合作学习
Personally I like studying in groups.
When studying in groups we can learn from each other, share our experiences in solving difficult problems and learn more in less time. In the past I seldom had the confidence to discuss study topics with my classmates. I also had little enthusiasm for studying as I found it very boring. But following my teachers' advice I joined a study group and to my surprise my performance in class was improved greatly. Studying became more enjoyable and something I looked forward to doing, as I was able to learn from as well as help others.
So for me, studying in groups is by far the most effective way to learn. 独立学习
Personally, I prefer to study alone. I find studying alone more challenging and exciting.
Each time I come up with an idea after long time thinking, I feel a great sense of achievement. Studying alone also allows me to develop independent thinking which is a very important skill I need as I grow older and must solve the problems myself without the help of parents and teachers. Our teachers often encourage us to study in groups. I enjoy my friends' company, but in-group study, I find we spend far less time studying and more time playing games and having fun.
It is for these reasons that I believe the most effective way to learn new knowledge is by studying alone.

The topic of my speech today is ―Being a Good Listener‖.
Good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpersonal relationship. Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children, so they will understand them better, and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students, then they can meet their needs better, and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn from each other, and a friendship is likely to be formed.
What I want to stress is that each of us should listen to others. Show your respect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be open-minded to different opinions even though you don‘t like them. In a word, good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other.
Thank you for your listening!

话题九：计划与愿望 Plans and intentions
假定你是李华，你的笔友Josh给你写了一封电子邮件，询问你即将到来的暑假的计划。请根据提示，给Josh回一封电子邮件。 内容要点：1. 你的近况；
2．暑假的打算及理由； 3．邀请Josh来中国参观。
注意：1. 回信应包括以上所有提示的信息，做到行文连贯，不要逐字翻译。 2．词数120字。 Dear Josh,
Now, I‘m busy studying for the College Entrance Examination in June and I‘m confident of being admitted by an ideal university.
As this summer holiday is long, I have some plans. College life must be plentiful but reading is the most important thing. So I‘d like to read. Reading can help me get a good habit when I become a freshman. Once I get into the college, I must do the things for myself, including washing and clearing the room. So I‘ll help my parents do some housework during the holiday. However, reading and housework don‘t mean all of my holiday. I need contact with my friends and communicate with them. As we all know, true friendship is worth more than money.
I hope that you‘ll come to China for a visit.
假定你是李华，你的朋友Peter在QQ给你留言，他想在你们学校附近办一个“After-school Class”的英语提高班，并就此征求你的意见。请根据以下提示给他写一封回信。 1．建议（办口语班）； 2．理由；
3．考虑事项（时间，对象，费用等）。
注意：1. 信的开头与结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3．词数120字左右。 Dear Peter,
It‘s a good idea to run an ―After-school Class‖ for students to study English together. In my opinion, you‘d better focus on the learners‘ ability of speaking English. Most of Chinese students‘ ability of speaking English is quite low. You know, more and more students choose to study abroad after they graduate from middle school, and it‘s just because they want to study English in a real English culture. So it‘s nice for them to be with a native speaker. As for the students‘ level, I think Senior 3 students can be more interested, because they have a strong desire to learn more about the culture of other countries, making good preparations for work. And there are some other things you need to consider, such as the tuition, the length of the course and so on.
I hope it will be helpful to you.
Yours, Li Hua
10. 节假日活动（Festivals, holidays and celebrations） Summer Holiday Part-time Job
During the summer holiday of 2009, I thought I should do something meaningful instead of staying at home and watching TV. So I got a job at a KFC fast food restaurant and worked there as a cleaner. Every day I went to work early in the morning and got home late in the evening. I worked 7 hours a day for three weeks.
The job was hard, boring and seemed endless, which made me so tired that I almost quit half way. After all, I stuck to it with my determination. Finally, I finished the job before the new school term began. Now, I understand what labor means. I think it was really a successful experience. 一年一度的寒假即将来临，《中学生英语》杂志准备出版专刊“快乐寒假”。因此，请你写一篇英文稿件。你的叙述须包含下列要点：1、往年寒假难忘的一件事（过程及感想）；2、今年寒假的打算（至少3点，娱乐、学习等）；3、你的愿望。
The winter holiday we are looking forward to is drawing near. The past holidays brought me many wonderful
12
memories. The most unforgettable experience is the party held two days before the Spring Festival last year to celebrate the golden wedding anniversary of my grandparents. Before the party, I made a careful plan for it with my parents. All our relatives got together for this special occasion when my cousins and I gave my grandparents some nice handmade presents. My grandparents were so happy that they sang and danced like young couple.
As a Senior 3 student, the coming winter holiday is sure a busy one. I‘ll make good use of it to work hard at my lessons, getting ready for the college entrance examinations. I‘ll also try to spare some time to do some exercise to keep fit. In addition, I can watch my favorite TV programs with my parents, especially on the eve of Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival, I‘ll visit my grandparents and help them prepare good for the family get-together.
I hope I‘ll have a joyful and fruitful holiday.

