Language

Many animals use some kind of language.

They use signals which have meanings.

For example, when a bee has found some food, it goes back to its home.

It is impossible for a bee to tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it can do a little dancing.

This tells the bees where the food is and how far away it is.

Some animals show how they feel by making sounds.

It is not difficult to tell if a dog is angry because it barks.

Birds make several different sounds and each has its own meaning.

Sometimes we humans make sounds in the same way.

We make sounds like. "Oh!" or "Ouch!" to show how we feel about something or when we drop something on our toes!

But we have something that no animal has: a large number of words which have the meaning of things, action, feelings or ideas.

We are able to give each other information, to tell other people what is in our mind, or how we feel.

By writing down words we can remember what has happened or send messages to people far away.

It is impossible for animals to do this.

Some birds, like the parrot, can be taught to say words, but they do not know what they mean .

They cannot use the words.

No one knows how man learned to make words.

Perhaps he began by imitating animals.

Perhaps he imitated sounds he heard all around him: water splashing, bees humming, a stone falling to the ground.

In some way he learned to make words.

As the centuries went by , he made more and more words.

This is what we mean by language.

The words we know are called our vocabulary.

We should try to make our vocabulary bigger.

We should read as many books as we can .

There are plenty of books written in English for us to read.

Of course , there are new words in them.

When we find a new word, we can look it up in our dictionary.

Our dictionary is our most useful book.

许多动物使用某种语言。

它们使用具有意义的信号。

例如，当一只蜜蜂找到食物时，它就回家去。

蜜蜂不可能跟其他的蜜蜂说话，来告诉它们食物在那里，但是它能做一点飞舞的动作。

这就告诉那些蜜蜂食物在那里以及食物有多远。

有些动物藉由发出声音，来表示它们的感受如何。

要知道狗是否生气并不难，因为它会叫。

鸟发出几种不同的声音，而且每一种都有它本身的意义。

有时我们人类也用同样的方式发出声音。

我们发出像“喔！＂或“哎唷！＂的声音来表示我们的感受或表示我们掉了东西砸到脚趾头。

但是我们拥有动物所没有的东西：(那就是有)很多的文字具有表达事物、行为、感情或观念的意义。

我们能够互相提供消息，能够告诉别人我们的想法，或我们的感受。 用文字记下，我们可以记住所发生的事情，或者传送信息给远方的人。 这是动物所不可能做到的。

有些鸟，像鹦鹉，能够教会说话，但它们不知道那些话的意思。

它们不会使用那些话。

没有人知道人类如何学会造字。

也许人类藉由模仿动物而开始的。

也许他模仿他周围所听到的一切的声音：水的飞溅声、蜜蜂的嗡嗡声、石头的落地声。

用某种方式人类学会了造字。

随著几世纪的过去，人类造了越来越多的字。

这就是我们所谓的语言。

我们所认识的字称为我们的字汇。

我们应该设法使我们的字汇扩大。

我们应该尽可能多阅读书籍。

有很多用英文写的书可以供我们阅读。

当然，书里面有生字。

当我们发现生字的时候，我们可以查字典。

字典是我们最有用的书。

Names And Nicknames

Chris: Father, I want to ask you something.

Mr.White: Yes? What's that?

Chris: I want to know the origin of "nickname", because it seems a funny word. Mr. White: Well then, listen carefully.

Do you know the meaning of the old English word "eke" e-k-e?

Chris: No. Never heard of it in my life.

Mr. White: Well, it means "also".

And if you say "an eke name" quickly, it sounds like "a nickname".

Chris: So it does.

So a nickname is another name, or an additional name?

Mr. White: You're right.

Now, at first people had only one name, Thomas, John, Richard, etc. and these names were very numerous in England.

So to tell one John from another, for instance, an additional name was necessary. Sometimes the other name was a place name.

John who lived by the church was called John Church; and John who lived on the hill was called John Hill.

That is how we get the common English names of Church, Hill, Field, Wood, etc. They are quite common in England and America.

Some men were given their fathers' names.

Thomas the son of Richard was called Thomas Richardson.

Many English family names end in "son".

Chris: What about the name Smith, which is by far the commonest of English names? Mr. White: Of course, Smith means a blacksmith, and blacksmiths were very numerous in old times, far more numerous than they are now.

Very often the second name was given according to the work or occupation of the person.

That's how we get the family names, such as Taylor, Farmer, and Clerk.

Sometimes a man was called after some characteristic.

For instance, the first John Long was certainly a tall man; just as the first Mr. Small was undoubtedly a short man.

Chris: But such names are not nicknames, they are family names.

