浙江省杭州市余杭区2024-2025学年九年级上学期10月月考英语试题
Most parents don't know what their teenage children are talking about when they are having a chat with their friends. This is also true when teenagers are using the language of texting to send messages. Words like 18r are easy to understand, but what about"POS"? I asked some parents what it means and only 28% got it right! It means that a parent is near and that they are watching what their child is doing.
Parents worry a lot and like to know what is happening in their children's lives at all times. This means they try to control as much of their children's lives as possible. However, they have no control over the language that their children use, so it is a useful way for children to keep parts of their life secret.
Parents also complain that they never have serious conversations with their teenage children. Teenagers are always busy phoning or texting their friends- even when parents are trying to talk to them. And there are times when teenagers aren't busy, but they just don't feel like having a serious chat with mum or dad!
One way to start real conversations is to make sure that the whole family eats together at mealtimes and that everyone has a chance to talk. Teenagers are trying to find out who they are. They aren't adults yet, but they are learning how to act like big people.
This means that it is a good idea to speak to teenagers like they are adults and it helps to listen to their ideas and opinions carefully. When parents talk to their teenagers, some good ad vice is" Don't sound like your own parents!". In addition, parents who try to use the language of teenagers often sound very silly. And that's because most times when an adult tries to use" teen talk", the words are probably already unfashionable!
World Book Day is on 23rd April. What's your favourite book? Here are the answers from four students in Sunshine Middle School.
My favourite book is A Friend like Henry. It's about how a family dog helps a boy deal with his autism (自闭症). When I felt sad, my best friend gave me this book. It cheered me up. — David |
Reading in the holiday is an interesting thing. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is my favourite book. It's about a captain's travels under the sea. The story is very interesting and the pictures are fantastic. This book can make me relaxed. — Tony |
I like reading the Four Great Classical Novels of China. I can't wait to share the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I learned a lot about the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu. If you are interested in history, don't miss it. — Bob |
In my opinion, The Little Prince is the best one. In this book, a young prince falls to the earth from a small planet and experiences a lot. It's not just a fiction, and it also tells us about the correct values. — Mary |
