There are many ways to things. In school, teachers do their best to teach us what they know. At home, my parents show me how to do the housework. I can learn somethings not only from books but also from life. Of all the ways of learning, I think it is the most important to learn

knowledge by myself. I can read many interesting books and think over the main ideas. I always keep asking questions, then try to answer them by myself . It’s helpful to keep a diary.

14、My Dream

When I was a child, I lived in a mountain village. There was no hospital there. When farmers were ill, they couldn’t see a doctor. If they were not badly ill, they just stayed at home. If they were badly ill, they had to go to the city to see a doctor, but it was difficult for them. So some farmers died because of this. From then on, I made up my mind to help them.

I think I should be a doctor. If I study well and can go to study medicine, then I can become a doctor. Then I can help the ill farmers.

So what is my dream? To be a doctor.

When I come out, I will smile again.

There are not many things in my bedroom. There is a small desk, a bed and a bookshelf. I clean my room every day and make my room clean and tidy.

Notes to the Composition:

16、Happiness

Happiness means different things to different people. For example, some students believe that if they have much money, they will be happy. They will be able to do anything they want to do. Some students wish to be rich with the help of their parents. Then they don’t think money means happiness. We can’t buy many of the things with money, such as health and knowledge. I love knowledge, which makes me happy. Although different people think happiness differently, my happiness comes from my study.

Notes to the Composition:

17、Protect the Environment

Hi everyone,

It’s our duty to protect the environment and save energy. We can do some small things in our daily life. When we are leaving a room, we should turn off the lights. We can turn off the shower while washing our hair. When we go shopping, we should take our own bags. We can try to ride our bicycles instead of driving cars or taking buses. We should stop using paper napkins and think of good ways to recycle paper. I think three are many things we can do. If everyone makes a contribution the world 8

will become more and more beautiful, and our life will be better and better.

Notes to the Composition:

18、Our School Rules

Good morning, Tome. Welcome to our school. Now please allow me to introduce some of our school rules to you. As junior school student firstly, we are supposed to wear school uniforms when we are at school. Secondly, we should never be late for class or leave school before it is over. Thirdly, the school is a place for us to live and study in, so we must keep it clean. Finally, if you want to go to school by bike, you must have a bike permit.

We will try our best to make you study here a pleasant experience. Notes to the Composition:

19、How to Get Along with Others

How to get along with others? This is a good question. Many of my friends asked me this question.

I think if you want to get along well with others, you must be kind and friendly to others.

If you are kind and friendly enough to others, they would like to make friends with you. But if you are bad, I think none of them would 9

like to be your friend. And if you have no friends, you will feel very lonely and sad. So be kind and friendly to others. And I am sure you can get along very well with others.

Notes to the Composition:

20、Believe in Yourself

When I was ten years old, I didn’t feel happy. I liked drawing, but my mother kept on shouting, “If you have time, work hard at your lessons!” I enjoyed playing football, but my grandmother often cried, “Aren’t you a girl? Can’t you be quiet?” I was fond of fishing, but my teacher frightened me by saying, “You will fall into the river some day.” So it seemed to me that everyone around me thought that I was going foolish things.

One day my father asked me, “Are you happy?” “No,” I said, “I am foolish and always do wrong things. No one likes me.” “But I am proud of you,” Father said. “You draw well, you play football and fish well , don’t you?” “Yes” Then I said sadly, “But I can’t get the highest marks!” “Never mind, Cheer up and believe in yourself.”

After that talk, I felt I was happy again. I began to enjoy my life. “Believe in yourself.” I said it to myself again and again in my mind. Notes to the Composition:

21、Which More Important, Money or Friends?

When we are in trouble, our friends can help us. They won’t make us feel like a lonely bird. Only friends can make us really happy in our everyday life.

Money can change our lives. I f we don’t have money, we can do nothing, and may starve to death.

Money and friends are in one family, they can’t leave each other away. If we only have money and don’t have friends, we will feel lonely.

In this way we will be unable to live on happily. So money and friends are both important.

But as a middle school student, I think friends are more important, we must take care of each other. W e must help each other and we should love each other. And when we have after class only friends can play with us and we can talk with them about some interesting things we are both interested in.

