So they send me to all kinds of training classes at weekends.Last Monday evening, I had a talk with my mother. I told her I was not lazy. I really felt tired. I needed time to relax. My mother agreed with me at last. So I think a conversation with parents is necessary to solve the problem.That’s all. Thank you!
三、假定你是李华，在中秋节到来时，你的新西兰朋友Peter受邀去他的中文老师家做客，他发邮件向你询问中国习俗。请你回复邮件，内容包括：1.节日习俗 2. 时间礼仪 3. 餐桌礼仪。 参考范文：Dear Peter,How are you?

All the family members usually have a big dinner on this day. After dinner, we enjoy the moon and eat delicious mooncakes. You are supposed to be there on time. It shows your politeness and respect to others. What’s more, you need to pay attention to your table manners. We Chinese use chopsticks to eat and you shouldn’t stick your chopsticks into the bowl. It is impolite. You shouldn't make noise when you're eating, either. I hope my advice will be of some help.I’m looking forward to your reply!Yours, Li Hua

五、我们在追逐青春梦想的同时，不能忽视"劳动最光荣"的优良传统．专家指出，经常做家务不仅能锻炼我们的动手能力，还能增强我们的责任感．请以"To be a helper of my family"为题目写一篇英语短文．要点：1.你经常做哪些家务？2.描述一次你印象最深刻的家务劳动过程，并写出劳动后的感悟。参考范文：To be a helper of my familyI often do housework at home, such as making the bed, washing the dishes, do some washing, looking after my younger sister and so on.Last Friday, the evening fell, but my parents didn't come back home yet. I stopped doing my homework and decided to make a meal for my family instead of just waiting. It was my first cooking. I surfed on the Internet to learn how to do home style dishes. With the step-by-step directions, I managed to make my first dish. Then I tried to cook another．When my parents came back home, they couldn't believe their eyes to see the dishes made by me. My parents were very satisfied with me.I think it is responsible for every family member to share housework. We should be hard-working. After that, I become more confident.
六、现在越来越多的学生使用“作业帮”这个APP来搜查他们不会做的题目。对此，不同的人有不同的看法。请根据以下文字的提示，并适当发表自己的观点，写一篇英语短文。优 点1. 及时帮助学生解决在学习中遇到的困难；2. 在家就能学习，简单、方便；3. 可以选择自己喜欢的老师，学习兴趣更浓。缺点1. 有的学生假装学习，事实上在玩游戏；2. 有的学生不想独立思考，直接照抄答案，他们根本不关心自己的学习，只是虚度光阴。你的建议联系实际，给出自己合理的建议。参考词汇：convenient 方便的，便利的 pretend to do… 假装做…… think independently 独立思考参考范文：Today, more and more students are using the APP zuoyebang. However, different people have different ideas about it.
Some people think it's useful. The APP zuoyebang can help students to solve problems in their studying in time. It's easy and convenient for them to study at home. They can choose their own teachers they like, and they will be more interested in studying. However, others don't think so. They think some students just pretend to study. In fact, they play games. They don't want to think independently, but only copy the answers. It's a waste of time. I think it's good for students who are hard-working. They can study better. But for students who don't want to study, it's very bad.
七、科学技术是第一生产力，创新是引领发展的第一动力。中国人民勤劳睿智，创新产品层出不穷，日新月异。假如你是李华，你们学校英语社团正在开展“创新生活”主题征文活动，请结合自身经历介绍你日常学习或生活中经常使用的新发明，说说你对它的评价及它带给你的改变。提示词语：technology, High-speed Train, shared bikes, convenient, develop提示问题：·What new invention do you use in your daily life?·What do you think of it?·How does it affect your life?参考范文：Technology plays an important role in our daily life. We benefit from them a lot and they are changing our lives greatly. Of hundreds of technological inventions, I like the high-speed train best.In the past, it took me about 20 hours from Shenzhen to Shanghai . But now it only takes me about 4 hours to get to Shanghai. This saves me a lot of time. Moreover, it’s comfortable to take the high-speed train because it moves smoothly, and I can do some reading and watch movies without any problem. I can not only enjoy the view out of the windows but also have a relaxing time on the train. Many people choose to take the high-speed train because of the lower price than the plane. And it is very convenient. What a great creative invention!
