八年级下册英语作文讲解第二单元
八年级下册英语作文讲解第二单元全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Unit 2 Explanation by a Little KidHi friends! Today I'm going to tell you all about Unit 2 in our 8th grade English book. It was really interesting and I learned a ton of cool new things!The unit was called "Making a Difference" and it was all about people who do amazing things to help others and make the world better. The first text was about a guy named Craig Kielburger. When he was just a little kid, he read a story about another kid who got killed for trying to escape child labor. Can you believe that? Craig couldn't believe that kids had to work in factories and mines instead of going to school and playing.So at 12 years old, Craig started an organization called Free the Children. He went around giving speeches to raise awareness about child labor. Pretty soon, he had tons of youth members campaigning against it too. Their motto was "Kids can free kids!" Isn't that awesome?Free the Children did all kinds of things like rallies, fundraisers, and spreading info through the media. They helped pass laws against child labor products too. Eventually the organization grew into an international charity that builds schools and provides education for kids in need. Craig is still running it today as an adult. He's like a real-life superhero!The next section had two texts comparing school life in different countries. One was about a regular school day for a kid in Canada. They wake up early, eat breakfast, take the bus, go to different classes like math and science, have recess to run around, then come home and do homework. Just a normal day for a North American student.But then we read about what school is like for kids in rural China. They have to walk hours to get to their village's one-room schoolhouse. The teacher has to teach all different grade levels together since there's only one classroom. Can you imagine having kindergarteners and 8th graders in the same class? Whoa!And the students have a ton of chores before and after school like farming, collecting firewood, and taking care of younger siblings. Their school days are basically from sunrise to sunset with barely any free time. We're so lucky we don't have lives that difficult.After that, there were some really cool firsthand accounts from kids volunteering and helping their communities. Like this one girl started a charity baking business and donated all the money to animal shelters. And this other boy collected books for an underserved school library. It made me want to do some volunteering too!My favorite part was the magazine article about a teenage girl named Hailee. She started her own non-profit called The Pollinator Partnership when she was only 9 years old! She was really worried about bees and butterflies dying off from habitat loss and pesticides.So Hailee began planting pollinator gardens full of wildflowers and setting up bee houses. She got permission to do it in parks, schools, community gardens, you name it! By age 16, her organization had created over 450 pollinator gardens across North America. How amazing is that?Hailee is such an inspiration for why kids shouldn't wait to start making a difference. She saw a problem and took action, showing that young people can be environmental heroes too. I want to be like her when I grow up!The unit also had some poems and shorter texts, but those were the main highlights for me. We learned so many newvocabulary words too like "inequity," "pursuant," and "inconceivable." I'll try using one in a sentence:It is inconceivable to me how some kids have to work in terrible conditions instead of getting an education.Did you see what I did there? Hehe, I'm so clever.Anyway, that's the scoop on Unit 2 - all about kids changing the world through activism, volunteering, and protecting the environment. I hope I clearly explained everything in a way that makes sense. Let me know if you have any other questions!Thanks for reading, see you next time!篇2Unit 2: Exploring the WorldHi everyone! Let's talk about the second unit in your 8th grade English book. This unit is all about exploring the world around us. Isn't that exciting? There are so many amazing places to discover and learn about.The first part of the unit introduces us to some famous explorers from history. You'll read about people like Christopher Columbus, who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean and discovered the Americas. Can you imagine how brave he must have been tosail into unknown waters like that? There's also a story about Zheng He, a famous Chinese explorer who led huge fleets of ships on voyages to Southeast Asia, India, and even Africa! His ships were like floating cities. How cool is that?As you learn about these explorers, you'll also practice using the past tense to talk about events that happened long ago. Things like "Columbus sailed from Spain in 1492" and "Zheng He's ships were incredibly large." Pay close attention to those -ed verb endings!The next section is all about modern exploration and adventure travel. You'll read about people who climb huge mountains, dive to the depths of the ocean, or trek through remote jungles and deserts. Their stories are super exciting and might just inspire you to become an explorer yourself one day!There are readings about scaling Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world. Can you imagine standing at the top and looking down at the clouds below