Unit 1 话题写作 (如何进行学习)
How to be a good learner
As a good learner, we should have good habits and ways of learning . We need to get ready for our lessons before class. We should always listen carefully and take notes in class. After class, we must review what we learned by reading the notes and finish our homework on time. It is good to study with a group and help each other. As a student, working hard is important. But don't forget to do sports and keep healthy . We should do more reading in our free time. The more we read, the more knowledge we'll get. If we have any problems, we'd better ask others for help.
I hope all these will be helpful to us.

Dear Jack,
How's it going I'm very glad to introduce the Dragon Boat Festival to you. It is one of the traditional Chinese festivals. It has over two thousand years of history. The festival is celebrated to honor the great poet Qu Yuan. On that day,people often get together with their family to eat Zongzi and other delicious food. In the southern parts of China,people often have the Dragon Boat races. It is so exciting to watch this activity on TV. Besides, we also have a 3-day holiday during the festival. So we can have a short journey to relax ourselves. How interesting the Dragon Boat Festival is and I like it very much!
Best wishes.
Yours,

Unit 4 话题写作 (今昔对比)
How I have changed
How time flies! Three years has quickly passed. And I have changed a lot during these years.
On the one hand, I didn't use to be good at learning English at first. When my English teacher learned about that, she taught me how to memorize new words and to read as much as possible. Soon I made great progress and became interested in English.
On the other hand, in my first year, I was too weak to do much exercise. But with the help of teachers and classmates, I do exercise whenever I am free. And now I can run very fast and I'm also good at playing basketball like other boys.
Thanks to the middle school life,I have changed so much! Thanks to the teachers and classmates, I have learned so much! Never will I forget the valuable middle school life!
Unit 5 话题写作 (介绍产品特点)
I have a handbag. It's very beautiful.
It's made in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. It's made of cotton. Also, it's completely made by hand. It is blue. It's so special because it's a piece of embroidery. The flowers and mountains on it are so lively that you may think the picture on the handbag is real.
I like it very much.
Unit 6 话题写作 (介绍发明)
My invention is a flying bike. It was made last week. I think it's really such a great invention. Here is my introduction to it. It has two wheels and two wings so that we can use it to ride on the ground or fly in the sky. Besides , when we ride the bike, we can take photos or call others with it. What's more, it can not only travel very fast but also help to protect the environment and save energy because we use solar power to move it.
It has many advantages. However, it can be improved as well. First of all, we had better add something to the bike to stop us from falling off it. In addition, it's a good idea to set an umbrella on it to help us keep off the rain.
Unit 7 话题写作 (谈论规则)
My parents are very strict with me, so I have too many rules at home. I'm never allowed to go out with my friends at night. I'm not allowed to choose my own clothes,either. And my parents pay too much attention to my exam results. I don't think they understand me.
I think I should be allowed to make my own decisions. However, I try my best to understand my parents. Although they don't allow me to make my own decisions and give me too much pressure, I know that it is because they really care about me and want me to have a chance to enter a good university.
In order to keep a good relationship with my parents, I study hard and listen to them. I often tell them my trouble. I also help them do some housework.
Unit 8 话题写作 (推测物品归属)
We had an exam yesterday and now the papers are being handed out. There's a paper without a name on it left but the student got full marks. Who can it belong to
It can't be a boy's, because none of them in my class can be so good and neat. The paper must belong to a girl because its handwriting is very neat. There are only three girls who are good at handwriting-Rose,Lisa and Lucy. It might belong to Rose,but I'm not sure because she is not so good at English. It can't be Lisa's. Although she is a top student in English, she already has hers in her hand.
So it must belong to Lucy. Today she is ill at home and she does well in English, too. Well, it must be hers.
Unit 9 话题写作 (个人喜好)
There was a discussion with the topic “Movies and I”in our class last Friday. Each student talked about their own stories. Now let me tell you mine.
I really like watching movies, but I watch different kinds of movies depending on how I feel If I am happy, I prefer documentaries which provide plenty of information about a certain subject,because they are educational. When I'm sad, I'd like to watch movies that can make me laugh, such as comedies and cartoons. Of course, after watching them, I always feel better. I don't mind action movies when I'm too tired to think.
I have a great movie which is both educational and funny to share with you. That is Dying to survive. If you want to know what it is about, just watch it. I'm sure you will enjoy it.
Unit 10 话题写作 (餐桌礼仪)
Hi Mike,
Glad to hear from you again. As you mentioned in your email, there are indeed some table manners in China. For example,you are supposed to help lay out the dishes before meals. Another example is that you are not supposed to start eating first if there are older people at the table. And also, it's impolite to stick your chopsticks into the food. Besides, you shouldn't point at anyone with your chopsticks.
As for places of interest, I suggest Hangzhou National Tea Museum, where you can watch tea art performances and drink wonderful tea.
Have a good trip and I'm looking forward to seeing you!

Unit 11 话题写作 (事件对人们胡影响)
How the Internet Affects Our Life
The Internet has come into our life. It brings us not only a lot of convenience and happiness but also trouble.
On the one hand , some students use the Internet as a tool to study. They look up the meanings of the words, the translated form of a sentence, the background of an event or a story,the information of a company or a famous person, etc. All these make them feel lucky. The Internet helps them learn more and study better. They also read news or send e-mails through it. And these make them happy and relaxed, They can communicate with others easily. On the other hand, some students play games, chat with friends, see pictures or films, and even see the unhealthy things on the Internet the whole day rather than study subjects hard. It's very dangerous for them!
This is how the Internet affects our life. I think we should make good use of it and stay away from the unhealthy websites.
Unit 12 话题写作 (一次难忘的经历)
Good morning, everyone! Let me introduce myself first. My name's Li Ming. I'm a student of Class One Grade Nine , Hongxing Middle School. Life is really full of the unexpected.
It was yesterday morning that I received an e-mail. It said I won the prize of a new computer.I was so excited that I gave them a call as quickly as I could and did as they told. But two weeks later ,I still haven't received the prize. By then I realized that I had been cheated. It made me really mad and angry.
As students, what should we do when receiving the information like this I think we should firstly tell our teachers or parents about it. We can also report it to the police. We are sure the cheats will be punished one day.
That's all. Thank you.
Unit 13 话题写作 (保护环境)
With the global warming getting worse, more people choose to live a low- carbon life for the purpose of reducing greenhouse gases. As students, we can do many small things to save the earth in our daily life.
First, we can save water,electricity and paper. It's a great idea that we turn off the lights and computers when leaving the room or shut off the taps in time. Second, I think bringing a bag to go shopping can help. And don't buy clothes which are unnecessary.Third, never buy throwaway chopsticks, bowls or cups. It's not only a waste of energy but they are also
harmful to the environment. Also, to cut down air pollution, we should walk or ride bikes to school instead of driving. Of course, we can also plant more trees. Remember that saving the earth begins with small things.
Let's take action and be a low-carbon person!
Unit 14 话题写作 (学校生活)
My Life in Junior Middle School
I have studied in my junior middle school for three years. My life in junior middle school was rich and I have learned a lot. It was colorful and enjoyable.
Our school is big and beautiful. Nice flowers and green trees are around our school. Most of my classmates are kind. We often helped each other when anyone was in trouble. Our teachers were friendly and patient with us, especially our English teacher. Thanks to her help, I put in more effort and made great progress in English. So my favorite subject was English. My favorite sport was basketball.。I think playing basketball was the best way to relax from my busy study.
It's hard to separate from my school, my teachers and my classmates. I won't forget the days that I have spent in my junior middle school. I'm looking forward to getting into senior high school and I hope to achieve my dream.
