With the development of science， every part of our life is brand-new， even our school is changing. Some of new inventions and products are very helpful for students and teachers. Which of them will schools use？ No one is sure， but here are some possible developments.

There will be robots in the schools of tomorrow. Some people think that these robots will help students with their homework. The robots will have special software from the school. They will know what the students are studying and they can also help them solve problems easily.

Many teachers do not believe there will be traditional classes or classrooms. Each student in a class might study different materials at the same time. Classrooms might be in open areas and use large LCD screens.

Many people believe schools will use less paper and fewer books. In the future， students may only need to bring an e-book to school. In fact， some schools are already doing this. The e-book will store all their school materials and students can write notes and answers on the screen instead of on the books or notebooks. Plus they can search for information on the Internet. Most people think students will be happy to have lighter schoolbags.

Teachers will give students homework online in the future. This can help parents follow their kids progress closely. They can check their kids homework and marks through the Internet. The system will also allow students to see teaching videos and notes online. Some people wonder if students will even need to go to schools any more.

Do you believe they will come true？

Reading 2

When I was a student， there were endless classes and examinations every day. At that time， I always felt that going to school was too painful. It would be great if I could get out to do social work as soon as possible， so that I could make money and buy what I wanted.

But it wasnt until I graduated from junior high school and went to work for two months that I realized that the work life was so boring and painful. I did similar work every day. I got up at dawn to go to work， and went home to eat and sleep when it got dark， day after day.

After this work， I found that the time in school was my happiest time. The pressure of study is great， but I am very happy. Every day， I can listen to the teachers interesting lessons together with my classmates. After class， we will chat and play together. We dont have to worry about having no money every day， because our daily life is settled by our parents. This kind of school life is really happy.

綜合點評

升格后的作文主題明確，結構清晰。第一段引入主題 “my school life”，第二、三、四段從學習及老師、交友、活動等方面有詳有略地具體描寫校園生活。小作者運用合理的連接詞（also）、句（Whats more）自然且有邏輯地串聯(lián)起校園生活的幾個方面，并通過“l(fā)ove， interesting， never feel bored， shout and jump excitedly， do better next time， feel quite lucky， harmonious， enjoy， wonderful”等詞語的變化，將自己對校園生活的感受這條“暗線”準確、簡練地呈現(xiàn)在讀者面前。