you? You'll also learn about exploring the deep ocean in high-tech submarines and encountering mysterious creatures that live in total darkness. Spooky but amazing!As you read these stories, you'll practice using modal verbs like "can", "could", "may", and "might" to talk about abilities andpossibilities. For example, "Deep sea divers might see strange glowing fish" or "With special gear, explorers can climb even the highest peaks."Another cool part is learning about various adventure sports like rock climbing, whitewater rafting, and caving (exploring caves underground). The readings describe the skills, equipment, and daring feats involved in pursuing these extreme activities. Maybe you'll get the courage to try one yourself someday!Throughout this section, you'll see lots of vocabulary related to exploration, adventure, and nature. Words like "trek", "summit", "spelunker" (a cool word for a cave explorer!), and "intrepid" (meaning fearless). See if you can start using some of them in your own conversations and writing.The final part focuses on environmental issues related to travel and exploration. You'll learn how things like pollution, deforestation, and irresponsible tourism can damage natural environments and even threaten entire species. This is a serious topic, but don't worry - you'll also read about people and organizations working hard to protect our planet.There are readings about reducing plastic waste, preserving rainforests and coral reefs, and traveling in eco-friendly ways. You'll practice modal verbs again to discuss obligations, like "Weshould recycle plastic bottles" or "Tourists must be respectful of nature." These are great reminders for all of us!Wow, that's a lot we're covering in Unit 2! By the time you finish, you'll know so much about the spirit of exploration and our amazing world. You might feel inspired to start planning your own real-life adventures and ways to help take care of our planet's natural treasures.Are you excited to dive into all these cool readings and activities? Let's go exploring together! If you ever need any help, just raise your hand. This unit is going to be an epic journey.篇3Hi friends! Today I'm going to tell you all about Unit 2 in our English book. It's super fun and interesting, so listen up!The unit is called "Our Diverse World" and it teaches us about different cultures around the globe. Isn't that cool? We get to learn about how people live in faraway places and see amazing pictures too.The first part talks about Spain. We read about a guy named Miguel who lives in Madrid, the capital city. He tells us what his typical day is like - going to school, helping his mom at herbakery, and playing soccer with friends. The readings have lots of new vocabulary words about food, places in the city, and daily activities. My favorite new word is "churros" which are those delicious fried dough pastries!Next we learn about China. There are readings about the Forbidden City in Beijing and about Chinese New Year celebrations. The passages describe the beautiful traditional architecture and the fun family traditions like giving red envelopes. We also get to learn a little bit of Chinese like saying "xin nian kuai le" for "Happy New Year!"After that is a section on Kenya. We read about a young Maasai boy named Naeku who lives in a rural village. He describes the culture of his semi-nomadic tribe that moves with their cattle herds. Things like building their homes from mud, wood, and grass were really fascinating. The pictures show the beautiful, bright colors and patterns of their clothing too.The final part focuses on Australia and tells us about the indigenous Aboriginal peoples. There are stories explaining their spiritual connection to the land and traditional activities like hunting and artistic body painting. We learn about cool stuff like the didgeridoo instrument and Aboriginal words like "gangurru" meaning "peaceful."Throughout the unit there are lots of exercises to practice our English skills. We have reading comprehension questions, writing prompts, vocabulary matching, grammar drills, and speaking activities. My favorite was the project where we had to research a country and create a poster presentation about its culture and traditions.Overall, I loved learning about all the diverse cultures in Unit 2. It really opened my eyes to see how people live in different parts of the world. The readings and activities made it interesting and fun too. I feel like I know so much more about places like Spain, China, Kenya and Australia now. Understanding and appreciating cultural diversity is such an important lesson.Well, that's my detailed explanation of the second unit! Let me know if you have any other questions. I'll do my best to help any of my classmates who are still a little confused about this section. Study hard, pay attention in class, and you'll do great! Thanks for listening, guys!