. It is all started from listening. This is the process how language is acquired if you will stay long in a foreign country. The second one is the traditional way. You go to school or learning center specialized in teaching English as the second language. Obviously, this is cheaper than the first, but it needs a considerable time before you will learn to familiarize the language. Today, there are different language centers offering their services for people to learn the language in your own country. They brought all the materials needed because, compared to the first one, they’re affordable and reasonable. Nowadays, learning English as the second language is one of the global trends. Since the English language is used in most of the business transactions, you should be on it too. Otherwise you will not go along with the future trends that will arise. 【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了英语学习的两种方法,一种是到说这种语言的国家去生活几年,在这种环境下你会很快学好这门语言,但这种方式费用太高了;另一种是传统的学习方式,就是在学校里花大量的时间学习,或上培训班,这是个费时但大部分人都负担得起的方式。无论怎样,学习英语是大势所趋,是未来工作的需要。 1.Now an affordable way to learn a foreign language but not to go abroad is to________. A.go to a foreign language school B.study in a language center C.communicate with more people D.invite a foreigner as a teacher B 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的第四句“Today, there are different language centers offering their services...”可知答案为B。 2.The last paragraph mainly tells us ________. A.the global trends of the present world B.the difficulty of learning a second language C.the most important way of learning a second language D.the importance of learning a second language D 解析:段落大意题。最后一段说明了学习第二语言是当今的一个趋势,是人人都应该做的,否则就跟不上时代的潮流了。所以这一段主要告诉我们学习第二语言的重要性。 3.From the passage we can learn________. A. learning foreign languages is easy B.there is only one way to learn foreign languages C.family environment is very helpful for learning foreign languages D.learning foreign languages is good for your future career D 解析:推理判断题。从最后一段可以判断出学习好外语对将来的就业很有好处;从第一段的第一句话可以看出A项不正确;从第一段的最后一句话可以判断B项不正确;环境对语言学习很重要,但本文没有讲到家庭环境,故C项不正确。 B When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness with me.When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend.We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors.We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:“Let’s start with a train whistle today.”We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle.Then we would read them aloud.At the end of that school year, we, too, were changed into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped. When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend.He was in despair(失望) and I was in despair.But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time.We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things.We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted.We__gave__London__to__each__other. For almost four years I have had remarkable friend.We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves.Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams.She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind.In my most interesting moments, I often think:“Yes, I must tell...”We have never met. It is such comforting companions I wish to keep.One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist(心理学家),who will only fill up the healing(愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend. 【解题导语】 全文讲述了朋友在成长过程中的重要作用。 4.In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was ________. A.become serious about her study B.go to her friend’s house regularly C.learn from her classmates at school D.share poems and stories with her friend D 解析:细节理解题。由第一段最后三句可知:作者与她的朋友分享诗歌与故事。 5.In Paragraph 2,“We gave London to each other.”probably means ________. A.our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us B.we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London C.our unpleasant feelings about London disappeared D.we parted with each other in London A 解析:句意理解题。由第二段内容可知在我们的沮丧消失后,我们分开了,我们给对方留下了自己开拓的空间。 6.According to Paragraph 3, the author and her friend ________. A.call each other regularly B.have similar personalities C.enjoy writing to each other D.dream of meeting each other C 解析:推理判断题。由第三段内容可知作者和朋友写了四年时间的信,由此可以推断她们都喜欢相互写信。 7.In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to ________. A.ask for professional help B.be left alone C.stay with her best friend D.break the silence B 解析:细节理解题。由最后一段最后一句可知,作者在最黑暗的时候喜欢一个人待着。 Ⅳ 七选五 Learning a foreign language can be interesting.1.________ In order to increase your chances of success, it is important to consider which method of language learning will provide you with the most benefits. So think about the three ways of learning a language: selfstudy at home, attending classes and online courses. The main disadvantage of learning by yourself is that there is no one available to answer your questions. One way to deal with this is to make a list of your questions and ask for the help of a native speaker of the language regularly.2.________ Learning a foreign language in a classroom is probably the most popular choice. The regularity(规律性) of the lessons will encourage you to attend classes. 3.________ In most cases, the enthusiasm of the other students may also encourage you to make progress. Online learning is the newest method of learning a foreign language. It suits both the students who prefer to learn alone and the students who may prefer to attend a class but are unable to do so.4.________ It is also possible to ask questions and to communicate with other students online. Whichever method you choose, keep in mind the reasons why you are learning the language.5.________ This will help you stay focused throughout the learning process. A.Many students prefer to learn by themselves. B.But it can also be difficult, frustrating and boring. C.You should also make sure you will benefit from it. D.You will be able to ask the teacher questions face to face. E.You may even decide to ask others sometimes to help your selfstudy. F.Online learning makes the whole process more interesting and fun. G.Your personality should be considered when deciding which method of learning to use. 答案:1-5.BEDFC Ⅰ 单句语法填空 1.(2018•哈师大附中高二月考)—Do you know if Betty will go hiking this weekend? —Betty? Never!

