5 . Recently, No.9 Middle School has done a survey on the speaking abilities of students in Grade Seven. They asked 100 students, a quarter of all the seventh graders. Here is the result.
From the survey, we can see that most students are aware (知道的) of the importance of spoken English and want to practice. The school should create more chances for them, such as the English speech competition, the English singing competition and so on.

Many teachers think it’s a good idea to find a classmate to do homework together with. The classmate can help you if you miss some classes. And you can help each other when you have some problems.
You may have lots of homework and you have to stay up late to finish it. A study says that middle school students need about 8 to 9 hours of sleep a night. So, to follow the teachers in class the next day, do have enough sleep.
