【题目】

Chess is called the game of kings. People have been playing it for over 500 years. Chess comes from an even older game from India. The chess we play today is from Europe.

Chess is a two-player game. One player uses the white pieces. The other uses the black pieces. Each piece moves in a special way. One piece is called the king. Each player has one. The players take turns moving their pieces. If a player lands on a piece, he or she takes it. The game ends when a player loses his or her king. There are a few more rules, but those are the basics(基本规则).

Some people think that chess is more than a game. They think that it makes the mind stronger. Good chess players use their brains. They take their time. They think about what will happen next. These skills are useful in life and in chess. Chess is quite like an exercise for the mind.

You don’t always have lots of time to think when playing chess. There is a type of chess with short time limits (限制). It’s called blitz chess. In blitz chess, each player gets ten minutes to use for the whole game. Your clock runs during your turn. You hit the time clock after your move. This stops your clock. It also starts the other player’s clock. If you run out of time, you lose.

Chess is not just for people. Computers have been playing chess since the 1970s. At first they did not play well. They made mistakes. As time went on they grew stronger. In 1997, a computer beat the best player in the world for the first time. It was a computer called Deep Blue. Deep Blue was big. It took up a whole room. By 2006 a cell phone could beat the best players in the world. Chess surely has come a long way.

Comments

Well done, Javier, on all your hard work this term. You are always active in speaking activities, and this is great. I always enjoy reading your writing too, you have very good ideas. You can see from your marks that reading is not a problem for you.

Sometimes you still make small grammar mistakes, and I think you can improve your vocabulary. I suggest you should review(复习) many of the language points we studied this term.

The area you need to work on the most is listening. I know this s difficult for you. I recommend more practice at home. Listen to English TV shows and radio as much as possible.

Have a nice holiday, and good luck for next term!

I have always wanted to write. From the day I first started reading I became _________. Harry Potter came out when I was a child. And I found one that I couldn’t _________.

The problem is that I am not a very good _________. Everywhere I go I have my little black book. It has no marks on it and it looks very common. _________, my book is my little book of dreams. It started as somewhere to write down all of the _________ experience I have had before or when an idea came popped into my head in a dream. They would all get written into my little book.

Now I bring it everywhere with me. It is more _________ to me than my mobile phone or my wallet. It is full of crazy thoughts or what the world is like. The world, _________, is full of strange things and incredible (难以置信的) people. Every day has something special and unexpected just waiting to be _________ a little bit further down the road.

My book is amazing because it lets me catch all of those tiny things and catch them before they disappear. _________ it has the beginning of a fantasy novel (魔幻故事), the ending of a love play, and poetry I have written in different languages. I never thought I would ever write poems in French! It is crazy!

For me, this book is more than just a lot of __________ on paper. It is one million different possible stories, in thousands of different worlds and made up of a hundred different thoughts. It is indeed my special book.
