阅读:一个同学提议可以提早完结数学课程,因为有些学生已经了解了相关的知识点,可以提前完成数学考试。这样剩下的时间,学生们可以用来完成其他课程。
听力:同意1.学生花了很多的时间来完成数学作业。但是有些都是学生已经学会的内容,作业的目的是为了考试,如果学生已经会了,应该提早考试,提早完成这个任务。2.学生这个学期有很多内容要学,例如文学阅读等,如果可以提前完成数学考试,就意味着有时间去完成其他的课程,从而减轻了他的压力感,使他更好地适应学业。

综合写作主题:火箭着陆火星,应该选择equator 赤道还是pole极点阅读总观点:降落在equator比较好
1.赤道温度适宜,不会损伤设备 ,基地太冷了
2.赤道自转速度大,可以帮助减少燃料消耗
3.赤道光线好,visibility较高听力
总观点:降落在pole比较好
1.赤道的温度日夜差极大,热胀冷缩更容易损伤设备,相比之下,极点温度相对稳定
2.火箭的燃料的组成成分在火星赤道并不多,在极点有冰形式的水,这一优势比自转速度更大
3.极点的环境辐射更少,赤道辐射,对宇航员的健康有较大影响

This week, we discussed the importance of role models in society. One idea we discussed was the widespread impact of “influencers”. Influencers are people who are very active posting on social media and who have many followers. Influencers’ posts and opinions can influence their followers’ choices on everything from fashion to politics. In your opinion, do social media influencers generally have a positive or negative effect on their followers? Why do you think so?
Kelly
I think the influencers’ effect is generally positive. People can learn about the latest trends and topics in a very quick and efficient way by following influencers. In the past, people had to spend time looking through magazines or visiting boutiques to even know what was trending.
Paul
I think influencers generally have a negative effect because they have far too much influence. I can think of one influencer who only has to mention a particular kind of sports shoes, and the next day they’ll be sold out. The followers aren’t really thinking for themselves; they’re just blindly following their influencers’ choices.
