英語經典閱讀的打算
一、把握良機,渲染英語課堂氣氛,寓教於樂。
小學生對初次看到的、聽到的事物常留下深刻的印象,新奇有趣就更讓人難以忘懷,教師善於利用「第一次」,會使之成為學生學習的有效動力。想一想,英語教師第一次走進課堂,就對孩子們說:「同學們,今天我們開始學英語。」給孩子們的印象是多少的平淡。而換一種方式,在黑板上用優美的英語字體寫上「Welcome to English!」;錄音機里播放歡快的英語歌曲;再來一段教師的英語自我介紹;請學生談談英語在我們生活中的用處(如有各種英語說明書,長大後可以出國留學等)。這樣的效果會深深地印在學生的腦海里,使他們感受到英語離我們的生活很近,學英語是一件多麼有趣而又有益的事。 當學生開口說第一句英語,第一次羞澀的用英語和老師打招呼,第一次和同學表演對話,第一次唱英文歌曲,第一次做英文游戲……這些新奇、喜悅、自豪、快樂的情感培養了學生濃厚的學習興趣,無數個培養興趣的機會會隨著這一個個「第一次」悄然而至。
二、充分研究教材,在各個教學環節中巧妙設計。
教師對學習材料和內容的處理,一般是由易到難,逐步深入,同時要考慮到對學生學習興趣的一定刺激程度,使學生的思想始終處於積極狀態,使他們的興趣逐步升級。其次增加教學環節中的趣味性,教學手段的多樣化也有助於使學生的興趣得以保持。呈現語言材料前,教師要想辦法為學生創設新穎可信的情景,由此吸引學生注意力,再由該情景過渡到課本所展現的情景中,同時,合理地運用實物、圖片、掛圖、簡筆畫、現場錄音、多媒體課件等,讓所要呈現的情景更加直觀而富有情趣。比如在進行課文教授時,教師可用從網上下載的聽說讀寫的英語材料、採用自製課件來進行教學,通過聲、光、電的完美結合,用生動的形象、真實的畫面、優美動人的語言和音樂,來豐富學生的想像力,刺激學生的興趣和求知慾,增強學生的記憶效果,從而實現教學目標,達到教學目的。例如在教「Do you like bananas?」這一內容時,筆者就運用實物展示、課件輔助教學的辦法,讓學生利用生活中常見的食物進行操練,很好的激發了學生的興趣。豐富多彩的課外活動是培養學生英語興趣的重要途徑,但居於重要地位的則是成功的英語課堂教學。我們應在課堂教學中,使學生於主人自居,積極、主動、大膽、愉快地參與英語課堂教學活動,在各種操練和交流中提高聽、說、讀、寫能力,激發積極學習的情感。
三、 以人為本,發揮學生主體性。
教師應該把小學生看作是具有成長潛能的生命體,其內部蘊藏著主體發展的機制,認識到教學的目的在於開發學生的潛力,驅動其主體的發展機制,使之成長、成熟。「以人為本」的理念在教育界越來越深入人心。在教育過程中,以學生為中心,充分發揮學生的主體性已成為廣大教師所熱衷的教學方法。母語習得研究及外語學習研究均證實:外語教學中的重點不再應該是 「我們該教些什麼」,而應是「我們如何在課堂教學中創造這些條件」 。新課程標准強調的是學生「能幹什麼」,因此,我們在教學過程中應充分體現學生的主動性和創造性,增強學生使用英語的能力。
正如布魯納所說的:「教學過程是一種提出問題和解決問題的持續不斷的活動。」因此我們應多為學生創造思考的空間。這就要求教師要善於引導學生思考、討論、回答問題,而不是限制學生的思維,被動地跟著老師走.例如,在教授「Ask the way」一內容時,筆者採用多媒體呈現迷路、問路的幾個現場情景,然後提出問題:假設是你,將如何進行問路、指路?學生分小組討論(Group-work),接著每組向全班匯報,匯集各組方式後,再與教材中學生們的方法作比較。在學會技能之後,還讓學生聯系本校、本地區的具體地理情況,自編自演問路的情景。在教學中,學生非常積極,「Ask the classroom」 「Ask the bookshop」,還有的「Ask the W.C.」,氣氛特別活躍。這樣一來,就充分調動了學生的主體性和創造性,幫助他們成為學習的主人。在課堂教學時,把學生置於主體地位,使學生很自然地用英語思考、很積極地進行英語語言輸出,學習興趣自然而來。
四、建立新型師生關系,以情施教,情感交融。
師生關系是以基本的人性觀為前提的。現代教育觀認為人的本性是積極的、向上的,具有生長與進取的潛力,教育的目的是開發人的潛能、促進人的健全發展。因此,我們必須建立新型的師生關系。
