Ⅲ 初中英語演講作文3篇,不要太長的
英語寫作要求有一定量的詞彙,沒有詞彙就好比巧婦無米難以下廚。寫作時可能出現要寫的詞記不起來、要用的詞拿不準、尤其是遇到同義詞、更不知用哪一個好、或詞性沒記住,結果亂用……. 這都說明平時對單詞的記憶不夠牢固,理解不清。這就要求我們在記單詞的時候多花點力氣,要從單詞的音、形、義入手,最好不要單獨記憶單詞,這樣容易遺忘,要把它放在句子或文章中一起記憶,這樣可把握單詞的詞義、用法、搭配等詞彙特點。除了課本上的詞彙必須掌握外,還要進行廣泛的課外閱讀,來增加詞彙。
二、掌握語法
英語中雖有很多句子與漢語相似或相同,但語法與漢語不盡相同,它有自己的基本句型固定搭配、固定短語等。要想寫好作文,必須學好語法。英語中有五種基本句型結構,幾乎所有的英語句型都是五種句型的擴大、延伸或變化,因此,應牢記這五種基本句型,並不斷地練習運用。
1. S +V
2. S+V+O
3. S+V+O+O
4. S+V+P
5. S+V+O+C
這五種句型雖能表達一定的意思,但無法比較自由地表達思想,因此還需對學生進一步進行擴句訓練,在課堂上充分發揮學生的想像力,進行擴句練習。其次,要加強句型教學,要對一些句子進行分析,增強他們利用各種句子進行一意多種表達的訓練。再次,充分利用新教材中「鞏固語言練習」對學生進行基本語感的訓練。
三、背誦範文
古人說:「熟讀唐詩三百首,不會做詩也會吟」。背誦範文是中國人學習語言的傳統方法,它不但可以加強記憶、積累語言材料,而且可以定型語式句式,語套模式和行文模式,將背誦用於英語學習更是見效。因為一種語言的具體句子和語篇是無限的,而其結構模式則是有限的。掌握一個結構模式或行文模式就意味著具有生成無數語氣和語篇的能力。語言模式的作用類似於數學公式,非常重要。而經典的語言模式則存在於範文之中,所以要熟讀背誦。
四、以說促寫
說話是作文的先導,是作文的起步。俗話說:「只有出口成章,才能下筆成文」。在教學過程中,教師可有意識地讓學生用詞造句,由詞生文練習。由易到難,循序漸進地讓學生說。
可以把現實生活搬進課堂,模擬生活中的各種人物、情景,讓學生在真情實感的角色扮演中
進行口語交際。讓學生把生活中的人物通過語言、動作、心理活動表演出來,讓學生自由發揮,暢所欲言。也可以通過演講培養口頭作文能力,並引導學生把「說」和「寫」聯系起來,這樣說說寫寫,寫寫說說,不僅提高了口語表達能力,而且通過說話過程中對口頭語言的敘述,提高了書面語言表達能力,使學生寫作能做到中心明確,條理清楚。
五、勤於動筆
適當地進行寫作練習是不可缺少的,如果光大談寫作,而從不去動筆寫,是寫不出好作文的,所謂的熟能生巧就是說的這一點。可以讓學生採用寫日記的方法來提高自己的表達能力,也可以就不同的題材,自擬題目來寫或者就某篇課文來擴寫、縮寫、改寫等,這些都可以用來練練手筆。也可以要求學生隨讀、隨學、隨寫,讀有所得,學以致用。
六、寫作步驟
1. 審題
在動筆之前,必須認真審題,分析命題意圖。根據題目確定文章體裁,考慮文章內容,把與題目有關的材料分析,整理加以取捨。對屬於同一類材料的擬出標題,作文審題在很大程度上關繫到整篇文章的成敗。有的考生唯恐時間不夠,急於成文,不認真審題,結果寫出的文章不是離題太遠,與原命題大相徑庭,就是抓不住重點,雜亂無章,缺乏邏輯性與關聯。
2. 列題綱
審明了題義,了解了命題的意圖,接下來就是列提綱。提綱有兩種形式,即標題式和句式。標題式提綱就是用短語和片語列出文章的層次和段落以及各層次、各段落的大致順序。這種提綱的特點是簡潔、清楚。句式提綱是用完整的句子列出的提綱,這種提綱提供了更加詳盡的輪廓。列提綱時,應防止兩種形式的混用,句式提綱是句子,而標題式提綱是名詞片語。列提綱時要盡量使用平行結構,編號要統一。有了提綱,文章在材料安排上才會層次分明,整體性強。
3. 起草稿
