河北省承德市2023届九年级中考一模英语试卷
China introduced the "double reduction (双减)" policy in July, 2022. According to the policy, it should take no more than 90 minutes for junior high school students to finish their homework. Several months have passed since the new term began. Here are the two students' points of view. | |
"Our homework is clearly less than before," said 15-year-old Xie Dong from Shijiazhuang. "We are not encouraged to buy workbooks any more. The exercises are mainly from the textbook." Students have enough time to learn new knowledge now. "Our teachers are also giving us more chances to do experiments and learn from real life," said Xie. Self-discipline (自律) becomes the key. "Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early. But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind other students," he said. "And we have few exams, I don't think it is a good thing." | |
For 15-year-old Zhang Jing from Langfang, the best thing about "double reduction" is the increased time in after-school activities. "We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities, such as dancing, volleyball and drama. I have joined a group called "leadership development" where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond schoolwork," said Zhang. There are fewer exams now. But it's not necessarily a good thing. "Exams push me to study harder. Each exam shows my progress as well as my weak points," Zhang said. |
Five Tips for Learning Language
Although learning a foreign language can be difficult, the following tips will increase your ability to succeed in language learning.

Accept the fact that you will not understand everything. Not understanding and making
mistakes are a very natural part of the language learning process. In fact, at the very beginning, you will not understand much at all. Don't expect too much.

Research shows that language students learn better when they study more often. And they also learn better for shorter periods of time. Try to study each day, and whenever possible, several times a day.

The process of using language from your mind to your mouth is a skill that requires a great deal of practice. So say vocabulary words out loud, read passages in the text aloud, do pronunciation activities aloud and not just silently.

Work together on homework assignments(任务), to learn vocabulary, to study for tests, or just to practice speaking the language. Communication does not only happen between the teacher and students, but more among you and your classmates.

There is no" best" way to learn a language, because everyone learns a bit differently. Find your own personal advantages and let them help you in your learning process. It is more important for you to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
A. Set possible expectations. B. Work with study groups. C. Practice language actively. D. Divide study time into smaller parts. E. Be patient to work with classmates. F. Find your own way in language learning. |