在我的課堂教學中,「微笑」是貫穿始終的表情,通常我面帶微笑環視教室走進課堂,隨著一聲「Good morning」或輕松的「Hi」,便開始了課堂教學。隨著課堂教學的開展,自然的運用身體語言來配合教學,如通過面部表情去吸引學生,用點頭或幽默動作給學生以鼓勵、勇氣或提示。教get up ,go to sleep這類片語時,教師先用誇張的動作引出,使學生很快就理解了,然後再讓學生在邊學邊動中操練,而在教授happy, sad, angry時,我則充分利用了面部表情,誇張的表情和動作,既加深了學生的記憶,又創造了輕松的課堂氣氛。 在英語教學中,為了培養學生的實際交際能力,往往有許多的小對話、小故事供學生表演,而這些對話中也總是含有一定的情感因素,教師應把這些內容的情感通過自己巧妙的加工、提煉而展示出來,給學生以情感上的感染,使學生在接受認識信息的同時,接受相應的情感因素的影響,達到以情生情、以情促知的效果。 在上三年級的教材時,有一篇信息材料是關於國旗的。我充分抓住學生愛足球的天性,利用這點再展示國旗的圖片,學生便會很快把它們的讀法記熟。
對學生的關心,會激起學生學習的動力。對學生鼓勵,會引發學生學習的信心。老師要不吝表揚和鼓勵,尤其對於一些成績不太理想的學生,要多肯定他們做得好的地方,及時發現他們的閃光點,增強他們的信心。如每天的作業,不僅是學生鞏固知識的場所,更是我和他們交流的重要渠道,有進步了我會寫上Come on!表現優秀的寫上Very good! Excellent! 退步的或有錯誤的寫上Can I help you? 只寫片語卻能讓學生感受到教師是關心他、注意他的,他們也會在作業本上寫上Thank you!等和我交流。
總之,英語學習,興趣為先。學生語言能力的高低在很大程度上受制於英語學習興趣的程度。很難想像失去了興趣還能怎樣培養交際能力。所以,作為英語教師,一方面要向學生傳授語言知識並使他們掌握技能,另一方面更要重視培養和保持學生對這門學科的興趣,獲得事半功倍的效果。這樣才能真正把新課程標准提出的要求落到實處。
2. 英語作文。 簡述閱讀現狀及你對閱讀的看法和打算 閱讀現狀:一些人不經常閱讀。有些人說沒
by a hen, an eagle lived like a chicken. He wanted to fly like an eagle but discouraged by his fellows. Eventually he died bitterly without knowing he himself was an eagle. (33 words)
Some factors may account for why the eagle was made a chicken. Firstly, the eagle was influenced by the chickens around him, scratching for food just like them without a higher goal. Secondly, the eagle failed to reflect on himself, so he didn』t know he had the potential to fly high. Finally, he lacked enough self-confidence, so he gave up his dream of flying like an eagle, just because of the discouraging words from others.
There are many such eagles in our daily life. I think we should avoid negative influences, set a high goal and work hard to achieve it. Besides, we must be confident in our potential and make good use of it to become real eagles.
