2025-2026学年高一初高中暑假衔接英语应用文衡水体字帖（19）

我的进步 I used to be a shy boy who was afraid of speaking in public. When the teacher asked questions, I would lower my head, even if I knew the answer. I also struggled with English, especially oral English, as I dared not talk to others in English. But now, I’ve changed a lot. I can actively answer questions in class and even give short speeches. In English class, I often practice dialogues with my deskmate. How did I make such progress? My English teacher encouraged me to join the English corner. At first, I just listened, but gradually, I tried to say a few words. With their patience, I became more confident. I realize that progress comes from courage and practice. 1 / 2 As long as we keep trying, we will get better. 2 / 2 A Rule I Agree with Among all the rules in school and family, I agree most with “no mobile phones in class”. This rule helps us focus better on lessons. Without phones, we won’t be distracted by messages or games, so we can listen to teachers carefully and take notes in time. It also encourages face-to-face communication with classmates during breaks, which is good for building friendships. What’s more, using phones less in class protects our eyes and helps us form good study habits. I expect all students to follow this rule strictly. If everyone obeys it, our class will be more orderly, and we’ll learn more effectively. Teachers will also be happier when they see us paying full attention. This rule doesn’t limit our 1 / 2 freedom but helps us grow better. 2 / 2 我生活中的改变 I’m glad to hear that you’ve noticed I’ve changed a lot. Let me tell you about it. In appearance, I used to be short and thin, but now I’m much taller and stronger because I exercise often. My personality has changed too. I was shy and quiet before, afraid to speak in public. Now I’m more outgoing and enjoy talking with classmates, even bravely express my ideas in class.As for hobbies, I used to spend much time playing computer games. Now I like reading books and playing basketball. Reading opens up a new world for me, and basketball helps me make more friends.In study, I was lazy and often put off homework. Now I’m more hard - working. I listen carefully in class, take notes and finish 1 / 2 homework on time. My grades have improved a lot. These changes make me better. I’m happy with what I am now. 2 / 2
