However, what surprised me most was that she made 5 step by step. Once, I asked her, “How can you do better and better? You do your homework so 6 .” She answered, “Doing my homework slowly doesn’t mean that I don’t study hard. 7 , I just go over what I have learned first, and then do the homework.” I suddenly 8 that she wasn’t a procrastinator. She just spent her time 9 and doing the review (复习) . When she was thinking and reviewing, she 10 the mistakes and then corrected (改正) them. When we learn a new thing, we 11 it well at first.

She was so sad that she 4 for hours. Many classmates came to cheer her up. But, instead of staying with her, they left 5 . That night, Fiona told her mother about everything. Her mother said, “Real friendship isn’t just about giving gifts. You need to spend time with people, and listen to their 6 in their difficult times.” Fiona 7 her mother’s words the whole night. She remembered how her mother always 8 her when she failed and stayed with her until she felt better. The next morning, Fiona noticed a classmate sitting alone. This girl often looked 9 at mealtimes. Fiona smiled and asked, “Would you mind me sitting next to you?” A big smile appeared on the girl’s face, “Yes! Why not?” The two talked happily during the meal. For the first time, Fiona understood that friendship doesn’t have much to do with gifts. It comes through kindness and 10 .

The 4 was about to end. I was sure that Robin would 5 , as there was only 10 metres left. Suddenly, the second-place runner sped up (加速) and ran past 6 . So Robin got the 7 place at last. 8 fact, the winner was Robin’s friend in Class 3. After the race, they stood face to face and 9 of them seemed tired. It was such a pity that I thought Robin would feel 10 . To my surprise, they 11 out their hands and hugged each other, and they said something I couldn’t 12 .

I am a quiet boy, and Peter is 8 quiet. We 9 enjoy reading books and surfing the Internet. On weekends, we often go to the library or 10 games on the computer together. But James is very different from us. He likes playing ball games, and he is 11 than us. He is 12 more outgoing and often makes 13 laugh. You see, friends are not 14 to be the same.

We can’t choose our parents or the things happening around us. And this can make our lives 1 and more stressful. But we can 2 one thing: who our friends are. Having friends is 3 . First, they make life more enjoyable. We can 4 happy things with them. Friends enrich (充实) our everyday lives and we enrich 5 too. Second, friends help us go through the 6 times. When we are going through a tough (艰难的) time, friends can 7 give us help. And that can make bad things in our life 8 much easier. So where do we find friends? This might sound like a stupid 9 , but finding friends is not an easy thing! If you want to 10 find some friends, try joining the groups or activities you truly enjoy. This way you can easily meet people with 11 interests. And once you’re there, ask for their contact 12 and follow up with them. 13 it may feel scary at first, the result may be a big surprise for you. Like anything in life, we must put time, energy and love into friendships. It’s 14 to learn how to keep a friendship. True friendships reach our 15 and give us hope.

Most English-speaking students learn French. In my school we can choose Chinese or French. I chose to learn Chinese. I have a lot of Chinese friends. My sister is also learning Chinese. This way we can 3 to each other in Chinese. In Vancouver (温哥华), my home town, there are a lot of 4 schools. If someone wants to learn a foreign language, he can go to these schools after class. Most of these schools offer Chinese classes, and many Chinese parents 5 their children to Chinese language schools so they won’t 6 Chinese. You told me that learning English was 7 . I don’t think learning any foreign language is easy. Chinese is also difficult for me, but we shouldn’t 8 . Next time I send you an email, I’ll try to write in 9 and you can write in English.

At the first class, I was surprised by my classmates. They all did 4 than me. But the difficulties did not stop me. It was 5 to learn Chinese as fast as I imagined. Studying slowly could help to get good results. I told myself to be 6 . I learned grammar, listening and reading through Chinese classes. But 7 are not everything. In my opinion, taking classes is 50% of the way to learn Chinese. The other 8 is to use it in the real world. In the beginning, it was hard for me to open my mouth. To change it, I started to speak to everyone, from teachers and classmates to 9 in the street. After five months, I was able to 10 local people.

It can make you confident when you are studying. But unluckily, most students don’t know 1 to take notes. The following can tell you how to take notes. If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great. Because of time, you can write down the most important facts 2 copying everything. Different teachers do things 3 . For example, some teachers may talk about lots of data (数据) and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may 4 the important points. So don’t try to write down every 5 in class, or you might miss some important points. Some students really learn 6 with the help of these notes. Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you missed. If your teacher speaks too fast and you can’t follow him, you can 7 him after class. Comparing your notes with your classmates’ can be good for your learning. It can also help you and your classmates 8 some mistakes. Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each 9 in one place, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes. Good note-taking takes time. If you 10 to arrange (整理) your notes every evening, you’ll surely have less time to watch TV.

Almost every student has his own way of learning, but a 1 with my deskmate gave me new ideas on how to study effectively. My deskmate was a typical procrastinator (拖延者) in the 2 of our teachers and she always finished her homework 3 than the other classmates. Sometimes that made our teachers 4 . However, what surprised me most was that she made 5 step by step. Once, I asked her, “How can you do better and better? You do your homework so 6 .” She answered, “Doing my homework slowly doesn’t mean that I don’t study hard. 7 , I just go over what I have learned first, and then do the homework.” I suddenly 8 that she wasn’t a procrastinator. She just spent her time 9 and doing the review (复习) . When she was thinking and reviewing, she 10 the mistakes and then corrected (改正) them. When we learn a new thing, we 11 it well at first. Then we forget it slowly. A few days later, we may keep 12 in mind. We forget it completely! But reviewing helps 13 to learn new knowledge (知识) better. When we don’t have to 14 exams, we should review the knowledge and learn 15 mistakes. When exams are coming, it’s always clever to start preparing early.

One night, when we were enjoying the dinner, the threads (线) fell into his spaghetti (意大利面) in the bowl. “Look out, Dad!” I shouted. “You’re about to 5 your sweater.” Dad laughed, “This sweater is no longer of any use,” he said. But when he was about to 6 the sweater, he just stood there unhappily. 7 made me lose in thought. I thought about the day he got it, all those days he 8 it, and the day he ripped it. Then I thought about the day he almost ate it, and that gave me a(n) 9 for the coming DIY show at school. “Wait, Dad! May I have it?” I asked. “ 10 do you want to keep it?” Dad asked. “You’ll see.” I washed, dried and broke the sweater into threads.
