仁爱版八年级下册英语句子

八年级下册英语重点句子 My father and mother want to invite your parents to go to the movies. My mom will prepare some delicious food for us. Please say thanks to your mom. Why all the smiling faces I went to buy a ticket, but there was none left. I feel disappointed. He is very popular with the poor. He is cruel to the poor, so he is unpopular with the people. He seems a little unhappy. They are proud of their player. He is pleased with the new bike. Michael isn’t able to come. He has a temperature. I’m sure Mr. Lee will be surprised! It is a story about a young woman living in Austria. The father was lonely and often became angry because of the noisy children. Maria taught the children to sing lively songs and perform short, funny plays to cheer them up. The father was almost mad at first, but the smiling faces of his children pleased him and made him happy again. What seems to be the problem She is very strict with herself. She feels very lonely because she has no friends to talk with. Thank you for telling me. I send this e-card to cheer you up. You can work harder and do better next time. I’m feeling really sad because I failed the English exam. Why don’t you talk to someone when you feel sad She always tells me jokes and makes me laugh. She seems to like me. They may have unhappy feelings after some bad experiences. Would you please talk about this problem and give your suggestions It’s normal to feel sad when something bad happens to us. It’s all right to cry. How time flies! I couldn’t sleep as well as usual. I was not used to everything here. With the help of my teachers and classmates, I’m getting used to the life here. I’m not afraid to talk with others now. I live as happily as before. Please give my best wishes to your parents. If you don’t know how to deal with these problems, you may learn something from Jeff. Jeff almost went mad when his elder brother was killed in a car accident. He refused to play soccer or go to the movies with his friends. He just sat in his bedroom and didn’t talk with anybody. Even though it was an accident, He was quite angry with the driver. Jeff began to understand it was useless to be angry. Now he still misses his brother, but he doesn’t hate the driver any longer. He no longer stays in his room by himself. It makes me feel nervous. I think I’m dying. Calm down and listen to me. I hate to go to the hospital. I’m afraid of taking bitter medicine. These days I feel very bored and lonely at home. I missed a lot of lessons. I’m worried about the test at the end of the month. We can take turns to help you with your lessons. That’s very nice of you. He may ask one of our classmates to give the speech instead of you. I’m afraid we have to go now. We should do something to cheer him up again. Illness usually makes us sad, worried and frightened. Many things can affect our feelings. If we can’t get along well with our schoolmates, we may feel upset and unhappy. If we are always in a bad mood, it will be bad for our health. She should try to smile at life. Let’s give Michael a surprise. I can’t get together with my family. I feel very lonely, and my eyes fill with tears. It’s too noisy for me to fall asleep. I have some exciting news to tell you. It will take us a few days to get there by bike. You two find out the cost to go by train. Your task is to find out the cost by bus. I’d love to go by airplane. I’ll ask the airline over the phone. The train leaves at 11:45 a.m. and arrives at Taishan Railway Station at 6:44 . May I have your name and telephone number, please I want to make a room reservation. Glad to receive your postcard. While you were enjoying your trip, I was busy preparing for my exams. Now I’m on vacation. Would you like to come to China for your vacation It would be great fun. I’m looking forward to meeting him. Would you help me make a plan to explore Beijing Could you tell me something about the Ming Tombs On both sides of the way, there are some stone animals and stone officials. It’s about two and a half hours by bike. After they rode their bikes for two hours and a half, they arrived at the Ming Tombs. They walked through the passage into Dingling and were surprised at the wonders. While the crowd were pushing him in all directions, someone stepped on Darren’s toes. He noticed his friends were both out of sight. He was too frightened to know what to do. Slowly he walked toward a huge rock. He didn’t raise his head until someone called him. As soon as the three boys saw each other, they all jumped up and down happily. You’ll get used to it soon I think traffic in Beijing is crazy. I feel a little more confident. If people obey the traffic rules, there will be fewer accidents. Now I like riding my bike around the city more than before. Cycling can help us save energy and it doesn’t cause air pollution. It’s easy to park bikes. A young man was riding his bicycle very fast while listening to an MP3. Meters away, there was a sharp turn to left. The young man didn’t slow down. Suddenly a truck came from the opposite direction. To avoid hitting the truck, the young man ran into the wall and hurt his arm badly. The truck driver rushed to him, called the 122 hotline and took him to the hospital. If we ride at night, we should have lights on the bicycle or wear light-colored clothes. We should also learn more about the traffic rules. If we break the traffic rules, we may get a fine and even be in danger. He is famous for his achievements and courage in cycling. By 1996, he was one of the top cyclists in the world. His path to success wasn’t smooth. Doctors told him that he had cancer. In his life, Lance faced it head-on. He went on winning the Tour de France from 2000 till 2004. It seems impossible to beat his seven-time record.
