But I still missed my mum’s cooking! (L26)
Mum’s cooking often embodies cultural or regional flavors that are hard to replicate elsewhere. For instance, if she made traditional dishes from their hometown, John might miss the cultural identity tied to those foods.
Why did John Li still miss his mum’s cooking
In the article, there is a sentence “Each teacher has their own classroom and the students move around for every lesson.” What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of this teaching mode
Appreciation
By doing so, students can learn a specific subject in a fixed place and the learning environment can be decorated according to the teacher’s requirements. However, students have to move around for every lesson , which makes them have trouble in settling down to the study in a different learning environment every time. They may lack a sense of belonging and can’t make good friends in the classroom.
Please underline the sentences with the word “but” or “however” in the article.
Appreciation
In the beginning, however, it was still tough for me to remember everyone’s name!
I enjoyed most of the classes, but some of them were quite challenging.
However, learning in English was a great challenging for me.
Class discussion is very important in the UK, but I could not make a great contribution…
There were lots of options including bread and butter, chicken pie and puddings, but I still missed my mum’s cooking!
Please think about the usage of “but” and “however”
Appreciation
You can use but or however to introduce something that contrasts with what you have just said.
You can use but or however when you are about to add something further in a discussion or change the subject.
In recent years, a growing number of senior high students are seeking overseas study programs. Do you support the idea of senior high students studying abroad Suppose you got a chance to be an exchange student, what challenges would you probably face
Discussion
Studying abroad is a good opportunity to experience different cultures, which is helpful in broadening our horizons. It is beneficial for us to foster our perseverance and the ability to live independently. Also, there is no denying that some foreign technologies are advanced, so we can learn more in foreign countries and develop ourselves better.
In recent years, a growing number of senior high students are seeking overseas study programs. Do you support the idea of senior high students studying abroad Suppose you got a chance to be an exchange student, what challenges would you probably face
Discussion
However, studying abroad also brings about challenges. We may have difficulty in adapting to the new environment. Having lived in China for many years, we may feel uncomfortable adjusting to foreign learning methods and ways of life. Besides, it will cost a lot of money for living and tuition, but not every student’s family can afford it.

My dream school would have very modern facilities. Students would be able to choose their subjects based on their interests. There would be more than 20 subjects to choose from and some of them would be online courses. As for textbooks, there would be no paper textbooks at all. Instead, we would take our personal computers to school every day. That way, learning would become more efficient and enjoyable!
