译林版八年级上册Unit 2 School life · Reading 重难点精讲&巩固练习
译林版(2024)八年级上册 | 主讲课文:School lives —— Nancy(英国)& Tomoya(日本)
一、课文原文
1. Life in a British School(南希·英国)
My name is Nancy. I am at Woodland Secondary School near London. Our school is small, so we have fewer students and smaller classes than most schools. We go to different classrooms for different lessons. There are many interesting subjects to choose from, such as drama and foreign languages. To us, learning Chinese may not be as simple as learning French or German, but I am looking forward to having a go. The arts are as important as languages, Maths and Science at our school. We have a special building just for art, music and drama lessons. Being creative is great, and it helps us study better in other subjects. Time flies when we are enjoying school!
2. Life in a Japanese School(友哉·日本)
I am Tomoya from Japan, a Year 8 student at Gekko Middle School in Tokyo. Japan is one of the countries with the most earthquakes in the world, so our school offers different safety programmes to teach us how to survive in the face of danger. We get plenty of hands-on experiences from these programmes. Our school also pays a lot of attention to food education. We learn how to cook meals and eat well. In this way, we are more aware of the importance of a healthy diet. Cleaning is another important tradition in Japanese schools. Every day at school, we clean classrooms, toilets and other school areas carefully by ourselves. This helps us develop good habits from an early age.
