Online learning is a process (过程) different from what you will find in a traditional school. The learning environment and methods are different. When studying in a classroom, there is a lot of communication (沟通) between the students and the teacher, but little interaction (互动) among the students, while online learning helps one student and another to interact very seriously and closely. So one of the online teacher’s roles is to encourage students to interact. Another is to guide the discussion, but not to take total control of students’ thoughts as teachers do in a classroom. So what are the good learning habits you should have in online learning? Here are some good suggestions. First, it is a good idea to prepare well for online learning. You can write down daily tasks and even weekly tasks that you want to complete. By doing so, you will have a good plan for achieving your goals. Second, you should spend as much time online as if you were going to regular courses. Also, always try to set aside (留出) extra time to communicate with other students. Besides this, any post you put up online shows who you are. So make sure that you spell every word and write every sentence correctly. Last, hand in your homework on time so that you don’t fall behind. 1．What is important if you want to study online? 2．What are teachers’ roles in online learning? 3．Do you think online learning is good? Why or why not? 话题2 学习外语的原因、学习地点、学习方式等 （25-26八年级上·江苏无锡·期中）Studying a foreign language Mike At the moment, I’m learning Spanish because I’d like to be a newspaperman one day, and being able to speak other languages is important for this job.

It was difficult at first because I was a complete beginner. But I worked hard and after just six months, I was able to speak and write the language quite well. I’m really happy about that. Lucy I lived in lots of different countries because of my dad’s job, so I had to learn several different languages. I seem to learn them quite easily. The last place I lived was Thailand (泰国). Now I’m back in my home country, but I still study Thai. I want to keep chatting with my Thai classmates. I found a new app with exercises in Thai, and I can’t wait to use it each morning because it’s so much fun. Anna My mum comes from Russia and her parents still live there. We often stay with them during the school holidays, but unluckily I didn’t learn Russian when I was little, so talking to them was always hard. After our last trip, I decided it was time for me to learn the language and I found a course at my local college-we work hard and the teacher makes us laugh. I think that’s why I never forget any of the words she teaches us. 4．Who is learning a foreign language for a future job? 5．Where does Mike learn Spanish? 6．How does Lucy practise Thai? 7．Why did Anna think it was hard to talk to her grandparents? 8．What methods do the three teenagers have in common in language learning? 话题3 手工制作的益处 （25-26八年级上·江苏常州·期中）阅读下面短文，回答短文后的问题，前3题每题答案不超过10词，第4题字数不限。 Try crafting!

Reading together with others, known as buddy (同伴) reading, will make this journey even more fantastic. During the journey, the buddies spend time doing a lot of reading activities. This not only adds to the pleasure of reading but also deepens their understanding of the books. Although it is all right to have students join in buddy reading with same-aged schoolmates, schools usually pair up older students with younger ones. In 2021, Green School started such a program and has achieved a great success. Both younger and older readers in this school have learned a lot from this two-year reading program. For example, when they listened to each other, they learned to be kind and patient. This experience also provided them with a chance to practice lifelong skills such as exercising leadership or communicating with others. A student called Jason said that reading to a younger buddy was really helpful. He became more confident, as he knew he was a role model for someone. The school also became a closer community. The reading buddies felt more connected as they often met each other. The students were always excited when they saw their buddies pass by in the hallway. Now summer vacation is coming. It’s a great time to get into books. Why not pair up with a friend, choose a book you both like and read it together? 18．What is buddy reading? 19．When did Green School start such a program? 20．How long was the program? 21．What did Jason think of reading to a younger buddy? 22．Do you like reading?

But in recent years, Chinese animation, or “Guoman”, has been getting more and more attention. One of the most successful Chinese animations is “Ne Zha”. Released in 2019, it broke many box office records. The film is based on a Chinese myth about a young hero named Ne Zha. With beautiful pictures and an exciting story, it won the hearts of millions of people. Many people said it was the best Chinese animation they had ever seen. Another popular animation is “Monkey King: Hero is Back”. This film tells the story of the Monkey King, a character from the classic Chinese novel “Journey to the West”. The film shows a new side of this old character—he is not just a hero, but also a boy who makes mistakes and learns from them. Children love this character because he is brave, funny, and kind. Chinese animation is not just about old stories. Many new animations are about modern life. For example, “Mr. Miao” tells stories about a cat and his friends in a modern city. The show teaches children to be kind and helpful. Why is Chinese animation becoming so popular? Experts say there are three main reasons. First, the quality of Chinese animation has improved a lot. Second, more and more people are interested in traditional Chinese culture. Third, Chinese animators are now telling stories that Chinese people really care about. In the future, we can expect to see more wonderful Chinese animations on the big screen. 16．When was the film “Ne Zha” released? 17．What book is the Monkey King from? 18．What does the show “Mr. Miao” teach children to do? 19．Do you think Chinese animation will become more popular in the future?

But all my experiences with the language were in the classroom. When I was 17, I flew across the country by myself for the first time!I headed for Quebec to live with a French-speaking host family, who didn’t speak any English. And I would learn French at a local school. On the first day of school, the local school gave us students a test to determine (测定) our language level. We needed to only speak French all summer. I made every effort to communicate (交流) in a second language by making new friends, seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French. Though I couldn’t understand most of it at the very beginning, the experience was exciting and refreshing. On weekends, my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province. On one trip, we went whale watching on the St Lawrence River Even though it was raining, we could see huge whales swimming around our boat. The most wonderful part of our trip was a visit to Old Quebec. I walked along the stone street, took pictures of the European-style buildings, and learned some stories there. At the end of the summer, I was able to communicate pretty well. I couldn’t wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher. Being lost in a French-speaking environment was a valuable learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French. 25．When did the writer start learning French? 26．How did the local school determine the students’ language level? 27．Where did the writer take trips on weekends? 28．What did the writer think of the visit to Old Quebec? 29．What kind of girl is the writer?

I thought it would be a great way to add a personal touch to my room. First, I gathered all the materials I needed, including some wooden sticks, glue, scissors, and colorful crayons. I started by cutting the wooden sticks into the right lengths to form the frame. However, it wasn’t as easy as I thought. The sticks kept splitting when I cut them. I was a bit impatient, but I didn’t give up. I adjusted (调整) the way I held the scissors and tried again. Finally, I got all the pieces cut. Next, I glued the sticks together to form the frame. While waiting for the glue to dry, I used the crayons to draw some cute patterns on the frame. When I picked up the frame, the corners came apart because the glue wasn’t strong enough. I had to re-glue them and hold them tightly for a while. After several attempts (尝试), my DIY photo frame was finally done. I put a beautiful photo of my family inside. Looking at the finished frame, I felt a great sense of success. This hands-on experience taught me that making something with my own hands can be full of challenges, but the joy of creating is truly worth it. 30．What problem did the writer meet when cutting the wooden sticks for the photo frame? 31．Why did the writer re-glue the corners? 32．How did the writer feel after finishing the DIY photo frame?

I started by cutting the wooden sticks into the right lengths to form the frame. However, it wasn’t as easy as I thought. The sticks kept splitting when I cut them.

While waiting for the glue to dry, I used the crayons to draw some cute patterns on the frame. When I picked up the frame, the corners came apart because the glue wasn’t strong enough. I had to re-glue them and hold them tightly for a while. After several attempts (尝试), my DIY photo frame was finally done. I put a beautiful photo of my family inside.