篇4Title: Fun with Unit 2 of Your English Book!Hi there, friends! Are you ready to dive into the next unit of your awesome English book? Unit 2 is packed with excitingstories, interesting vocabulary, and cool grammar lessons. Let me be your guide and show you around!The first thing you'll notice is the unit theme: "Exploring Nature." Isn't that neat? We'll be learning all about the great outdoors, animals, plants, and how to appreciate the beauty of our planet. Get ready for some amazing adventures!One of the main stories in this unit is called "The Brave Explorers." It's about a group of kids who go on a camping trip and end up getting lost in the woods. Don't worry, though, they use their smarts and teamwork to find their way back safely. Plus, they learn some valuable lessons about respecting nature along the way.Another cool story is "The Secret Garden." This one is a classic tale about a young girl who discovers a hidden, overgrown garden and decides to bring it back to life. As she tends to the plants and flowers, she also blossoms into a happier, healthier person. It's a beautiful story about the healing power of nature.But Unit 2 isn't just about stories! You'll also learn tons of new vocabulary words related to the outdoors, like "wilderness," "conservation," "ecosystem," and "biodiversity." These words willhelp you understand and talk about the natural world around you.Speaking of talking, this unit has some great grammar lessons too! You'll learn how to use adjectives to describe things in detail, like "the towering oak tree" or "the vibrant wildflowers." You'll also practice using past tense verbs to talk about things that have already happened, like "We hiked through the forest" or "The bird built its nest."And let's not forget about the fun activities and projects! You might get to create a nature journal, go on a scavenger hunt outdoors, or even plant your own little garden. These hands-on experiences will make learning English feel like a real adventure.Throughout Unit 2, you'll also learn about the importance of protecting our planet and its precious natural resources. You'll discover why it's so important to reduce, reuse, and recycle, and how even small actions can make a big difference for the environment.By the time you finish this unit, you'll not only have improved your English skills but also gained a deeper appreciation for the amazing world around us. Who knows, you might even be inspired to become an explorer, scientist, or environmental activist when you grow up!So what are you waiting for? Open up your English book and let's start exploring Unit 2 together. Get ready for an exciting journey filled with language, laughter, and lots of love for Mother Nature!篇5Unit 2: Our Colorful WorldHi there, kids! Let me tell you about Unit 2 in our 8th grade English book. It's all about colors and how they make our world so vibrant and exciting!The unit starts off with a fun dialogue between two friends, Amy and Sam. They are talking about their favorite colors and why they like them so much. Amy's favorite is blue because it reminds her of the clear sky and deep ocean. Sam prefers red as it's the color of fire, roses, and reminds him of energy and passion.After the dialogue, there is a vocabulary section introducing words related to colors. You'll learn words like "vibrant", "dull", "shade", "hue", and more. Knowing these words will help you describe colors in a really descriptive way.Then we move to the reading part. It's a really neat article about how colors affect our moods and emotions. For example, did you know that yellow is a cheerful color that can make you feel happy and energetic? Or that green has a calming effect since it reminds us of nature? Isn't that fascinating?The article also talks about colors in different cultures around the world. In some countries, certain colors have special meanings linked to their traditions and beliefs. Like in India, red is considered very auspicious and lucky. But in South Africa, red represents mourning. Learning about colors in world cultures is super interesting!After the reading, there are some grammar exercises focusing on adjectives. Since we often use adjectives to describe colors, this is very useful. You'll practice making adjectives comparative and superlative, likebright, brighter, brightest. This helps you say things like "The sky blue is brighter than the navy blue."One of my favorite parts is the creative writing section where you can write a poem or story using lots of colorful words and descriptions. It's so much fun to use your imagination and painters' palettes of words!Towards the end, you'll find a project where you make a "colors around the world" presentation. You can dress up in traditional costumes from different countries and show how colors are meaningful to their cultures. I did this last year and it was awesome putting on a little show for my classmaten!Throughout the unit, there are lots of pictures, maps, charts and fun activities related to colors too. Like finding things of certain shades in "color bingo", making a rainbow with skittles, and learning how to mix primary colors.Overall, Unit 2 is super engaging and you'll learn so much about the colorful world we live in. Colors make everything look beautiful and you'll appreciate them in a whole new way after this unit. Can't wait for you to dive into these vibrant lessons!