人教版九年级英语课文 Unit1-5

Unit1 P.4 3aHow 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. Its too boring.”Wei Ming feels differently. Hes 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 isnt 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 3aHow I learned to learn EnglishLast year my English class was difficult. First of all, it wasnt easy for me to understand the teacher when she talked. To begin with, she spoke too quickly, and I couldnt understand every word. Later on, I realized that it doesnt matter if you dont understand every word. I was also afraid to speak in class, because I thought my classmates might laugh at me. I couldnt 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. Its 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 3aMy biggest problem is that Im 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 dont 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 3aThe 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 cant do that, we should be allowed to design our own uniforms. That would be a good way to keep both teachers and students happy. Its 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 theyre too short. Longer vacations would give us time to do had an opportunity to volunteer at the local hospital, but I couldnt because I had to go back to school. It would be a good experience for me because I want to be a doctor when Im older.P.23Helping and LearningAt our school, we sometimes have a special day to help others. Last year we went to an old peoples 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 Im 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 3aIf you answered for most questions, then you are probably pretty confident. Social situations dont bother you in the slightest. You know what you want, and you know how to get it. Sometimes you might annoy people because youre 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 Part2Dear 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. Its probably true. Mei is very clever and can speak English really well. In fact, she always comes top in the school exams. The problem is that shes very shy. She doesnt want to let her friends down, but shes terrified of speaking in front of other people.Shes my friend, so she can tell me that shes shy. But she cant tell everyone that. I dont think they would believe her. I cant think of any good advice to give her, but you always come up with good solutions to peoples problems. What do you think I should tell Mei? What do you think I should tell the rest of the students? FranUnit 5 P.38 3aStrange events in Bell Tower neighborhoodOur neighborhood used to be very quiet.
