浙江省桐乡市、海宁市2020年中考英语联考一模试卷
In the USA, you can only get a full-time job if you are 16 years old or older. But there are things that teenagers can do to earn(赚) some spending money. Here're a few ideas.
Parents with young children sometimes want to go out for dinner or to the movies, but they don't want to leave their children alone. So, they ask a teenager to stay in the house, be a baby-sitter and look after their children while they're out. If the children go to bed early, you can do some of your homework!
Some people have a dog, but they don't have time to take it for a walk. Dogs need a lot of exercise! So some teenagers work as dog walkers. It's a good idea - you earn money and you're outside in the fresh air. You get some exercise, too!
Teenagers can work at home on their computers. Some companies pay teenagers to take online surveys. They want to know what teenagers are interested in. It's a fun and easy way to make money. You can also design web pages for friends or others. Do you have any old toys, books or CDs you don't use? Sell them online and make some money!
Sometimes, some families pay teenagers to mow their lawns(草坪). It's a great job because you get fresh air and exercise. Mow a lawn carefully and people will want you to do it again. Then you have regular customers, because grass always grows.
You can choose one of them to earn some money. Then you can spend it or save it! But don't forget it's important to always tell your parents where you're going. Be safe when you work.
Dear Li Hua, How are you? It's in the middle of December and I am getting ready for Christmas here. I'd like to tell you about Christmas in the UK. Christmas is on 25th December. We don't go to school or work on that day. On Christmas Eve children put up big socks. Do you know why we do this? We wait for Father Christmas with presents. He is a fat man with white beard(胡子). We think he comes and puts presents in socks every year. The next day, we get up early and open our presents. Then we have a big dinner with our family. We put a Christmas tree in our house and decorate (装饰) it with lights and presents. In the afternoon, we watch TV or play games at home. Please tell me something about Spring Festival in China. What do your family do on Spring Festival Eve(前夕)? Hope to hear from you soon. Best wishes, Tony |
Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining
Claire, America Sometimes something good comes out of a bad thing. Last month,I took a photo of an amazing sunset over a lake when hiking in a park. Then I decided to send it to my brother Charley. Anyway, I dropped my phone in the water. OMG! I lost all my photos and my phone. Well, luckily, Charley sent my sunset photo to the TV station. Today, they chose it for Photo of the Month, and I won a new camera. Maybe every cloud has a silver lining! |
Sue, Canada Ten years ago, my car broke down on my way to school. I didn't have enough money to fix it, so that term I had to get up at 5:00 a. m. every day to take the bus. One cold, wet morning, I felt really tired. But this guy started talking to me on the bus, and he really made me laugh! I also found that we studied at the same school. We exchanged phone numbers, and the rest is history. Ten years later, we' re married with two children. Oh, and a new car! Every cloud has a silver lining! |
Yang, China Some weeks ago, I helped a Malaysian friend Andrew move his things into my house. He lost his job and needed a place to stay. But I hurt my back when carrying some heavy boxes. It was really bad, so I had to go to the hospital. Anyway, I saw an advertisement for a computer programmer at the hospital. I called my friend, and he got the job! At least his cloud had a silver lining! Though I do have my house all to myself again. |
