Today is my first day at Senior High school and Im writing down my thoughts about it.My new school is very good and I can see why.The teachers are v

2、ery enthusiastic and friendly and the classrooms are amazing.Every room has a computer with a special screen, almost as big as a cinema screen.The teachers write on the computer, and their words appear on the screen behind them.The screens also show photographs, text and information from websites.Th

3、eyre brilliant!The English class is really interesting.The teacher is a very enthusiastic woman called Ms Shen.Were using a new textbook and Ms Shens method of teaching is nothing like the teachers at my Junior High school.She thinks that reading comprehension is important, but we speak a lot in cla

4、ss, too.And we have fun.I dont think I will be bored in Ms Shens class! Today we introduced ourselves to each other.We did this in groups.Some students were embarrassed at first but everyone was very friendly and it was really nice.Ms Shen gave us instructions and then we worked by ourselves.Ms Shen

5、 wants to help us improve our spelling and handwriting.We do this in a fun way, with spelling games and other activities.I like her attitude very much, and the behaviour of the other students shows that they like her, too.There are sixty-five students in my class more than my previous class in Junio

6、r High.Forty-nine of them are girls. In other words, there are three times as many girls as boys.They say that girls are usually more hard-working than boys, but in this class, everyone is hard-working.For our homework tonight, we have to write a description of the street where we live. Im looking f

7、orward to doing it!My After-school Activities.As the students of modern times, we have colorful school life. Everyday, we learn plenty of knowledge on different subjects in class.And our school organizes many extracurricular activities in order to help us put what we have learned into practice.After

8、 class, we take part in various activities, like playing football, basketball, badminton, etc. Besides, we are able to join in the lectures organized by literature association, music group, art group, where you can enjoy famous works, learn to play instruments or draw pictures.Also, there are chance

9、s for us to use computers in the laboratory and talk with some foreign teachers about anything we are interested in at the English corner.Now, most of us may operate computers freely and have a good command of spoken English.In addition to the after-class activities mentioned here, there are still m

10、any others such as sports meeting, debate, social investigation, etc.All those activities make our school life attractive and interesting.We will take advantages of the experience in the future.Module 2 My New TeachersThey say that first impressions are very important.My first impression of Mrs.Li w

11、as that she was nervous and shy.I think perhaps she was, as it was her first lesson with us.But now, after two weeks, the class really likes working with her.Shes kind and patient, and she explains English grammar so clearly that even I can understand it! She avoids making you feel stupid! Ive alway

12、s hated making mistakes or pronouncing a word incorrectly when I speak English, but Mrs.Li just smiles, so that you dont feel completely stupid! I think maybe she goes a bit too slowly for the faster students, but for me its wonderful! I feel Im going to make progress with her.Id guess that Mrs.Chen

13、 is almost sixty.Shes very strictwe dont dare to say a word unless she asks us to.Shes also very serious and doesnt smile much.When she asks you to do something, you do it immediately! There are a few students in our class who keep coming to class late but theyre always on time for Mrs.Chens lessons

14、! Some of our class dont like her, but most of us really appreciate her because her teaching is so well organized and clear. And a few students even admit liking her! During scientific experiments, she explains exactly what is happening and as a result my work is improving.Physics will never be my f

15、avourite lesson, but I think that Ill do well in the exam with Mrs Chen teaching me.Mr.Wus only been teaching us for two weeks and hes already very popular.I think this is because he really enjoys teaching Chinese literature -he loves it, in fact! Hes got so much energy, this is one class you do not

16、 fall asleep in! Hes about 28, I think, and is rather good-looking.He talks loudly and fast, and waves his hands about a lot when he gets excited.Hes really amusing and tells jokes when he thinks were getting bored.Even things like compositions and summaries are fun with Mr.Wu.I respect him a lot.Mo

17、dule 3 My First Ride on a TrainMy name is Alice Thompson.I come from Sydney, Australia and Im 18 years old.Recently I had my first ride on a long-distance train.And what a ride! A friend and I traveled on the famous Ghan train.We got on in Sydney and we got off in Alice Springs, right in the middle

18、of Australia, more than four thousand kilometers away.We spent two days and nights on the train.The train was wonderful and the food was great.We ate great meals cooked by experts! For the first few hundred kilometres of the journey, the scenery was very colourful. There were fields and the soil was

19、 dark red. After that, it was desert.The sun shone, there was no wind and there were no clouds in the sky. Suddenly, it looked like a place from another time.We saw abandoned farms which were built more than a hundred years ago. The train was comfortable and the people were nice. During the day, I s

20、at and looked out of the window, and sometimes talked to other passengers. I read books and listened to my Chinese cassettes (Im studying Chinese at school). One night,at about midnight, I watched the night sky for about an hour.The stars shone like diamonds. Why is the train called the Ghan? A long

21、 time ago, Australians needed a way to travel to the middle of the country. They tried riding horses, but the horses didnt like the hot weather and sand. A hundred and fifty years ago, they brought some camels from Afghanistan.Ghan is short for Afghanistan.一 Camels were much better than horses for t

22、raveling a long distance. For many years, trained camels carried food and other supplies, and returned with wool and other products. The Afghans and their camels did this until the 1920s. Then the government built a new railway line, so they didnt need the camels any more. In 1925,they passed a law

23、which allowed people to shoot the animals if they were a problem. In 1935, the police in a town shot 153 camels in one day.Module 4 A lively cityXL=小李，JM=约翰马丁XL: Its great to see you again, John.