篇6Hey there, friends! It's me again, coming at you with another fun lesson all about English. Today, we're going to dive into the second unit of your 8th grade English book. Get ready for some serious learning, but don't worry, I'll make it as enjoyable as playing your favorite video game!Unit 2 is all about "Exploring the Great Outdoors." Doesn't that sound exciting? We're going to learn lots of cool words andphrases to describe the amazing world of nature around us. You'll be a master of talking about plants, animals, and adventures in the wilderness by the time we're done!The first part of the unit introduces us to some really neat vocabulary words. Words like "foliage," "canopy," and "undergrowth" will help us talk about the different parts of the forest. "Canopy" is a fancy word for the tops of the trees, where you might see birds or squirrels scampering around. "Undergrowth" refers to all the plants and bushes down below on the ground. Pretty cool, right?We'll also learn words to describe different kinds of animals you might see outdoors. "Mammals," "reptiles," "amphibians" –these are all groups of animals with different features. A "mammal" is a warm-blooded animal that feeds its babies milk, like a bear or a deer. "Reptiles" are cold-blooded creatures with scales, such as snakes and lizards. And "amphibians" are those slimy fellows that can live both on land and in water, like frogs and salamanders. Isn't nature amazing?But that's not all! The unit will teach us action words (or "verbs") related to outdoor activities. Words like "hike," "camp," "explore," and "navigate" will help us talk about all the fun things people can do in the great outdoors. "Navigate" is a super usefulword that means to find your way, like using a map or compass to figure out where you're going. After this unit, you'll be a pro at describing your next big camping adventure!The readings in this unit are really interesting too. We'll read stories about famous explorers who ventured into uncharted territories, as well as tales of people's incredible encounters with wildlife. One story is about a family who came face-to-face with a huge grizzly bear while hiking in the mountains! Talk about an exciting (and maybe a little scary) adventure.There are also passages that teach us about the importance of protecting our environment and preserving natural habitats for all the cool plants and animals we'll be learning about. We'll discover ways we can help take care of our planet, like reducing waste, conserving energy, and respecting nature when we're out exploring.Throughout the unit, we'll practice our reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills with all sorts of fun activities and projects. Maybe we'll write a story about our own dream outdoor adventure, or give a presentation on our favorite animal. We might even get to go on a class field trip to a local park or nature reserve! How awesome would that be?By the end of Unit 2, you'll have a whole new appreciation for the great outdoors. You'll know how to describe the different environments, identify all sorts of cool creatures, and talk about exciting outdoor activities. Who knows, maybe this unit will inspire you to become a brave explorer or a world-famous naturalist one day!Well, that's a sneak peek at what's in store for Unit 2 of your English book. Are you getting excited to learn all about the wonders of nature? I know I sure am! Get ready to embark on an adventure into the great outdoors. It's going to be an absolute blast!。
《新视野大学英语读写教程2》各单元Banked cloze答案
Unit 1The Internet has made English learning much easier. English learners used to be obliged to spend their time in libraries looking for the books that would help them in their language studies. It was very inconvenient because a lot of materials could only be found in tedious and uninteresting textbooks and readers. But today authentic content on a variety of subjects is only a click away. This is especially beneficial for those who wants to learn English earnestly.In order to achieve fluency in English, you need to be comfortable using at least 10, 000 words. The abundant materials on the Internet make it possible for you to choose appropriate content to read and listen to. These materials can be adjusted to your level if you input some key words in the search engine. But how can you remember the bulk of unfamiliar words？In this case, the Internet evidently makes it easier to learn vocabulary. You can use online dictionaries to instantly find out their grammatical functions and the specific meaning of these words. The Internet helps you to efficiently accumulate vocabulary based on lively and interesting language content, which greatly reduces your distress caused by inability to remember the new words. The efficiency of this vocabulary learning is one of the reasons why the Internet has become an ideal place to learn English.Unit 2Through exploration of the humanities, we learn how to think creatively and critically, to analyze, and to ask questions. Because these skills allow us to gain new insight into everything from poetry and paintings to business models and politics, humanistic subjects have been at the heart of a liberal arts education since the ancient Greeks first used them to educate their citizens.Research into the human experience helps to boost our knowledge about our world. Through the work of humanities scholars, we learn about the values of different cultures, about what goes into making a work of art, and about the mystery of how history is made. Their efforts depict the great accomplishments of the past, help us understand the world today, and give us tools to imagine the prospect of our future.Today, humanistic knowledge continues to promote the ideal foundation for exploring and understanding the human experience. Learning another language might help to invest you with great insights as well as gain much appreciation of different cultures. Taking a close look at a sculpture might make you think about how an artist's life affected his