吉林省长春市第二实验学校2024-2025学年九年级上学期第三次月考英语试题
①Which is more important in your mind, looking fashionable or feeling comfortable? You may find many people choose style over comfort and some even go to extremes(极端) to follow fashion. But we should remember: being fashionable isn't everything. It's more important to be healthy.
②Some people believe that they need to be a certain size to look good. So, they start extreme diets that are not good for their health. They might not eat meals or eat too little, which can make them feel sick. Is it a healthy way to live?
③Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels. They might think high heels make them look taller. But, these shoes can actually hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and they can increase the risks of falls. Some even wear tight clothes that influence blood circulation(循环), making it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and physical health?
④Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The material they use is usually harmful to their health. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use tools that are hot enough to burn their hair. But using these tools too often or . at very high temperatures can make the hair dry or even burnt. Is it really worth it to risk our health, spending so much time and money?
⑤So, let's think again what's really important. Is it fashion or is it our well-being? Clothes or hairstyles don't tell us anything about a person's character. Instead of spending a lot of time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. And instead of following extreme diets, let's eat properly and exercise regularly. Remember, the value of you is not. decided by your appearance, but by who you are as a person.
Here are some suggestions to Jack from different people.
Train your ears by listening to Chinese spoken at normal speed, even if you don't understand anything. Also practise listening without seeing things written down and don't be afraid to listen to things several times to catch any interesting or unusual words and expressions in there. —Mr Wang |
Just reading Chinese in textbooks can get boring. Try reading Chinese texts written for and by Chinese speakers. It will be a challenge at first but a lot more interesting once you can do it. —Ms Zhang |
Find out about the people and the culture of China. Learning a language is not just about grammar and words. It's about communicating with people who have different ways of thinking as well as speaking! —Li Jian |
Learning Chinese does take work, but you'll be more likely to stick to it if you are enjoying yourself. Play games, do role plays, sing songs and don't worry too much about making mistakes — making mistakes is often the way to learn best! —Liu Nan |