3. 一篇英語作文,寫就自己如何有效地做好英語閱讀的方法。
English learning, including listening, speaking, reading and writing various skills training, one of the most basic should be reading ability. Now in the English exam, reading ability demanding. Read the questions in the exam scores, and has a large proportion of the score, often determines how many students grades. English reading content involves a wider range of history, about the reality of life, the article, also have the narrative of economy, science and technology, military, etc, this paper has compared to read the contents of the students interest and widely knowledge, strong ability to understand the analysis judgment. Can say, reading comprehension of improving students' comprehensive capability is one of the process, and to improve the students' English reading ability, it is not easy to find, to influence students reading comprehension.Based on the survey found that students are students, these influence factors of reading comprehension:1 the vocabulary of words, not fully understood, not exactly.2 the lack of knowledge background, affect the whole text.3 the thinking mode of expression in English and sentence structure, not familiar with this understanding of difficulty.4 bad reading habits, which affect the reading speed and the accuracy of the information access interfere with students.5. Lack basic reading skills, reading the effect not beautiful.Find the influence factors of the students' reading ability, should take measures to strengthen special training, to improve the students' reading ability.
英語學習,包括聽、說、讀、寫多種技能的培養,其中最基本的應是閱讀能力了。在現在的英語考試中,對閱讀能力的要求很高。閱讀題的分數在整個試卷中佔有很大的比重,而這一部分得分的多少,往往決定了學生考分的高低。英語的閱讀內容涉及的范圍較廣,有關於歷史的也有關現實生活的,有故事性的文章,也有經濟、科技、軍事等方面的文章,這樣的閱讀內容要求學生有比較廣泛的知識面、興趣和較強的分析理解判斷能力。可以說,閱讀理解能力的提高是一個學生綜合能力提高的過程,而要想提高學生的英語閱讀能力,並非易事,先要弄清影響學生閱讀理解能力的原因。通過對學生的調查發現,下面這些是影響學生閱讀理解能力的主要因素:1. 詞彙量少,對詞語理解不準確,不全面。2. 背景知識的缺乏,影響對整篇文章的理解。3. 對英語表達的思維模式和句子結構不熟悉,造成文章理解的困難。4. 不良的閱讀習慣,既影響閱讀速度,又妨礙學生獲取信息的准確性。5. 缺乏掌握基本的閱讀技巧,閱讀效果不佳。找出了影響學生閱讀能力的主要因素後,就應針對這些方面採取措施,加強專項訓練來提高學生的閱讀能力。
4. 求幫寫一篇英語作文,閱讀經典的重要性
The Importance of Reading Classics
It is widely acknowledged that reading classics is both important and beneficial to the character development and personal growth of the young people. As for me, nothing can bring more joy and happiness than reading those masterpieces created by great figures like Confucius and Cao Xueqin. I believe works like The Dream in the Red Chamber and The Legend of Three Kingdoms can drastically elevate one's aesthetic taste and deepen the understanding of the glorious history of Chinese culture.
However, the modern society is full of temptations. Compared with TV soap operas, sport events, and video games, classical literary works are old fashioned and time consuming. In bookstores, 「Fast-food」 reading materials are replacing classics, and young writers with sensational and 「cool」 remarks win the support of a large number of fans.