creative decisions. Reading a book from another region of the world might help you speculate about the meaning of democracy. Listening to history courses might give you a clearer picture of what the future will be like.Unit 3There is a special life stage that our generation goes through. It is the transition period, during which we move from teenage to adolescence. We learn who we are and what we stand for and what inspires us. Also, in this period we are saddled with a lot of pressure from our parents who want us to make something out of ourselves.My parents have already expressed feelings of anxiety over my future with academics and life. When I expressed to them recently that I would not mind graduating in five years instead of four in order to study abroad to acquaint myself with the world, they seemed so shocked. That idea sounded foreign and to them was equivalent to lack of ambition.Apart from that, my mother has expressed to me that she is worried that I am not searching for a boyfriend. I resent this stupid idea of marrying out of college since it does not suit me one bit. Women today can get what they want out of life without a man, even children, as it becomes more acceptable for women to adopt children.I personally want to stay in school as long as I can to reinforce my academic work, possibly complete a law degree and start a career, and then after, and only after, begin to think about shifting to marriage. If my math is correct, that means I will be more or less 'ready' for marriage at the age of 29 or 30, the age when my mother had me.Unit 4Traditional dating is a self-paced, general meeting of two people. The two usually commence with spending extra time together, getting to know one another and seeing how tempting they could be to each other. A good example is a man meeting a woman and sensing her charm. He then extends a formal invitation for a date. With traditional dating, you get to go at a steady pace, allowing yourself and your date to get to know each other through extensive contact.There are many components that can be expected from traditional dates. Men, who are supposed to display these traditional values, will open the door for the woman, stand up when she leaves the table, pay for everything, and proceed to the next move. In the1950s, a man would usually ask a woman out several days ahead for a specific date and time. If she accepted, they would arrange for a time to pick her up. He would then take her to a dinner and a movie.Today the rules of traditional dating are less clear. Twenty years ago, if a young lady asked a men out on a date, it was thought to be weird. Now, women are being encouraged to take the initiative and ask men out. A date may consist of a brief meeting at a café or a trip to the local art museum. Men often pay on the first date, but the woman may offer to go Dutch. The traditional dating style has been found much less common now.Unit 5To spend or save is a question which many people have. There is always a(n) dilemma whether one should spend the money that he has earned or save that money for the future. Well, there is no explicit answer to the question as different people have different perspectives on their life, and that is the reason why some people tend to spend all the money earned while others retain control over their money.People who spend all the money do not think much about the future. The only thing that they enjoy doing most is to derive pleasure from spending money. For example, if they like a particular car, mobile phone or laptop, they will buy it without giving it a thought. For them, the most important thing is to satisfy their material appetite. People who have their first job or who haven't married often fall in this category.In the long run, saving is a good option for one's life as saving helps an individual to plan for future urgent needs. That is also the reason why many people save money for a rainy day. Individuals who can suspend their spending save money successfully. Instead of buying on impulse, they delay their purchasing decision and won't be easily manipulated by commercial ads. Individuals who have responsibility for their family belong to this category.Unit 6Simplifying is not necessarily about less. It can be about more: more time, more enjoyment, more accomplishment, and more of what profits you. If you do a lot of things that don't bring you joy or support your long-term plan, then doing less of that kind of things makes sense because you can't preserve everything. The purpose of simplifying is to remove what's not important.To understand what should be discarded, try to think of activities and things as either assets or obligations. An asset is something that is valuable. Some corresponding examples are stocks, bonds, buildings, land, gold, etc. , but a little more broadly, an asset is anything that can strengthen and motivate you, moving you closer to your goals. However, obligations are debts. An obligation is anything that weakens you, moves you farther from your goals, provides negative stress, creates anxiety, and decreases your health.Then how can you implement the idea of simplifying? Think about your daily activities and start with just one area. For example, you may begin with obligation by making a long list of your daily activities. Your list may revolve around such routines as paying bills and planning a birthday party for a friend, etc. Do the activities get you closer