Mr. White: You're quite right; but they were nicknames once.

Now the word has changed its meaning: it means a special name, not a real name, that is used by a person's friends and familiar acquaintances.

Many nicknames are shortened forms of the real names.

General Montgomery's soldiers always called him Monty.

Chris: Then that's why you generally call me Chris?

Mr. White: That's right.

Christopher is too big a word for everyday use.

But there is one peculiar class of nicknames that are generally given to men who have certain family names.

English Language

I m interested in English. English is a very important language. It is widely used all over the world. If you travel around the world, you’ll find English everywhere. It is widely used for business between different countries. If you know English, you can enjoy many books. It s really a bridge to much knowledge.

I have learned many English words. I hope I can talk with foreigners in English and let them know our country better. Some people say the world is smaller than before.

An Unforgettable Challenge

When I was ten years old, I began to chat with foreigners. But I was very shy. Gradually, I became more and more confident with foreigners’ help. The following year, I went to Yangzhou with two foreigners. I became their guide. First, we came into the Shouxi River. They wanted to look around the river by boat. I told them the price. Then we got into the boat. When we looked out at the sight, we all felt very beautiful. After that, they went to buy souvenirs. The sellers couldn’t speak English. Though it was very hard, I tried my best to listen to their words carefully and translate the sentences. They bought some souvenirs with my help. Next, we went to a small zoo, and we took some photos. There were not many animals. When we felt hungry, we went out and had lunch. After lunch, we visited some old houses. They learned more about Chinese history.

This wasn’t only a big challenge but also an unforgettable challenge. This opportunity made me confident and brave.I hope I can catch many opportunities in the future, then I can speak English, because I think practice makes perfect.

My Dreams

I want to be a teacher when I listen to my teacher carefully. I think I can be a teacher when I grow up. I can help many students learn things well. I can play with my students, too. So we are good friends. I want to be a doctor when I see many doctors save their patients. To be a doctor is really great. I think I can be a doctor when I grow up. Then I can help many people out of danger. I will be the happiest girl in the world. I want to be a reporter when I watch TV every evening. We can get lots of important information from them. They make the world smaller and also make us happy. I would like to be a reporter when I

grow up. And I can learn a lot about China and the other countries around the world. I can meet many superstars as well.I have lots of dreams. I think my dreams can come true one day, because there’s an old saying “where there is a will, there is a way.”

My school day

Hi, I’m xxx. I'm 14 years old and I study in Laoshan School. My school is not very big. Every morning I get up at seven and have breakfast. And then I go to school at half past seven. At eight twenty, we begin our morning reading. Lessons begin at nine o’clock. We have four lessons in the morning and Chinese is my favourite lesson. We usually have 10 minute's break between two lessons and at about 12:30 we finish our morning lessons. I have lunch at school at twelve thirty, too. I like school lunch and I always have rice with meat and vegetables. After lunch I often talk with my friends or play basketball with them. In the afternoon lessons start at half past one and finish at four thirty. I play games after school with my friends and then go home at five. In the evening I do my homework and then watch TV. At ten o’clock I go to bed. It’s really a busy day but I like it.

5

Healthy eating

My name is xxx. I am 14 years old. I want to be a doctor when I grow up. To be a doctor, I must be healthy. It is important for a doctor to be healthy.

Before, I seldom ate vegetables. Because I disliked vegetables. I liked sweet snacks. They taste delicious but they are not good for me. They give me energy but they are not healthy. So I must change my diet. Now, I eat a bowl of rice for breakfast, and I often eat an egg. For lunch, I usually eat a bowl of soup, vegetables and a bowl of rice. I eat meat and vegetables for dinner. If I want to be healthier, I must exercise. So I changed my lifestyle. Now, I often exercise once a week. I do not eat snacks or fast food any more. So I think I am healthy.And I am very happy. I hope everybody is healthy and happy.

6

Eating taste

People in different parts of our country have very different ideas about what is good to eat. In our country, for example, people from the south like to eat rice, however, people living in the north prefer bread or noodles. The people of Hunan or Sichuan enjoy hot food. But people of Shanghai or Suzhou will choose sweet dish.

Even if people live in the same part of the country, their tastes may be very

different. Old people and young ones have different tastes; men and women also have their different preferences. In a restaurant, some customers order soups that is thick and heavy, while others drink soup that is thin and clear. A few people only eat vegetables. They don’t like fish or chicken.

Therefore, it is not easy for restaurants to satisfy the needs of all the customers. To increase their business, the restaurants in the cities try their best to make foods in different kinds and different styles. They sometimes add new names of dishes with different tastes to their menus for customers.

