I was very happy with the school hours in Britain because school starts around 9 a.m. and ends about 3.30 p.m. This means I could get up an hou

2、r later than usual as schools in China begin before 8 a.m.On the first day, all of the new students attended an assembly in the school hall. I sat next to a girl whose name is Diane. We soon became best friends. During the assembly, the headmaster told us about the rules of the school. He also told

3、us that the best way to earn respect was to devote oneself to study and achieve high grades. This sounded like my school in China.I had many teachers in the past year. Mr. Heywood , my class teacher, was very helpful. My favorite teacher was Miss BurkeI loved the lessons that she gave in English Lit

4、erature. In our class there were 28 students. This is about the average size for British schools. We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was a struggle for me to remember all the faces and names.I found the homework was not

5、 as heavy as what I used to get in my old school, but it was a bit challenging for me at first because all the homework was in English. I felt lucky as all my teachers gave me much encouragement and I enjoyed all my subjects: English, History, English Literature, Computer Science, Maths, Science, PE

6、, Art, Cooking and French.My English improved a lot as I used English every day and spent an hour each day reading English books in the library.I usually went to the Computer Club during the lunch break, so I could send e-mails to my family and friends back home for free. I also had an extra French

7、class on Tuesday evenings. Cooking was really fun as I learned how to buy, prepare and cook food. At the end of term we held a class party and we all had to cook something. I was glad that all my classmates were fond of the cake that I made.Students at that school have to study Maths, English and Sc

They can choose other subjects like Art and Computer Science or Languages such as Spanish and German. In the Art class that I took, I made a small sculpture. Though it didnt look very beautiful when i

9、t was finished, I still liked it very much. I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch. British food is very different. British people like eating dessert at the end of their main meal. After lunch, we usually played on the school field. Sometimes I played football with the boys. Sometimes I just relaxed

10、under a tree or sat on the grass.I was very lucky to experience this different way of life. I look back on my time in the UK with satisfaction, and I really hope to go back and study in Manchester again. 在英国的学校生活 在英国上了一年的中学对我来说是一段非常令人愉快和兴奋的经历。我很喜欢英国中学的作息时间，因为学校每天上午大约9点上课，下午大约3点半放学。这意味着我每天可以比以往晚一个小时起

11、床，因为在中国学校每天上午8点之前就开始上课了。 开学第一天，所有的新生都去学校礼堂参加晨会。我当时坐在一个名叫黛安娜的女孩身边：我们很快就成了最要好的朋友。在晨会上，校长向我们宣布了校规。他还告诉我们，赢得尊重的最佳途径就是专心学习并取得好成绩。这听起来倒是像我在国内就读的学校。 过去的一年里我有过许多老师。海伍德先生，我的班主任，对我的帮助很大。我最喜欢的老师是伯克小姐我喜爱她教的英国文学课程。我们班上一一共有28个学生。英国中学的班级差不多就是这么大。我们上不同的课得去不同的教室。上某些课的时候，班上的同学也不一样，所以对我来说记住所有的人的面孔和名字可是一件难事。 我发现这里布置的家庭

12、作业不像我以前在原来学校时那么繁重，可一开始我还是觉得有些挑战性，因为所有的作业都是英语的，让我感到幸运的是，所有的老师都给了我很多鼓励，因此，我也喜欢我所学的每一门功课：英语、历史、英国文学、计算机、数学、科学、体育、艺术、烹饪和法语。 我天天都在使用英语，每天还花一个小时在图书馆里阅读英文书籍，因此，我的英语有了很大进步。午饭休息时间我常去电脑俱乐部，这样我就可以免费给国内的家人和朋友发电子邮件了。我还额外选了一门功课每个星期二晚上去听法语。当我学会如何买菜、配菜和做菜的时候，我发现烹饪真是一种乐趣。学期末，我们班开了一个派对，我们每个人都要为派对做点吃的。我们班上所有的同学都喜欢我做的蛋

13、糕，这可真让我高兴。 数学、英语和科学是该校的必修课，但是，如果不喜欢某些科目是可以中断学习的，如历史和法语。学生可以选修其他的科目，如艺术、计算机或者是西班牙语、德语之类的语言课。在艺术课上我做了一件小雕塑。尽管完工之后它看上去并不十分漂亮，但我仍然非常喜欢它。 每到吃午餐的时候我就非常想念中国菜。英国的饮食很不一样，英国人在正餐结束时喜欢吃甜点。午餐后我们通常去学校运动场上玩耍。有时我和男生们一起踢足球。有时我干脆在树下休息休息或是在草地上坐一坐。 我很幸运能够体验到这样一种不同的生活方式。回顾在英国的日子我很满意，真希望有朝一日能够重返曼彻斯特，在那里读书学习。M1U1 Project

14、Starting a new school clubWe have a radio club in our school. It is great because it is run by the students for the school. I am lucky as I am one of the hosts.It was started two years ago. One day, I just began thinking about music for everyone, so I asked the headmaster if music could be played du

15、ring break times. He approved the idea, and two years later I am in charge of the radio club as the oldest student member. Our club is much more than just music. Every morning we tell our schoolmates about the weather, recent news, and some special messages that the teachers want us to broadcast.Dur

16、ing exam time we have a special programme that tells students the things they should do for preparation. At the end of the school year, many students who are graduating use our club to give messages to their close friends and teachers.When parents come to visit the school and talk to the teachers, w

