牛津版(深圳·广州)初中英语九年级上册期中测试卷
School is starting soon. Last year I bullied (欺负) a boy. (I'm a girl) I attacked him even though he's stronger because I knew he wouldn't hit a girl. I want to apologize but I don't know how. I feel bad for doing this. He doesn't trust me. How should I show him I have changed? —Lily |
Firstly, be proud of yourself for changing. It's not easy to admit (承认) that you bullied someone or to stop once you start. Offering an apology to someone you bullied is a great first step toward starting over. If you can, tell him, "I want to apologize for my actions last year." Speaking from the heart can help. Tell him, "I feel really bad for what I did. It's been on my mind all summer." |
People who are bullied often have difficulty trusting others, especially the people who bullied them in the past. So don't expect the other person to accept your apology easily. Secondly, be patient. It will take time. You've probably heard that "actions speak louder than words". So after offering words of an apology, you then need to show him that you've really changed: be kind and helpful to him. Thirdly, you should remember: First, what you're doing takes courage and you can be proud of the fact that you are taking real steps to change. Second, whatever happens, you're building some good skills and learning more about yourself and the kind of person you want to be. |
I went to the UK last weekend to lean English. So far I have already had a few friends and had some traditional English food here. But after having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes, I thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food, especially my favourite — huoguo. You can't imagine how excited I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen, I seemed to smell huoguo in the air.
To my surprise, when I went into the room, I didn't see any sign of huoguo. Where was it? With many questions in my mind, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with an English girl, I got to know that Chinese huoguo is completely different from hotpot. Chinese huoguo is written in two words — hot pot. However, hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.
Hotpot is made from mutton and onion. On the top are pieces of potatoes. People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot at a low heat. It takes very little effort to prepare. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.
Hotpot doesn't taste bad. However, I still miss huoguo, hot pot, two words!
Here is a recipe (菜谱):
Ingredients: 2 potatoes, 1 egg, 2 teaspoons of flour (面粉), 3 teaspoons of vegetable oil (植物油), 1 teaspoon of salt Instructions: ◆Peel the potatoes and cut them up. Cook them for 20-25 minutes and then put them into a bowl. ◆Break the egg into the bowl. Also add the salt and flour to it. ◆Mix them all up. ◆Put the pan on the gas cooker (煤气灶) and turn on the gas cooker. ◆When the pan is warm pour the vegetable oil into it. ◆Then pour the mixture (混合物) in the bowl into the pan when the oil is hot. ◆Turn it over from time to time. Bake (烤) it for about five minutes. ◆Finally, you can enjoy it. |
