It happens to all of us. It is the end of the semester and your teacher gives you your report card. You look at it and your heart stops because you realize that your parents are going to be very angry. This is the classic case of a bad report card! There is nothing you can do to change the past. So, what do you do now?

A disappointing report card is something that almost all students will experience at least once in their lives. Grades are how most schools evaluate（評價）students and they are pretty important. The problem is that we do not always get good grades we (or our parents) want. After a bad report card, it is important to figure out what to do next.

The first thing to do is talk to your teacher. Find out how your grades were calculated. Was the problem a bad test, lack of participation（參與）in class, or a failure to complete homework? Next, if the problem is something you can solve on your won (such as not doing your homework), make a promise to change your behaviour! However, if you have been studying hard and still got a bad grade, you probably need some extra help with your classes. Talk to your teacher and explain your situation. He or she will tell you where you can receive the extra help you need. Then, make a detailed plan of how you will improve your grades. Write down the plan and have it ready when you take to your parents. That’s good way to make your parents less angry.

While all parents want their children to get good grades, most understand that not every report card will be perfect. The important thing is that you show your parents you have a plan to improve your grades for next time. Always remember, many of the world’s most successful people failed many times before they became successful. They learn ed from their failures, and you should too!

Would you like to be comfortable talking to other people? Holding conversations may help.

Holding conversations may not seem like a skill. _______ , everyone talks to other people frequently（頻繁地）.

But talking to new people makes many people nervous.

Here are some ways to make conversations more fun and less awkward（尷尬的）.

Body language

As strange as it may seem, much _______happens without any words.

The way you stand and act tells people a lot about you. When you’re talking with someone, stand up straight and look them in the eye. This shows that you’re confident.

Lean forward to show that you’re interested in what they’re saying.

Back and forth

A good conversation is not a _______, which means that both people need to participate. If you’re doing all the talking , pause to give the other person time to speak. If they don’t say anything, try asking them a question.

When you ask questions, try to come up with open-ended ones. That means questions where the answer is more than just “yes” or “no.” Open - ended questions in English tend to start with who, what, when, where and why.

Don’t fear _________.

Don’t panic if the conversation has quiet moments. Every conversation has some. Think of them as opportunities to change the subject to something you’re interested in. You could also comment on（評論）something you’ve done recently. Or once again, you can ask a question about the other person.

So if you’re shy, be brave, ask a question, and start a conversation. As with any skill, you will_______on holding conversations with time.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.

A local primary school is considering using tablet computers（平板電腦）in all classrooms from next year. The following text has been written by a teacher at the school.

Should we use tablet computers in the classroom?

The use of tablet computers（or simply“tablets”）in the classroom has become an increasingly popular choice in many primary schools across the country, including many in our local area. It is important that we consider this opportunity, but we must also be a 1. of the problems.

On one hand, there are many a2.to use tablets in the classroom.

Firstly, tablets could improve productivity（ 效 率 ）during the school day. Because of their familiarity with computers and mobile phones, many of our students can type faster than they can write by hand. T3. , using tablets in the classroom could reduce the time it takes for them to complete tasks. Additionally, there are endless tablet functions（功能）which could provide interesting teaching a4.. For example, we could play computer games to teach Maths, or make simple flashes to show how magnets behave. Also, students could take photos outdoors and then use them for writing tasks.

However, we must also consider the possible problems with introducing tablets to our classrooms. Some students may play with the tablets instead of f 5. on their work. Another problem is that, while many students can use tablets already, many of our teachers are not good at it and would need to be trained. We may also have problems with the tablets breaking, which would be very expensive to r6. . This is in addition to the cost of buying the tablets in the first place.

All in all, even though using tablets in the classroom may have many problems, it seems that it would be a wonderful opportunity for students and teachers at our school. There are a lot of costs indeed, but it would c7.prove to be a worthwhile investment（物有所值的投資）.

Answer the questions.

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,

As you may have heard from my parents, I’m in China right now on a cultural exchange program. I’m enjoying my time here very much. I have made new friends here, many of whom are locals. Through my interaction（相互交流）with them, I’ve noticed some interesting cultural differences. One of the most obvious（ 明 顯 的 ）cultural differences is the size of food portions in restaurants. Back home in America, the food portions are usually larger than those I’ve seen in China. We’re even used to seeing super-sized dishes in some restaurants.

However, in Asia, food portions are generally not extremely large. I’m must encouraged to eat until I’m full and enjoy different kinds of food. Eating out in Asia is often a big social affair（社交活動）. People here eat out a lot. There are all kinds of restaurants. And there are food stands and food carts-even on the sidewalk（人行道）.

Another interesting aspect of eating out is the way food is served. Back home in America, each diner orders their own meal. When people eat out in Asia, they usually order food to share. Nearly every time I eat out with friends in China, each of us has our own bowl of rice or noodles, and we share the rest of the dishes. This is an excellent way to try new foods! One thing that makes me confused is the way people pay for food at a restaurant.

In the U.S. we often ask for separate（分開的）checks, so we each pay for our own meal. But here, if diners decide to pay separately, they typically don’t request separate checks. Instead, they give money to one person who pays the bill. People also don’t tip the server. Instead, there is often a service charge added to the bill.

I hope you are doing well. I’ll write you again!

Love, Margare