17、e often play songs sung by students, and we also give messages to inform the parents of events such as outings and school plays.I shall miss the radio club after graduation, but I know that it will continue without me. (Kate Jones)Our school club Poets of the Next Generation is a literary club that

18、was started by our English teacher Mr. Owen. We meet on the last Friday of every month to talk about poems and poets that we like. In the club meetings, we first select poems that we love, and then read them aloud. We also discuss poems in our meetings.When I attended the first meeting, I was requir

19、ed to write a poem and I had to read it to the club. I was a little nervous at first, but everyone was so nice and friendly that I soon stopped worrying. I once read a poem about nature in the school courtyard. I chose an old tree and gathered everyone under it before I read. The club members said i

20、t was one of the best compositions they had heard. (Bob Shaw) 我们学校有一个广播俱乐部。这个俱乐部的非常之处在于它是由学生们自己为学校创办的。我很幸运地成了其中的一名主持人。广播俱乐部是两年前创立的。有一天，我萌发了为大家播放音乐的念头，于是我就问校长能否在休息时间给同学们播放音乐，校长同意了。两年后，我作为元老负责校广播俱乐部的工作。我们的俱乐部现在不只是播放音乐。每天早上我们向同学们播报天气情况和时事新闻，还有老帅们要我们播出的一些特别告示。 到了考试的时候我们就会做一档特别节目，告诉学生们复习迎考的注意事项。每当学年结束的时候

21、，许多即将毕业离校的学生就会借助我们的广播俱乐部向他们的好友和老师留下临别致辞。 每逢家长来访、与老师交谈的时候，我们常常播放一些由学生们自己演唱的歌曲。我们还会广播一些通知，告诉家长们有关诸如远足、校内戏剧表演之类的活动讯息。 毕业后，我会想念广播俱乐部的，但我知道，没有我，它还会继续办下去的。(凯特 琼斯) 我们的校内俱乐部“下一代诗人”是由我们的英语老师欧文先生发起的一个文学俱乐部。每个月的最后一个星期五我们会聚在一起讨论喜爱的诗歌和诗人。聚会的时候，我们首先挑选出我们喜爱的诗歌，然后朗诵这些诗歌。我们还在聚会时讨论诗歌。 我第一次参加聚会的时候，被要求写一首诗，还得当着俱乐部成员的面进

22、行朗诵。起初我觉得有些紧张，但所有的成员都是那么亲切、友好，我很快就不担心了。有一次，我在学校花园里朗诵了一首表现大自然的诗歌。朗诵前，我选择了一棵老树，把大家都聚集在树下。俱乐部成员们都说那是他们听过的最好的诗歌之一。(鲍勃 肖)Former student returns from ChinaM1U2 Home alone Act OneMom and Dad arrive back from vacation a day earlier than expected.

35、ainsMany teenagers feel lonely, as if no one understands them and the changes they are going through. Day by day, everything seems different, yet the same. Life never seems to be going fast enough; yet, in other ways, like a race car, life seems to be rushing too fast and even going out of control.

36、Has anyone else ever felt this way? 很多青少年感到孤独，好像没有人理解他们以及他们正在经历的变化。日子一天天过去， 而所有事情似乎都是不同的，可又都是一成不变的。生活似乎从不过得足够快；而从别的方面看，生活似乎过得太快甚至于失控，像开赛车一样。别的人也有过同感么? These feelings are a common part of adolescencethe time of life between child and adult. And, though it may sometimes be difficult to believe, you ar

37、e not aloneevery adult has gone through adolescence, and your friends are going through it right now along with you. It is common for teenagers to feel lonely and misunderstood. These feelings can be thought of as growing painsthe difficulties that teenagers face as they grow to adults. 这些感觉是青春期介于孩童

38、和成人之间的人生阶段的正常组成部分。而且，虽然有时难以相信，并非只有你才是这样每一个成年人都经历过青春期，而你的朋友和你一样正经历这个阶段。对青少年而言，感到孤独和被误解是很普遍的。这些情感可以看作是成长的烦恼是青少年迈向成年时所面对的困难。 As teenagers grow, it is normal for them to become confused with the changing world both inside and outside of them. During adolescence, teenagers go through great physical chang

39、es. They grow taller and their voices get deeper, among many other developments. 在青少年成长的时候，对自己无论体内还是体外的状态变化感到困惑对他们而言是正常现象。在青春期，青少年经历着身体上的巨大变化。他们个子长高，声音变低，还有很多其他的成长发育。 Along with these physical changes, there come many psychological changes. Boys and girls tend to be different in this regard. Many bo

At the same time, girls often want someone anyone to talk to, as they try to deal with their strong feelings. 与这些生理变化同时而来的，还有很多心理上的变化。男

41、孩和女孩在这方面往往有所不同很多男孩成为危险尝试者他们希望找到自己的局限和他们周边世界的局限，但也许并不具有对其行为做出正确抉择的智慧。而与此同时，女孩则通常需要和某个人或任何人进行交谈，因为她们试图面对自己强烈的情感。 In the social world, as teenagers get older, they struggle to depend on themselves. They may badly want and need their parents love, yet feel distant; they may want to be part of the group,

42、 yet desire independence. Since teenagers have difficulty balancing these needs, they often question who they are and how they fit in society. 在大千社会中，随着青少年长大，他们努力地自力更生。他们或许迫切需要父母的关爱 却又感觉疏远；他们或许想要成为团体的一员，但又渴望独立。正因为青少年们在平衡这些需要时有困难，所以他们经常质疑自己到底是谁以及怎样融入社会。 The good news is that these kinds of growing pa
