In our daily life, we face different situations and meet different people. These
experiences can 16 us in many ways.
When I was a child, I was very shy. I was afraid to talk to strangers. I always 17 my
head when I met someone new. But one day, a new classmate named Lily changed
me. She was very 18 and friendly. She always talked to me and encouraged me to join
in activities. 19 her help, I became more confident and made more friends. I learned
that being open - minded and friendly can bring us more chances to make friends.
This is what I learned from Unit 2.
In Unit 3, we learned about inventions. Inventions can change the world. For example,
the invention of the Internet makes our life much more 20. We can get information,
communicate with others and do business easily. But we should also use it properly.
We can't spend too much time 21 the Internet, or it will affect our study and health.
In Unit 5, we knew that rules are very important. We should follow the rules in
different places. When we are in the library, we should keep 22. When we cross the
road, we must follow the traffic rules. Rules can keep us 23 and make our society in
good order.
In Unit 6, we learned about natural disasters. Natural disasters can cause great
damage. But if we have some knowledge about them, we can protect ourselves.
When an earthquake happens, we should hide under a strong table 24. If there is a
fire, we should cover our mouths and noses with wet towels and run out of the
building quickly.
All in all, these units have taught me a lot. They help me understand myself, others
and the world better. I believe I can use what I've learned to face different situations
in the future.
