以下内容为按课堂已讲方向整理的课后复习改进版,保留课堂中的书、老电脑、狼来了、纸质书和家庭传统等实际内容。
My first mobile phone was an iPhone, and it was quite easy to use. I use my mobile phone every day. I usually use it to search for information, study and play games. I don't think I spend too much time on my phone because I need to use it to do a lot of useful things.
I don't really like buying shoes. However, I need to buy new shoes every three months because I train really hard, and my shoes are destroyed very quickly. I usually wear sneakers because they are the best choice for a basketball player. I have never bought shoes online because I need to try on the shoes and see if they fit. I prefer comfortable shoes because I play basketball, and I need my shoes to give me good traction.
Yes, I like flowers because they are beautiful. My favorite flower is the peony because it is a famous Chinese flower. I think flowers are important because many people use them to express their emotions and show how they feel. The last time someone gave me flowers was about a year ago.
Today I would like to talk about a novel called The Old Man and the Sea. I first read this book when I was fourteen years old in high school. My best friend strongly recommended it to me, so I decided to try it. I read one chapter every night before I fell asleep, and it took me about one week to finish it. I think this book is useful for several reasons. First, it is an exciting adventure story. When I read about the old man fighting with the shark, I felt very excited. Second, the old man never gives up, and this taught me an important life lesson. When I face a huge challenge in real life, I should be like the old man and keep trying until I complete the task. Also, I read this book in English, so it helped me improve my English reading level. I would recommend it to others because it has a nice story and gives people strength.
Today I would like to talk about an old computer in my family. I had this computer when I was in primary school, and my family has kept it for about ten years. When I was younger, I used it to study, search for information and watch basketball games. Now it is too old and too slow, so we do not use it very often. We keep it in the study room, and it is probably covered with a lot of dust. However, I still think it is important and meaningful. It was my first computer, and it taught me how to use a computer. It also helped me solve many problems when I was in primary school. Most importantly, this computer carries many family memories. It feels like an old friend, so my family will probably keep it forever.
Today I would like to talk about a traditional story called The Wolf Is Coming. My grandfather told me this story when I was six years old, and it left a deep impression on me. The story is about a boy who tells lies. At first, he shouts, 'The wolf is coming!' The farmers take their tools and rush to help him, but they find out that it is only a joke. Later, the boy does the same thing again, and the farmers become angry, but they still forgive him. Finally, a real wolf comes and kills his sheep. The boy cries and shouts for help, but no one believes him anymore. I think this story teaches us to be honest. If we always cheat others, no one will help us when we are really in trouble.
Some people prefer physical books because the reading experience is more immersive. When people read on a phone or a computer, they can easily get distracted by other apps, such as WeChat, news or computer games. I also think reading habits have changed in recent years. In the past, people read books to relax, but nowadays many people prefer short videos or games because they do not have a long attention span. For young people, adventure novels can be useful because they can teach life lessons, such as never giving up. It is also important for children to develop reading habits early because reading can build up their vocabulary, improve their writing skills and help with their imagination. Old things are important too because they may carry family memories. However, the world is evolving, so we should keep what is good in traditions and improve what is not suitable for modern life.