審明了題意,列出了提綱,下一步就是應該分段寫作。每段應該只有一個中心,段落的結構要完整。自然段多以該段的主題句開頭、中間展開說明和敘述,末句常是結論或內容的歸納。在推展主題目時,要充分利用學到的寫句子、寫段落的技巧,注意句與句、段與段的銜接和過渡。注意段落的完整性和連貫性。為了使文章緊湊,全文最好一氣呵成。
4. 修改
修改是寫好文章必不可少的一環。修改是指初稿完成後對文章從內容,形式到語言等進行加工提高,通過修改使文章達到主題明確,內容翔實、結構嚴謹,語法正確,無拼寫和標點錯誤。
5. 校閱
修改後的文章要認真抄寫一遍。謄寫時要注意:標題寫在第一行的中央,除介詞,連詞、冠詞外,標題中每一個實詞都應大寫。標題除了疑問句或感嘆句外,標題不加標點,即使是一個完整的句子,也不加句號;注意段落首縮進3-4個字母;書寫要工整,規范,卷面要整潔,詞與詞之間要有2-3個字母的間隔 ;抄寫完之後,一定要檢查一遍。校閱要逐字逐段進行,注意檢查語法錯誤,拼寫錯誤、標點和大小寫等方面的錯誤。花兩分鍾檢查一遍,往往能增強文章的效果、提高考試成績。
作文不理想的原因很多,總的看來主要有以下幾個方面的問題:
第一、英語底子太薄。底子太薄主要表現為對語法知識掌握不牢及對基本詞彙記憶不清。它包括定冠詞和不定冠詞的濫用,主謂不一致,單復數搞不清楚(例如:a people等),時態和語態混亂及詞語的各種形式掌握不牢。有的學生文章寫得很長,字跡也很工整,但是讀完之後只覺得思路紊亂,支離破碎,沒有一個完整的句子,所以也就只能得兩三分以慰勞苦。
第二、詞彙量太小,且對已學詞彙記憶不清。除了底子太薄這個歷史原因之外,學生詞彙量太小也是一個不容忽視的原因。有的學生漢語功底很好,用漢語作文,他們就會思如泉湧,下筆千言,但是一到用英語作文就好像被縛住了手腳,不知如何下手。比如99年1月的作文,題目是」Don't Hesitate to Say No」, 大部分學生能夠領會題意並能按給出的漢語提綱作文,但有的學生連Hesitate是什麼意思都不知道,更不用說在此基礎上再作發揮了。另外有的學生雖然對題目及要求非常清楚,但是因為自己所掌握的詞彙所限,無法用一些合適的詞來表達自己的思想,於是只有繞著題目翻來覆去亂說一氣,再加上這次出的作文提綱就象一道繞口令:
1、 別人請求幫助時,在什麼情況下我們會說「不」;
2、 為什麼有些人在該說「不」的時候不說「不」;
3、 該說「不」時不說「不」的壞處。
所以在說過一個又一個的」No」再加幾個」Yes」之後,閱卷老師也給搞得雲里霧里,頭腦發脹,最後也只得酌情給個兩三分罷了。還有的一寫到紙上就是錯字別字滿篇,有些詞彙的用法也走了樣。其中最典型的就是for example寫成example for , for instance寫成for a instance, illegal 寫成unlegle, 而such as, in spite of 等許多短語則是亂用一氣。詞彙的有限導致許多學生有口難言,欲說不能,對他們來說,用英語作文實在是一件很頭疼的事情。
第三、缺乏思想,深度不夠。99年1月的考試中很大一部分學生不能得高分還有一個重要的原因,就是他們的作文缺乏思想,深度不夠。很多學生雖然本科畢業,但是他們在作文當中所表現出的智力水平與閱歷似乎只相當於一個高中生。寫出的文章著眼點低,視野狹窄。作為學生,作文著眼於學生之間的關系,反映學生之間的幫忙,這並不為過,但是這種幫忙不能僅僅限於在考試當中的幫忙,而且對這種幫忙都是一句話 」Don't hesitate to say 'No'」。更有相當一部分學生在文章中寫幫忙就是這一次考試當中的幫忙。與在校考生比較起來,社會考生應該多了許多社會閱歷,也多了一些見解,但是舉出來的例子也是范圍太窄,大多是講老闆或領導讓乾的事只能答 」Yes」而不能回答 」No」。其實除了這些,可舉的例子很多,關鍵是要抓住實質。