Other people have trouble learning a new language. How can you help yourself learn a new language,such as English?There are several ways to make learning English a little easier and more interesting. The first step is to feel positive about learning English. If you believe that you can learn,you will learn. Be patient. You do not have to understand everything all at once. It is natural to make mistakes when you learn something new. We can learn from our mistakes. In other words,do not worry about taking risks. The second step is to practice your English. You can write in a journal,or keep a diary,every day. You will get used to writing in English,and you will feel comfortable expressing your ideas in English. After several weeks,you will see that your writing is improving. In addition,you must speak English every day. You can practice with your classmates outside class. You will all make mistakes,but gradually you will become comfortable when communicating in English. The third step is to keep a record of your language learning. You can write this in your journal. After each class,think about what you did. Did you answer a question correctly?Did you understand anything the teacher explained?Perhaps the lesson was difficult,but you tried to understand it. Write these accomplishments in your journal. You must be positive about learning English and believe that you can do it. It is important to practice every day and make a record of your achievements. You will enjoy learning English,and you will feel more confident in yourself. 1.To feel positive about learning English means________. A.if you are patient,you will learn B.you can understand everything all at once C.if you make mistakes,you can learn from your mistakes D.if you believe you can learn,you will learn D 解析:细节理解题。由第二段If you believe that you can learn,you will learn.可知。 2.When you learn English,you do not need to________. A.be patient B.make mistakes C.express your ideas in English D.understand everything all at once D 解析:细节理解题。由第二段You do not have to understand everything all at once.可知。 3.What is not helpful for you to enjoy learning English? A.To communicate in English. B.To worry about taking risks. C.To think about what has been done after each class. D.To make a record of the achievements. B 解析:推理判断题。从第二段In other words,do not worry about taking risks.可知。 B “How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But “How are you?” is also an unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” expects to hear the answer “Fine”,even if the person isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are common ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”. Sometimes,people don’t say exactly what they mean. For example,when someone asks “Do you agree?”,the other person may be thinking,“No,I don’t. I think you are wrong.” It isn’t polite to disagree very strongly,then he might say,“I am not so sure.” This is a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone. People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking to other people. For example,many conversations over the phone end when one person says “I’ve got to go now.” Or the person who wants to hang up will give an excuse,such as “Someone is at the door.” or “Something is burning on the stove(火炉).” The excuse may be real,or not. The person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more,but it isn’t polite to say so. An excuse is polite,and it doesn’t hurt the other person’s feelings. Whether they are greeting each other,talking about an opinion,or ending a conversation,people often don’t say exactly what they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other,and it’s part of the game of language. 4.The passage is mainly about________. A.how to make friends with people B.some polite questions used to greet another person C.important ways of being polite to other people D.how to end a conversation C 解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要讲述的是礼貌待人的一些重要方式,故选C项。 5.If you have different opinions from someone,it is polite to say “________ ”. A.You’re wrong B.I’m not sure that you are right C.Of course,I disagree D.No,I don’t agree with you B 解析:细节理解题。由第二段最后两句可知,当不同意别人的观点时,礼貌的回答为“I am not so sure.”,B项与之最为相近。 6.Which of the following is a polite way to finish a conversation? A.I have no time to talk to you now. B.I want to stop talking now. C.I have to go now. D.I don’t want to talk any more. C 解析:细节理解题。由第三段前两句可知,“I’ve got to go now.”是结束对话的礼貌方式,C项与之最为相近。 7.According to the passage,when a person says “Something is burning on the stove”,it means that________. A.he is going to another place B.he is hurting someone’s feelings C.he is talking to a person at the door D.he is giving an excuse D 解析:细节理解题。由第三段中的“Or the person who wants to hang up will give an excuse, such as ‘Someone is at the door.’ or ‘Something is burning on the stove(火炉).’”可知,说“炉子上的什么东西烧焦了”只是一种借口,是对方想结束对话的礼貌表达。 Ⅲ 语法填空 The British have many traditions but there is nothing more quintessential(典型的) than taking afternoon tea.

