作文预测与范文
预测题目: 假设你叫李华,你英国笔友Mike在邮件中说他觉得中文很难学,总是记不住生词,感到沮丧。请你给他回一封邮件,分享你的英语学习经验,并给他一些学习中文的建议。
范文:
Dear Mike,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble learning Chinese. Don't worry, it's common for language learners to face difficulties. I'd like to share my experience of learning English with you.
When I first started learning English, I also found it hard to remember new words. Then I tried many ways. For example, I often make word cards and stick them on my wall. I also listen to tapes every morning to improve my listening. The most effective way for me is to have conversations with my friends. We practice speaking after class, and it really helps. By doing this, I become more confident.
Maybe you can try some of these methods. You can watch Chinese videos or movies with subtitles. Asking your teacher for help is also a good idea. Most importantly, don't be afraid of making mistakes. The secret to language learning is to practice every day.
I believe you can make great progress if you keep trying.
Best wishes,
Li Hua

The Mid-Autumn Festival The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most traditional Chinese festivals. It falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month.
On this day, families get together to celebrate. They share a big meal and then enjoy the full moon. The most important food is mooncakes. They are round and look like the full moon, which stands for family reunion. People also tell the story of Chang'e, a story that reminds us of the importance of home and family.
I think the Mid-Autumn Festival is a warm and meaningful festival because it helps us to show our love to our families. I can't wait to celebrate it with my grandparents this year.

How I've Changed! I have changed a lot in the past few years.
When I was in primary school, I used to be very short and quiet. I was afraid of speaking in public. I used to spend a lot of time playing computer games.

预测题目: 你们班正在进行一场关于"中学生是否应该做兼职"的讨论。请写一篇短文,陈述你的观点并说明理由。
范文:
Should Teenagers Have Part-time Jobs
In our class, we had a discussion on whether teenagers should be allowed to have part-time jobs. I think it is a good idea. First, having a part-time job can teach us how to manage our time and money. It is a useful life skill. Second, we can learn how to deal with different people and become more independent.
Of course, study is the most important thing for us. So, the job should not get in the way of our schoolwork. Parents should be strict with us and make sure we are safe. Only then can a part-time job be a valuable experience for us.
