Have you ever wished that your school had its own newspaper Why not try to start one This guide will offer you some help.
In a school paper, you can write about topics you and your schoolmates are interested in. Here are some possible sections:

◆Interviews. Celebrate student achievements in and out of school with interviews. You can also interview teachers to give students a look into their lives outside the classroom. This helps strengthen the connection between students and teachers.
◆Reviews. Give students a space to share their views on newly released movies, TV shows, games, etc.
◆Advice. Offer helpful tips such as how to take better notes in class or how to manage stress during exams.

REAL LIFE Does the Titan remind you of the Titanic On April 10, 1912, the Titanic set sail from England. Everyone thought it was “unsinkable.” But just four days later, it struck an iceberg and sank.

In just 1.93 seconds—faster than it takes you to read this sentence—Chen Yuxi completed her final dive at the 15th National Games (全国运动会) with full confidence. With an impressive score of 412.30, the diving star achieved one of her long-held dreams: winning the National Games title (冠军头衔) in the women’s 10-meter platform. “I’m very happy to win,” she said calmly as she stepped onto the podium (领奖台) with her coach.
These simple words, however, barely reveal (透露) the long and rocky road she took to reach this moment.
From the 14th National Games in 2021 to the 2024 Paris Olympics, Chen was no stranger to gold in synchronized events (双人项目) . But in individual competitions (个人比赛), she fell short time and again. After the Paris Olympics, she felt lost and began doubting her own abilities. The stress was beyond measure. At one point, even seeing the diving pool made her feel awful. “Honestly, all I wanted to do was escape,” the Olympian admitted.
It was then that Chen recalled her coach’s favorite advice and decided to try diving one more time. Little by little, she pushed through her stress and regained her strength. At the 2025 World Aquatics Championships (世界游泳锦标赛) this past July, she finally won the women’s 10-meter platform again. This was, in fact, not her first act of courage. Chen had been naturally afraid of water. At the age of six, she tried diving for the first time, and that brave first jump set her on the path to becoming a champion.
Years of hard practice alone aren’t enough for Chen to do well in her sport. Now 20, Chen must strictly keep her weight at 42.5 kilograms to perform at her best. She reportedly weighs herself ten times a day. Chen also keeps an eye on her diet. She never eats sweets and usually takes only a few bites of vegetables when she’s at home.
Chen has yet to win an Olympic gold medal in the women’s 10-meter platform. But with a stronger and calmer mind, she can now focus entirely on her dives. She has set her sights on the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics—ready to push her limits once again.
52. Chen Yuxi hasn’t won an Olympic gold medal in the women’s 10-meter platform, has she
_______________________________________________________
53. How did Chen feel about diving after the Paris Olympics
_______________________________________________________
54. When did Chen try diving for the first time
_______________________________________________________
55. According to the article, what might be “her coach’s favorite advice”
_______________________________________________________
56. According to the article, what made Chen do well in her sport
_______________________________________________________
57. According to the article, what words would you use to describe Chen Why (Write two points.)
She is ________ because ____________________________.
She is ________ because ____________________________.

Good morning, everyone! I’m Li Hua. I suggest we make a short film about the diver Chen Yuxi. She shows us the true meaning of never giving up.
We can focus on how she faced her fear of water as a child and later overcame stress after the Olympics. Her story is not just about winning but about the hard work and courage behind it. She teaches us that with enough effort, we can all overcome difficulties. Let’s make a film that inspires everyone to stay strong and keep trying, just like she does.
That’s all. Thank you!