第四、缺乏應試技巧。缺乏應試技巧,主要表現為有些學生在篇首或篇尾有喊口號傾向(如Dear Friends, let's not hesitate to say」No」),或畫蛇添足,本來文章該結束了卻偏要羅羅嗦嗦再來兩句多餘的話;另外一些學生字數把握不準,不是寫得太短就是寫得太長,寫得太短的會因為字數不夠而失分,太長的又因為閱卷老師任務繁重,時間窘迫,不能因為一篇文章亂了整個閱卷節奏。還有一些學生的筆跡(尤其是用純藍墨水鋼筆和出水太淺的圓珠筆寫的),讓閱卷老師怎麼也看不清楚。
以上是英語考試中常見的幾個問題,更是我們平時英語作文當中應該注意的幾個方面。要寫好一篇英語文章,關鍵要在平時下功夫,打好牢固的基礎,但是如果這一功夫在使用的時候不講技巧,不但不能事半功倍地發揮出最高技巧,取得最佳成績,甚至可能出現與實際水平相去甚遠的低成績。因此,上面講到的四個問題應該是相輔相成,缺一不可的,做到了這幾點,寫出一篇好的英語作文應該是不難的。
知道原因了就知道怎麼提高英語作文水平了,希望對你有幫助!
Ⅳ 給三篇不同的英文作文,不超過三分鍾,題目自由,最好是中學程度

My Dream 英語作文
When I was a naughty boy, may be because of the influence of the film."Xiao Bing Zhang Ga",my dream was to be a soldier just like Zhang Ga. I thought if I was a soldier, I should be able to swim, dive and climb trees as he did. It seemed to be very wonderful. So I began to learn swimming, diving and climbing trees. I practiced every day and finally I could do them well. But when I entered junior high school and had the military training. I suddenly found that being a soldier was very difficult and I wasn』 strong enough to bear it . I had to give my dream up.
But I wasn』t discouraged, and I had new aim, which was to be a postman, or rather to be a newspaper boy. As a newspaper boy. I could speed along streets on a bike and throw newspapers onto every porch. That』s also very cool. So I started learning to ride a bicycle. After the everyday practice, I could go very fast by bicycle. But to my disappointment, the job which I wanted only existed in western counties not in China, because there was no porch in China. And Chinese postmen had to stuff very thick newspapers into very small mailboxes from very narrow entrances. The job was far from what I had expected. So once again my dream fell through.
