After We Are All Fighters, the first English inspirational speech video against COVID-19 (新冠肺炎) came out, in just a few days, the video was played nearly 600,000 times on the platform, was praised by hundreds of thousands of Chinese and foreign netizens (网民), and was also reproduced by many media (媒体). The speech in the form of a poem was written in Chinese and English by Liu Jie from Shenzhen.

    Liu Jie said, "When I see the increasingly serious epidemic (流行病) situation make our country and hundreds of millions of people in great danger, my heart ache. I think maybe language can give us the hope, confidence and courage to keep fighting. I also write in English because I hope we can not only show our countrymen, we can also let those in other countries who care about us and help us or don't care about China see that we have the spirit, history and determination(决心) to win!"

    In the speech, she says, "This is a war without smoke/ and we are all fighters/... Our people may get sick/ our city may get sick/ but we as a brave nation/ will never ever get sick/... / We've been on this planet for over 5,000 years/ We've witnessed (见证) much darker moments/...We've always stood back up on our feet/ We've always won in the end/ And we will definitely (肯定) win this time/...No matter how strong our enemy was/ Or how impossible it seemed to win/ We just kept fighting/ Because we are all fighters!" How encouraging her words are! We really feel the blood boiling after listening.

    Also, this speech is also a good material for practicing listening and speaking. Practice has shown that it's a good way to improve speaking while listening to and reading a speech.

John: Can you go to the party tonight, Lisa?

Lisa: No,I can't. I can't go out on school nights.

John: Oh, that's too bad. I can go out, but I have to go home before nine o'clock.

Lisa: You're lucky. I have so many rules …

John: Like what?

Lisa: I have to do my homework after school.

John: Oh, I do, too. And I have to practice the guitar every day.

Lisa: Well, I can't watch TV after school.

John:I can't, either.

Frank doesn't have many friends. He doesn't know why.

One day, Frank tells Bill,"I'd like to have a party this Saturday evening. You sing well. I hope you can come and sing for us."

"OK! I'd love to," said Bill.

" Don't forget to sing You Are My Sunshine. I like it best," says Frank.

Then Frank asks his friend Betty to bring a cake." You make the best cake in the world, Betty, and I like your cake best!" says Frank.

Frank also invites some other friends to come to his party. He remembers to ask each of them to bring something. He even asks Mary to let him have the party in her house!

Everyone has a good time at the party. The guests(客人) say" Thank you" to Bill for the song, to Betty for the cake, to Mary for the house. But they say" Thanks for the invitation(邀请)" to Frank.※. He doesn't know why.

I will never forget the Art Festival in my high school when I won a big prize. All my teachers and classmates think I have a gift for {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(paint). However, when I was a pupil in primary school, I did not like art lessons because I could not draw very well. In fact, my drawings were much {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (bad) than most of my classmates

One day, while I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (play) with some paints, Ms. Smith's art lesson began. I mixed the paints with water as usual. As I took the brush away, I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (drop) the paints onto the paper. Looking at the mark, I decided {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (blow) it. The paints began to run, and I blew harder. The paints ran in all {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (direction) quickly and made a very interesting picture! I forgot that I was in class {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Ms. Smith came by my desk. With a big smile on her face, she said, "That's {#blank#}8{#/blank#} very good picture, Sandy. " After class, she encouraged {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (I) to keep trying and make more pictures. I made a lot of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (wonder) pictures later with her help. Since then, I have been crazy about crayons and paints. I enjoy myself in the world of colors every time I paint. 

My best friend and I

Amy is not happy. She cannot find her favorite pen!

She looks all over the house. She looks under the bed. She looks in her desk. She looks in the kitchen（厨房） and in her school bag. But she cannot find it. 

Amy is really ____. She cries to her mother，Mom，my pen is lost!" Mom says（下楼），she laughs. "Why are you laughing，Mom? " Mom says（检查） behind your ear. " And when Amy checks her ear，she finds her pen. She put it there earlier.
