How to learn English well
English is important and useful to us. How can we learn it well?
Here are my suggestions.
First, we should often listen to the tapes, English songs and programs. Watching English movies is also helpful to us. Second,we should speak English as much as possible. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. The more you speak, the fewer mistakes you
’ll make. Third, we
can read more English newspapers and magazines. At last, we should recite some good passages and keep English diaries.
In a word, as long as we do more listening, speaking, reading and writing practice, I believe we can learn English well.Unit2Dear Mike,
How are you? Im really glad’ that you are interested in traditional Chinese festivals. There are many traditional festivals in China,
such as Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Day and so on. I
d
like to introduce the Spring Festival to you. Spring Festival is the most important traditional holiday in China. It usually lasts for 15 days.
Days before the festival, people clean their houses. They think cleaning sweeps any bad luck. They decorate their houses with paper cutting.
On the eve of the festival, family members
get together and have big meals. Then they watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV. At midnight, they set off fireworks to welcome the New Year. During the festival, kids
get lucky money from
old people. People visit their relatives and friends. They wish each a happy year and good luck. How happy we are! Best wishes!
Yours,

.
am growing up, things seem to change gradually that I don't realize
I hada lot of time to play before, but now nearly all my time is spenton study and homework. I used towatch cartoons, but now I prefer news and English programs. Generally speaking, things turn better. Now, I am interested in reading and writing. I think that good books I read, the more knowledge I get.
The biggest change in my life most important change.
was that I began to love sports at the age of ten. This is the
the more
Because I didn’t use to play sports after school. When I was ten years
after school. Now I
m really ’
old, I often fell ill. So my parents encouraged me to play sports interested in sports and IUnit5

Computer
Computers are becoming more and more important the computer was invented ?
The computer was invented in 1946. At that time , it was huge. With the development of
science and technology, the computer has grown smaller. Now there are many kinds of computers, such as personal computers and laptops. The computer is a very useful tool in our life.
For example , it can send some messages to foreign friends by e-mail. What's more , it
can share information with others through the World Wide Web. We play the game on computers. It makes us relax.
It’s hard to imagine what our life would be like without computers.
I think computers
can also listen to music or
in our daily life. Do you know when
will be more convenient and they are going to change our life completely in the near future.
Unit7Dear Diary,
I do not agree with the rule that I must be home for dinner every day
. This is because the
my
rule affects my social life. It takes away important opportunities for me to spend time withfriends. As a result, my life is quite uninteresting
sometimes. I think I should be allowed to
with my
have dinner with my friends once in a while. For example, I would like to hang out
classmates until after dinner on some Fridays. I wishmy parents will allow me to dothis if Ipromise not to stay out too late and if there is no important family activity on those days.

“every night we hear strange noises outside our window
”.
We now know what was happening in the neighborhoodsays that three monkeys escaped from(=ran away from)

the zoo and was still missing(=lost).
These monkeys used to be researchedin experiments by scientists in a animal lab the capital city, one of the experiments is called \"knocking-bell\in the experiments the monkeys were trained to knock bells for bananas. After they had escaped into the neighborhood, they all tried their best to knock the bell for food at meal time. That is the mystery in neighborhood, and now,
there is no more. All the people feel surprised and fun.Unit9
My favorite kind of music
is old music. I’ll Never Forget My Mom is my favorite song. I
like it because it is beautiful. The lyrics are very great. It was written byLiu Zheng. Many famous singers like Cheng Lin, Liu Hegang, and Tan Jing once sang it. When I listened to it, I thought of my mom. The mother
’s love is the greatest love in the world.
I was moved by these
lyrics. I think you should listen to it, because it can help us love our mothers more.
Unit10Dear Ivan
You must be excited about coming to China soon. Let me give you some suggestions and advice about Chinese customs. When you
’re eating at the table, it’s impolite to start eating first if
there are older people at the table. You shouldlet them start first when you are eating with chopsticks, it is impolite to point at other people with your chopsticks, it is also impolite to your chopsticks into the bowl of rice and leave them there.
In our house, you’re supposed to take off your shoes before you enter the house or just inside the front door. In our culture, we don’t usually hug or kiss people.
When you go out with people, you should tell the hostess where you are going, who you are going with and when you will come back.
In our culture, the hostess will worry a lot about
stick
the safety of her guests, so a polite guest will always let her know these things.
Have a safe trip, and I look forward to meeting
you soon!
Best wishes,Xiao Wei

After school this afternoon, on my way home I met two Americans who lost their way. They forgot the way to the hotel where they stayed. As I knew where the hotel was, I decided to take them there. On the road, we talked a lot. I told them about the great changes in the city. They told me something about the American youth as well.
When they arrived, they thanked me a lot. That made me very happy. Because I not only
helped two foreigners, but alsorealized the importance of learning a foreign language well. I think we should try our best to help each other.

My lucky day
I will always remember the date February 28, This was the luckiest day of my life.
When I woke up that morning, the sky was very dark. I took the early bus to school as usual. As soon as I arrived at school, it started to rain very heavily. Many students were late and were all wet when they got to school. But I wasn’t because I caught the early bus, I would have beenlate and wet as well!
Later that day, I realized that I had forgotten my wallet and couldn’t buy lunch. I couldn’t believe it. Then my friend Lisa said that she could share her lunch with me.
Finally, my elder brother told me that night that he could take me to the concert that Idying to attend that weekend.
I was so happy.

I think that was the best day I’d had in a long time. What a lucky day !
