Unit 1 3a p 4 How do you learn best ?This week we asked students at New Start High school about the best_(方法) to learn more English .Many said they learnt by_(使用) it . some student had more _(明确的，具体的) suggestions .Lillian Li , for example ,said the best way to learn new words was by reading English magazines .she said that _(记忆) the words of pop songs also helped a little . When we asked about studying_(语法), she said, I never study grammar .its too boring.Wei Ming feels _(不同地). Hes been learning English for six years and _(真的)）loves it. He thinks studying grammar is a great way to learn a language. He also that watching English movies isnt a bad way because he can watch the_ （演员）say the words. _(有时候), however, he finds watching movies_（令人失望的）because the people speak too quickly.Liu Chang said that joining the English club at school was the best way to _(提高)her English .students get lots of _(练习) and they also have fun .she added that having conversations with friends was not_（有帮助的） at all .”We get_ (兴奋)about something and then end up speaking in Chinese,” she said. P6 3a How I learned to learn English Last year my English class was_(困难的) to learn English. First of all, it wasnt _(容易的) for me to understand the teacher when she talked. To_ （开始）with, she spoke too _(快地) , and I couldnt _（明白）every word. Later on, I realized that it doesnt matter if you dont understand every word. I was also _(害怕的) to speak in class, because I though my classmates might _（嘲笑）at me. I couldnt always make_（完整的）sentences, either .then I stared to watch English-language TV .It helped a lot. I think that doing lots of listening practice is one of the _（秘诀）of becoming a good language learner ._(另一件) thing that I found very difficult was English grammar .so I decided to take lots of grammar_ （笔记）in every class .Then I stared to write my own _(新颖的，独创的)sentences using the grammar I was learning .Its _(令人惊奇的的)how much this helped. Now I am enjoying learning English and I got an A this_（学期）. My teacher is very_(印象深刻的). Unit 2 p14My biggest problemMy_（最大的）problem is that Im too _(忙碌的).When I was young ,I used to have so_（多的）time ,but these days I get up _(早的) and stay in school all day . Then I go right home and eat dinner ._（在.之前）I stared high school ,I used to _(花费)a lot of time playing games with my friends ,but I just dont have the time_（不再）. In the evening, I used to watch TV or _(闲聊)with my grandmother, but now I have to study. I love music, and my father used to take me to_（音乐会）. These days, I _(几乎不) ever have time for concerts .I do my homework and go to bed .I really_（想念）the old days.Unit 3 P 22 3AThe other day, my friends and I talked about the _(规则) 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 _（丑陋的）.we think young people should look smart and so we would like to wear our own clothes .our teacher believe that if we did that ,we would _（关注）more on our clothes than our studies . We disagreed. We would feel more _(舒适的)and that is good for studying .if we cant do that, we should be allowed to _(设计) our own_（制服）. That would be a good way to keep both the teachers and students happy.Its also probably a good idea for parents to allow teenagers to study in _（小组）during the evening. I know we get noisy sometimes, but we_（学到）a lot from each other .we also think vacations should be longer .At present theyre too short .Longer _(假期) would give us time to do things like volunteering. Last summer I had an_（机会）to volunteer at the local hospital, but I couldnt because I had back to school. It would be a good experience for me because I want to be a doctor _(当的时候) Im older.P23 Helping and LearningAt our school, we sometimes have a_(特别的) day to help others .last year we went to an old peoples home and sang songs and _(表演) a play for them. The old people were very happy .we should be _（允许）to take times to do things _（像）that more often .For example, we should_ （访问）primary school and help teach _(年轻的) students. I want to be a teacher when Im older, so it would be a great _(经历)for me._（其他的）students would like to do other jobs. For example , my friend Tian Ge wants to write for a newspaper .She should be allowed to_(自愿) at the newspaper office_(一次) a week .On Friday afternoons, many students are_ （疲倦的）after a long week of classes .Some students should be allowed to have Friday afternoon off to volunteer and _(帮助) others . Unit 4 P 31Dear Knowledgeable,My best friend .Mei has a_（难题）. There is a really important English speech _(比赛) for our_ （整个）city next month .Our class wants her to _（代表）the class I the school contest. _（每个人）is sure she will win .Its probably true. Mei is very _（聪明的）and can speak English really well. In fact, she always comes_（顶尖） in the school exams. The problem is that shes very _（害羞的）.She doesnt want to_（让）her friends down, but she _（恐惧的）of speaking in front of other people.Shes my friend, so she can told me that shes shy .But she cant tell everyone that. I dont think the would_（相信） her. I cant think of any good_（建议） to give her, but you_（总是）come up with good solutions to _(人们的) problems .What do you think I should tell Mei? What do you think I should tell the _(剩余部分)of the students ?Unit 5 P 38 Strange events in Bell Town neighborhoodOur neighborhood used to be very_（安静的）. However, these days, _（奇怪的）things are happening in our _(街坊) and everyone is unhappy. Zhou Gu, the_（当地的）school teacher, is extremely _(担心的) .When he was _（采访）by the local newspaper, he said,“every night we hear strange _（噪音）outside our window .My wife thinks it could an animal, but my friends and I think it must be _(青少年) having fun. My parents called the police, but they cant find _(任何事) strange .They think it might be the_（风）. I dont think so .Zhou Gus next door_（邻居）Qi Hui is unhappy too .” At first ,I thought it might be a dog , but I cant see a dog and I _（仍然）hear the noise outside . Everyone in our neighborhood is worried , and everyone has his or her own _(主意) . There must be something _（拜访）the homes in our neighborhood, but what is it ? Unit 6 P48 3a Yellow River FishermanThis is Hong Taos _（最近的）movie. I like Hong Tao. Hes made some great _(电影) over the years._（不幸的是）, this is his worst movie. _（如果）youre looking for entertainment, stay at home and watch TV. Yellow River Fisherman is too_（长的）, and its really_(无聊的) . It does have a _（一些）good_（特点）, though. I thought the fishermans wife was really_（滑稽的）. Amy Kim PhotographyBe _(务必) to see this exhibition at the Lido Gallery. Amy Kim is one of the _（最著名的）Chinese photographers in the _（世界）today, and some of her most famous_（照片）are on_(展览) in this exhibition. She really has something for everyone. There are many great photos of people and of the_（乡村）. The few city photographs are less_（成功的）. I see the _（相同的）things every day and they dont _（吸引）me as much. But this is a great show from a world-class photographer._（无论什么）you do, dont _(错过) this exhibition. Wild and WindyOver the years, weve seen_（音乐的）groups with _（相当地）strange names come and go. Few have stranger names than this band. As the name_（暗示）, the band has lots of_(活力) . And they play the kind of music that I love to hear. Every song is really_（大声的）and you often cant understand the words, but this is okay because the_（歌词） arent very good._（然而）, these are_（音乐人）who make _（我们）happy_(甚至) on a Monday morning. Unit 6 P 49 Dear pen pal Im having a great time in Hong Kong, _（然而）I have to be （诚实）and say that I （更喜欢）Shanghai. Still, its a great （地方）to visit and Im_（幸运的） to be here for my six-month English_（课程）. Some （其他的）students are learning French. I might like to learn it too. What _(语言) would you like to learn? Theres just so much to see and do here. Last night I went to a Chinese music concert. （大多数的）of my friends like loud music that they can dance to. I prefer quiet, （传统的）music so the concert （适合）me just fine. What _(种类) of music do you like?Before the concert went for Italian food. Do you like it? There are lots of _（不同的）kinds of food here. I dont know what to （尝试）next. What kinds of food do you prefer? My host family is taking me to an Indian film_（节日）next weekend. Im not sure what to （期待）because Ive never seen an Indian film before. Have you? Some people say theyre boring, but others say theyre great. What kinds of film do you prefer?Yours,LinglingUnit 7 P54 Travel Spotlight: ParisFor your next vacation, why not _（考虑）visiting Paris? Paris is the_（首都） of France and is one of the _(最有活力的) cities in Europe. It doesnt have any beaches or_（山）, but there are still many things to do there. For example, it has some fantastic_（景点）, _(包括) the Eiffel tower and Notre Dame Cathedral, one of the most famous_（教堂） in the world.Traveling around Paris by taxi can _(花费) a lot of money, but its usually _（便利的）to take the underground trains to most places. In_(总体), though, France is quite an_（昂贵的）place. One thing that is not expensive in France, however, is the_(酒) !Most people in France have learned English. But many people dont like to speak English, _（尤其）in Paris. So unless you speak French_(你自己) , its best to travel with someone who can _（翻译）things for you.
