1 . I love English. My teachers and classmates think I speak good English.     1     OK, let me tell you.

I have a good friend, Lisa. We are in different schools.     2     We talk about different topics (话题) in English. We always have a good time.

Every week I go to English Corner in the city square, too.     3     She is from America. I teach her Chinese and she teaches me English. Linda is nice. We are friends now.

    4     They are fun to watch and watching them helps me a lot with my pronunciation (发音).

    5     Hope they can help you.

2 . Her life looks like one straight out of a fairy tale (童话). Li Ziqi impresses millions with her videos.     1     The things she made are from dyeing (染色) a dress with fresh grape juice to fashioning traditional lipstick (口红), from roses in her garden to searching on horseback in order to prepare one pretty meal after another.

She has some 50 million fans in China and another 8 million overseas.     2     So she remains a mystery to many of the fans. But now, she’s ready to open up to us. To find Li, we had to travel to a village rural in Sichuan Province. Li grew up with her grandmother here.     3     In 2012, she decided to return to the countryside to take care of her grandmother.

She started filming her life there in 2016, from common dishes to salted duck eggs. She’s also known for her videos showing traditional art works, like building this bamboo furniture.     4     Li’s videos have attracted a lot of young people’s attention in China’s big cities. But some viewers (观众) have been doubting the truth of her videos and her life. Li says she now works with one videographer (摄影师) and one assistant (助理).     5     But today, three years after she first picked up the camera, Li is one of China’s most successful online video makers.

3 . Chongyang Festival is on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month every year. Do you know how it comes?     1    

Once there is a man called Huan Jing.     2     One day, Fei Changfang tells Huan Jing, “On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, your parents are going to be ill. You must go home now.     3    . Then take the red bags in your hands, and climb up the mountain (爬上山) near your house. You can stay (待) on the mountain until (直到) the next day. Then your parents can be OK.”

    4    . He asks his family to do all those things. This saves his parents. Huan Jing is very happy.

Many people hear of it.     5    . Then it becomes a tradition (传统) now.

5 . It’s quite normal for you to make mistakes. However, if you make the same mistake for three times or even more, it will be hard for you to be forgiven (原谅).     1     I think keeping an error correction book (纠错本) after class is a good way. Mistakes must be corrected when you are studying. Correcting is more valuable over the long term especially for the ninth graders.

    2     After knowing your mistakes, you should correct them at once. So that you can remember why you made these mistakes. The reasons why you make mistakes are as follows: You don’t fully understand what you have learned; You don’t remember what you should remember;     3     If you find out the reasons for the mistakes, you will avoid the above points and finally have good studying habits.     4    

All in all, the error correction book is one of the most useful tools while you are studying.     5     What’s more, looking over your own error correction book often can make up for your knowledge gaps (缺口).