to your goals? If not, modify the list. Remove what is unnecessary in order to concentrate more on something important in your life.Unit 7It's obvious that women have come a long way as successful professionals. Women in the workplace are flourishing as an increased number of women have made their presence felt in many industries and professions. The sector of the female workforce has expanded with more and more strength and thus has its genuine importance in the professional world.Whether they like it or not, men have to accept that women are marching up the management ladder confidently and diplomatically. Women used to be much more "quiet and passive" due to the relatively small number of female employees in comparison to males. Women today, on the other hand, have begun seeking their administrative positions by using all their powers of intelligence.Men are hierarchical and jealous of the "beauty power" that allows women to get certain things based on their physical assets. Even though there is a(n) dispute whethermany professional females got into positions of power by using their appearance to their advantage, the valid fact is the majority of women have worked hard to achieve their desired success.Women were considered as bystanders in the workplace for many years and it was believed that the only jobs that they could handle were those of teachers or secretaries, but today's women can not only hold their own positions in the workplace, but they also have the dual task of raising their families.Unit 8The animal rights movement is a social movement which seeks an end to using animals in the research, food, clothing, and entertainment industries, hence being called animal liberation. It advocates the idea that the most basic interests of non-human creatures should be afforded the same consideration as those of human beings.Advocates lobby for animal rights from different aspects, ranging from the focus on animal suffering in laboratories to the argument that insists on not casting animals as properties of human beings. Despite the different approaches, advocates broadly consent to the opinion that animals should be viewed as non-human members of the moral community and should be omitted from being food, clothing, entertainment, or research subjects. The idea of awarding rights to animals wins the support of several prominent scholars.However, some critics argue that animals are unable to enter into a social contract or moral compass and for that reason cannot be granted rights. Only humans have duties and, therefore, only humans have rights. There is nothing wrong or evil about using animals as resources so long as there is no unnecessary suffering. From within the animal rights movement itself, there has also been criticism of certain forms of animal rights activism, in particular the destruction of fur farms and animal laboratories.。

Being a teenager is a unique and exciting phase of life. It's a time filled with growth, discovery, and a myriad of experiences that shape who we are and who we will become. As ninth graders, we find ourselves on the cusp of adulthood, navigating the complexities of both our inner worlds and the world around us.First and foremost, being a teenager is about self-discovery. We are constantly learning about ourselves – our likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, dreams and aspirations. This journey of self-discovery is often filled with ups and downs as we try new things, make mistakes, and learn valuable lessons along the way. Whether it's discovering a passion for art, realizing our talent for sports, or finding our voice through music, each experience helps to shape our identity and build our confidence.In addition to self-discovery, being a teenager is also about forming relationships. Friendships become more meaningful as we share experiences, support each other through challenges, and create lasting memories together. These friendships provide a sense of belonging and camaraderie, helping us navigate the complexities of adolescence with a sense of solidarity.Moreover, being a teenager means facing academic challenges and striving for success. Ninth grade is a crucial time academically, as we prepare for important exams and lay the foundation for our future education and careers. We spend countless hours studying, completing assignments, and seeking help when needed, all with the goal of achieving our academic goals and unlocking our full potential.Furthermore, being a teenager involves navigating the ever-changing landscape of emotions. Hormones rage, moods fluctuate, and we find ourselves grappling with a rollercoaster of feelings – from joy and excitement to sadness and frustration. Learning to manage our emotions effectively is a vital skill that will serve us well throughout our lives, helping us build resilience and cope with the challenges that come our way.In conclusion, being a teenager is a multifaceted journey filled with growth, discovery, and exploration. It's a time of self-discovery, forming relationships, facing academic challenges, and navigating the ups and downs of emotions. While it can be challenging at times, being a teenager is also incredibly rewarding, as we lay the groundwork for our future and embrace the endless possibilities that lie ahead. So let's embrace this journey wholeheartedly, cherishing every moment and seizing every opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.。
