1、晚一个小时起床,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
2、里布置的家庭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
3、喜欢我做的蛋糕,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 Pr
4、oject 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.

(Kate Jones)Our school club Poets of the Next Generation is a literary club
8、 that 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

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
10、said it 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
11、年结束的时候,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
12、部成员的面进行朗诵。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.