Perhaps you have had the same experience as I and most of your dreams haven』t come true yet. But I think it doesn』t matter, because if you have a dream, you』ll make many efforts to realize it. This course is really important. If I hadn』t dreamt of being a soldier or a newspaper boy. I wouldn』t have learned to swim, to dive, to climb trees or to ride a bicycle. Even if our dream can』t come true, you』ll learn much from the efforts you have made. So what I want to tell us is that dream helps us to grow up and teaches us how to control our lives . It is dream that gives us power and makes our lives colorful
Part-time job
It's been a month that the summer vacation went by. We have a long holiday, which is longer than the others. Most of us were plan to find a part-time job in order to kill the boring time while we got the news. So it was the same with me, of coz. I've been itching to take the part-time job when I was in the junior high school, more for getting some value experiences than for money.
Because lots of my friends have works experiences and have a more independent life. They are willing to share their interesting work experiences with me. In the work life, they met many difficulties; they would try to do something on their own. Different kinds of setbacks made them more strong and go easy on everything afterward. I felt somehow ashamed of myself ,I like to be independent, but it is difficult for me. I live under my parents' wings, then hide mine. My parents arrange everything for me,let me denpend on them for food and clothing.I know I can't go on like this. If I couldn't get rid of the protect from them ,I can't be independent.Their love will cut my wings.For this reason,I took the part-time job together with my friends.Our work was demanding, and if our speed was slowly ,we couldn't make much money.Sometimeswe felt disappointed,and made much complaints,even had the thoughts of coming back.But we kept on it.In the work life,we had something fun,something that made us felt sad.I almost forgot. There was a warm-hearted old man,he was a factory security. He took good care of us.And that made us felt happy in the other city.We were very gratefull to him. What a nice old man!Unfortunately,
I got a bad headache and a high temperature when I was planning to go back.That was because the roasting weather and the hard work.Thanks to my friends ,they looked after me ,as if my mother was around.Because of that ,I deeply felt the important of friendship . I just wanted to say,thank you!
When I took the first salary of my life,I knew it's very difficult to make money. All in all,my first work life was over,I learned lots of things. That's meaningful.
端午節英語作文 第二篇
Duanwu Festival (端午節, Duānwū Jié) is a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar. It is also known as the Double Fifth.[citation(引用;引證) needed] It has since been celebrated, in various ways, in other parts of East Asia as well. In the West, it's commonly known as Dragon Boat Festival.
The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear, but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan (c. 340 BC-278 BC) of the Warring States Period. He committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the Chu government. The local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fish so they would not eat Qu's body. They also sat on long, narrow paddle boats called dragon boats, and tried to scare the fish away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking carved dragon head on the boat's prow(船頭).
In the early years of the Chinese Republic, Duan Wu was also celebrated as "Poets' Day," e to Qu Yuan's status as China's first poet of personal renown(名聲名望).
Today, people eat bamboo-wrapped steamed glutinous(粘的) rice mplings called zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fish) and race dragon boats in memory of Qu's dramatic death。

1、若針對舉例子、人物言論出題,需要查找例子以及人物所說的句子前後的內容,然後與各選項逐一核對。
2、在出現一些關鍵詞,如however,but,moreover, therefore,thus時,要特別注意句子前後意義的轉折、遞進、因果等關系。
3、細節理解題的答案一般是同義替換項或者同義轉換。
4、選項中有絕對語氣詞的一般不是答案。如: must,never, the most, all, merely, only, have to, any, no,completely,none, 等。但不是絕對,也有例外。
5、注意選項中的副詞、形容詞和介詞短語等與原文是否一致。如:must, may, often,should, usually,might, most,more or less,likely,all, never, few等存在程度不同,經常被偷換,往往被忽視。
6、注意干擾項特點:與原文內容相反;與原文內容一半相符,一半不同;敘述過於絕對化;原文沒有提及。
(7)初中英語閱讀三篇多長時間做完擴展閱讀:
閱讀積累要提高閱讀水平,詞彙量與短語量非常重要。所以要提高閱讀水平,我們就得學會積累詞語。我們不妨這么做:在通讀全文後看第二遍,遇到生詞盡可能根據上下文來猜,仍猜不出意思的,就查詞典,然後將這些詞抄寫在一本可隨身攜帶的小本子上。
每當有空時,就拿出這個小本子來背誦記憶。這樣做不但不費時,而且效果也很好。因為不時地接觸、反復地記憶,詞彙量會增加得很快。
另外,句子都能看懂,但讀完文章印象卻不深,這就牽涉到對文章框架結構的整體理解。首先,要重視文章的標題和文章的首句,因為文章的標題或首句就是文章的主題,文章的內容就是圍繞主題展開的;
其次,文章的結尾句往往是這篇文章的結論或作者寫這篇文章的用意所在;再次,善於標注文章關鍵句,可以幫助你掌握文章的全貌,理解文章的主題。很多題目就是圍繞它們而設計的。

A little Brave Girl
A little Brave Girl
It is a true story.
