河北省唐山市路北区2025-2026学年七年级上学期10月月考英语试题

Good to1 from you! Today I want to tell you about my life in China. I think you will like to2 it.

I study3 a middle school in Beijing. And my home is4 to Wu Jun's. We often do homework together. He and I are in the5 school, but in different classes. I'm in Class 3 and he is in Class 5. Wu Jun likes Chinese, but it's not my cup of6. His mom and dad teach Chinese in our school. Many students like7 very much. My Chinese is not good,8 they always help me with it. We both live near the school. Wu Jun and I walk to school every9. We listen to the teachers10 because we are all ears in class. We always read books in the school library. And then we go home.

I'm very happy to live in China. I hope you will come here one day.

Yours truly,

Jack

Teaching Building

In the middle of the school stands our teaching building. It's a four-storey building. Our classrooms are on the second and third floors. We study English, math and other subjects here. But we have our science lessons in the lab building.

Library

Next to the teaching building is the library. It's between the science lab and the teachers' office. There are lots of books in it. Sometimes we have our reading lessons there. We often borrow books and read newspapers after class.

Playground

Behind the teaching building is our playground. It's a very large and happy place. We not only do morning exercises but also play sports after class. Sometimes we have PE lessons on it.

Every place in my school is useful and beautiful. We love our school because it is like oursecond home. School is a building which has four walls with tomorrow inside.

Hot pot usually needs a big pot of boiling soup. Then, people can put many things in it as they like, such as beef, chicken, fish, cabbages, mushrooms, potatoes, eggs, tofu, noodles and so on. People in China love hot pot all year round. It keeps the body warm in winter. Even on hot summer days, many people still love the delicious taste of hot pot.

Hot pot can be different across China. Chongqing is famous for its spicy (辛辣的) red soup. But in Guangdong, the hot pot is not spicy. The mild taste shows another side of Chinese food culture.

So, hot pot is more than just food. It's a part of Chinese culture.

First, people in different countries have different ways of greeting each other. In Japan, people usually bow to greet others and show respect (尊重). In France and Italy, people often kiss on the cheeks. In France, they kiss 2—5 times in different places. In Italy, they usually kiss twice, right cheek first, then left.

Second, there are many differences in eating habits. Chinese people eat rice, noodles, vegetables and meat while Western people love bread, milk, salad and steak. People in many Western countries usually eat with a knife and fork, but Chinese eat with chopsticks (筷子). Indians even use their hands to eat! In China, if your guests have no food on their plates, it's polite to put food on their plates. In Canada, you pass food to guests, but you don't usually put food on their plates.

It's important for people to respect different cultural customs. That will help people from all countries understand each other well and live happily together.

Do people like the same color? Of course not. Why? Because different people have different ideas. Black is one of the popular colors. People like it because it makes people look thinner. White is a clean color, but it is easy to get dirty. Blue is the colour of the sky and the sea. It often makes people feel cool. Green is a good color for our eyes. After doing homework for a long time, you can watch something green. Yellow is a lovely color, but if you are in a yellow room for a long time, you may get angry easily.

Colors are not only colors, they can tell much more. In English, when you have so many falls that your legs can be "black and blue" all over. When you are young, you can say you are "in the green". If you are sad, you "feel blue". If you are angry, you can say you "see red". When you find a big dog standing on your way, don't be "yellow"!

Colors are really interesting.