One possible version: Good__morning,__everyone! In today’s world, being able to master a foreign language is helpful in our life. Here I’d like to share my learning methods. First, I think it useful to learn some grammar and remember as many useful sentence patterns as possible. Second, I believe the more we read,the better our English will be. So I spend much time reading English newspapers and magazines after class, which helps to improve my English. Besides, TV and radio programmes are of great help as well. Learning English has made me know more about foreign culture. However, sometimes I get discouraged because I keep forgetting words I have just learned. Could you give me some practical advice? Thank__you! 高考试题专题解题指导 2019届二轮复习如何让评卷老师对你的文章“一见钟情” 笔者曾参加过多年高考英语书面表达的评卷,下面我就从一名高考评卷员的角度来谈谈高考书面表达高分的标准和要求。 高考书面表达有一套完整的评分标准(网络上搜索到处都有),根据这个标准,老师是分5个档次给学生打分的,每个档次有5分的幅度,而且每个档次都有详 细的要求和标准。也就是说,评卷老师看到考生文章,首先要从整体上给该文章确定档次,即“归档”,然后再根据文章的要点、内容、语言和衔接等方面在该档次内微调(1-5分内的调整)。当然,在这个过程中也有可能根据文章的内容将该文章调高一个档次或者降低一个档次的。但是大部分情况下都是跟第一次确定的档次一致的,换言之,评卷老师第一次确定的档次基本上就是考生的文章的分数了。所以,如何让评卷老师对你的书面表达“一见钟情”,在第一次确定档次时就归档到第5档(21-25分),他的评分标准和要求是什么,这是每位想在高考书面表达中拿到高分的学生都要认真学习和充分了解的。 笔者认为,高考书面表达高分作文必须符合以下三个方面的要求: 01 卷面 考生的文章卷面就是整体呈现给评卷老师的“第一印象”,卷面整洁有序就会令评卷老师“一见钟情”。这里的卷面指两个方面: 第一, 考生所写的全篇文章不能有涂改,或者最少要保证几乎没有明显的涂改。试想假如你是评卷老师,面对一篇到处涂涂划划的文章,你会给出高分吗?所以,考生在考场上一定要先打草稿(由于时间关系,可以打简稿或腹稿),但切忌边看题目边直接在答题卡上作答,这样如果出错,就几乎没有拿到高分的可能了。 第二,文章的正文部分要进行分段(段首要留4个字母的位置)。根据对近几年高考书面表达的范文和历次模拟考试的高分作文的分析,书面表达的正文都分成三段,每段少则2-3句话,多则6-7句话。一般来说,第一和第三段稍短,第二段稍长,这样会让文章显得错落有致,给评卷老师一种美的感受。卷面切忌“一言堂”,如果从第一句到最后一句只有一个段落,就会给评卷老师一种眼前压着一座大山,有点喘不过气来的感觉,那样也就自然失去拿高分的可能了。 02 字数 高考书面表达对字数的要求是100词左右,近年来的范文也都控制在这个字数范围内。但笔者认为,高考评卷场上的很多优秀作文,不夸张地说,要比高考给出的范文出色很多,无论是遣词造句,还是语言得体等方面都要比范文更胜一筹。高考评卷场上流传一种说法,在这些优秀的文章面前,范文最多也只能打20分左右。而这些优秀的文章基本都有一个特点,字数基本都在120-130词左右,因为字数太少了,基本无法表现考生较强的语言功底和语言能力。所以,高考评卷场上的高分作文(21-25分)一般都要120词以上。但也不要超过140词,因为评卷老师毕竟还有评卷任务在身。 03 书写 漂亮的书写能给人一种赏心悦目的感受。客观来说,书写的好坏不应该作为评卷老师打分的标准之一,但实际上同样的内容用两种不同的字体写出来的文章,得分还是有差距的。“爱美之心,人皆有之”,评卷老师也是人,特别是在高考评卷场上,每人每天都要面对几百甚至上千份同上内容的文章,要是考生不能用一种漂亮的字体来书写,也是很难俘获评卷老师的芳心的,也更不可能“一见钟情”了。关于英语的书写,建议考场作文都采用近几年比较流行的“衡水体”。 以上就是笔者从一个评卷老师的角度出发谈了如何在高考书面表达中拿到高分,即,想要评卷老师对你的文章“一见钟情”,考生必须在卷面、字数和书写三方 面入手,严格要求自己,平时加强练习。当然,关于文章内容和各种句式的应用以及表达的技巧等,相信高三的一线老师在平时的课堂都是有认真讲解和教授并让同学们进行了各种训练的,这里不再赘述。 中国优秀传统文化在写作中的考察 英语融入中国优秀传统文化,学生应该积极参与中外文化的对话与交流,通过“讲好中国故事”,增强文化自觉和文化自信。在历年的书面表达中,自然融入了我国优秀传统文化内容,考生在学习外语、了解外部世界的同时,运用中国元素讲好中国故事,也考生在传承和发扬中华民族优秀文明成果的同时,增强文化自信。 2017年新课标全国Ⅰ卷 假定你是李华,正在教你的英国朋友Leslie学习汉语。请你写封邮件告知下次上课的计划。内容包括:1. 时间和地点;2. 内容:学习唐诗;3. 课前准备:简要了解唐朝的历史。 One Possible Version Hi Leslie, I’m writing to tell you about the Chinese class next week.

The following are some Chinese customs. Firstly, we greet each other by saying “Hello” or asking such questions as “Where are you going?” or “Are you busy?” to express our care. Secondly, when praised, we reply with “Oh, no!” or “I’m over-praised” to show good manners. Next, when receiving a gift, we usually say “It’s unnecessary” besides “Thanks” to show politeness and then put it away. Finally, at dinner parties, we talk loudly and touch glasses when drinking to someone’s health or success to show that we’re warm. Anyhow, different cultures, different customs. If you “Do as the Romans do when in Rome”, you’ll enjoy more of your stay here. I hope what’s mentioned above might be helpful and wish you a good journey.

