6、 with my friends, but I just don' t have the time anymore. In the evening, I used to watch TV or chat with my grandmother, but now I have to study. I love music, and my father used to take me to concerts. These days, I hardly ever have time for concerts. I do myhomeworkand go to bed. I really mi

7、ss the old days.我最大的問題我最大的問題是我太忙了。當我小時候時，我曾經有很多時間，但這些天， 我起得早，并在學校里呆一整天。然后我徑直回家吃晚飯。在我上高中之前，我 經?；ê芏鄷r間和我的朋友玩游戲，但我現在再也沒有那時問了。在晚上，我經?？措娨暬蚝臀业淖婺噶奶?，但現在我必須學習。我喜歡音樂，我的父親經常帶 我去音樂會。這些天，我幾乎沒有時間去音樂會了。我做我的功課和上床睡覺。我真的很懷念過去的日子Unit 3The other day,my friends and I talked about the rules that we have inclass.At our sch

8、ool,we have to wear uniformsevery day.The problem is that all myclassmates think the uniforms are ugly.We think youny people shoud look smart and so we would like to wear our own clothes.Our teachers belive that if we did that,we should concentrate more on our clothes than our studies.We disagree.We

9、 would feel more comfortable and that is good for studying.If we can't do that,we should be allowed to design our ownuniforms.That would be a good way to keep both teachers and students happy.It's also probably a good idea for parents to allow teenagers to study in groups during the evening.

10、I know we get noisy sometimes,but we lear a lot from each other.We also think that vacations should be longer.At present they're too short.Longer vacations would give us time to do things like volunteering.Last summer I had an opportunity to volunteer at the local hospital,but I could 't bec

12、法去維持師生友好。這對于父母也可能是個好方法去允許青少年晚上在 組里學習，我知道我們有時會制造噪音，但是我們學習的時候更多。我們同樣認 為假期也該更長一些。假期太短了。更長的假期可以給我們時間去做像是參觀， 上個暑假，我得了個機會去參觀當地的醫院，但是我不能去，因為我得回學校了。 這對我將是個多好的經歷，因為我想在我長大后去當名醫生Unit 4If you answer A for most question , then you are outgoing and fair confident.You have plenty of friends, and you enjoy the comp
