新目标(Gofor it)版初中英语九年级下学期Unit 13 We're trying to save theearth! 自主检测(含小段音频)
Dear Mom and Dad,
How are you? I hope everything is okay. I'm doing well.
Here at Valley College, I'm very busy with my English classes at the ESL Center. My teacher says, "It's important to practice English outside the classroom." That's why I'm writing this e-mail in English!
Sometimes I'm a little afraid to use my English, but people are usually nice. I speak English with others here in the dorm(宿舍) and the dining room.
I feel very comfortable here. This college has everything! It's like a small city. The student store is next to my dorm. There's a beautiful garden across from the student store. The health center is on the corner, across from my dorm. The sports center is on the corner of College Avenue and Garden Street, There are three coffee shops on College Avenue!
There is one thing the college doesn't have, Mom: your cooking!
Love,
Sunny

Can you imagine(想象) you can fish in your house on a cold winter day? Now we are going to tell you about a special kind of house—the ice(冰) fishing house. Staying in a house like that, you can even do the fishing and watch TV at the same time!
In North America and North Europe (北欧),many people like fishing on the ice in cold winter. But it's too cold to stay in the open air, so people think of making an ice fishing house. The house is right on the ice. The ice must be strong enough to carry it. In the house, people can dig(挖) some holes in the ice and begin fishing. People can have a lot of fun in their ice fishing houses. In the houses, there are enough things for everyday use. Some even have a bedroom, a kitchen and a toilet. How comfortable! After fishing, people can cook the fish and enjoy their dinner.
Today, most of the ice fishing houses can move(移动). They are made of light materials. Some ice fishing houses can move after fishing. Would you like to have a stay in an ice fishing house? You will like it!

Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying, "Friends are God's way of taking care of us." But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
The American writer--Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seeds(种子)and take care of it to make it grow.
First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints(抱怨) and do his or her best to help. To make a friend, you cannot be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your life.
But things cannot always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, talk to him or her honestly. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you can write a letter.
There are some steps to be friends again.
Tell him or her how you are feeling; say what your friend did wrong and explain why you did this or that; Don't forget that friendship is the most important thing in your life.

Making a public speech is the thing that most people don't want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. It's just a simple talking, Although I'm a shy man, I've been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:
Keep your speech simple. Your audience can't take all of your main ideas, and they can only remember one or two of them, not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you can't express what you want to say, then your speech will not be paid attention to. And if you don't have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience won't, either.
Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is, you have to organize your speech—how you are going to open or begin, what main points you want to make and how you're going to close or end. A strong close is usually very important and critical(关键的): the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not, they will be confused.
Keep your speech not long. The standard (标准的) length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can't put their minds in one thing for too long time, which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience's reaction(反应),the audience will get bored. Of course, your speech will fail.
Following these suggestions above, you can make a good speech in public, and you will be an excellent speaker, I think.
