开头：Dear Mike,I'm glad to know you're interested in the Spring Festival. Let me tell you something about it.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文：Dear Mike,I'm glad to know you're interested in the Spring Festival. Let me tell you something about it.The Spring Festival is like Christmas in China, but with our own special traditions. A few days before the festival, my family cleans the house from top to bottom. My grandma says this sweeps away bad luck. Then we paste red couplets on the doors—red is our lucky color!On New Year's Eve, we have a big family dinner. My favorite part is making dumplings together. My mom hides a coin in one dumpling, and whoever finds it will have good luck. Last year, I was the lucky one!Nowadays, some things are changing. Many people use WeChat to send red envelopes instead of giving paper ones. But one thing never changes: the whole family gets together. For me, that's what Spring Festival truly means—being with the people you love.Yours,Li Hua

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文：My Favorite Traditional Chinese ArtAmong all traditional Chinese arts, paper-cutting is my favorite. It's an art of cutting paper into beautiful patterns with scissors or knives.I fell in love with paper-cutting when I was eight. My grandmother, who is really good at it, taught me how to make my first piece—a simple "福" character. I still remember how excited I felt when I unfolded the paper and saw the character appear.What I love most is that paper-cuttings are not just for show. People put them on windows and doors during festivals to bring good luck. Every piece carries a wish or a blessing.Now I make paper-cuttings for my friends on their birthdays. When they receive my handmade gifts, their smiles make me proud of this beautiful art.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文：My grandfather lives with us. He's 78 years old and has difficulty walking. Last month, my parents had to go on a business trip for a week, so I took care of him.Every morning, I woke up earlier to prepare his breakfast. I learned to cook his favorite porridge. After school, I hurried home to help him with his exercises. The hardest part was helping him down the stairs for his doctor's appointment. I held his arm tightly and walked slowly, step by step.One evening, he held my hand and said, "You've grown up, my child." His eyes were watery. At that moment, I felt warm inside.I realized that respecting elders isn't just about saying "please" and "thank you." It's about being there when they need you. It's about giving back the love they've given us for so many years. This experience taught me that love is shown through actions, not just words.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文：Dear Sarah,Happy birthday! I've prepared a special gift for you—a Chinese knot. It's bright red and shaped like a beautiful flower.I chose this gift because the Chinese knot carries a beautiful meaning. In China, red symbolizes good luck and happiness. The knot itself represents unity, love, and good wishes. The Chinese character "结" (knot) sounds like "吉", which means good fortune.I remember you once told me you wanted something that could remind you of our friendship. Well, this Chinese knot is perfect for that! You can hang it in your room or on your backpack. Every time you see it, I hope you'll think of me and the good wishes from China.I made this knot myself with the help of my grandmother. It took me three tries to get it right! I hope you like it.Wish you a wonderful birthday!Yours,Li Hua
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文：Chinese Tea CultureGood morning, everyone! Welcome to China. Today I'd like to share something about Chinese tea culture.In China, tea is more than just a drink—it's part of our daily life. When guests visit, the first thing we do is offer them a cup of tea. My grandpa drinks tea every morning while reading newspapers. He says tea wakes him up better than coffee!Tea is also good for our health. Green tea helps you stay awake and focused. Some teas can even help with digestion after meals. That's why many Chinese people drink tea during or after dinner.I have a special memory with tea. Last year, I visited a tea farm with my family. I picked tea leaves with my own hands and watched how they were processed. The farmer taught us to drink tea slowly and enjoy its fragrance. That experience made me understand why tea has been loved for thousands of years.I hope you'll enjoy Chinese tea during your stay. Maybe you'll fall in love with it, just like we have!

词数80-100。
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文：AI in My Daily LifeAI has become a part of my everyday life, and the best example is the voice assistant on my phone—Xiao Ai.At first, I only used it to set alarms and check the weather. But last winter, it really helped me. I was doing my geography homework and couldn't remember the capital of a country. Instead of searching on the internet, I just said, "Xiao Ai, what's the capital of Canada?" She answered immediately: "Ottawa."Since then, I've used her for all kinds of things. When I'm cooking instant noodles and don't know how long to wait, I ask her to set a timer. When I feel sleepy while studying, I ask her to play energetic music.However, I've noticed something. Sometimes I ask Xiao Ai questions I could figure out myself if I thought harder. My dad says, "AI should be your tool, not your brain." He's right.AI makes life easier, but we should use it wisely and never stop thinking for ourselves.
预测2：AI好坏的辩论
题目：人工智能的发展引发了人们的讨论。有人认为AI让生活更便利，有人担心AI会带来一些问题（如让人变懒、隐私泄露等）。你如何看待AI？请以"My Opinion on AI"为题，写一篇短文，表明你的观点并说明理由。要求：
观点明确；
至少给出两个理由；
词数80左右。
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文：My Opinion on AIIn my opinion, AI is like a knife—it can be useful or dangerous, depending on how we use it.On the one hand, AI brings us many benefits. It helps doctors find diseases earlier. It makes our smartphones smarter. When I'm lost, my map app (which uses AI) helps me find the way. These are good things.On the other hand, AI does have problems. Some people worry about privacy. Our smart devices collect so much information about us. Also, I've seen classmates use AI to write their essays without thinking at all. That's not learning—it's cheating.I believe the key is balance. We should enjoy the convenience AI brings, but never forget to think for ourselves. We should use AI as a helper, not a replacement for our own minds. If we do that, AI will make our lives better.
预测3：发明对生活的改变