This story was set in at the end of 2004 Zhejiang, when a ten-year old girl walked on her way to home from school as usual, she was being kidnapped off guard
by three men, whom are over 30 years of age, be tall, strong, and are very experienced in kidnapping. For just a split second, the girl was got in a car and didn』t know where she would head, but she didn』t burst into tears like others probably have done in her age, was unusually sober and figured out what has just happened. After short deliberation, she gave her parents telephone number to three
kidnappers after she was asked twice. Kidnappers shortly send short message to
her parents to tell what they did a moment ago for the ransom of RMB500,000 as they commands, threatened them with their daughter』s life. Her parents were at their wits' end at that moment and later had to dial police for helping. During closely watched by two kidnappers, the girl were pleased to cooperate with them in three meals, water, and spoke something to them for delaying. Luckily, kidnappers are very emotional and were amazed at what the girl said when it comes to money, 「 I know clearly you are impossible to kill me, you need money most of all
, but you should know money doesn』t grow on trees, but on painstaking hands.」
The girl said, 「 Uncle, you have probably had children like me, if you children
are in the danger of kidnapping, how then do you think? …」 Finally, the kidnappers were profoundly moved by her reasonable words, and policemen easily seized them about two days later, now they do their time.
Soon after, a journalist wanted to disclose the reason why such a little young
girl is so wise upon the curious queries from the public, but the girl』s parents definitely rejected to accept visit, because they are afraid of kidnapping again as everyone would probably know her. But her main teacher briefly told that
the school often takes 「 Keep a head ring a crisis, to be wise and brave.」 as a compulsory lesson to ecate pupils, this girl are brave enough to practise
this lesson. Also, the girl said she was sort of scared but must to eat enough to keep energetic so as to fight against the kidnappers as long as she could.
Through this story, I deeply feel that the importance of ecation. Nothing is
more important than to receive ecation. Ecation, is absolutely not complete
with graation, is a lifelong study and bound to exert a great impact on our future. Further, the value of ecation. We should not ecate children only for
the aim of ecation, our foremost purpose is to fit them for life.

On some islands there are only a few kinds of bats. That』s because it』s too far for most bats to get to those islands.
In the United States, the greatest number of bats live in the south-western part of the country. This place has all kinds of places where bats can live and there is a lot of food ring most of the year. For example, Texas has 32 different kinds of bats while Maine has only 8; Arizona has 28 species, but Michigan has just 10.

1-3 C A B
Thomas Alva Edison was a man of wonderful ability who
had the good luck to be born at a good time. In the period
just after the American Civil War the United States was
growing conditions were right for the talents of a man like
Edison.
The Edison family had come to the United States from Holland
in the early part of the l8th century. Thomas Alva the
youngest of Samuel』s seven children was born in 1847.
Thomas was an unusually curious child. Even at an early age
he loved to read and make experiments. Because he was so
dreamy and quiet a teacher once accused him of being stupid.
