人教版九年级英语课文-Unit1-5

Unit1 P 4 3a How do you learn best This week we asked students at New Star High School about the best ways to learn more English Many said they learnt by using English Some students had more specific suggestions Lillian Li for example said the best way to learn new words was by reading English magazines She said that memorizing the words of pop songs also helped a little When we asked about studying grammar she said I never study grammar It s too boring Wei Ming feels differently He s been learning English for six years and really loves it He thinks studying grammar is a great way to learn a language He also thinks that watching English movies isn t a bad way because he can watch the actors say the words Sometimes however he finds watching movies frustrating because the people speak too quickly Liu Chang said that joining the English club at school was the best way to improve her English Students get lots of practice and they also have fun She added that having conversations with friends was not helpful at all We get excited about something and then end up speaking in Chinese she said P 6 3a How I learned to learn English Last year my English class was difficult First of all it wasn t easy for me to understand the teacher when she talked To begin with she spoke too quickly and I couldn t understand every word Later on I realized that it doesn t matter if you don t understand every word I was also afraid to speak in class because I thought my classmates might laugh at me I couldn t always make complete sentences either Then I started to watch English language TV It helped a lot I think that doing lots of listening practice is one of the secrets of becoming a good language learner Another thing that I found very difficult was English grammar So I decided to take lots of grammar notes in every class Then I started to write my own original sentences using the grammar I was learning It s amazing how much this helped Now I am enjoying learning English and I got an A this term My teacher is very impressed Unit2 P 14 3a My biggest problem is that I m too busy When I was young I used to have so much time but these days I get up early and stay in school all day Then I go right home and eat dinner Before I started high school I used to spend a lot of time playing games with my friends but I just don t have the time anymore In the evening I used to watch TV or chat with my grandmother but now I have to study I love music and my father used to take me to concerts These days I hardly ever have time for concerts I do my homework and go to bed I really miss the old days Unit 3 P 22 3a The old day my friends and I talked about the rules that we have in school At our school we have to wear uniforms every day The problem is that all my classmates think the uniforms are ugly We think young people should look smart and so we would like to wear our own clothes Our teachers believe that if we did that we would concentrate more on our clothes than our studies We disagree We would feel more comfortable and that is good for studying If we can t do that we should be allowed to design our own uniforms That would be a good way to keep both teachers and students happy It s also probably a good idea for parents to allow teenagers to study in groups during the evening I know we get noisy sometimes but we learn a lot from each other We also think that vacations should be longer At present they re too short Longer vacations would give us time to do had an opportunity to volunteer at the local hospital but I couldn t because I had to go back to school It would be a good experience for me because I want to be a doctor when I m older P 23 Helping and Learning At our school we sometimes have a special day to help others Last year we went to an old people s home and sang songs and performed a play for them The old people were very happy We should be allowed to take time to do thing like that more often For example we should visit primary schools and help teach young students I want to be a teacher when I m older so it would be a great experience for me Other students would like to de other jobs For example my friend Tian Ge wants to write for a newspaper She should be allowed to volunteer at the newspaper office once a week On Friday afternoons many students are sleepy after a long week of classes Some students should be allowed to have Friday afternoons off to volunteer and help others Unit 4 P 30 3a If you answered for most questions then you are probably pretty confident Social situations don t bother you in the slightest You know what you want and you know how to get it Sometimes you might annoy people because you re so confident If you answered for most questions you are outgoing and fairly confident You have plenty of friends and you enjoy the company of other people People come to you when they want advice Your friends would probably say that you are easy to get along with If most of your answers were you are probably a shy person You like talking to one or two people rather than to a group You would also rather stay at home and read a good book than go to a party You have a small circle of very good friends Your friends would probably say you are a good listener Unit 4 P 31 Part2 Dear Knowledgeable My best friend Mei has a problem There is a really important English speech contest for our whole city next month Our classmates want her to represent the class in the school contest Everyone is sure she will win It s probably true Mei is very clever and can speak English really well In fact she always comes top in the school exams The problem a is that she s very shy She doesn t want to let her friends down but she s terrified of speaking in front of other people She s my friend so she can tell me that she s shy But she can t tell everyone that I don t think they would believe her I can t think of any good advice to give her but you al Tal s come up with good solutions to people s problems What do you think I should tell Mei rhat do you think I should tell the rest of the students Fran Unit 5 P 38 3a Strange events in Bell Tower neighborhood Our
