English is one of my best subjects and I started learning English when I was ten years old. But at the very beginning, listening seemed a little difficult for me. So I have been doing a lot of listening practice, such as listening to tapes, watching English TV programs. And I found it really helped a lot. In fact, there are some more helpful ways to learn English well. For example, I enjoy singing
English songs and I want to join an English club or find a pen pal from English-speaking countries. I believe that nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it。 十三、 如何减压让生活更美好

Less Pressure, Better Life Hello, boys and girls!

Li Hua spent too much time playing computer games and he fell behind others. As a good friend of his, I must do something to help him。
Firstly, I think it’s very important for him to learn lessons well. He should spend most of his time on his study instead of computer games. Secondly, I must tell him that playing computer games too much is bad for his health, especially for his eyes. So he must give it up. I can play more sports with him after school. Maybe he will become more interested in sports than computer games. And then I'll ask him to concentrate more on his study. Of course, I will try my best to help him with all his subjects. I think I can do it in many fun ways and let him find much fun in studying. At the same time,
I'll ask both his parents and our teachers to help him, too. If I try these, I'm sure he will make great progress soon。 十五、怎样学好英语

movies is also helpful to us. Second, we should speak English in class as much as possible. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. The more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make. We'd better join the English club and practice with others. Third, we can read more English newspapers and magazines. It’s good for us. At last, we should recite some good passages and keep diaries。 In a word, as long as we do more listening, speaking, reading and writing, we will learn English well。

Leifeng was known as a pattern that offered help to others selflessly. He devoted all this life into his beloved career as well. I, myself, was totally shocked by his character。
Such is human nature; people trace the good, water flows to low. Everyone should copy his sprit as our daily life goes instead of uttering a meaningless slogan “learn from Leifeng, our decent idol”， so that we could definitely see a lot more smiling faces rather than conflict。
To help others is not a hard thing, however, what you need is to consist doing it. Take myself as an example. I am the representative of Math, to collect homework is my daily task, however, I would turn them to the right page for shorten the time for teachers when correcting them。 I strongly propose that we shall see a better world if each of us treat Leifeng as our model and copy his spirit。

No matter how hard I tried, I still couldn’t do well in it and almost gave it up. As soon as my English teacher found my problem, she had a talk with me about how to learn English well. Since then, she has kept helping me. Little by little, I’ve become interested in English and I’m good at it. I think I am so lucky to become one of her students. I’ve learned a lot from her. I will try to help others when they are in trouble. I think it is a happy thing to help others。 十九、 低碳生活

Low-carbon life is good for everyone. To help with the environment, I always walk or ride a bike to school instead of taking a car. Besides, I will try to use things that can be recycled and I never forget to turn off the lights when I leave the classroom. I think it’s my duty to live a low-carbon life. And even the simplest activities can make a real difference to the environment. So I suggest we should reuse books as long as possible. And we’d better not spend much money on expensive
clothes. If everyone does something for the environment, I believe the earth will be a better place。

I'm afraid I've got a big problem recently. My mother talks too much to me. She always tells me，“Be careful while crossing the street。” “Put on more clothes。” “Did you do a good job at school?”And so on. I'm annoyed(烦恼)。What shall I do? Alice 例文 Dear Alice，
As a teenager，I met the same problem as you. But now I can get along better with my mother. Here are some ideas for you。
Your mother talks much，because she cares about you. Maybe it's not a good way，but it shows your mother's love. So I think you should listen to her. If your opinions are different from your mother's，you can communicate with her，and tell her what you are thinking about。 If your mother doesn't take your advice，just keep silent and give her a smile。
I hope what I say here can help you a lot。 二十二、关于中学生使用手机 参考作文： Dear Editor，
Nowadays mobile phones are becoming more and more popular among the middle school students. Some students think that it is easy to use them to keep in touch with parents and classmates.Also，they can be used to listen to music or take photos. But others think that we don't
need to talk with parents and classmates with mobile phones，because we meet them every day. And mobile phones may influence our study。
In my opinion，it's not wrong to follow the fashion，but the most important thing is how to use the mobile phone in a right way。 二十三、 网上购物 Shopping Online

You may find the color of the article is different from what you want，or the size is either too small or too big. If you want to be different，you'd better not buy clothes online. Once you put on the clothes you bought online and go out，you will find many people wear the same clothes in the street。
So you must be careful，because everything has two sides。 二十四、初中生活的回顾