Thomas』s mother was so displeased by this remark that she took
her son out of school and never sent him back. She took charge
of his ecation herself and taught him reading history
science and philosophy. Edison was a very quick reader and he
remembered everything. Once he got the idea of starting at the
first shelf of a large library and reading everything in it.
But after reading through fifteen feet of books he gave up
this ambition.
In order to earn money for books and for his scientific
experiments Thomas sold vegetables from the family garden.
This work did not bring in enough money and so he began to
sell newspapers and candy on a train that ran between Port
HuronMichigan and Detroit. Because people were so eager for
the latest news about the CiviI War which was then at its
height Thomas decided in February 1862 when he was fifteen
years old to print a newspaper of his own the Weekly Herald,
in a baggage car of the train where he worked.In four years he
earned two thousand dollars from thisbusiness.
While he worked on the train young Edison continued to
experiment setting up a laboratory in the baggage car. One day
a stick of phosphorus feIl to the floor and set thecar on
fire. The conctor of the train as so angry that he threw Tom
and all his equipment off the train at the next station; he
also struck Tom causing a permanent injury which later made
him deaf in the right ear.
One day not long after he had started his newspaper, EdiSon
saw a child playing on the tracks in front of a train. He
jumped off the station platform and snatched the child from
the wheels of the train. The father who happened to be the
stationmaster was so grateful that he offered to teach Tom to
become a telegraph operator.He gave him lessons four days a
week after the station had closed for the nightand in three
weeks Edison was a better telegrapher than his teacher.
Edison was sober and independent for his age, but hen was
restless and very careless in his dress. He began to wander
from city to city and from job to job. Because his ideas were
too strange to please the men who hired him,they often asked
him to leave. During this time, he worked in Indianapolis,
Cincinnati, Memphis, and Louisville.
Edison went to Boston's where he had been promised work as
adegraph operator, mainly because of the neat handwriting in
his letter of application, When heappeared in that city, he
looked so untidy and strange that the superintendent asked him
to return later in the day to take a test in telegraphy, with
ihe idea of making ihe test so diffcult that the young man
could not possibly pass it, As the rapid message came in,
Edison realized clerks in the station were playing a joke on
him. They had arranged for the new York operator to send him a
message, faster and faster,in an effort to make Edison admit
that he could not write it down at such a rapid pace, But
Edison was not discouraged. He decided to outwit these
fellows, and he began to send a message himself. He said to
the New York operator,「Come on, don』t go to sleep.Get busy!
That ended the joke, and Edison won his job, as weil as the
title of fastest telegraph operator in the Western Union
Company.
In 1869 he borrowed some money and went to New York. During
the first three years he spent there, he nearly died of
starvation. He slept in a room belonging to a company that
sent information on stock prices to the business houses of New
York. One day the machine that printed news about gold
stopped. Six hundred banks and business houses were without
information about what was being bought and sold that day.
Edison succeeded in repairing the machine, and he was then
offered a job as manager for $300 a month. He was soon hard at
work making improvements in the machine and inventing new
parts. His Universal Printer, invented at this time, printed
full information about gold prices, instead of showing them
only by a few letters and numbers. This was his first big
success. GeneraI Marshall Lefferts, president of the Gold and
Stock Telegraph Company, bought this and several other
inventions of Edison's for forty thousand dollars.
Edison then put his new money to work. He opened a factory
in Newark,New Jersey. Soon he had over one hundred and fifty
men building machines to record stock prices, while he himself
continued to work on new ideas. At one time, he had forty-five
separate inventions in his laboratory, including several
important improvements of the telegrilph. He invented a way of
sending two messages at the same time in opposite directions,
and then a way of sending two messages at the same time in the
same direction,In 1874 he invented and sold to Western Union a
system by which four messages could be sent over one wire at
the same time, two in each direction. He also perfected a new
system for sending telegrams. These inventions saved Western
Union milhons of dollars in the cost of wires and telegraph
poles alone.