7

Protect our environment

As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse .In some places we can’t see fish swimming in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to

. .But what can we do? How to protect our environment? In fact, there are many things we can do. Firstly, we can go to school on foot or by bike and don’t throw rubbish everywhere. Secondly, we can use shopping baskets but not plastic bags when we go shopping. Last but not least, we can use both sides of the paper when we write. In a word, if everyone pays more attention to our environment, there will be less pollution and our life will be better.

“There is only one earth”, we should act at once. I hope everyone will protect our environment well.

8

Water

Water is very important for living things. Without water there can be no life on earth. All animals and plants need water. Man also needs water.

Water is found almost everywhere. Even in the driest part of the world

there is some water in the air.

As we all have found out, water may be a solid, or a liquid or a gas. When it is a solid, it may be as hard as stone, When it’s a liquid, you can pour it out of a container. When it is a gas, you cannot see or feel it.

Although about 70 percent of the earth’s surface is covered with water, there are many places in the world still running out of water. So we should make good use of water on earth.

Be brave to the earthquake

Everyone has some unforgettable experiences. An earthquake

happened in Sichuan Province on Monday, May 12, 2008. It is the most

dangerous earthquake in Chinese history. Many people were killed. A large number of houses fell down. I was shocked. When I see theses picture on TV, my eyes were filled with tears.

Now, more and more people and volunteers go to disaster area to help people who are in trouble. I was moved. I wanted to do something for people in the disaster areas, too. I thought although I couldn’t go to Sichuan like the soldiers and the doctors, I still wanted to try my best to help them. I took out all my pocket money and threw it into the donation box.

I hope they can rebuild their homeland early. I believe that if every-one makes a contribution for our country, we can overcome any difficulties.

10

Freedom and Peace

Almost everyday we can see there are always a huge number of pigeons enjoying the sunbath in some large squares, but do you often care what a white pigeon stands for? That is peace.

For hundreds of years, people always regard pigeons as a represent of freedom and peace. That is because of not only its lovely pure figure, but also its great passion to the outside world. Till now, I still can't help thinking of such a picture: In Iraq, a boy was watching a white pigeon over his head. The background was full of wounded solders and guns. Thus, this lovely white pigeon was contrastive to this iced background and gave people a deep consideration. Suddenly, a thought comes into my mind: Why there have been so many wars in the world just for someone's own interest? Why can't people live like as mall pigeon with freedom? I hope there will not be wars,

FOREVER!

Hello! My name is ……(Jerry) I love English, because speaking English is interesting, and it’s also very useful. When I listen to my teacher Benny, who is a teacher teaching English, I can always understand what he’s talking about. I have been learning English for …… (two)years, and I have loved it so much. I am always told by my friends that my English is getting better than before.

Yesterday, Benny said to me, “How beautiful your English is! What a good student you are!”

And I told him that if I had started earlier, my English would have become better.

I was wondering, “Am I late? What can I do? ”

Benny answered, “Don’t be nervous! The fact that you are late is not a problem, the problem is how hard you are learning now. How you learn it is also very important, isn’t it? What would you say?”

I would say I will try my best to make my English as good as possible, and I am sure that I will have spoken like a foreigner by the end of my school years and I will be teaching others how to learn it. They would be calling me a teacher. There is always one dream in my heart, and this is it.

Only with this dream would I study hard. And I will never give up.

2 I will tell you a story that is very interesting. It is about a young man who was called Tom. Tom married a girl whose name was Jane. Jane was the girl whom Tom loved deeply. They lived in a house which was built by Tom’s father. It was an old house where Tom was born. It is

in the house where he was born that they got married. Tom liked to write stories and Jane loved all the stories that Tom wrote. They had 5 children, of whom 3 were boys. The children were very clever, which made Tom very happy. All the children went to college, as their parents expected. Tom once said he would never forget the day when he met Jane. Tom believed that Jane was the most beautiful girl that he had ever met. That was the reason why he wanted to marry her. Jane said that Tom was the person with whom she would live for a whole life. They were really a happy couple, from whom we can learn a lot. Their children live in a family where the parents are treating them like a friend. We all admire the way (in which/that) Tom treats his children. He is such a good man as everyone would like to live with.

Tom is one of the villagers who have been reported in the newspaper and he is the only one of those villagers who has acted in a film. .Love is a riddle, not until after I try would I find it simple

Love is a shelter, it makes me safe from the storm I encounter

Love is a cup of coffee,

not only does it give me fine taste, but also the energy to be the real me

Love is a game,

only after you know its rules can you make it tamed.