八、倾听是一种尊重，尊重是一种美德。在人与人交流过程中，如果能多一份倾听，彼此就会多一份理解，社会就会多一份温暖。某英文网站正在开展以“倾听、理解”为主题的征文活动。假如你是李华， 请用英语写一篇短文投稿，谈谈生活中因为认真倾听而理解他人的一次经历，主要内容包括：你们之间发生了什么，你为什么能理解对方以及你的感受。提⽰词语：argue, upset, listen, forgive, pleased提⽰问题：1.What happened between you and him/her?2.Why did you understand him/her?3.How did you feel after that?参考范文：I still remember that unforgettable experience. Last Friday，on a P.E. class，my classmate Tom knocked me down while we were running on the playground. I felt so hurt on my leg. When I struggled up. I saw Tom still in great shock，without saving sorry. I got angry and almost started shouting at him. At the very moment he said “I am so sorry, Li Hua . I didn't see you running towards me. Someone in front of me blocked my eyesight. Shall I go to the school clinic with you？”Hearing his words，I understood and forgave him. After school. We went home together.From this，I understood that listening is the best way to avoid misunderstanding and argument. Listening and understanding others make not only others comfortable but ourselves
九、榜样是船, 让我们扬起希望的帆, 带我们驶向胜利的彼岸；榜样是灯, 照亮我们人生的道路；榜样是指南针, 为我们指引前进的方向。某网站正在开展以“My Role Model”为主题的征文活动。假如你是李华, 请写一篇短文投稿, 谈谈谁是值得你学习的榜样, 你为什么以他／她为榜样, 以及你从他／她身上学到了什么。提示词语：teacher, subject, help, learn, patience提示问题：1.Who is your role model?2.Why is he/she your role model?3.What have you learned from him/her?参考范文：Role models have a great influence on our life. When people talk about role models, they always think about some pop stars or heroes, but my role model is my English teacher. When I went into this school, I was not good at English. I couldn't understand what my English teacher said and I didn't want to learn it either. During English classes, I read other books or did my homework of other subjects. My English teacher didn't say anything when she saw what I did. One day, she asked me to her office, gave me an English book and let me read it. I opened the book and found I could read it and understand it with the help of the pictures. She taught me how to guess the meaning of some of the new words and also gave me another book to read and let me tell the stories to her next day. Because of her patience and encouragement, I read more books that I could read. I learned more words and I became more and more interested in English. I can also help other students to learn English with patience and encouragement.
十、现如今，很多人喜欢在网上点餐。请根据下面表格中的提示写一篇80词（开头已给出，不计入总词数）左右的英语短文向英语杂志食品安全栏目投稿，谈谈网上点餐的利与弊，并阐述你的观点。可适当发挥，不得出现真实姓名、校名等信息。Ordering food onlineAdvantages:方便便捷，节约时间；品种多样，美味可口；减少外出，规避风险；......Disadvantages:塑料包装污染环境；饮食习惯不够健康；食品安全令人担忧；……Your opinion......参考词汇：减少外出reduce going out；规避风险avoid risks；塑料包装plastic packages参考范文：Nowadays, many people prefer ordering food online.Some people think it’s good to order food online.It is more convenient and faster than we cook at home, so we can save much time to do other things.Besides, there are many kinds of take-away food and most of them are delicious.What’s more, ordering food online can reduce going out and avoid risks.However, other people hold a different opinion.They say some restaurants may have food safety problems and plastic packages are bad for our environment and health.In addition, this kind of eating habit is unhealthy.
In my opinion, we can order food online sometimes, but for the sake of our health, we’d better cook it by ourselves.
