Good morning, everyone! Nice to meet all of you here! Welcome to Class XX, welcome to XX Middle School!

　　Do you like your new school? Is it big? Is it beautiful? Today you are proud of XX Senior Middle School. I believe tomorrow XX Middle School will be proud of you! Have you adapted to the new environment, and have you make some new friends here? Maybe some of you miss your old friends, miss your former teachers, or maybe some of you are homesick, right? It's quite normal, but you should adapt to the new environment as soon as possible. This is a place where you will have studied for 3 years. Is it a long time? As far as I'm concerned, it's quite short. But it's one of the most important periods in your life. So seize the day, seize the hour. Our class is like a big and warm family, everyone is friendly here. If you have some problems, you can ask your classmates or your teachers for help.

　　Now, let me introduce myself briefly. My name is XX, the new English teacher of this class. If you like you can call me Ms XX. As you can see, I'm young, right? I graduated from the university and started to work in 2006 and up to now, I have been teaching for seven years. I have some experience in teaching and managing a class. I got along well with the Ss before and I believe that we will also get along well and I sincerely hope we can be good friends.

　　In my spare time, I have many interests, such as reading, surfing the internet, travelling, etc. Travelling is my favorite hobby, it can make me relax and broaden my horizon.

　　For my work, I'll try my best to be a good teacher. I always believe nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it.

　　Now, let's talk about English. Do you like English? How is your English? I hope all of you are good at English, your English is good, great, excellent, learning English is interesting, easy, just a piece of cake.

　　Learning English is China's most sad behavior, but we have to learn it. There are many reasons for us to learn English well. First, English is an international language and it is the most widely used language in the world, according to the statistics, every one in ten people speak English. It has been said that over 75% of the word's TV programs and 80% of the information on the internet use English. With the development of our country, more and more foreigners come to China and more and more Chinese are going abroad. The communication of foreigners and us needs the language tool--English.

　　Secondly, English is one of the most important subjects at school or the university. If you want to get good marks and want to enter a good university in three years, you must learn it well.

　　Thirdly, your influence English can help you get a better job in the future, if you can learn English well, you will have more chances to succeed.

　　Fourthly, English has been used everywhere in our daily life. For example,你英語如果能考150分（學生笑）, 那你就太酷（cool）了，I'll take you to KFC，吃漢堡包（hamburger）, 喝咖啡（coffee）可樂（cola）, 坐巴士（bus）去打高爾夫（golf）保齡球（bowling）. 你喜歡天天向上這種脫口秀（talk show）還是中國好聲音PK賽又或者是NBA？這些節目都有很多忠實的粉絲(fans)。現在是E時代，你有E-mail嗎？有MP3，P4,P5，嗎？有Ipad嗎？如果這些，你不知道，你就out了！ As you can see, English is very useful.

　　The advantage of learning English is far more than what have been mentioned.

　　But for me, we learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness, but also because of our love for it. If you want to be loved, you should learn to love others. So I believe as you love English every day, it will love you too.

　　It's necessary for us to learn English. But how should we learn it well? Everyone learns English in different ways. Here I have some suggestions for you. Firstly, as the saying goes, interest is the best teacher. If you are interested in English, you'll learn better. Some students think it's not easy. So secondly, you should have confidence. Impossible means I am possible. Thirdly, the best way of improving your English is to improve your four skills-Listening, speaking, reading and writing. We should practice them every day. 1. Listen to me carefully in the English class. Listening to tapes or radio is also a good way. 2. You should be active in the morning reading class. Speak as loudly as possible, as clearly as possible. 3. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. It's natural to make mistakes when you learn something new. Put your face in your pocket. 4. The best way of improving your English is reciting! 背誦的五大秘訣:A.天天背B.一定要跟著錄音背C.背熟了還要背D.用零碎的時間瘋狂背E.抄寫下來,隨身攜帶背. Learning English requires long time. As the famous saying goes, Rome wasn't built in one day. If one wants to master English well, spending time is essential.

　　Now, let's talk about the differences of English between senior middle school and junior middle school.
