浙江省杭州文渊实验初级中学2024-2025学年九年级上学期十月英语月考试题
Do you know that vocabulary is more important than grammar? If you have good vocabulary, you can communicate successfully, even if your grammar is not completely perfect.
However, one common problem is leaning new words and then forgetting them. So, when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can't remember it at that moment. Does this often happen to you? The reason for this difficulty is that most students try to learn vocabulary by studying word lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not work if you don't have a very good memory.
The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words successfully is to learn new words and use them at once. You can do this with a very simple exercise. Each time you learn anew word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than just reading a definition(释义). You should write the word, the definition in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create.
Imagine you just learn the word "generous", write in your vocabulary notebook: generous(adjective), definition-giving or willing to give freely. Example One, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner, you're very generous. Example Two, my example: My brother is generous because he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. It's best if your example sentences are true to your life, because this creates a personal connection with the new word. The next day, read your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence using the new word. It's helpful for you to remember it. These two simple steps-writing the word and using it at once-help you remember and use new words.
a. Make your own example sentence.
b. Write the word, its English definition or translation.
c. Copy an example sentence from the article or dictionary.
d. Read your notebook again and add one more example sentence.
With the development of science and technology(技术), our daily life is becoming easier and more colorful.

The whole building is about 18 meters below, and it helps people get closer to the sea world. Remember to ask your coach(教练) to go with you if you plan to swim to it. |
Hobbies are ways of self-discovery, and hobbies help build self-respect. Hobbies are educational tools as well. By working on hobbies, children learn to set goals, make decisions, and solve all sorts of problems. If all these sound good, you may would like to help your child develop a hobby, and try these suggestions. |
Set a good example. Scott Harris, a hobby shop buyer and hobby workshop leader in Gastonia, North Carolina, finds that children with hobbies tend (倾向于) to have parents with hobbies. |
Be prepared to sacrifice (牺牲) space. Your child will need work space for his or her hobby projects. Choose a special room, a corner of the basement (地下室), part of the garage, or a similar area. No matter where you set up the space, your child should be able to walk away from the hobby and come back to it later. |
Provide some guidance. Nothing will kill a child's love for a hobby quicker than lots of frustration (挫折) during the learning stage. Help your child get off to a good start by showing him or her clearly how to closely follow a set of directions. |
Limit television watching. It's impossible to work on a hobby and watch TV (or play video games) at the same time. For want of spare time, a hobby may never be developed. But find a hobby, a talent may be born, and life may be enriched (充实) by it, too. |
