Introduce each other

reading1

Now you are in middle school and have many new classmates. Why not introduce yourself to each other？ Let’s meet the school reporter Meng Ru of Nanjing Foreign Language School and her classmates.

Li Xiaoning： Hello， everyone！ My name is Li Xiaoning. My English name is Daisy. I’m 13 years old. I’m from Suzhou， a very important city in Jiangsu province. I smile a lot. People call me a sunshine girl. I like writing， playing the piano， singing and making friends. Life is full of challenges and I am always ready to face them.

Believe it or not， in ten years I will be a world-famous musician. In school， I like helping others. When my classmates have problems in their studies， I am always ready to help them. Many teachers and classmates like me. The teachers say I set a fine example to all my classmates.

Su Haotian： Hello， everyone！ My name is Su Haotian. I’m 13 years old. I am an active girl. Everyone says I am very considerate and very helpful to others. At home， I do a lot of housework such as washing clothes and cleaning the house. I tell lots of jokes. My hobbies are swimming and playing sports. I like football best. I think it’s very exciting. I hope it can be my job when I’m older.

Meng Zhaohan： My name is Meng Zhaohan. I am 12 years old. I was born in Nanjing. My hair is short and my smile is very beautiful. I am tall and strong. I enjoy listening to all kinds of music.

Hello， friends！ Names are like magic words. Each one carries a special meaning. Let’s explore the world of names.

First， let’s start with given name. This is the name that your parents or grandparents chose for you when you were born. It’s a special gift that represents their love and hopes for you. Often your given name is also known as your first name.

Now， let’s talk about family name or surname. This is the name that you share with your family members. It’s passed down from generation to generation. In most English-speaking countries， we put the family name or surname at the end of our names. But in China， the family name is the first name. Do you know how English people get their family names？ Some family names come from the places of their homes. A man lives on or near a hill， his family name may be Hill. In England， people’s family names may be Wood， Lake， because they live near the wood or the lake. Some family names come from a person’s job. If a person is a cook， his family name may be Cook. And many people get their family names from their fathers’ names. If you hear the name “Jackson”， you can know that he is the son of Jack.

Next up is middle name. Not everyone has a middle name. Middle names can be chosen for many reasons， like honoring a relative， or using a name that has special meaning.

Now， let’s talk about full name. This is your complete name， including all the parts. It starts with your given name （or first name）， followed by your middle name （if you have one）， and ends with your family name or surname. For example， if your given name is “John”， your middle name is “William”， and your family name is “Smith”， then your full name is “John William Smith”.

Imagine you’re introducing yourself to a new classmate. You might say， “Hi， my name is John William Smith. John is my given name and first name. William is my middle name， and Smith is my family name or surname. When you put all these parts together， you get my full name： John William Smith.”

It’s passed down from generation to generation. 它代代相传。“pass down”的意思是“传承下来”。此处It’s=It has。本句使用的是现在完成时态，结构是have/has+过去分词。

假如你是罗阳，一名七年级学生，你有一个英国朋友William Smith，他12岁，聪明，友善，喜欢下棋、看书、弹钢琴。他最喜欢的学科是科学，将来想成为爱迪生那样的科学家。他很喜欢中国，想要结交更多的中国朋友，请你写一篇不少于100词的短文，把William介绍给你们班同学。

Hello， boys and girls！ I have a special friend. His name is William Smith. He is 12 years old. He comes from the UK. He is smart， shy and friendly.

He likes playing chess. He also likes reading books. Playing the piano is one of his hobbies. He played the piano at the age of five. Now he can play the piano very well. In his free time， he often goes swimming or paints at home.

He likes science. He wants to be a scientist like Edison.

If you want to be his friend， please email him at williamsmith007@gmail.com.

第1段建议使用不同长度和结构的句子，以增加语言的生动性和趣味性。比如，可以使用更具活力的动词替换简单的“is”。

第2段开头可以先表达观点，然后用1～2个事实来支撑观点。如：He has many hobbies. He likes.... Also， he is interested in....

画线句与上下文缺乏逻辑关联。根据上下文，William最喜爱的学科是科学，梦想长大了当像爱迪生一样的科学家，那么，空余时间他应该做与此相关的事情。