I went to Beijing with my parents and visited many places of interest. The winter of Beijing was beautiful. We visited the Great Wall, the Water Cube and so on.
In a word, I had a wonderful time. I think the holiday is meaningful for me. I learned what I could not get from books. And the most valuable thing is that I have learned how to make use of my time in a proper way. I also know the importance of teaching myself. I taught myself English. As you know, my English is not so good.
假设你刚刚参加了一次―伦敦游学‖活动, 请根据以下五幅图的先后顺序, 写一篇英文汇报, 在班内介绍你们游学的过程。
Good morning, everyone. It was an honor to have been selected to go on a study tour to Britain. On the morning of March 27, we arrived at Heathrow Airport where we were warmly welcomed by our home-stay families. Soon we went to different families where we had traditional English food and chatted happily. Later we went to Westminster College to attend a presentation about the school. A professor gave us a vivid and interesting introduction and we learned a lot about that college. In the following days, we visited some famous scenic spots such as Big Ben and London Eye. We took many photos there. On the last day we had a farewell party at which students from China and Britain gave fantastic performances including songs and dances.
From the study tour, we have improved our speaking skills, and also we‘ve got a better understanding of British culture.

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 the most important is perhaps its convenience. People don't have to waste a lot of their energy and precious time to go from one shop to another to choose the products they like. This is especially desirable to the old, the sick and the busy people who cannot go to the shops in person. 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. The products they order will be delivered to them rapidly.
However, shopping on the Internet also has its disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that consumers can't see the goods or try them on 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. 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.
购买衣服的经历与建议
以约120个词谈谈你购买衣服的经历，内容包括： (1)你对作者关于购买衣服建议的看法； (2) 你的一次购买衣服的经历； (3)你对购买衣服的建议。
How to buy clothes at a discounted price or cheapest price, I advise the best time to buy the satisfactory goods to save money.
As a teenager， I haven‘t got any income to pay for the high cost of the fashionable clothes in season. Personally what I should do is to spend money I get from my parents effectively.
During the winter vocation I went shopping with a good friend of mine. I‘d like to buy a pair of jeans. After I went through some trousers shops， fortunately, I found a desirable and fashionable kind of jeans. I tried them on and they fitted me very well. However, to my disappointment, the price was much too high, and they cost 300 yuan. At that time, I knew I couldn‘t afford it, but I believed I would come again during the Spring Festival when some clothes are sold at the discounted price. Finally I got it for 150 yuan.
In my opinion, when we buy clothes, we should wait until a holiday comes when many goods were sold at a discounted price.

As we all know, we are what we eat. Therefore, it‘s very important for us to form healthy eating habits. However, bad eating habits are still very common among us students. Some of us often go to school without breakfast; some like to have snacks; some others are particular about food and still some eat or drink too much. All these bad habits will surely do harm to our health.
To keep fit, we should have various healthy diets, which generally include proper amounts of fish, meat, vegetables, fruit as well as main food. Besides, we‘d better have meals regularly.

你从电视上看到美国正流行甲型H1N1流感(A/H1N1 flu），部分学校停课。你为你正在美国上学的笔友Mike的健康与安全担心。 ［写作内容］
请给Mike写一封email，内容包括： 1.建议
(1)尽量呆在家里，少去人多的地方；(2)勤洗手，讲卫生；(3)多开窗，保持空气新鲜；(4)多吃水果蔬菜。 2.安慰他不要担心. Dear Mike，
From the TV I know many A/H1N1 flu cases are reported recently in the United States and many schools are closed as a result. I‘m so worried about you. Are you all right? Are there any HINI flu cases in your school? To stay away from the disease, you‘d better stay at home as much as possible and not go to places where there are many people. Besides, you should wash your hands more often so as to keep them clean. Also， keeping the windows open to have more fresh air in the room is helpful. And above all, it does a lot of good to you if you eat more fruit and vegetable, for doing this can help keep you fit and strong.
The disease is not so deadly as it seems to be， so do be at ease! Take care and you‘ll be OK.
Yours truly， Li Hua
面对挫折(setback）时如何保持心理健康
以约120词就―面对挫折(setback）时如何保持心理健康？‖发表看法，内容包括： (1)请举例描述你遭遇过的挫折； (2)你是怎样看待挫折的？
(3)请就面对挫折如何保持心理健康提出一些建议。
I came across many setbacks in my study and life. For example, I failed in my math final exam when I was in Senior One. Knowing the result, I cried hard. I analyzed the situation and studied harder. With all my efforts and the help of others, I finally became good at math and passed many exams.
In my opinion, setbacks are harsh teachers, but the lessons we learn from them can be invaluable. When setbacks happen， we should be brave and stay optimistic. It is a good way to relieve the pain to turn to our trusted ones for comfort, see a funny movie, listen to music, or visit a beautiful place. After we cool down, maybe we can gain something out of this painful experience.
话题13 健康Health
Write a passage about 100 words with the title ―How to keep healthy‖
Good health is the most valuable possession one can have. We cannot take health for granted, because once we lose it, it is difficult to regain. In my opinion, in order to stay in good shape, we should eat proper foods, get enough sleep and take exercise regularly.
Eating the right foods is very important. We should eat plenty of foods that are high in protein and vegetables that are rich in vitamins and minerals.
Enough sleep is of vital value to one‘s health. Only when you have got enough sleep, your body will be energetic to face challenges every day.
Regular exercise is also helpful for one to keep fit. It can prevent you from gaining weight. It can also expand your life span if you can take exercise regularly.
The Way to Stay Healthy
Health is most important for any of us. ]n order to stay healthy, we need some common knowledge.
First]y, pay attention to the diet. We should eat lots of fruit and vegetables, because they are rich in fiber and low in fat. As a proverb says, \So fruit is good for health. Don＇t have a lot of food that contains too much fat, such as butter. Meanwhile, sweets should be eaten in proper quantity, because too much sugar does harm to us. Don＇t drink too much coffee, either.
