Unit 18 Put them away, please! Practice
Article One: The Importance of Organization
In our daily lives, we are constantly surrounded by objects and belongings. From clothes and shoes to books and toys, our possessions can quickly accumulate and clutter our living spaces. It is essential to establish and maintain a sense of organization to ensure a clean and tidy environment. In this article, we will explore the importance of putting our belongings away and the benefits it brings.
Firstly, keeping our belongings organized saves us time and effort. When everything has a designated place, we can easily find what we need without wasting precious minutes searching for it. Imagine a situation where you are running late for work, and you cannot find your car keys. The frustration and stress caused by this can be avoided simply by putting the keys in a designated spot every time you come home. By establishing a system of organization, we can streamline our daily routines and reduce unnecessary stress.
Secondly, a tidy living space contributes to a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere. Clutter and mess can create a sense of chaos and unease, making it difficult for us to relax and unwind. On the other hand, a well-organized home promotes a sense of tranquility and order. When our belongings are neatly arranged and put away, we can fully enjoy our living spaces and feel more at ease. Additionally, an organized environment allows for better focus and productivity, as there are fewer distractions to hinder our concentration.
Furthermore, putting our belongings away helps to extend their lifespan. When items are left scattered and neglected, they are more prone to damage and deterioration. For example, leaving shoes lying around can cause them to become misshapen or scuffed. By storing them properly, we can protect our belongings and ensure that they last longer. This not only helps us save money in the long run but also encourages a sustainable lifestyle by reducing waste.
In conclusion, the practice of putting our belongings away is vital for maintaining a clean, organized, and harmonious living environment. By establishing systems of organization, we can save time, reduce stress, and create a sense of peace in our daily lives. Additionally, proper storage of our belongings helps to prolong their lifespan, contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle. So, let us make it a habit to put our things away, please!
Article Two: Instilling Good Habits in Children
Unit 18 reminds us of the importance of putting our belongings away. While this practice is essential for individuals of all ages, it is particularly crucial to instill this habit in children. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of teaching children to put their belongings away and some strategies for doing so effectively.
Firstly, teaching children to put their belongings away helps to develop their sense of responsibility and accountability. When children are responsible for their possessions, they learn the importance of taking care of their things and valuing what they have. By assigning them the task of organizing their toys, clothes, and books, we teach them to be accountable for their belongings and develop a sense of ownership.
Secondly, instilling the habit of putting things away teaches children valuable organizational skills. Learning to categorize and arrange their belongings helps them develop logical thinking and problem-solving abilities. These skills will benefit them in various aspects of life, from schoolwork to managing their time and tasks effectively. By teaching children these skills at an early age, we lay a foundation for their future success.
Furthermore, teaching children to put their belongings away promotes a clean and organized living environment. When children learn to tidy up after themselves, it reduces the burden on parents and caregivers. Moreover, it instills in them the importance of cleanliness and hygiene. By maintaining a clean and organized space, children can enjoy their living environment more fully and feel a sense of pride in their surroundings.
To effectively teach children to put their belongings away, it is crucial to make it a fun and engaging experience. Creating a designated spot for each item and using labels or pictures can make it easier for children to understand and follow. Additionally, setting a good example by consistently putting our own belongings away reinforces the importance of the habit. Praise and rewards can also be used to motivate children and make the activity more enjoyable.
In conclusion, teaching children to put their belongings away is a valuable lesson that instills responsibility, organizational skills, and cleanliness. By doing so, we set them up for success in various aspects of life and create a harmonious living environment. By making the process fun and engaging, we can make it a habit that they will carry with them into adulthood. So, let us teach our children to put their things away, please!

one of+名词的复数形式或复数意义的代词表示其中之一,接名词时,该名词前一般有定冠词the或物主代词,以表示某一特定范围。one of结构作主语时,one是主语,而不是of后面的名词或代词,所以当谓语是一般现在时态时应用单数第三人称形式,与one一致。

1.Could you help me, please? My kite is on that tree.

【分析归纳】
英语中在树上有两中表达法:当表示树上有不属于树本身的人或物时用in the tree;当要表示树上长着的叶子、花朵、果实等等时常用on the tree。因此第一句中的on that tree应改为in that tree,第二句中的in that tree应改为on that tree。
介词in后面接一个表示衣服类的名词,表示穿着。介词in后面也可以接一个表示颜色的词,来表示穿着某种颜色的衣服。如:
