Around 100 models of folk houses made by students were on show, including homes from canal (运河) towns in the area south of the Yangtze River, Xizang and other places. Students created their beautiful models by completing their own DIY jobs. Gao Ruidi,13, from Jiangsu In the area south of the Yangtze River, people live beside the river. I love people’s lifestyles there. So I decided to make a group of buildings to show this, including a river with a bridge, classic houses and a pavilion (亭子). When I made it, the pavilion kept falling over. To fix this, I finally changed from using plasticine (橡皮泥) to wooden sticks (木棍). At last, I made it. With this experience, I saw the beauty of traditional folk houses. Wu Maolin,13, from Anhui I found Ma Tou Walls (马头墙) in the region south of the Yangtze River interesting because they looked like staircases (楼梯). Before making my model, I looked up why they were built this way. In these areas, houses are built close together, so if one house catches fire, it could quickly spread (传播) to others. To prevent this, people build Ma Tou Walls that rise above the roofs. While making the model, I used mortise and tenon joints (榫卯结构) to make the house stronger. By doing this, I knew ancient people were so clever. And it also helped me learn more about traditional Chinese culture. 1 * Beijing RCF Experimental School 2 a special show on “Folk (民间) Houses in China” * Around 100 models of folk houses made by students were on show. * Students created their beautiful models by completing their own DIY jobs Students ‘DIY experiences Gao Ruidi,13 * She decided to make a group of buildings in order to show people’s 3 in the area south of the Yangtze River.

You can use it to improve your reading skills. You can make a mind map by using a pen and paper easily. The first step is to draw a circle（圆圈）at the center of the page. Inside your circle, write down the main idea of your mind map. For example, if you were making a mind map about the geography of the United States, then you would write down “the geography of the United States” inside your circle in the middle of the page. Next you draw branches（分支）from your central idea. Just like a tree grows branches. Draw a line moving away from the central theme. For the geography of the United States, you will draw 50 lines. Each line represents（代表）one of 50 states（州）. Each of the lines can have branches off of each. These would represent the main example under each category（分类）. For example, under the line with the title（标题）“Texas”, you would find lines called Austin, Houston, and Dallas, you might draw a series of lines to represent some of its main parts like “South Dallas” and “Highland Park”. You go on drawing your mind map just like the structure of branches on a tree. Mind map helps improve your understanding because they make you quickly find the relationships between main ideas, categories, examples, and details. But if you use more traditional note-taking ways, the result is not the same. 阅读以上信息，用恰当的单词完成下面的表格，每空一词。 The Most Powerful Tool of 1 Reading Skills Name of the tool Mind map.

Here’s how to get yours off to a flying start. When you set up your book club, the first thing is to get members for your club. They could be friends, family, or those you know through various activities, but they should all love to read. A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book club. Too many make discussions difficult. Once you have a group, agree on how often you want to meet—usually clubs meet monthly. Pick a date and stick with it. That way, members can easily plan for it. Send out emails a week before the meeting to give people a written reminder. Set meeting time length. An hour is a good start. Two hours usually does the trick. Then, you need a good place. Libraries, parks and restaurants—all make good meeting places. For many clubs, homes are the best place as you don’t have to get dressed up, and noisy public places can make talking hard. If members bring a plate of food or a bottle, it can help start conversation. Please don’t forget the most important thing—the book! Think about the books your club will enjoy. Fiction? Non-fiction? Your club can choose books in different ways. You can take turns to recommend books. Let everyone vote upon what book to read. Anyway, make sure to keep it light and fun. After all this has been decided, your book club is ready. Now, it’s time to hold the first meeting. Enjoy your reading.

