浙江省余姚市联考2024-2025学年九年级上学期英语12月月考卷
①Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do, Her name was Mrs. White.
②I don't remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many mistakes. But no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a Good! That worried my mother a lot, so one day she asked Mrs. White why she never corrected my mis- takes; in spellings of words or pointed out grammatical errors.
③Mrs. White said, "The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. I don't want to dampen that interest with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait. . . "
④She is right! I did grow up learning to use words with loving confidence just like that. I look back now and think she must have been a rather extraordinary teacher— to restrain(限制) her red pen— to allow the joy, wonder and excitement of expression.
⑤I used to misspell"beautiful" a lot. I never could quite remember that the"e" went before the"a". It annoyed my teacher in high school endlessly. Eventually the"e" and"a" settled into their right places. I am glad I didn't wait on them though. "Pretty" is easier to spell but it doesn't hold as much as you mean sometimes.
⑥And thanks to Mrs. White I had no concerns about writing what I meant, even if I couldn't quite spell it out. After all, life isn't pretty. It's beautiful.
Question: I want to speak English well. What can I do? | |
Students | Opinions |
Susan | If you want to speak English well, I think you should read English books and listen to English radio. You shouldn't think in your language. You must think in English and speak what you think, and then you will be successful. |
William | I think the most useful way is watching English films. But you know this all depends on yourself. If you work hard, you can find that speaking English is quite a funny thing. Keep moving! Nothing is impossible! |
Ravi Chandra | Don't be afraid and then you will become a good speaker. Speak whatever you want in English in front of a mirror. Try this for just 30 days and then see the results. I hope you will practice this. |
Helen Gao | If you can study carefully for a long time, you will see the results. You should have a right way and speak English bravely. I believe you will smile in the end. |
