江苏省泰州市凤凰初级中学、明珠实验中学等四校2020-2021学年八年级上学期英语第一次月考试卷
I like to get up late, so my ideal school starts at9 a. m. It finishes at 3p.m. , so we will have lots of time for after-school activities. There is a big dining hall.
We have an hour for lunch. We eat lunch and chat there. We can also listen to pop music in the hall. We eat fruit and vegetables every day. We have Maths every day because I think Maths is very interesting to us. I love computers, so we have Computer Studies every day. We wear school uniforms, but we do not wear ties. The classes are quite small. There are 15 students in each class.
There is a park on one side of our school and a shopping mall on the other. We have a big library with lots of useful books. We also have a tennis court and a swimming pool.
There are lots of clubs and after-school activities. We only have half an hour of homework every day, and we do not do homework at weekends. Every month, we go on a school trip to a museum or a theatre.
How do you talk with people when meeting them if you want to leave a good impression? Here a some tips for you/
Tip 1 | You have to show up, which can be a challenge for many of us. You can show up as an observer（旁观者）of other interesting people and let that be a learning experience for you. Before you start talking, it's important to just listen, even if you think you are a wise storyteller. If you are close to a group of people who are discussing a topic, watch their body language and see if they will let you join in their conversation. |
Tip 2 | You'd better go in the conversation with a couple of topics to keep it going, or questions to ask if there is a short stop. Simple things like "How do you know the host?”and "How did you get here?” are always good conversation starters to a certain extent（在一定程度上）. |
Tip 3 | Don't fear silences. Awkward（令人尴尬的）silences are common part of talking with people, just rush to fill them. If you don't want to go on with the conversation, just say you are going to get another drink or something to eat, and find another group to talk with. |
Tip 4 | Relax. If you cannot keep a conversation going, or you don't know what you should say next, give yourself a little time to clear your head. Relax, and then turn back into the discussion. |

When people travel abroad(国外), they sometimes stay in the homes of the local people. This is a homestay.
I am living with an old English couple, in the west of London. They have a clean four-bedroom house. This is a new house. It has two bathrooms and a garden with many beautiful flowers. I have a bedroom of my own.
There are some shopping centres and a restaurant next to the house, and the house is close to an underground station. It takes about 30 minutes to take an underground to the centre of London.
I think a homestay may be a good choice for you if it is your first time to visit abroad. The local people are friendly and ready to help. If you want to celebrate the holidays with them, you will get to know more about their culture and customs.

Do you have any difficulties while studying? In fact, to learn with success is not a very difficult task if you follow some basic rules. I hope they will help you study successfully.
All problems can be solved by working hard. It makes the fool wise, the poor rich, the weak strong. It makes a wonderful difference. In learning, a hard—working fool gets more than a lazy wise.
To set our heart on one thing at a time and give up all other thoughts is also a good way. Those who often change their subjects will never succeed. For this reason, while you are learning one subject, don't consider learning another one in order to be successful.
Constancy (持之以恒) makes a certain (必然). On the other hand, inconstancy often results failure(失败).If we study day after day, than is nothing that can not be achieved. We should remember a worthy saying "'Constant dropping of water wears away a nonce"
Besides, to be on time is another rule. It helps to achieve your dream. The habit of keeping certain hours is of very importance to successful learning. Work while you wok; play while you play. Every man will certainly become strong and wise as long as we does so.