we college students should be fully aware of the important role the classics play in broadening one's vision. Therefore, we should start reading and studying the treasuries our ancestors center and absorbing the essence of those classical works. We should also advocate to the public the importance of classics so that an increasing number of general people can enjoy the pleasure of reading
參考翻譯:
現在人們已經公認為閱讀經典對於年輕人的個性成長是重要而且有益的。就我而言,沒有任何事比閱讀那些諸如孔子,曹雪芹等人的名著更能讓我興奮了。我相信像紅樓夢,三國演義這樣的著作能夠極大地提升一個人的藝術品位,加深對中國文化史的了解。
然而,現代社會有各種各樣的誘惑。和肥皂劇,體育比賽,視頻游戲比較,經典文學顯得有些跟不上潮流且需要耗費大量的時間。在書店裡,快餐式的閱讀材料代替了經典,年輕的作者憑借敏感的酷酷的形式贏得大量人的追捧。
我們大學生應當充分認識到閱讀經典對於開擴我們的視野所起的作用。因此,我們應當閱讀學習先輩創造的財富,吸收經典中的精華。我們還應當向公眾宣傳經典文學的重要性,那樣更多的人才能加入到閱讀經典的行列當中。
5. 英語學習計劃怎麼寫
第一:詞彙記憶計劃,每天給自己制定學習,背誦單詞的數量,並且堅持每天記背,在背誦單詞的時候,切記要弄清楚所有記背詞彙的具體含義,搭配,片語的延伸內容,這樣的話,你背誦一個單詞,就可以達到幾十個詞彙記憶的要求。
第二:閱讀計劃,每天閱讀一定量的英語資料,並且堅持每天對裡面經典的詞彙和片語進行筆記和識記,這樣的話,你的以後在寫作的時候,你就可以有的放矢的寫更多精彩的句子了。
第三:聽力計劃,每天學習聽不錯的英語聽力資料,比如英文美劇,英劇,英語新聞,英語散文等等有用的英語學習資料,但是切記要弄懂一組英語聽力的真正內容,這樣才能真正的提高你英語學習的能力。
第四:英語寫作計劃,每天你可以根據自己的學習能力和時間來制定,你可以選擇寫英文日記,如果你很有時間,你也可以寫英文周記,如果時間不是很充裕的時候,還有就是根據自己的英語水平選擇恰當的英語寫作方式,可以從寫句子到寫文章,不定的選擇和學習。
第五:語法計劃,如果你是學生黨,一定的語法練習是很重要的,可以每天一個題型,你也可以每天一套試卷,因為每天練習英語語法試卷,對你自己以後的做題拿高分也是很有幫助的。記得做好錯題分析,找到自己的原因,然後加油改進,一定可以成功的。
第六:復習和預習計劃,每天對自己所學的英語內容進行實用的復習和預習,這樣的方式能讓自己的英語學習更有底氣,很牢實。
6. 英語閱讀能力的培養計劃
英語閱讀能力的培養計劃
一,英語閱讀能力對英語學習的重要性
對於將英語作為外語的中國人來說,英語閱讀不僅是英語學習的目的,而且是英語學習的主要手段和途徑。英語閱讀技能不僅是最重要的語言技能之一,也是學生必須掌握的學習技能之一。英語閱讀能力是發展其他語言技能的基礎和前提。
二,英語閱讀能力的分析
閱讀是一種言語活動。在這過程中所表現出來的能力,被稱為「閱讀能力」或「閱讀理解能力。」要具備這種能力,還必須具備豐富的知識結構。一個擁有社會、文化、風土人情、天文地理、歷史等方面的知識的人,在讀有關內容的英文材料時,要比不具備這方面知識的人輕松得多,理解的也會透徹得多。他不僅能夠理解文中所說的內容,而具還能夠將文中所講的內容與文中未講的有關內容聯系起來。如果不具備這些知識,他就不可能達到對文章的透徹理解。
要想進行有效的閱讀,除了具備上述的能力外,還要具備篇章的知識。例如,要盡快知道報紙的大概內容,就首先要了解版面的內容,然後找到感興趣的版面,先讀標題,後確定要讀的內容。我們要想了解全書的內容,首先要閱讀內容提要,然後閱讀目錄和前言。所有這一切都清楚地表明,篇章知識是有效閱讀必不可少的一個因素,是閱讀能力的重要組成部分。