As a student with some exam experiences, I want to share some tips that have helped me face final exams. First, no waiting. I usually begin my review about two weeks earlier. Although the exam preparation starts about one week before the final exam. Don’t start it when we are worried by a lot of homework and tests. No one in the final weeks will have much memory of what they learnt in one week. I usually go through the notes I took to refresh（恢复）my memory. This helps me get the parts that I do not understand well and be better prepared for the practice exams that I do later. At least, it gives me a sense of control. This can be very important when you lose yourself. Second, don’t stay up. A lot of people stay up late reviewing before the exam, but this is not healthy at all. Sleep is necessary to get back our situations. In fact, sleep can help strengthen（增强）our memories! I recommend this based on（依赖于）my personal experience—I always feel tired the next day if I go to sleep after 2 a.m. Without enough sleep, I can’t stay thinking. We don’t need to review instead of sleeping time. Third, study with friends. This may not work for everyone, but I personally find it helpful. Having friends to study with not only provides us with chances to find out blind spots in our understanding but also allows us to have different ways, which are helpful in problem-solving. Also, studying with friends can keep me thinking, and talking to them can make me calm. Topic How to face the final exams Facts The final exam often makes you students 1 in November.

In order not to make them lose trust in you, find some proper time to tell them what you really often do and like to do. And they may understand you. ●Get through the difficult times with small tricks. People never know what kind of chocolate they are going to taste. It is true of life. When your friends taste the bad one, why not tell funny things about yourself, like “Am I like a round ball?”. Hearing this, your friends may be happy again. The best friends may not always agree with each other and even have few words for days. Some small tricks like telling jokes or calling him or her nickname（绰号）may help you get along with your friends better. ●Find right ways to communicate（交流）warmly. There is no doubt that people like to communicate with their close friends as often as possible. Remember those special days in your friends’ lives. Sometimes you book a table to help celebrate your friend’s birthday, but when you call her, she tells you her birthday is not that day. Don’t make it happen and remember the exact date.

He enjoys his work, but it is not easy for him to relax(放松) after work. One day when he saw many toy dogs in a toy shop, he had an idea. “Why not make them myself?” Then he began to make model planes, model ships and something else. He was interested in it because it brings him lots of fun and makes life colourful. So what is DIY? Yes, it is making or creating (创造) things by yourselves, with your own hands. It may take much time, but some people, now known as DIYers—do-it-yourselfers, enjoy doing it very much. They enjoy it because it is fun. And they also say it helps them save money, too. What’s more, they think it is a good way to protect the environment (环境). It is a kind of green life. In fact, DIY is not a modern thing in China. Many people remember when it was once a way of life in the past. During the 1960s and 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things. If you wanted something, you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something, you made it yourself. Times have changed and DIY also has different meanings.

Around 100 models of folk houses made by students were on show, including homes from canal (运河) towns in the area south of the Yangtze River, Xizang and other places. Students created their beautiful models by completing their own DIY jobs. Gao Ruidi,13, from Jiangsu In the area south of the Yangtze River, people live beside the river. I love people’s lifestyles there. So I decided to make a group of buildings to show this, including a river with a bridge, classic houses and a pavilion (亭子). When I made it, the pavilion kept falling over. To fix this, I finally changed from using plasticine (橡皮泥) to wooden sticks (木棍). At last, I made it. With this experience, I saw the beauty of traditional folk houses. Wu Maolin,13, from Anhui I found Ma Tou Walls (马头墙) in the region south of the Yangtze River interesting because they looked like staircases (楼梯). Before making my model, I looked up why they were built this way. In these areas, houses are built close together, so if one house catches fire, it could quickly spread (传播) to others. To prevent this, people build Ma Tou Walls that rise above the roofs. While making the model, I used mortise and tenon joints (榫卯结构) to make the house stronger. By doing this, I knew ancient people were so clever. And it also helped me learn more about traditional Chinese culture. 1 * Beijing RCF Experimental School 2 a special show on “Folk (民间) Houses in China” * Around 100 models of folk houses made by students were on show. * Students created their beautiful models by completing their own DIY jobs Students ‘DIY experiences Gao Ruidi,13 * She decided to make a group of buildings in order to show people’s 3 in the area south of the Yangtze River.

