I'm Hongmei. I{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (learn) English for many years, but I don't find it easy. I went to an English-speaking country on our last vacation, and I could not speak to the people very {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (good). Our tour guide spoke English for us. Now I know it is important {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (learn) more English, so I'm having extra {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (lesson) in my free time. I believe it can help{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(I) improve my English more soon.

    I have two good friends. Their{#blank#}1{#/blank#}are Paul and Jack. They are twin(孪生) brothers. Here{#blank#}2{#/blank#}（be）two nice photos of their family. The {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(one) photo is their family photo. These are their grandparents. They are their{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(mother) parents. Their mother looks like (看起来像) their grandfather. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(that) are their parents. Paul and Jack are in the middle of them. This is a very happy (幸福的) family. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the next photo, we can see a book. It's{#blank#}7{#/blank#}English book. It's {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(my). A dictionary is in the picture, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. It is {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(Paul). We are all in No. 1 Middle School.

    A new term begins. We are glad {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (return)to school again. In Grade 8, we have a new subject {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Some students think it is hard, but some think it is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (interest) Mr. Smith is our teacher. He is from {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (English). He is friendly and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (knowledge) He advises us {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (study) hard.

    In his first class, Mr. Smith asked what we liked and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. The students were active about this question. Kate told us her favourite food was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (pancake), but she didn't like meat. To our {#blank#}9{#/blank#} Tony, a naughty boy, said that he liked {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (copy) others homework, for he didn't like study.

    Classmates are an important part of our school days. I am sure everybody agrees with me on this. They can make boring classes  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(excite), they can keep our secrets and they can understand what it is like to be a student. It is important for us{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(build) close relationships with classmates, for man is{#blank#}3{#/blank#}island.

    Firstly, we should try to be part of a team. Everybody  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(have) different ideas and beliefs. There is always someone {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(make) a compromise (妥协) when we work together, but we always let other people do the job. So working with classmates helps us to describe our ideas politely and {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(careful).

    Secondly, we can have class trips to improve our relationship. Students always forget outdoor{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(activity). We need to have fun to have a healthy way of life. Trips would kill two birds with just one stone. We can relax and improve the relationship with {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(we) classmates at the same time.

At last, help others  {#blank#}9{#/blank#}they are in need. We should help them {#blank#}10{#/blank#}something about work, and also show we care about them in daily lives. A simple "Hi, how is your day" is enough if you mean it.

    I think with all these in mind, we can all get on well with our classmates.
