下学期初中英语人教版八年级下册
Dear Mum,
Today I’m going to tell you something really special. I know you work very hard and feel tired every day.
Every time you come home and see the messy(杂乱的)house , I know you are very angry with me. But you always say nothing and clean up the house. I always want to help you, but I have so much homework to do. After I finish my homework, I feel like dying. I really want to help you, but I’m so tired too.
I also want to tell you one thing—I love you so much. I usually talk back to you when you say that I don’t study hard enough. But in fact I just want you to praise(赞扬)me more. I will try my best to get good grades and get praise from my teacher. So don’t feel frustrated(失望)about my grades, OK I have made up my mind that I will study harder and help you to clean the house. I am serious(认真的)this time. I will have my homework done faster so that I can have more energy to clean the house. I will watch TV less so that I can have more time to study and get good grades. All these things are for one reason—I want to make you a happy mum.
I love you!
Yours,
Sally

When you meet problems, whom will you ask for help Your parents, your teachers or your friends You’d better tell others your bad feelings, and not face all the difficulties by yourself. Remember that there is always someone to help you. Be kind to yourself and ask for help.
Name your feelings. Fox example, you may say “I am so angry!” loudly when you feel angry. You can also do exercise, listen to music, write a diary, play with a pet, go for a walk or do whatever helps you change to a better feeling.
Be calm. It’s time for you to get down to business. You need to understand what the problem is, with the help of others. You must deal with the problem.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not munication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).
Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

What can children do to succeed in school Here are some tips to help you become an excellent student. Get a love of learning
It’s not enough to know that school is important. You have to learn that learning does not stop with a grade—it’s a way of life. You can even learn a lot from everyday activities at home—reading, writing, listening to music or talking with your parents. All these activities are a kind of intellectual(智力的)development. Get yourself planned
Make a work plan and put all the homework on a list. Without a plan students can easily forget what they have to do. Older students especially need such a plan as they have so many kinds of things to do in their lives. Eat with your parents as a family
Dinner is a valuable chance for the family to spend time together. During dinner time, children have the chance to express their ideas, to argue and to develop their verbal(言语的)skills. The process(过程)is more important
Many times, all we see is the grade. In fact, the process of learning is much more important than the result, because the result is always the thing of the past but the experience learned from the process can be used again in the future. When in need of help, ask others to give you the tools to find the answers by yourself. For example, instead of asking your parents to tell you where India is, ask them to show you how to use a map. Keep your expectations(期望)high
Don’t be afraid to aim high. You can reach your goals. Set practical(切实可行的)goals and do your best to reach them. If you make one step forward, you’ll enjoy making more. In this way, you are building a bright future for yourself.
16.According to the passage, it’s better for you ________.
A.to know that school is important
B.to try to make yourself love learning
C.to learn little from everyday activities
D.to learn to stop with a good grade
17.If you want to remember easily what to do next, you’d better ________.
A.set practical goals B.ask family members to tell you
C.make a work plan D.find a map to look it up
18.The paragraph about “The process is more important” tells us ________.
A.the grade is not important at all
B.the result is less important than the process
C.the experience learned from the process can’t be used again in the future
D.not to ask our parents how to use a map
19.When you ________, you’re building a bright future for yourself.

C.The experience learned from the process will help children a lot
D.Only the grade in the exam can tell us how well we have learned at school
Dear Mom,
I don’t think you understand my life. You think I should be studying all the time. I know you want me to find a good job when I grow up, but I would like to have a wonderful time, too. You never think about fun things for me to do, like music and sports. Two days ago, when I was watching a football game on TV, you asked me to stop and do my homework. After finishing my homework, I still wasn’t allowed to read my football magazines. You said I had to go to bed early. That was bad enough, but yesterday was the worst day. I bought some computer games, and put them in my bag so that you wouldn’t see them. I told you I had to do my homework first. I knew it was wrong to tell a lie to you, but you told me that Dad would talk to me later. Mom, I didn’t quite like what you did to me! I really love you, Mom, but I wish you could try not to be so hard on me.
Love,
Zhang Ning