I notice you’ve begun to use Chinese idioms and used most of them correctly. However, I’m afraid there is one mistake I’d like to point out. It is “无所不为”. This idiom means “do all kinds of bad things”. Are you dong all kinds of bad things at home? I guess what you were really trying to say is that you’ve got nothing to do these days. In that case, you should use “无所事事”. We usually use “无所不为” to express the idea that people dare to do anything bad, and “无所事事” to describe the situation in which people have got nothing meaningful to do. Have I made myself clear?

中国新四大发明 1.关于高铁【题目要求】 高铁给人们的出行带来了快捷和方便,请你写一篇短文简单介绍武广高铁。基本情况:1. 始建于2005年,2009年12月26日开通运营,干线全长1068公里;2. 途经湖北、湖南和广东;3. 列车时速高达350公里/小时,目前世界上最快。 主要优点:1. 武汉至广州仅需3个小时,比先前减少7个多小时;2. 高铁列车设施齐全,安全舒适。 美中不足:1. 票价偏高;2. 车站离市中心较远。 【优秀范文】 First built in 2005, the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway went into operation on December,26th,2009. Overall length of its main line is 1068 kilometers, and it goes through the following three provinces: Hubei, Hunan and Guangdong. The speed of the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway is 350km/h,the fastest speed in the world now, which makes it only three hours needed from Wuhan to Guangzhou, seven hours less than before. Besides, there are all kinds of facilities in the train, which make your trip safe and comfortable, so it is more humanitarian. However, the only fly in the ointment is that the train fare is too high and the station is quite far away from the downtown area. 2.移动支付 【题目要求】 随着微信,支付宝、银行APP等的发展想必大家都爱用他们支付购买。那么,通过网络进行的货币支付或资金流转给我们的生活带来了哪些好处呢?请你以移动支付的好处为主题写一篇英语短文。 【优秀范文】 The Advantages of Online Payment Online payment has been advocated around the world, which is the future way to pay bills. In China, Alipay is popular everywhere, even the small business can be finished by this advanced way. People play the joke that they don’t need to worry about the lack of cash. The advantages of online payment are obvious. Firstly, it saves people’s time to pay bills. The use of online payment is carried out with a smart phone. Especially when we go to the supermarket, there are always a lot of people waiting in the long line. The process of costing customers’ time is to take out the cash or use the credit card, because both customers and cashiers need to count the money or check the bills. But now the cashier can just scan the phone and the bill will be paid and the customer can check quickly. Second, people don’t have to worry about getting the fake cash. Many years ago, people were easy to get fake money as they received the change. But now, as the cash have been used less, people won’t receive the fake cash without paper money. With the development of new applications, our life will be much convenient. 3.共享单车 【题目要求】 假定你是红星中学初三学生李华。你的美国朋友Jim在给你的邮件中提到他对中国新近出现的一种共享单车“mobike”很感兴趣,并请你做个简要介绍。请你给Jim回信,内容包括: 1. 这种单车的使用方法(如:APP查看车辆、扫码开锁等); 2. 这种单车的优势;3. 你对这种单车的看法。 提示词:智能手机 smartphone,二维码 the QR code 【优秀范文】 Dear Jim, I’m writing to tell you more about the new form of sharing bike--mobike mentioned in your latest letter. It’s very convenient to use if you have a smartphone. What you do is to find a nearest mobike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike, and enjoy your trip. Compared to other forms of sharing bike, the greatest advantage of mobike is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. It is becoming a new trend as a means of transportation, which relieves the traffic pressure and does good to the environment as well. Hope to ride a mobike with you in China. Yours, Li Hua 4.