25、最近，昆明是加大了城市道路的安全管理措施，但是仍然有不少市民违反交通规则。请你写一篇80词左右的短文，短文必须包括以下内容：1、你对交通安全重要性的认识；2、市民违反交通规则的现象：闯红灯、无驾照驾驶、不戴头盔等；3、提出倡议：倡议大家遵守交通规则。提示词：hit (碰撞) helmet (头盔)

Traffic rules are very important for our safety. If people don’t follow the traffic rules, they will be hit by running cars, and the traffic will be a real mess. If so, there will be no safety for all of us. Unfortunately, there are so many people who don’t want to follow the traffic rules. They don’t wait for the green lights; they drive without a driving license or a helmet. I don’t think they are doing the right things. I believe that if everyone follows the traffic rules, there will be fewer and fewer traffic accidents. Notes to the Composition:

26、如今很多孩子喜欢吃汉堡包等食物，但不喜欢锻炼，所以他们变得越来越胖，健康状况也越来越差。请你针对这一情况写一篇短文提出你的合理建议。不少于80词。

Now lots of children like to eat hamburger. They think hamburgers are really delicious, so they eat more and more hamburgers, hot dogs and 14

so on. And they become fatter and fatter. But in fact, hamburgers are junk food , which are bad for our heath . So if you want to keep health, you shouldn’t eat too much junk food, but have more vegetables and fruits. And you’d better do some sports to keep your body strong. For example, you can get up early to run or to do morning exercises. If you want to have a strong body, you’d better eat less junk food and do more sports. That is good for your health.

27、提示：近几年，汽车数量越来越多，汽车对人们的日常生活有利也有弊。请阐述汽车数量的增加对我们生活的影响并给出合理的建议。

Nowadays, there are more and more cars on the road. Cars are very helpful to us. I think cars can help us to save a lot of time. No matter how far it is, we can go anywhere we ant to go. They are convenient. However, cars make the traffic worse and worse. There is much noise and the air pollution is becoming more and more terrible. We should make our contribution to protect the environment. For example, we can go out without cars as much as possible.

28、Internet

15

Recently our school has held a discussion about whether it is proper for middle school students to go to the Internet cafe. Most of the students think that middle school students shouldn’t go to the Internet cafe because it’s a waste of money. Some students often stay up too late when they go to the Internet cafe, so it will have a bad effect on their daytime study. What’s worse, the content in some webs is bad for teenagers.

But a few of the students don’t think so. They think it’s good for middle school students to surf the Internet. They can get some

information helpful for their study and improve their ability in computer operation.

In my opinion, students can go to the Internet cafe but they should learn to control themselves.

Notes to the Composition:

29、How to Face Pressure

Many students work very hard but we are unhappy. We are under great pressure. We are always being told by our parents and teachers to study harder so that we can go to a better high school. Though this may be a good idea for those bright students, it can have terrible results for many students because most of us are not gifted enough.

There is only one month left before the exam. I know my parents care for me very much and I won’t let them down. I think it is very 16

important for us to keep fit. In order to keep health, we should exercises more and take part in sports games every day. Secondly, we must keep ourselves in high spirits. If we are too nervous, we may fail in the exam. So, I often listen to some pop music during my spare time. On the other hand, we must review what we learned systematically.

In a world I believe we will pass the entrance examination to high school successfully if we can handle the pressure properly.

Notes to the Composition:

30、Do Your Parents Always Understand You?

My parents always understand me. They are both my parents and my good friends, I think. If they don’t understand me one day, I won’t be angry with them, either. Because I know they are friendly to me. Their words are good for me. So I will talk to them until they understand me.

Now, I’m at school and don’t live with my parents. So I know the feeling of living without my patents’ love. I also know that parents’ love is the greatest love in the world. And I know I must understand my

parents, too. They always work very hard every day to let me go to school, and to give me food and clothes. I’m very thankful to them. So I must study as hard as possible. I think my parents will be very happy to see my good results.

31、Lighten the Burden on Students(减轻学生负担)

I would like to play with my friends in the open air. I’m on my

winter holiday, but I have too much homework to do. Besides that I have to play on the computer for an hour a day. I must write a daily diary. I go to an art school twice every week to learn painting and handwriting. When I try to tell mother that I want to go out with my friends, she gets very angry. She seems disappointed. I’m very sorry to see that, but mother, I really want to go out for a while. I want to feel, hear, see and find real life. I know it is very important for us students to study hard, but the meaning of knowledge is very wide. I don’t want to be a bookworm. Mother, please don’t put so much pressure on me. I need to go outside for sports, singing, dancing and other activities.

32、现在越来越多的中学生拥有了自己的手机。中学生带手机有利有弊，作为一名中学生持有手机有什么看法？写一篇80左右的短文。要求：表明自己的看法并提出建议。提示词：more and more, mobile phone, offer a lot of convenience, send short messages, some trouble, necessary

Now more and middle students have their own mobile phones. On the one hand, mobile phones are very useful for us. They offer us 18

a lot of convenience. If we have mobile phones, we can find our friends easily. We can also send short messages to our friends. And sending messages is getting more and more population now.

On the other hand, they also bring some trouble. Some students send messages to their friends in class. Some of them even cheat in the exams by sending messages. Some of them may show off their new expensive mobile phones to others. I think it’s pretty terrible.