十一、对于很多家庭来说，辅导孩子做作业是一件很头疼的事情。有人说，有了智能机器人的帮助，家长其实不必这么焦虑。智能机器人学习机 Alpha Egg 新增了一个背课文的功能，解放了家长，让孩子自己完成背课文的任务。因为这项功能，Alpha Egg 在智能早教机器人排行榜中收获无数好评。然而，也有人表示，家长对孩子的教育不是机器人可以替代的。对此，你怎么看呢？提示：1. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of using learning machine to guide students instead of parents;2. Express one's own views;3. Explain at least two reasons to support your point of view;参考范文：It would be cool if robots could help children study. Robots don’t get angry and they can always be patient. Parents can be freed from this task and focus on other work. But robots can never interact with children like parents do.Therefore, I think it’s better for children to study with their parents than with robots.When parents help their children with their studies, it allows them to spend more time getting to know their kids. It’s important for parents to be around and offer help and support when their children have problems. Robots might be better at giving correct answers, but parents can provide more than just knowledge. Together, they can create lifelong family memories.Therefore, I believe it’s better to have parents than robots as learning partners.
十二、2024年贾玲主导、主演的励志电影《热辣滚烫》上映以来吸引人们的广泛关注，引发热烈的讨论。 “Live life to the fullest, you only live once”，作为青少年的我们更应该燃烧自己的青春年华，让每一天过得热辣滚烫。为此，《金桥之声》广播站诚邀各位同学积极投稿，以“Live Life to the Fullest”为题，从热爱学习、直面挑战和关爱社会三个方面呼吁更多的同学过充实而有意义的生活，并在稿件最后表达对同学们的期待。Live Life to the FullestDear classmates,I am Li Hua from Class 1, Grade 9. I have made up my mind to live life to the fullest since I watched the film YOLO. As teenagers, we should study hard to get into our dream college. We should try our best to study so that we can provide a better life for ourselves in the future. What’s more, we should never give up when we face difficulties. We should face challenges bravely and find ways to solve them. Last but not the least, we also should care for society. We can clean up the parks in our city when we are free. We can also volunteer to help the people in need.In a word, I hope everyone can live life to the fullest.Yours sincerely,Li Hua
十三、成长对于青少年有着重大的意义。日前，学校公众号英语专栏以“Growing Up”为题，面向全体学生开展征文活动。请你参考下面提示图（图片为非限定性内容），从你对成长的认识出发，结合自己初中阶段的某个故事或某次经历，写一篇短文，谈谈你对成长的感受。
Growing UpGrowing up is meaningful to teenagers. In my opinion, I grow up in changes. The biggest change I’ve ever made is that I am not afraid of speaking to others any more.I used to be shy when I entered the middle school. It lasted for one year until I read the saying “It’s never too late to change” in my English book. I realized it’s time to change, so I began to communicate more with others and tried to speak louder when answering questions in class.Now my life is much more meaningful and colourful. I should be brave to improve myself when growing up.

But there is probably something wrong between us. I know you love me so much, but I also know you may be not interested in some of my hobbies, such as playing basketball, playing the guitar and chatting with my friends. They really waste time, but they are parts of my life. So I hope you can encourage and support me to do something that I like. Now I have already grown up a lot. I will keep on studying hard to get good grades and achieve my dream. Besides, I hope you can spare your time to stay and chat with me, so we can get on better.

十五、生活中有许多美好的瞬间：当你通过努力获得成功的时候；当你帮助别人或得到别人帮助的时候；当你看到别人做好事的时候……。请以“The Best Moment in My Memory”为题，写一篇英语短文，描述一件曾经发生在你身边的事情。The Best Moment in My MemoryHow time flies! When I look back upon different events that have taken place in my life, I find I’ll never forget one thing. That is the best moment in my memory.When I was young, my parents were strict in my study. Once I had a bad mark at the math test, I was shy and afraid to meet them. But when I got back home late, my parents knew what happened. They said to me, “It doesn’t matter, my child. We’ll be always with you when you need help. We believe you will be better next time. Never give up!” I was moved and made up my mind to work harder and harder.I feel so happy. Whenever I am in trouble, I can feel their love. I love my parents very much.
