My Creative English Homework
Doing English homework helps us to practice and use what we've learned in class. Doing creative homework makes us more interested in English.
Once our teacher asked us to write a letter to a foreigner. We were told to introduce the Spring Festival in the letter. It not only helped me improve my written skills but also provided a good chance to spread Chinese traditional culture.
In my opinion, it's also a good choice to draw mind maps. It helps us to have a better understanding of the lessons. Besides, we can learn to sing English songs, since most of us love singing. In this way, our English as well as hobbies develops.
I hope we'll have more creative English homework in the future.

How can we become good language learners?
What makes a good language learner? There are some things that good language learners do and some things they don't do.
First, don't be afraid of making mistakes. People often get things wrong. Good language learners notice their mistakes and learn from them. Then, do group activities. People use language to communicate with other people. Also, be sure to use a dictionary. Good language learners often use dictionaries to check the meaning of words they don't know. What's more? Good language learners have fun with the language. Watch a film, listen to songs, play video games or read a book. At last, think in the language you're learning outside the classroom.

【范文】
Possible version 1
People are paying more and more attention to staying healthy. Ways such as doing exercise, eating healthy food etc. help a lot. But I think doing exercise is more important
For me, I used to sit at the desk for too long and seldom go outside doing some sports As a result, I put on 5 kilos just in a year and I felt tired easily. But when I tried to take up running after school, I began to feel energetic and healthier.
Since then, I have kept the habit of taking exercise. And I find it does good to both the mind and the body.
Possible version 2
People may have different ways to keep healthy, such as doing exercise, eating healthy food, etc. I think eating healthily is more important.
At school, we have sports time every day, so I think we've got enough exercise. However, we usually have lunch hurriedly at school. So eating healthily at home is important for us. Luckily, we can enjoy delicious and healthy food cooked by our parents which also makes us feel good. As for me, I often make some vegetable salad for breakfast or even cook something I like at weekends.
I think I will eat healthily to stay strong and happy.