三,英語閱讀的方法
1. 導讀 ( Preparation for reading )
導讀是在閱讀文章之前的准備。閱讀材料涉及到天文地理、歷史人物、環境保護、自然災害、工作生活、文學藝術、科學技術、體育衛生、人權、政治等各個領域。體裁有記敘、書信、日記、小品、戲劇、傳記、詩歌、說明文等。在導讀過程中,根據閱讀材料的不同內容和不同體裁,適當地查閱一些與文章有關的背景知識,幫助了解閱讀材料的內容,將大大激發對材料的興趣,明顯提高閱讀的`效果。
例如在讀題為American English一文時,可以利用收音機或錄音機,有選擇地轉錄BBC和VOA的英語節目,聽原汁原味的美國英語和英國英語。聽完之後判斷並注意英美英語在發音、拼寫和用詞上的差異。然後把這些差異一一列出來進行比較。
A.在詞彙方面的差異:
美國:gas, baggage, mail, movie,
英國:petrol, luggage, post, film,
B.在拼寫方面的差異:
美國:check, jail, color, favor, center,
英國:cheque, gaol, colour, favour, centre,
C.在發音方面的差異:
美國:again [ 'gein], clerk [klз:k], dance [d?ns]
英國:again [ 'gen], clerk [kla:k], dance [da:ns]
2.掠讀 ( Skimming )
掠讀是由閱讀目的所決定的。在進行掠讀時,不需要詳盡地理解所讀材料,只是了解閱讀材料的基本信息,快速瀏覽全篇,領會主旨或抓住主要內容。可以跳過細節,跳過不重要的思想和例子。
掠讀是一個人可能達到的最快的閱讀速度。例如在課外閱讀時,想在五分鍾內了解一篇文章的大概內容,或者想在考試前幾分鍾內將要考的內容再復習一遍,都可以用掠讀的方法。
掠讀通常可以通過以下幾個步驟來完成。
(1) 抓住段落特點
每一篇文章都是由各個段落組成的,而每一個段落都是提綱的一個要點,只要抓住了提綱的要點,也就抓住了整個段落的意思,才能迅速地獲取閱讀信息。
(2) 抓主題句
一個段落只有一個主題思想,主題句是表達段落中心思想的句子,它是一個段落中關鍵性的句子。抓住了主題句,就抓住了段落的中心思想,就抓住了段落的綱。主題句的位置可能有三種情況:一是主題句位於段首;二是主題句位於段末;三是主題句位於段中。主題句位於句首的情況最為普遍,通常為段落的第一句或第二句,找出每段的主題句,進行歸納總結,就能增加理解的深度。
3.檢索讀 ( Scanning )
同掠讀一樣,檢索讀也是一種快速閱讀的方法。兩者的不同之處在於:掠讀是從閱讀材料中獲得大意,其目的是了解閱讀內容的概要。檢索讀是從閱讀材料中尋找某些特定的信息。掠讀是事先對閱讀材料一無所知,而檢索讀則是在對閱讀材料有所了解的情況下進行的。
檢索讀的步驟如下:
(1)學生要時刻清楚地記著自己要尋找的特定信息。
(2)學生應迅速沿著文章自上而下掃視,時刻期待所找信息從未讀部分顯現出來。
(3)若找到信息,應該仔細看一看,證實所找信息是否確定。在檢索讀時,心中帶著問題,看一看文中是不有問題的答案。
4.猜詞性閱讀
在課外閱讀過程中,特別是在掠讀或檢索讀時,如果遇到不懂的詞或句子,手頭又沒有辭典的情況下,怎麼辦?這時可利用上下文線索猜測詞義。要培養高效的閱讀能力就要學會利用生詞的上下文去尋找猜詞懂意的線索。後文的閱讀往往能澄清整段的意思,對整段意思的理解又反過來為理解生詞提供了整體背景,使猜測有了可尋的線索。猜詞性閱讀可以通過以下幾種方法來進行:
(1)根據構詞法理解詞義;
While early settlers had killed bison for food, now the killing became more widespread.
widespread是一個合成詞。把它分開成為wide, spread就可知其意。
(2)根據上下文理解:
Now they could ride horse, it became easier to hunt the bison, a type of cattle which used to exist in huge number on the plains of America.
