The farmer welcomed us warmly, we saw hens, ducks, pigs there and everyone had a wonderful time. We all felt like birds out of cage. We did many interesting activities. Mary tried to get enough apples on a tree. Mike took an umbrella and went paragliding on a small building. I wondered how big the farm is. I reached the top of the hill and took quite a few photos. Jack seemed to dislike these activities. And because of the wet weather, he decided to wait us at a shop.At noon most of us were hungry, Jack had prepared something delicious for us in the shop. Of course, we should pay him. Jack did as a trader, but we all thanked him.In order to remember what we did, I told myself, “I should write down the differences between school and farm in my diary.要求：1. 听写完八年级上第一单元单词的同学，完成此篇短文背诵。

Unit 2 How often do you exercise?All days were quite full for Sue before because she spent almost 80 percent of her free time studying. She hardly ever surfed the Internet, read the magazine, or watched her favorite television program. To get more than 90 points in exam, she never did the housework, sometimes slept less than 8 hours a night. Although she worked hard, she never got a good result.Sue’s mother is a dentist. She worries her a lot. She often asks Sue to exercise at least once or twice a day. She thinks doing sports such as swing dance. It is good for her mind and body. At this point, maybe her mother is quite right. Through exercise Sue becomes stronger than before. To be in good health, she asks Sue not to eat junk food or drink coffee. Now, Sue spends 60 percent of her free time playing together with her friends and has made rapid progress in study.Unit 3 I’m more outgoing than my sister.Do you care if your friends are the same as you or different from you? I don’t. And my favorite saying is “ A true friend reaches for your hand andtouches your heart.Tara is my good friend. Though we are in different primary school, we often share some information from school and make each other laugh. She is similar to me. We are both talented in music. Sometimes, we are different. I’m more outgoing than her. She is more serious than me.Tara truly cares about me and she always helps to bring out the best in me. Last week, I took part in a fantastic singing competition. To get better grades, it’s necessary for me to sing more loudly and clearly. When I practiced, Tara sat there quietly listening as long as she was free. Then she told me which one was the best, and what I should do next. In fact, she sings better than me. She looks like a mirror to me and she is more hard-working than me.With Tara’s help, I won and broke the record.Unit 4 What’s the best movie theater?There are a few theaters in my hometown. If you want me to choose one, I think Renmin Theater is the best because it has the best service, the most comfortable seats and the biggest screen. And you can buy tickets cheaply. I think everybody, rich or poor, likes it. It’s close to my school. I often go there to watch talent shows. The performers have something in common. For example, they are creative and can sing songs pretty beautifully. Besides, there is a famous magician. He is good at all kinds ofmagic.The worst one is Dongfang Theater. It has worse service than Renmin Theater. It is crowded and the air in it isn’t fresh. So you can’t sit there comfortably.In fact, which theater is the best? As a reporter, I know that’s up to you to decide. But the service plays an important role in deciding. So I hope Dongfang Theater should take it seriously.Unit 5 Do you want to watch a game show?Last Friday we had a discussion about TV programs. Mike like sitcoms because many famous characters in them did a good job. He thought they’re successful. Bob thought the soap operas were simple, but he loved them. One of the main reasons was that they became more and more popular. Peter and Jim had a common interest. They were both interested in comedies. They found out comedies were funny like jokes. Mary liked cartoons because the characters in them like dressing up and taking real person’s place.As for me, I couldn’t stand films or action movies They were meaningless.I except people to watch news, because it’s educational and rich in information. From news, we may know different cultures. We might understand what happened in the world. So I hope people don’t lose interest in watching news.Unit 6 I’m going to study computer science.As college students, we often discuss this question, “ What are you going to be when you graduate?”Different students have different answers. Some want to be pilots, engineers, computer programmers or scientists. Some want to be violinists or pianists. Some want to be cooks or drivers. As for me, my parents want me to be a doctor because I’m studying medicine in a foreign university in London. But I’m not sure about it. In fact, my hobby is reading. At the beginning, I’m taking up my hobby and I often write articles and send them to magazine. Then my own resolution is to be a teacher. This has to do with my life. I often meet some poor students. I want to give them good education and little schoolwork. I think I’m able to improve the relationships between the teachers and students. I am a man who makes a promise and carries it out. I’m going to study harder. Do you agree with me?Unit 7 Will people have robots?What will the life be like in the future? Will there be world peace after several years? Here are some predictions:There will be more pollution and less fresh water because there will be more factories and more water will be polluted. The environment will probably be even more dangerous. Hundreds of people have to leave theearth by rocket to look for another planet to live on. They have to play a part in building more space stations and live like the astronauts.But some people disagree. On one side, people will plant more trees. They will live in a big apartment and never use paper money. On another side, people will make many different shapes of robots do jobs for them over and over again. They will use robots like human servants inside their home. In a word, they believe the life will be more comfortable in the future. It’s possible for people to travel in the sky or in the deep sea during their holiday.Unit 8 How do you make a banana milk shake?Thanksgiving is a traditional festival in United States. People always celebrate it in autumn because the temperature is neither too cold nor too hot then. Besides the turkey, people like to eat sandwiches and milk shake on that day. People also like to serve the travelers with them. Do you want to know how to make them?It’s easy to make a sandwich. You can put some butter ,turkey, lettuce, pepper and some salt on a piece of bread, then put another piece of bread on it. That is OK.But making apple milk shake is a little difficult. First, peel the apples and cut them up. Next, put the apples and two spoons of honey into a machine called blender. After that, pour some milk and a cup of yogurt into theblender and mix them up. If you like, you can also put some watermelon or corn into the blender. Then, cover the blender and turn it on. Finally, pour the apple milk shake into a glass. According to your taste, you can add some sugar or cheese to the shake.Unit 9 An invitation from my uncleThe day before yesterday, I was surprised but glad to hear from my uncle, who lives in Beijing. In his letter, he said he move to a new house and invited us as guests for his housewarming. This is a big event. So there will also be a concert. After reading his letter, I feel very sad because I want to accept his invitation but I have to refuse. On the one hand, I hung out with my friends during the daytime and didn’t come back until midnight. I didn’t look after myself well, so I caught a flu. On the other hand, according to our headmaster’s calendar, there will be a big exam the day after tomorrow. I have to prepare for it. That’s to say, I’m not available. So I replied to my uncle and turned down his invitation, but I told him that I would take a trip to Beijing another time to visit him. After sending the letter, I’m looking forward to the end of the exam. I think, without the preparation for exams, I will be much happier when I am in Beijing.Unit 10 If you go to the party, you’ll have a great time!It’s normal for teenagers to make some mistakes unless they are verycareful. If they make mistakes, don’t be upset or angry. Here’s some advice that experts give them.First, don’t keep them to themselves. They can talk to a person who they trust. Parents and teachers are understanding and have more experience. They can ask them for help. Sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. The second step is to find a way to solve the problem. For example, Ben left his wallet on a taxi when he is traveling halfway. He can call the taxi agent first. If he knows the driver’s call, he can call the drive certainly. There is also something else he can do by himself.Third, don’t be careless next time. Experts advise teenagers can organize a meeting so that they can help each other.。
