人教版八年级下册Unit 2 提升练习

When I was young, I was interested in Chinese movies that I wanted to know more about Chinese culture like Kungfu and Xiqu. I often 1to go to China one day.

Luckily, when I was learning theater at university, I was provided with a chance to study2. There was a programme study Asian cheater arts either in China or in India. I3to go to China and learn Beijing Opera in a Chinese theater school. The school offered me a place to practice. It was good4I could practice whenever I wanted. Also I had5lessons -the teacher would give me one-to-one class for three hour. That was the best part of my study in China. I do appreciate(感激)this chance to6the beautiful art!

I got a lot from my study in China. It has greatly7me and helped me develop into a more skillful8. This Chinese art gives me plenty of9 so I can use them when I perform (表演) other shows in Europe. I have10 an art center to teach Beijing Opera, Now there are more fans of Beijing Opera in my country.

    Indonesia is my mother's homeland and one of my favorite countries. Since I was young, I had learned a lot about the country and become interested in it. For a long time I had wanted to do something for the country and people there, and I thought volunteering（做志愿者） would be a good and fun way to do so.

    I received the greatest pleasure from being with the children.

    Teaching my first English class in Aceh was exciting, but I was rather nervous. As time went by, I learned how to be a better teacher. Teaching was actually the most enjoyable of my many responsibilities(责任).

    Many children were shy at first. But when they relaxed, they would start talking and telling you a lot of funny things. I believed we were helping them build up their confidence.

    For the children who are more in need. The Education Program（TEP） will collect donations(募捐) to help them.

    As a volunteer, I had to visit the TEP children at home once a month and help them write a thank-you letter to their sponsors. This was a way for the children to communicate with their sponsors. Sometimes the sponsors would write back to the children. Seeing the children's happy faces, I had a great sense of pleasure.

China is a country a rich culture in calligraphy (书法). computer is everywhere in our life, Chinese people should not the skill of writing with hands.

Computer is very useful to help people to write. People are using computers than before. So many people are forgetting how Chinese characters (字).

People often make a lot ofin writing.

Today, China isto help students and teachers to improve (提高) their writing. We hope that all the teachers can write on the blackboard and all the students can write well on their exercise books, too. Teachers should write their teaching plans and students should   finish their homework writing with hands. We are sure handwriting will become better and better in this way.

—It's my computer. Can you f it up?

    I have two good friends. They are Mike and Jim. We study in the same school but in different. They are very helpful and friendly. They both give away several hours each week(help) others.

    Mike likes animals very much. His favorite animals are pandas. He also likes dogs and cats very much. He wants(be) an animal doctor when he(grow) up. So he volunteers at an animal hospital every Sunday. He thinks the work can help him to get his dream job. He can learn a lothow to care for animals. He can get a strong(feel) of satisfaction when he sees the animals get better and the look of joy on their(owner) faces.

    Jim likes singing. He practices singing in the morning every day. He often goes to the primary school to teach the(children) to sing. He can also play the violin well. Some children want to learn to play the violin. So Jim usually teaches them to play the violin on weekends. He thinks(volunteer) is a dream which has come true for himhe can do what he loves to do and help others at the same time.

    Here are some ideas for you on how to help others through volunteering.

    When people get older, it becomes harder to do many things, from walking to the store to doing the housework. Old people living alone can also feel lonely. As a volunteer. You can do a lot to help the old in your neighborhood. You could visit them and help them with their housework.

    Many people with disabilities need help. You could volunteer to read books to the blind or deliver(递送) something for people who can't get around too well.

    There are lots of volunteer jobs to do in hospitals and health care centers. As a volunteer, you can make beds, deliver flowers and gifts, help serve meals, and do lots of other important jobs.

    Some families don't have enough money to buy food and clothes for their kids. Some people don't have place to live at all. To help these people as a volunteer, you can give clothes, food or money t0, or raise money for, a charity(慈善机构).

    Sometimes people need more help when the holidays come. Holidays are happy, but for people who are alone or unlucky, they can be a lonely, hard time. As a volunteer, you can deliver holiday dinners to less lucky people, visit the lonely old people and serve food to the homeless.