Western Union then suggested to Edison that he try to
develop a commercially useful telephone, Alexander Graham Bell
had already patented the te1ephone, but Bell's telephone could
be heard only over short distances. Edison added several
improvements, which were adopted, and are still used in the
telephone today. Western Union paid Edison one hundred
thousand dollars for his inventions.
In l876 he built a workshop and laboratory in Menlo Park,
New Jersey. He was known after that as he Wizard of Menlo
Park,because of the wonderful discoveries he made there, He
began to study the attempts of other men to invent an
incandescent electric light. He tried over and over again to
make a soft light that would be suitab1e for use in private
houses. He tested over two thousand materials before
discovering one that would work. He needed something that
would become hot and give off light when electricity passed
through it in a glass container from which the air had been
removed. He spent a hundred thousand dollars searching for the
best material. Men were sent to India, China, Brazil, and
finally, Japan, where a material was finally found.
In Jalluary,1880, the electric light was patented. Edison
then built a factory for the proction of his light in Menlo
Park, and an electric power station in New York City. But it
was fourteen years before the public really accepted the
electric light. After that, the electric light business grew
So great that Edison was able to sell his share in the
electric light for more than one million dollars.
Edison patented over one thousand separate inventions ring
his life, He never stopped trying to learn more about science
and what it could do for man, His discoveries probably
increased the wealth of the world more than those of any other
single man in history.
On October l8,1931,Edison died at the age of eighiy-four at
his home in Orange, New Jersey. Several days later, the whole
United States turned off its electric lights for one minute,
in honor of the man whose discoveries had so changed and
improved the life of people everywhere.