I think we can have mobile phones. And we should study hard as well. A mobile phone is useful and our study is important.

Notes to the Composition:

33、Smoking is Bad for Health

Nowadays some students start to smoke because they think it makes them look cool. But smoking is harmful to their health. People who smoke a lot are likely to get lung cancer and die earlier than expected. Smoking also pollutes the air. If someone is smoking, others can be harmed by the polluted air. What’s worse, once they start, it will be hard to give it up.

I hope more and more students will realize the problem and refuse to smoke. The best way to fight against smoking is never to start. Notes to the Composition:

34、Talking about whether students should wear school uniforms at school.

Just now, we talked about whether students should wear school uniforms at school. Some students think that it is good for students to wear school uniforms. People can tell which school a student is from easily from their school uniforms; and they look nice when in a school group. Wearing school uniforms also prevents students from wearing strange clothes and comparing with clothes with their classmates.

However, some students don’t think it is good for students to wear school uniforms. First, school uniforms are expensive. Second, they need to buy again when they grow out of them. Third, school uniforms can only be used at school. Fourth, everyone looks the same in school uniforms.

Notes to the Composition:

35、I hope…

每个人都有自己的心愿，有自己的希望，有自己的想做的事情，例如：“I hope to be a good football player/a singer.”, “I hope that I can make more good friends”等等。请写一篇短文或写一篇对话，表达你的意愿。

school and I love books. I’ll go to a new school in two months’ time. I hope I’ll meet more good teachers and good friends. I hope they’ll help me when I have difficulties. I also hope all my teachers have a good luck and a happy life.

Highs and Lows In My Life

We all have experienced highs and lows in our lives. I will never forget the experience when I began to learn English. I liked English but I couldn’t get the right way in learning. The more I wanted to remember, the harder I found it was. I was in a low spirit. I almost gave it up.

Luckily, my English teacher encouraged me and helped me find a good way. By and by, I realized English was not such a terrible thing. I became brave enough to open my mouth to speak English. How excited I was! My confidence came back to me. Believe it or not, I won the first prize in Spoken English Competition in our school. It was the first time I experienced the highs in my life!

A: Hi! You’re reading an English story, aren’t you? I remember your English was poor before.

because I have you as my mum. You are such a great parent.

I still remember the day when I failed my maths exam. I was so frustrated when I got home. You were not angry with me. Instead, you praised me for my hard work and encouraged me to keep on. Tears came into my eyes when you took me in your arms. I came to know how much 28

you love me. Whether I am successful or not, you love me all the same. With your love, Mum, I will become a nice person as you always wish. Thank you for your love.

I Believe I can Do It

I still remember it was my exciting day when I got a bicycle. It was a present from my parents on my 13th birthday. The next day I began to learn how to ride it. I tried several times to get on it, but failed. I didn’t give up. I tried over and over again to keep balance. At last, I learned how to ride the bicycle. I was very happy. From it I know if I want to be

successful, I will never give up. I should believe myself because I can do it.

I think I’ll grow up with the gift because it is not only a book but also my mother’s deep love.

43.Our out-of-class activities

Our out-of-class activities are rich and colorful. We often go to the libraries to read all kinds of books. We learn a lot more in this way. We also do sports. They can help us keep healthy and strong. The most

popular sport in our school is volleyball. I often play volleyball with my classmates. Sometimes we go outside school to learn the world. For example, we go to the country to study flowers. Through these

out-of-class activities, we learn a lot of things that we can’t learn in class. Notes to the Composition:

44.为了提高英语口语表达能力，假定你班明天下午将召开一次以“Keep Our School Clean”为主题的班会，请根据以下要点用英语写一篇简短的发言稿。1、不随地吐痰、不乱扔垃圾。2、不在墙上乱涂乱画。3、坚持每天认真打扫室内外卫生。

Good afternoon, everyone!

We are studying in this school. It’s our duty to keep it clean and tidy. It’s not good to spit in public places, such as in the library, in the

classroom, in the school yard. We should neither draw anything on the walls nor throw any litter onto the ground. I think we must make it a rule to do some cleaning everyday. If everyone tries his best to do something useful for our school, I’m sure our school will be more beautiful. Notes to the Composition:

45. Learn to Smile

Smile is an attitude to life. In our life, there may be something unpleasant. For example, you fail in an exam; or another time, you are misunderstood by your friends. These unpleasant things may make you feel bad. Then what will you do? Why not learn to smile? Smiling to yourself can bring back your confidence. Sometimes, the greatest enemy is yourself; that’s to say, sometimes, you are beaten by yourself. We should also learn to smile to others. It will help us to get closer to others. So, smile is the most widely understood language.