网购 【题目要求】 随着互联网的发展和普及,网络购物在中国也变得越来越普遍了,甚至已经成了我们日常生活的一部分了。相信同学们身边一定有不少同学已经通过网络进行购物了,比如淘宝网等,但是网络购物究竟有何利弊呢? 请写一篇短文,谈谈网上购物的好处与坏处。 【优秀范文】 With the development of the Internet and the popularization of computers, shopping on the Internet has become a commonplace in our life. Here consumers can buy almost everything they need. Shopping on the Internet has a lot of advantages, of which themost important is perhaps its convenience. People don't haveto waste a lot of their energy and precious time to go from one shop to another to choose the commodities they like. This is especially desirable to the old, the sick and the busy people who cannot go to the shops in person(亲自). The goods come in all shapes, sizes and colors on the Internet. All they need to do is to sit in front of their computers and click the mouses(点击鼠标). The commodities they order will be delivered(运送)to them promptly. However, shopping on the Internet also has its disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that the consumers can't see the goods or try them on(试穿,试验) personally. Sometimes, the real goods may not be the same as what they have seen on the computer. The second disadvantage is that some shops on the Internet are not registered(注册). They will never deliver anything to you after they get the money from you. Once cheated, you will find that you have nowhere to go to complain. 中国传统文化 1. 祝贺信:中国象棋 【题目要求】假如你是李华,你的美国网友Peter参加中国象棋网络挑战赛获得了一等奖。请根据以下提示写一封英文电子邮件向他表示祝贺。 1) 祝贺他获奖;2) 肯定他付出的努力;3) 询问何时方便,在网上切磋棋艺。 Dear Peter, I am writing to offer my sincere congratulations Congratulations again.

[调查结果]From it we can see that 38 percent of those surveyed think it is worth the money letting children study abroad to get a better education so that they can get pay in return in the future. However, not all are for it / some are against it. 62% of them hold the view that it is difficult for young people to live and study in a foreign country.

We chatted for a while as we walked. I asked him where he would go during the holidays. He replied that he had to stay at home studying. Then I'd like to know why he didn't go out for a tour. Much to my surprise, he told me that it was just because he failed to be accepted by key universities. In my opinion/Personally/ I think, traveling during the holidays not only increase a student's knowledge of his or her motherland but also makes life meaningful. What's more, at the present time, we students are suffering a lot both at home and school. Why not go out to get relaxed. 四.通知 NOTICE To help students learn more about computers, we have invited Professor Wang from the Computer Department of Qinghua University to give us a lecture on Saturday, December 22nd.

We used to listen and take notes in class, but had no time to think for ourselves. Because we were not interested in the lessons, we often felt sleepy while listening. After school we had to finish much homework, unable to have some sports. However, things are different now. With the help of computers, the lessons are so lively and interesting that the students are active to answer the questions instead of falling asleep. As a result, we have made greater progress than before, though we spend less time doing our homework. And we can enjoy ourselves after class. The good teaching method is popular with all of us. We will try our best to study even harder. That's all. Thank you!查看更多
