Reading
Hello. My name is Hao Tongxin. I live in a small village. I’m in Grade 7. And I like my school!
Last year, I wanted to give up my studies. I wanted to stay home and help my family. But my teacher said, “With a good education, you can make a difference. You can make a good life for yourself. And you can help your family, friends, and other people, too.” She gave me hope.
My teacher is great. She often visits her students and their families. She does not want anyone to drop out of school. She always helps us in every possible way. She is making a big difference in our lives.
Now, I never miss a day of school. I want to make a difference in the future — just like my teacher.

Language points
1. Last year, I wanted to give up my studies.

Stick to your dream. Don’t give it up.
坚持你的梦想,不要放弃它。
Why don’t you give up smoking 你为什么不戒烟呢?
“give up 放弃……”,可单独使用,也可接名词、代词或动词-ing形式作宾语。give up为“动词+副词”型短语,当宾语为人称代词时,人称代词要放在give与up之间;当宾语为名词时,名词放在二者之间或 up之后均可。
拓展:与 give 相关的其他短语
