Use a word on the left and a word on the right to create a compound word. What other compound words do you know?
green sand high
farm rail
+
storm way land
house road
=
greenhouse,
复合词构成规律:修饰词+核心名词=新的复合名词
1.组合方式:左边的词(多为名词/形容词)+右边的词(多为名词) =新的复合名词。
green (形容词)+ house (名词)= greenhouse (温室)
sand (名词)+ storm (名词)= sandstorm (沙尘暴)
2.语义逻辑:前一个词用来修饰 / 限定后一个词,表达一个更具体的概念。
high (高的)+ way (路)= highway (高速公路,即 “高等级的路” )
farm (农场)+ land (土地)= farmland (农田,即 “用于农场的土地” )
rail (铁轨)+ road (路)= railroad (铁路,即 “铺有铁轨的路” )

Read the text. What has stayed the same in the student’s life?
Changes in My Life
Now that I am older, my life is different from when I was in primary school. For example, my primary school was near my home, so I used to walk to school with my parents. Now my junior high school is farther from home. I take a bus every day with my friends.
My home has changed too. My family used to live in a small flat, but now we have moved to a much larger one. My grandma lives with us now as well. She has her own room and her own TV set. I am glad that I get to see her every day.
The way I study is also different. I have become more confident in my studies and often attend group discussions. I enjoy studying with my friends. It's amazing how much we have achieved together.
My life has changed in many ways, but one thing has stayed the same: the feeling of love and happiness shared by my family.

单元主题写作
本单元的写作围绕“变化”这一核心主题展开,引导我们从个人生活与生态环境两个层面,用今昔对比的方式记录变化,并在变化中提炼不变的精神内核:在个人生活变迁的微观视角上,以学生从小学到初中的成长为载体,从上学方式、居住环境、学习模式等方面,用used to... Now...句型描述具体变化;在生态环境变迁的宏观视角上,以塞罕坝的绿色奇迹为典型案例,展现生态治理的宏大变化;写作核心要求为采用“个人变化+环境变化+不变内核”的三段式结构,用对比逻辑清晰呈现内容,熟练运用used to... Now...句型描述今昔差异,结合单元词汇(如sandstorm, bush, capital等)丰富表达,并在描述变化的基础上点明“变化中的不变”——个人层面的亲情与社会层面的奋斗精神,让文章有温度、有深度。

Changes Around Us
Now, our world is full of changes. Both my personal life and the environment have changed a lot.
In my life, I used to walk to primary school with my parents because it was close to home. Now I take a bus to junior high school with my friends, as it is farther. My home has changed too—we used to live in a small flat, but now we have a larger one, and my grandma lives with us. For study, I used to study alone, but now I like joining group discussions with my friends.
The environment has also changed greatly. Saihanba used to be sandy land with few trees and many sandstorms. With the government’s help, people planted bushes and trees, turning it into a beautiful man-made forest.
Though many things have changed, the love from my family and the spirit of working hard to improve our world always stay the same.

写作实践
Great Changes in My Life
My life has changed a lot in the past two years. When I was in primary school, I used to be quiet and shy. I was afraid to speak in front of others and never joined group activities.
Now I am a junior high school student. I have become more outgoing. I often talk with my classmates and teachers, and I enjoy attending different kinds of group discussions. Besides, I used to walk to school, but now I take a bus every day because my school is farther from home.
These changes make my life more colorful and meaningful. I am glad to see how I have grown up.
Sample 1
Great Changes in My Hometown
My hometown is a small town, and it has changed greatly in recent years. In the past, there were only narrow and dirty roads. People used to travel by bike or on foot, and there were few tall buildings.
But now, the roads are wide and clean. Many tall buildings have been built, and people can take buses or cars to go anywhere easily. There is also a beautiful park in our town where people can exercise and relax.
I love my hometown’s new look. It becomes more and more beautiful, and people’s life is getting better and better.
Sample 2
Great Changes in My Study
As I grow older, my study has changed a lot. When I was in Grade Seven, I used to be bad at English. I couldn’t remember new words easily and was afraid to speak English.
Now, with the help of my teacher and classmates, I have made great progress. I read English every morning, take notes carefully in class, and often practice speaking with my friends. I have become more confident in English and even get good grades in exams.
These changes tell me that as long as I work hard, I can improve myself. I will keep trying in the future.