他如此愛好空想和不聲不響,以致一位老師有一次罵他愚蠢。托馬斯的母親對這個評語很不高興,她令孩子退學不再返校。母親自己照管孩子的教育,教他閱讀,教他歷史、科學和哲學等。愛迪生讀起書來,領會得快,而且過目不忘。有一次他異想天開,要從一所大圖書館的第一個書架看起,看完書架上每一本書。但在看完了書架上十五英尺厚的書籍後,他放棄了這個野心。
為了掙錢買書和搞科學實驗,托馬斯就出售他家菜園中的蔬菜。這工作掙不到足夠的錢,所以他就開始在一列專跑休倫港、密執安和底特律的火車上賣報紙和糖果。因為人們在南北戰爭的高潮中急於了解戰爭的新情況,托馬斯在1862年2月間,他十五歲時,決定在他所工作的火車行李車上印刷他自己的報紙《先驅周報》。四年之間他從這張報紙上賺了二千美元。
年輕的愛迪生在火車上工作時繼續搞實驗,在行李車上建立了一間實驗室。有一天
一根磷棒掉在地板上使這節車廂著火。列車長十分生氣,在下一個車站把湯姆和他的所有實
驗設備都扔下了火車,還揍了湯姆一頓,造成永久性傷害,使愛迪生右耳聾了。
愛迪生在開辦他的報紙後不久,有一天望見一個小孩在火車前面的鐵軌上玩耍。他急忙從站台上跳下把小孩從火車輪子下搶救出來。這孩子的父親正好是站長,他很感激,主動
提出要教會湯姆成為電報員。他在車站夜晚關門後,每周給他上四次課,三個星期之後愛迪生 便成為比他老師更好的電報員了。
就他的年齡來說,愛迪生很穩重,有獨立性,但他見異思遷,而且對於衣著很不注意。 他開始從一個城市漫遊到另一個城市,從一個
職業換到另一個職業。因為他的想法太離奇,
不能使僱用他的人滿意,僱主們常常叫他卷鋪蓋走路。在這段時間里,他在印地安納波利斯,辛辛那提,孟菲斯和路易斯維爾等城市都工作過。
愛迪生去到了波士頓,在那裡有人答應給他電報員的工作,主要因為他的求職信中字跡寫得工整。當他在波士頓露面時,他是如此的衣冠不整,怪里怪氣,以致主管人叫他當天晚些時候去參加電報技術的考試,目的是要故意出難題,使這位青年考不及格。當電報迅速拍進來時,愛迪生意識到電報局的職工們是在和他開玩笑。他們已經和紐約市的電報員安排好,給愛迪生拍一份電報來,越拍越快,企圖迫使愛迪生承認他抄不下這么快的電報。但愛迪生沒有泄氣。他決心以智取勝,於是他開始自己拍出一份電報。他對紐約市的電報員說:「來吧,別去睡覺,使勁吧!」這就結束了這場玩笑,愛迪生也贏得了他的職位,同時還贏得了西聯電訊公司最快電報員的稱號。
1869年愛迪生借了些錢去到紐約,他在紐約的頭三年裡,幾乎餓死。他睡在一家公司的一間房子里,這公司專給紐約各商行提供股票行情。一天,那台印刷黃金行情的機器不動了。六百家銀行和商行都收不到關於那天買進賣出的商情,愛迪生把這機器修好了,因此人家給了他一個經理的職位,月薪三百美元。他很
快地就努力改進這台機器,並且還發明了許多新部件。他當時發明的萬能印刷機印出了關於金價的全部情報,而不只是以少數字母和數字來顯示行情。這是他第一個巨大的成功,金價和股票電報公司的經理馬歇爾。萊費茲將軍出資四萬美元把這台機器和愛迪生的其他幾項發明買了下來。
愛迪生就拿這新到手的錢做生意。他在新澤西州紐阿克市開了一家工廠。很快地他就雇了一百五十人製造紀錄股票行情的機器了,而他自己則繼續試驗他的一些新想法。有一段時間在他實驗室里共有四十五個不同的發明項目,包括幾項對於電報機的重要改進。他想出了一種方法,可從兩個相反方向同時各拍出一份電報,隨後又想出一種方法,可從一個方向同時拍兩份電報。1874年他發明並售給西聯電訊公司一種裝置,用了它可以在一根電線上拍發四份電報,即從每一方向可同時拍發兩份電報。他還改進了一種拍電報的新方法。使之趨於完善。這些發明,僅在電線和電線竿的成本上就為西聯電訊公司節約了幾百萬美元。
西聯電訊公司又向愛迪生建議:叫他試制一部商用電話,亞歷山大.貝爾已經取得了電話機的專利,但貝爾的電話譏只能在短距
離內聽見。愛迪生增大了幾項改進,被採用了,這些改進直到今天仍然應用在電話上。西聯電訊公司為他的幾項發明付給愛迪生十萬美元。
1876年,愛迪生在新澤西州門洛園建造了一個車間和實驗室,由於他在那裡搞出了許多奇妙的發明,以後他被人們稱為「洛園的巫師」。他開始研究別人為發明白熱電燈所作的嘗試。他一次再一次地試制一種適子家用的柔光燈。在找到,種合用的材料之前,他竟試驗了兩千種以上的材料。他需要某種可放在抽去空氣的玻璃容器內,通過電流後能變熱並發出光來的材料。他花了十萬美元尋找最好的材料。他派人去印度、中國、巴西,最後終於在日本找到了。
在1880年1月,他取得了電燈專利權。愛迪生在門洛園建造了一家生產電燈的工廠,並在紐約市建成了一座發電站。但是直到過十四年公眾才真正接受他的電燈。在那以後,電燈業發展得規模如此之大。以致愛迪生出售他的電燈股票時,竟得了一百多萬美元。
愛迪生一生中得到一千多種發明項
國的專利為了學習更多的科學並使科學為人類服務,他永不停息。他的各種發明為世界增加的財富可能比歷史上任何一個人都多。
1931年10月18月,愛迪生在新澤西州奧蘭奇城的家中去世,終年八十四歲。幾天後全美國都停電一分鍾以紀念這個以他的發明大大改變並改善了各地人民生活的人。
