初一上英语悦读联播7 MYNEW SCHOOL

Hi Ben,

How are you? I’mwriting to tell you about my new school. I’m a bit nervous. It is called Senior High School. In England youchange schools when you are about 11 years old, don’t you?

Here in America, moststudents change schools at about 10 and again at about 13. At 10 we move from elementary school to Junior High. Thatis when we move from having one teacher for all our subjects to having adifferent teacher for each subject. But our school is still quite small, though notas small as our elementary school. We move to Senior High at 13. This time someof my friends are changing schools with me. Some of them are going to adifferent Senior High. Sometimes a Junior High School is next to a Senior HighSchool. My Senior High is in a different place from the Junior

High. I have totake the bus and it takes longer to get there. It is a lot bigger too. Therewere about 900 students in my Junior High, but there are about 3,500 studentsin Senior High. Wish me luck on my first day! Eric

初一上英语悦读联播8 SCIENCEIS MY FAVOURITE SUBJECT

Hi Eric,

Good to hear from you. I remember when I changed schools, I was nervous on the first daytoo. Almost all the students were nervous! But now most of us like it. Thereare about 2,000 students in my school and about 80

teachers. The big differencebetween our old school and the new one is that our new school has a lot moreequipment. In our science classes we can do experiments using chemicalsand complicated equipment. I feel like a real scientist!

Science is my favorite subject. We have twolessons together every

Fridayafternoon. This is when we do experiments. We have to write them up carefully afterwards, but the best part is doingthe experiments. Often we set fire tothings (on purpose, for theexperiment!). It is amazing howchemicals react with each other!Even when that doesn’t happen, you do interesting things. For the last threeweeks we have been growing a crystal on a piece of string. It seems to comefrom nowhere. It gets bigger and bigger. Our teacher says that if we had abeaker the size of the science lab, we could make a crystal bigger than me.That would be cool, don’t you think so?

I must go, let me know how your first daywent. Ben

初一上英语悦读联播 9 PUT YOURSELF IN MY SHOES!

I think I am going to explode with boredom! It’s our first day at school and they expect us to sit down and start to workat once. The examinations are yearsaway! We’re confused by the size ofthe school. We’re too worried about making friends to concentrate on work. I think they should give us a day to get usedto the timetable and find our way around the school. Maybe even spend the day with our form teacher. That way we wouldget to know each other and the form teacher, at least. But no! We go rounddifferent classes and teachers all day. It’s crazy!

I hatethe first day with the new students! They just don’t settle down. They have to learn that they are starting to prepare for examinations. They have tostart taking work seriously, rightfrom the first day. They don’t realisehow quickly the time will pass. Every day counts.Now it is the time to set the high standards of work and behavior we willexpect from them all through Senior High. These students are quiet enough.However, I can tell they are not thinking about the work at all. It’s crazy! WORD BANK explode 爆炸 expect 预料