Most students are afraid of tests mainly because they don’t have enough self-confidence and they don’t always think they are well prepared. If you follow the tips below, it’s not difficult to overcome (克服) your fear of tests. People who know that they are not well-prepared are usually those who fear test most. However, most students don’t know when they are truly prepared for a test. As long as (只要) you know that you have studied well and long enough, you have reason to believe that you are well-prepared. Be confident about yourself. Confidence before a test can bring about two things: either you fail the test and feel as if your confidence was unfounded (毫无根据的) or you could get success in the test because of your confidence. As long as you have studied hard, you will be more confident of your chance to succeed in a test. Ask your teacher in advance (提前) about the material that is going to be covered in the test. In this way, you will know what you should prepare for and you can get confidence in the test. But you have to be brave enough to ask. Most students do not ask unless their teacher gives the information first. You should know that tests are only telling if you have got the knowledge, not how good or bad your IQ is. Fear can be a problem in the process of achieving success. However, with the right attitude (态度) and preparations, you can overcome your fear of tests by using these tips. 1 to overcome your fear of tests 2 Prepare well You should make good preparations.

First, discuss all you would like to do with your classmates. Choose one of the members to write down what you’re talking about. Then, with the ideas you get, list all you want. Everyone shares the duty for the project. You can collect information not only from books but also on the Internet. Making a survey and doing a research are also good ways.

We must change the five wrong ideas about language learning. Language learning is difficult. If you don’t want to learn a language, it is difficult. Learning a language takes time, but is not difficult. You need to listen and read. Soon you will enjoy speaking another language. You have to have a gift (天赋) or learning languages No, you don’t. Anyone who wants to can learn. In Sweden and Holland most people speak more than one language. Not all of them have such a gift. Attitude (态度) is very important for language learning. You have to live in foreign countries Some immigrants (移民) to the US may speak poor English. But many people in other countries can speak good English. Where you live is not important. Practice makes good speakers. Only children can learn another language well You’re wrong. Because adults (成年人) know more words of their mother language and know more ways to learn, they are better language learners than children.   I would love to learn but I don’t have the time When you are doing things around the house or going for a walk, you can practise listening on your iPod. 15 or 30 minutes a day will be OK. If you really want to learn, you will find the time.

You can use it to improve your reading skills. You can make a mind map by using a pen and paper easily. The first step is to draw a circle（圆圈）at the center of the page. Inside your circle, write down the main idea of your mind map. For example, if you were making a mind map about the geography of the United States, then you would write down “the geography of the United States” inside your circle in the middle of the page. Next you draw branches（分支）from your central idea. Just like a tree grows branches. Draw a line moving away from the central theme. For the geography of the United States, you will draw 50 lines. Each line represents（代表）one of 50 states（州）. Each of the lines can have branches off of each. These would represent the main example under each category（分类）. For example, under the line with the title（标题）“Texas”, you would find lines called Austin, Houston, and Dallas, you might draw a series of lines to represent some of its main parts like “South Dallas” and “Highland Park”. You go on drawing your mind map just like the structure of branches on a tree. Mind map helps improve your understanding because they make you quickly find the relationships between main ideas, categories, examples, and details. But if you use more traditional note-taking ways, the result is not the same. 阅读以上信息，用恰当的单词完成下面的表格，每空一词。 The Most Powerful Tool of 1 Reading Skills Name of the tool Mind map.

We study Chinese, Maths and English. We also have other subjects like Geography, History and computer studies. I like Maths best among all the subjects. After-school activities We have different clubs after school. Some clubs are for fun, such as the Guitar Club, the Chess Club and the Basketball Club. Some clubs are for study, such as the Maths Club, the Physics Club and the Geography Club. I am a member of the English Singing Club. It is fun to sing English songs. We sometimes practise English in the English Corner. I have improved my spoken English a lot. On Wednesday and Thursday, we go to the library and borrow some books and magazines. Time seems to travel faster when we do the reading. Elder brothers and sisters Boys and girls have lessons together at our school. There are more than 1,800 students here. Many new students need help to learn more about the new school. They may have problems with their new school life. When they have problems, they sometimes don’t want to tell the teachers. They may feel better if they can talk to the older students. At our school, the older students can join the Helping Hands Club.

