When someone says that he has a good memory,he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it.When someone else says that his memory is poor,he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak,we know that it is his own fault (But if he tells us that he has a poor memory,many of us think that his parents are to blame,and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can't read or write but usually they have better memories?This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things;they cannot write them down in a little notebook.They have to remember days,names,songs and stories;so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory,learn from these people:practice using it. 34.What happens if people do not use their arms or legs for some time? 35.Does people's memory work in the same way as their arms or legs? 36.Whose fault is it if someone says he has a poor memory? 37.Why do some people cannot read or write but have better memories? 38.What should we do if we want to have a good memory? 20212022学年度第二学捫期中调研八年级英语试卷第7页（共8页) 书面表达（共10分） 五、书面表达（共10分） 39.根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作，文中已给出内容不计入总词数， 请不要写出你的校名和姓名。 假如你是李华，你的笔友Tom很想了解中国的传统节日，请给他写一封电子邮件介绍一 下你最喜欢的传统节日是什么，为什么喜欢它？这个节日在什么时间？人们在那天能做什 么？ 提示词语：the lunar calendar阴历 提示间题：l.What is your favourite traditional festival?Why? 2.When is it? 3.What do people often do on that day?