明确你所选的发明；
结合生活实例说明它的影响；
词数80-100。
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文：The Most Important Invention in My EyesIf you ask me which invention changed our lives the most, I would say—the Internet.Before the Internet, people had to go to libraries to find information. My mom told me when she was a student, she spent hours looking for books just to write a simple report. Now, I can find anything in seconds. When I'm curious about how rainbows form or why the sky is blue, I just type my question and get answers immediately.The Internet also connects people. My cousin studies in Australia. Without the Internet, we could only write letters and wait weeks for replies. Now we video chat every weekend. I can see his face and hear his voice clearly, even though he's thousands of miles away.Of course, the Internet has problems too. Sometimes I spend too much time watching videos. But overall, I can't imagine life without it. It has made learning easier, communication faster, and the world smaller.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文：A Day with a Robot in My Home"Good morning, Xiaoxiao! It's 7 o'clock. Today's weather is sunny." My robot, whom I call Robo, wakes me up with a gentle voice.When I go to the kitchen, breakfast is already on the table. Robo knows I like milk warm and eggs just slightly cooked. "Did you sleep well?" it asks while cleaning the dishes. I nod and hurry to get my schoolbag ready."Oh no, my math homework!" I forgot to finish it. But Robo has already checked my bag. "Don't worry," it says. "I put your homework in the front pocket. Have a nice day at school!"After school, Robo helps me with homework. When I'm stuck on a math problem, it explains step by step—patiently, never getting tired. Later, it plays chess with me and even lets me win sometimes.At night, as Robo reads me a bedtime story, I think: life is so much easier with a robot. But the best part is, Robo isn't just helpful—it feels like family. I wonder if robots feel the same way about us.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文：How I've ChangedThree years ago, I walked into this school as a shy girl who was afraid to speak in class. Now, looking back, I can see how much I've changed.The biggest change is in my personality. In Grade 7, I never raised my hand even when I knew the answer. My face would turn red if the teacher called on me. But last year, something changed. Our English teacher asked me to be the group leader for a class project. I had to speak in front of the class. I was so nervous, but I did it. And it wasn't that bad! Now I'm not afraid to share my ideas anymore.I've also changed in my studies. I used to study only before exams and forget everything afterward. Now I study a little every day. It's less stressful, and I actually remember what I learn.These changes didn't happen overnight. They came slowly, through small steps and sometimes failures. But now I understand: growing up isn't about becoming a different person. It's about becoming more of who you really are.
预测2：克服困难的经历
题目：每个人的成长过程中都会遇到困难。请你以"A Difficulty I Overcame"为题，写一篇短文，分享你克服困难的一次经历。内容包括：你遇到了什么困难，你是如何克服的，以及你从中学到了什么。要求：
叙述完整，条理清晰；
写出真实感受；
词数80-100。
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文：A Difficulty I OvercameLast year, I faced a difficulty that seemed impossible at first—learning to ride a bike. I was already 14, and all my friends could ride. I felt embarrassed every time they went cycling without me.The first time I tried, I fell after just three seconds. My knee was bleeding, and I wanted to give up. But my dad said, "Nobody learns without falling. Get up and try again."So I did. Day after day, I practiced in the park near my home. My dad ran behind me, holding the seat. I fell many times. My arms and legs were covered with bruises. But each time, I got on the bike again.Then one afternoon, something amazing happened. I was riding, and suddenly I realized—my dad wasn't holding the seat anymore. I was riding on my own! The wind in my face felt wonderful. I turned around and saw my dad smiling and clapping.That day taught me something important: difficulties are just challenges waiting to be overcome. The falls hurt, but they made me stronger. Now whenever I face something hard, I remember that feeling of riding freely, and I know I can do it.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文：The Power of TeamworkLast month, our class took part in the school's drama competition. None of us had acted before, but we decided to give it a try.At first, it was a mess. Everyone wanted to be the leader. We argued about which story to choose. We wasted three days fighting instead of practicing. Finally, our teacher said, "A team isn't a group of leaders. It's a group of people playing different roles."That changed everything. We discovered our strengths: Lily could write, so she became the scriptwriter. Tom was funny, so he played the clown. I'm good at remembering lines, so I helped others practice. Everyone had a job.The practices were hard. We made mistakes, forgot lines, and laughed at ourselves. But we kept going. On the night of the competition, we were nervous but excited. When we finished our performance, the applause was unforgettable. We didn't win first prize, but we won something better—the feeling of creating something together.I learned that teamwork means trusting others and doing your part. Alone we can do little, but together we can do amazing things.
预测4：成功的经历与感悟
题目：成功不一定是取得第一名，也可以是完成一件对自己有挑战的事情。请你以"A Small Success"为题，写一篇短文，分享你一次小小的成功经历，以及这次成功带给你的感悟。要求：
描述你做了什么、遇到了什么困难；
说明你成功后的心情和感悟；
词数80左右。
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考范文：A Small SuccessFor me, success isn't always about winning. Sometimes it's about doing something you never thought you could do.Last summer, I decided to cook a meal for my family by myself. I chose to make tomato and egg noodles—a simple dish. But for someone who had only ever made instant noodles, it was a big challenge.The trouble started right away. When I cut the tomatoes, they slipped and I almost cut my finger. The oil in the pan jumped and burned my arm. The eggs stuck to the pan. I wanted to give up and order takeout.But I thought about my mom, who cooks for us every day without complaining. I took a deep breath and kept going. I stirred the eggs carefully. I added the tomatoes. I smelled something good—it was actually working!When I put the bowls on the table, my family looked surprised. My little brother took a bite and said, "This is better than Mom's!" We all laughed.That meal wasn't perfect. The eggs were a little burnt, and the soup was too salty. But seeing my family enjoy something I made with my own hands—that felt like success. I learned that success isn't about being perfect. It's about trying, failing, trying again, and finally making something happen.
