Dear Mandy,
I'm not doing well in my lessons at school,especial in maths. My dad says I must try hard because he wants me go to university. He thinks I'm lazy,but it's not true. I work really hard,often study late into the night! I've tried to talk to my mother,but she always said I have to work as hard like my brother does. My brother doesn't study very hard,and he always gets excellent grades. It's not fair!
The only thing I like it is art. My teacher says I'm the best student she's had for year. When I told my dad,all he said was,“ You mustn’t waste your time in art. You must focus your mind on your lessons! ”
I'm feeling quite puzzling as to what to do now. Would you please help me out?
Thanks a lot!
Yours sincerely, Lisa

How to Study for a Test or Final
The end of the term is drawing near,and that means final exams are on the way. 1.
The most important thing you can do is to give yourself plenty of time to prepare. Then follow this plan:
Start Early
Gather all the material you've received during the term. Read through your class notes twice.
Some things will sound familiar and some things will sound unfamiliar. That's normal.
Establish a Study Group or Partner.
Schedule at least one meeting time with a study partner or study group. If you can't completely get together,then exchange email addresses. 2.
Collect your old exams from the year (or semester) and make a photocopy of each one. Write out the test answers and copy each one again. Use Old Tests
3.
To get the best results,you should make several copies of each old exam and keep taking the tests until you score perfectly on each one.
Build up Your Class Notes.
Organize your notes by date and make note of any missing dates/pages. Get together with a study partner or group to compare notes and fill in any missing material. 4. Everybody zones out once in a while. After you organize your new set of notes,underline any key words formulas,themes,and concepts.
Make yourself a new practice test with fill-in sentences and term definitions. Print out several tests and practice several times. 5. Then exchange.
Make Use of Old Assignments.
Gather some old assignments and redo the exercises. Review the exercises until you can every question easily.
A. Instant messages will work well, too.
B. Have a set of practice tests.
C. How can you give yourself a chance to improve your scores?
D. You might find one that makes something clear for the first time.
E. Ask the members of your study group to make practice tests as well.
F. Don’t be too surprised if you missed key information from the lectures.
G. Have your friend or study partner raise questions and compare them.
Cursive (手写体)is about to become extinct. Do we raise the red flag? To teach or not to teach cursive is the question that several state education departments are struggling with.
Before you read this write-up $ do a simple exercise. Pick a pen and paper and start writing in cursive. Yes,that fancy handwriting that you learned in grade school. You may not have forgotten the good times you had while writing loopy Ps and Gs as well as curly Ms and Ns. However,the chances are that you won't be able to write it as excellently as you used to. Some people are good at making the perfect loops and curls,while some are bad. I am still terrible at it.
Cursive is hardly used by kids anymore as even adults don 't write in this style,unless they are using it for their signature. Learning this handwriting was a usual practice in school for several decades. However,in 2011, the Indiana Department of Education made it optional (可选择的)for schools to teach cursive writing to the students. In fact, there were 46 more states who have done the same. There are some who believe that it is high time for cursive to retire from school curriculum. After all,if we don ’ t leave the past behind,we cannot make way for new things. If you walk into any classroom,you would find children using keyboards to communicate in written form. On the other hand,fans of this cursive insist on its usefulness. They remind us that if we stop teaching and learning cursive in schools,very soon most of our historical documents will become hard to us.
Where do we stand on this subject? Is it the right time to erase an almost forgotten handwriting and live in the keyboarding world? Or can we do both without compromising (妥协)on our school curriculum? Let me know your thoughts on this matter by leaving a comment in the section below.
1.People use cursive when they
A. give their signature B. are in Indiana
C. grow up as adults D. are at school
2. In Indiana school, children
A. must learn cursive
B. are interested in cursive
C. can choose to learn cursive
D. learn cursive everyday
3. It can be inferred that the author
A. prefers to learn cursive
B. is a cursive teacher
C. welcomes people to show their opinions
D. is a very famous expert in education
4. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Is Cursive Writing Necessary?
B. Is Keyboarding World Good?
C. A Keyboarding World
D. Advantages of Cursive
