■Why pencils are yellow
Pencils have been painted yellow ever since the 1890s.
And that bright color isn't just so you can find them on your desk more easily!
During the 1800s, the best graphite in the world came from China. American pencil makers wanted a special way to tell people that their pencils contained Chinese graphite.
In China, the color yellow is associated with royalty and respect. American pencil manufacturers began painting their pencils bright yellow to communicate this "regal" feeling and association with China.
The rest, as they say, is history. Today, 75%of the pencils sold in the United States are painted yellow!
■One of my first inventions!
I invented this in 7th grade. It is not a pencil, but a "minimalist" pen. It consists simply of a pen refill with a paper clip stuck in one end, which serves as the pen clip. Unfortunately my English teacher saw me fooling around with it too much, laughed at it and then took it away. I tell my students this discouraging story, how I felt, and that I would never laugh at their inventions like this teacher did.
I then ask "Could you have invented these What ideas do you have for a new pencil. , the younger the student, the more creative they are, because the lack of the ability to judge, is the basis of creativity!
■A song in English — What’s this
1= F 4/4
1.What’s this It’s a horse. What’s this It’s a house. A horse isn’t a house.
2.What’s this It’s a bike. What’s this It’s a bag. A bag isn’t a bike.
3.What’s this It’s a sheep. What’s this It’s a ship. A ship isn’t a sheep.

III.Grammar studies
1．一般疑问句和特殊疑问句
一般疑问句的构成及其回答：
如果主语是this或that, 则将be动词(am, is或 are)放在this或that的前面，后面加问号，这样就构成了一般疑问句。一般疑问句一般用声调来朗读。肯定回答用“Yes, it is”，否定回答用“No, it isn’t”。如：
1)—Is this a pen
—Yes, it is. (= Yes, it’s a pen.)
—No, it isn’t. (= No, it’s not/it isn’t a pen.)
2)—Is that your desk
—Yes, it is. (= Yes, it’s my desk.)
—No, it isn’t. (= No, it’s not/it isn’t my desk.)
[注] it is可缩写为it’s,但在简略形式的肯定回答中it is不能缩写为it’s。
[注] it is not可缩写为it’s not 或it isn’t。在简略形式的否定回答中，常用it isn’t或it’s not, 而不用it is not。
[注] that is可缩写为that’s, 但this is 不能缩写。
特殊疑问句的构成及其回答：
用疑问词what, where, who等引起的问句叫特殊疑问句。其构成是将疑问词放在句首，然后用be动词（am, is, are），再加上主语this, that, you等。特殊疑问句一般用降调朗读。回答时不能用yes或no，要根据实际情况直接回答。如：
3）—What’s this 这是什么？
—It’s a clock. 这是一只时钟。
—What’s that 那是什么？
—It’s a map. 那是一幅地图。
[注]从以上例句可以看出，问句中的this 或that 在回答时都适用it来代替。不能重复使用this或that。
[注]this 和that 是指示代词，用来指示和区别两个不同人或事物的时候，this 指离说话人较近的一个，that指离说话人较远的一个。
2．Excuse me 和Sorry
尽管在汉语中都被翻译成“对不起”，但是两者所用的情景是很不相同的。当向对方提出请求、询问某事或打扰对方时，通常说Excuse me，可根据不同情景将Excuse me理解为“劳驾”、“请问”、“对不起”等意思。由于某种失误或不能为对方效劳而向对方表示歉意时，常说Sorry，或I’m sorry.意思是“对不起” 、“抱歉”，这时一般不说或很少说Excuse me。例如：
1） Excuse me. Are you Mr Green 对不起，请问你是格林先生吗？
2） Excuse me. Can you spell it, pelase 劳驾，你能把它拼一下吗？
3） —Are you Li Ping 你是李萍吗？
—No, I’m not. 不，我不是。
—Sorry. 对不起。
4） —Can you spell the word 你能把这个单词拼写出来吗？
—Sorry, I can’t. 对不起，我不会。
3．Yes, thank you.
Thank you是一句极为常见的答谢用语, 常用来表示答谢。可以用very much,等短语来修饰，以加强感彩，表示感谢的表达方式还有：Thanks. / Thanks a lot./ Thanks very much.等。用于回答Thank you.的句子主要有That’s OK./ That’s all right. / You’re welcome./ It’s a pleasure. / Not at all.
4.How do you spell it 它怎么拼写？
how的用法很多，常用来提问“手段、方法、程度”等。例如：
How do you know that 你怎么知道的？
How old is your sister 你妹妹多大了？
How do you like China？你觉得中国怎么样？
5. 如何写招领启事和寻物启事
写招领启事和寻物启事主要是要紧扣主题，首先要写清物品，以及联系人和联系方式，要简明扼要、言简意赅。