當不理解這個詞時, 可根據後面的解釋來理解這是 a type of cattle.
(3)根據句了結構理解:
Thus one simple fact, a change in the number of bison, had an effect on the whole wildlife chain of the plaons.
通過分析句子成分可知,a change…bison是fact的同位語。主語是fact,謂語是had an effect on …根據上文所述可理解此句。
5.細讀 ( Close reading )
掃清語言障礙是細讀的首要任務,在經歷了前面的掠讀和檢索讀後,應該對閱讀材料的大意和思想有了整體的理解,但是對於一些句子和單詞的意思,也就是細節,還不是很清楚,這時就需要細讀或稱為精讀。
細讀的過程包括理解生詞詞義、結構表達的意義及句子表達的語法意義。可以對句子的結構進行語法分析和判斷。這樣做可以掃清在閱讀過程中的語言障礙。然後把文章的中心提出來,進行分析、總結和概括,並揭示各分論點之間的內在關系,深入到課文的內部結構中去理解文章,理解作者意圖,掌握文章的中心思想。
綜上所述,英語閱讀能力都是在大量閱讀實踐活動中培養的。因此,閱讀能力的培養需要各種形式。閱讀能力的全面發展要求系統化。大家需要養成良好的閱讀習慣和好的閱讀技能,並持之以恆,堅持不懈。培養英語閱讀技能不僅要充分挖掘快速閱讀能力的潛力,而且要注意提高閱讀技能和消除閱讀技能的障礙。只有熟練掌握英語閱讀技能的學生才能高效率地閱讀。這樣的閱讀活動,不但可以激發閱讀的興趣和動機,滿足學習英語的成就感;而且還可以培養發現問題、解決問題的能力和用英語思考、用英語交際的能力和自學英語的能力。
[原創]A thank-you letter
Hi, Valerie,
How are you? have you got the approval for your new EP(Employment Pass).
If yes, congratulations!
I wanted to email to GP first, but temporally can't
find his address. It doesn't mean I don't want to write
to you, just feel like GP is more closer to me that
time.
GP told me that because of me you don't want to
talk to Kent either. I was very appreciateful, cause
I took this as my true friend's action! However, Rex
didn't do as you did at all!
I didn't talk to you much when we were in the same
company, though you just sat behind me. Last time I
thought even talk too much with another girl is
considered a great offence to my "wife". I was stuck
too deep to stay awake of this mass. Thank you and GP
so much for having given me great support when I
needed it badly.
I miss GP and you, really. Just hope one day we can
meet together and drink together. I am sure I won't
have a boss like GP again, not to mention a colleague
like you and Vincent. You guys left me the sweetest
memories in Singapore. How am I going to thank
you?
Please tell GP that I have mailed to you and let me know
his address as well. I want to email to him too. I'm
now at home being taken well care of by my parents.
They are about to buy me a car so that I can travel to
some other provinces in China. Ok, my daddy is back,
got to take lunch with him. See you.
All the bests to you and GP
Danny
[原創]About the F word
When I first started to learn English in middle school, I didn't know there is F word in vocabulary. Until many years later, browsing through a book about American Slang in the college library, I spotted the F word in an expression about cursing. I looked it up in my dictionary, but found nothing. Back then, we didn』t have computers or Internet, which gives you access to any sort of information in the blink of an eye, nor did we have DVD or VCD. The only chance we could watch American movie was that ring some weekday evening the American teachers played some movies brought from US on a VCR. The TV in our classroom was very small, and the sound was poor. And the room was always packed and had an awful smell of body odor, stale air, and lots of noises.
Honestly, I could understand disturbingly little of the movie, which had no subtitle and couldn』t be played back. All we studied was some stupid textbooks titled advanced English with passages written probably decades or even centuries ago by some famous writers or philosophers whatsoever.
Many years passed, we have more options of English learning, and my knowledge increases. I found that the f word is so widely used in English that no one could say his or her English is really good without solid knowledge of it.
