Now you are in middle school and have many new classmates. Why not introduce yourself to each other？ Let’s meet the school reporter Meng Ru of Nanjing Foreign Language School and her classmates.

Li Xiaoning： Hello， everyone！ My name is Li Xiaoning. My English name is Daisy. I’m 13 years old. I’m from Suzhou， a very important city in Jiangsu province. I smile a lot.

Believe it or not， in ten years I will be a world-famous musician. In school， I like helping others. When my classmates have problems in their studies， I am always ready to help them. Many teachers and classmates like me. The teachers say I set a fine example to all my classmates.

Su Haotian： Hello， everyone！ My name is Su Haotian. I’m 13 years old. I am an active girl. Everyone says I am very considerate and very helpful to others. At home， I do a lot of housework such as washing clothes and cleaning the house. I tell lots of jokes. My hobbies are swimming and playing sports. I like football best. I think it’s very exciting. I hope it can be my job when I’m older.

Meng Zhaohan： My name is Meng Zhaohan. I am 12 years old. I was born in Nanjing. My hair is short and my smile is very beautiful. I am tall and strong. I enjoy listening to all kinds of music.

Hello， friends！ Names are like magic words. Each one carries a special meaning. Let’s explore the world of names.

First， let’s start with given name. This is the name that your parents or grandparents chose for you when you were born. It’s a special gift that represents their love and hopes for you. Often your given name is also known as your first name.

Now， let’s talk about family name or surname. This is the name that you share with your family members. It’s passed down from generation to generation. In most English-speaking countries， we put the family name or surname at the end of our names. But in China， the family name is the first name. Do you know how English people get their family names？ Some family names come from the places of their homes. A man lives on or near a hill， his family name may be Hill. In England， people’s family names may be Wood， Lake， because they live near the wood or the lake. Some family names come from a person’s job. If a person is a cook， his family name may be Cook. And many people get their family names from their fathers’ names. If you hear the name “Jackson”， you can know that he is the son of Jack.

Next up is middle name. Not everyone has a middle name. Middle names can be chosen for many reasons， like honoring a relative， or using a name that has special meaning.

Now， let’s talk about full name. This is your complete name， including all the parts. It starts with your given name （or first name）， followed by your middle name （if you have one）， and ends with your family name or surname. For example， if your given name is “John”， your middle name is “William”， and your family name is “Smith”， then your full name is “John William Smith”.

Imagine you’re introducing yourself to a new classmate. You might say， “Hi， my name is John William Smith. John is my given name and first name. William is my middle name， and Smith is my family name or surname. When you put all these parts together， you get my full name： John William Smith.”

It’s passed down from generation to generation. 它代代相傳。“pass down”的意思是“傳承下來”。此處It’s=It has。本句使用的是現在完成時態，結構是have/has+過去分詞。

假如你是羅陽，一名七年級學生，你有一個英國朋友William Smith，他12歲，聰明，友善，喜歡下棋、看書、彈鋼琴。他最喜歡的學科是科學，將來想成為愛迪生那樣的科學家。他很喜歡中國，想要結交更多的中國朋友，請你寫一篇不少于100詞的短文，把William介紹給你們班同學。

Hello， boys and girls！ I have a special friend. His name is William Smith. He is 12 years old. He comes from the UK. He is smart， shy and friendly.

He likes playing chess. He also likes reading books. Playing the piano is one of his hobbies. He played the piano at the age of five. Now he can play the piano very well. In his free time， he often goes swimming or paints at home.

He likes science. He wants to be a scientist like Edison.

If you want to be his friend， please email him at williamsmith007@gmail.com.

第1段建議使用不同長度和結構的句子，以增加語言的生動性和趣味性。比如，可以使用更具活力的動詞替換簡單的“is”。

第2段開頭可以先表達觀點，然后用1～2個事實來支撐觀點。如：He has many hobbies. He likes.... Also， he is interested in....

畫線句與上下文缺乏邏輯關聯。根據上下文，William最喜愛的學科是科學，夢想長大了當像愛迪生一樣的科學家，那么，空余時間他應該做與此相關的事情。