Here’s how to get yours off to a flying start. When you set up your book club, the first thing is to get members for your club. They could be friends, family, or those you know through various activities, but they should all love to read. A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book club. Too many make discussions difficult. Once you have a group, agree on how often you want to meet—usually clubs meet monthly. Pick a date and stick with it. That way, members can easily plan for it. Send out emails a week before the meeting to give people a written reminder. Set meeting time length. An hour is a good start. Two hours usually does the trick. Then, you need a good place. Libraries, parks and restaurants—all make good meeting places. For many clubs, homes are the best place as you don’t have to get dressed up, and noisy public places can make talking hard. If members bring a plate of food or a bottle, it can help start conversation. Please don’t forget the most important thing—the book! Think about the books your club will enjoy. Fiction? Non-fiction? Your club can choose books in different ways. You can take turns to recommend books. Let everyone vote upon what book to read. Anyway, make sure to keep it light and fun. After all this has been decided, your book club is ready. Now, it’s time to hold the first meeting. Enjoy your reading. How to 1 a book club 2 members * You can include those who share your 3 for reading. * 4 matters. Seven to ten people are enough for discussion. Setting the time * Set a fixed time.

As a student with some exam experiences, I want to share some tips that have helped me face final exams. First, no waiting. I usually begin my review about two weeks earlier. Although the exam preparation starts about one week before the final exam. Don’t start it when we are worried by a lot of homework and tests. No one in the final weeks will have much memory of what they learnt in one week. I usually go through the notes I took to refresh（恢复）my memory. This helps me get the parts that I do not understand well and be better prepared for the practice exams that I do later. At least, it gives me a sense of control. This can be very important when you lose yourself. Second, don’t stay up. A lot of people stay up late reviewing before the exam, but this is not healthy at all. Sleep is necessary to get back our situations. In fact, sleep can help strengthen（增强）our memories! I recommend this based on（依赖于）my personal experience—I always feel tired the next day if I go to sleep after 2 a.m. Without enough sleep, I can’t stay thinking. We don’t need to review instead of sleeping time. Third, study with friends. This may not work for everyone, but I personally find it helpful. Having friends to study with not only provides us with chances to find out blind spots in our understanding but also allows us to have different ways, which are helpful in problem-solving. Also, studying with friends can keep me thinking, and talking to them can make me calm. Topic How to face the final exams Facts The final exam often makes you students 1 in November.

But it is very possible that you find it hard. Here are some tips you can try. First of all, please don’t change your talk into a quarrel (吵架) at any time. It is better to show the ideas and facts. By showing facts, you show that you are right. Secondly, don’t say “You’re wrong”. If you think someone is wrong, a better way to point it out is to use “may/might be wrong”, not “you are wrong”. This opens up the door for both of you to talk about your ideas. It shows that you’re open to new ideas. Thirdly, get the other person to say yes. You may begin talking about the hobbies he or she has. A small talk like this will make it easier for your friend to accept (接受) you and then they will be more open to your ideas. It makes you two trust each other. And don’t forget to let the other person talk enough. By listening to them talk patiently, you show that you really care about what they think. This will earn respect (赢得尊重) and trust. So when it’s your turn to talk, they’ll listen. In a word, you should respect others all the time when you don’t agree with each other. And, don’t feel down if your friend isn’t willing to change. A gentleman gets along with others, but doesn’t necessarily ( 必 要 地 ) agree with them, right? 1 to change a friend’s mind It may be hard to change your friends’ mind. But you can try.

The survey shows if people want to live longer and more happily, you need to have some friends who can share your sadness and happiness or can be helpful when you are in trouble. The following friends are just what you need to keep the doctor away. A Loyal Best Friend Everyone needs a friend who will support you in different situations.

It’s a shame, because some neighbors can be the most helpful people. If you forget to lock the front door when you are on holiday, you can call your neighbors to lock it for you. So it’s wonderful to have nice and helpful neighbors. A Workmate You’ll find it much easier to chat with someone than eating lunch alone every day. Your workmate doesn’t have to be your best friend. If you two get along with each other, you can always start going out with them outside of the office. A Friend from a Different Culture If everyone has a friend from a different culture, the world would be much better.
