In our country we think being modest(谦虚的) is a virtue(美德) and being proud is a bad thing. One day, I heard an American boy say to a Chinese student, “you speak very good English.” But the girl answered, “No, no. My English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite 1at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the girl had not heard him 2 He said, “Yes, indeed, you speak very well.”3 the girl still kept saying. “No.” In the end the American boy could not understand and didn't know 4 to say.
What's wrong with the girl's answer? She didn't 5a compliment(恭维) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer “Thank you” instead of “No.” She 6 understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the 7 people will feel 8 and confident when they are praised. So if someone says the 9 you have cooked are very delicious, you should say, “Thank you”.
If you are modest and say. “No, I'm 10 I can't do it well”, while working in a western country, people may think that you really can not do it. If you often say, “No”, you'll certainly be looked down upon by 11 When asking 12 a job, if one says something like, “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “ Let me have a try”, he or she will13 get it. So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence. In my opinion, being confident doesn't 14 being proud, so sometimes you should be confident15 being modest.

China is a great country with the largest population in the world. In order to solve the population problem, our government carried out one-child policy (政策) before. When it is carried out for some time, many people not only see its advantages but also disadvantages.
From 2016, two-child policy is put into effect. In my opinion, two-child policy is good. First of all, two-child policy is the gift for some only child. For some families, maybe the parents are only child and they also can have only child. Besides the loneliness of their child, when their child grows up and they grow older, their child marry an only child girl, the burden (负担) on their child and his wife is too heavy. Their child and his wife have to take care of two couples. Usually, a young couple looking after an old couple is a little difficult. But if their parents have two children, they can share the burden of taking care of their parents. It would be much better. Secondly, two-child policy can guarantee (保证) the number of Chinese population.
All in all, one-child policy has been out of date. And two-child policy is needed and necessary. It can solve the problems of nowadays (现在) and the future.
Everyone has his dreams of the future. But do you know w future really is? I think future is now. That is to say, we m treasure(珍惜)every minute and second.
There is an old English(say), “Gain time, gain life.” Then what is time? Time is something that can't be seen or touched, but we feel it (pass) by. Time is always with us. We often say “Time is money”, but it is more (value), because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone a, it will never return. That's why we say time is priceless.
Grasping the present is grasping the future. As students, we should work hard in o to create a bright future of our own. We should m the best use of every hour and be the master today. We should do everything as (good) as possible. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.
Time and tide (wait) for no man. If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow.
Students are very interested in computers, the Internet and mobile phones. Using new technologies in the classroom can be very helpful for them.
Mobile phones can be very useful in the classroom. When students speak or act, teachers can use them to record students, take photos and show them to students. Using mobile phones in class is a fun way of doing some interesting language work.
How to use the Internet and mobile phones in class? Please remember the following key points (要点) :
Use the Internet with your students in many different ways, if possible.
Try to find good websites for your students.
Use your mobile phone in class to record your students, take photos and play recordings.
Ask your students to listen for the pronunciation mistakes when you play the recordings back to them.
Peng Liyiian, First Lady of China, made a speech in English at the United Nations on September 26, 2015. She talked about education and shared her Chinese dream with the world.
Peng began her speech with a story of her father. Her father grew up in a small village in China. In those days, not many villagers could read, so her father opened a night school to teach them. With his help, many people learned to write their names and read newspapers for the first time. And many women were able to teach their children how to read. Peng's father's love for education influenced her deeply. She was lucky enough to have a good education. Later, she followed her father's footsteps and became a professor of music.
Education is important, but still, some children in China can't go to school. Peng hopes that all children can have a good education, and that is her Chinese dream.