To many beginners, teachers told them that the f word is a bad and crude word they should never learn or use. But I think this is terribly wrong. The f word, though often used as a verbal insult to other people as in 「f you」, it is also frequently used to indicate anger, resentment, affection, or even care. Some good examples could be easily caught in the many popular American movies. 「Where the f are you talking about?」 「Where the f have you been」 The speaker may be simply emphasizing an emotion of surprise, shock, or concern. The most interesting word incorporating the f word is 「abso-f ing-lutely」 in one episode of the TV show 「Sex and the City」. If we don』t know how to use the f word, it is really hard to express a degree of certainty higher than the word 「absolute」.
My point is that as language learners we should always keep in mind that sometimes what you see is not what you get. To learn a language better, it requires us so much more than hard work and practice. We need to expose ourselves to a more authentic language environment even it is very difficult for people like us living and working in China. The earlier we expose ourselves to cross-cultural problems, the more obstacles we come across in learning English, the deeper we would understand the language. So challenge yourself and you would become tougher and smarter.

[原創]BEC高級--讓我難忘的考試
又一年的BEC考試又要開始了.很多人急著復習備考了.平心而論,她在對測試非英語為母語的考生運用英語作為工具進行商務活動能力的方面還是比較有說服力和權威性的,所以對於將來有志進入(或已經進入)外企進行國際貿易的人員來說,這項考試還是值得一試的.特別是BEC HIGHER, 她對英語綜合能力的評估力度相對更大一些.
由於BEC考試有她特有的特點,報考她的人也越來越多.但是也正是由於她將英語和商務結合到一起,致使考試難度加大.無論是對於沒有經過英語專業訓練的非英語專業考生,還是對於學習英語專業但沒有商務知識的考生來說都是比較困難的.尤其如果是沒有正式進入工作崗位,只是在校學生,他們對BEC高級商務實務不是很了解,在解決具體考試內容的時候,就會有一定難度.
[原創]Government Officers
I had no idea what the government officers were like before I joined my bureau. I, however, had no positive impressions on them, because of some officers I approached when I was a salesman.
Of course, I usually contacted those who were in charge of purchasing. Those officers were/maybe still are proud, demanding and powerful. Some of them hinted me for returns and some just asked directly. I invited them for dinner sometimes, and they ordered the most expensive dishes. Some even asked for more services after dinner. Not until all the so-called services were done, did they want to release some useful information to us or sign the purchasing orders. That』s why I used to look down upon them. They were nothing but a big pile of shit to me.
And now I』m working as a government officer too, not only because I am tired of being a salesman, but I want a stable and reliable job. I don』t think this position will be my final career destination, though! It』s been three months since I joined in the bureau. I』m impressed by the government officers in my bureau, because they are far away from what I thought before. Some of them are really good and responsible people!
Our bureau is a bit different from the others, because we are in charge of all the trades and investments in the city. Local companies have to apply for invitation letters if they want their foreign customers, colleagues, friends, relatives or whoever to come to Shenyang to live or work. And we』re in charge of all the foreign companies in the city. Though we have great power in hand, we use it to get more legal foreign investments and for anything which could be helpful for employment opportunities.
Some small problems still occurred to me after I became a member of the officers. I had no such experience on dealing with them before. For example: A section director asked me to translate a long essay for him. I said yes, but my boss was not happy because he said the director had no right to ask his man to do anything without his permission. I understood, cause he is my boss. I shall not take orders from other people, though their ranks are much higher than mine! So my boss asked me to leave his translation alone and let him to explain to the director. In fact, he forgot to do it, and I was there waiting for the consequence. It came to me pretty soon. The director told the president of my bureau that my English was poor. And don』t forget I just impressed the boss in a negative way. I smiled when I heard this, bitterly. 「So what?」 I asked myself. It』s no big deal. Danny』s English level has been proved by many foreigners, not only from English-speaking countries. I have, at least, great confidence on my English skills.
This incident made me more mature. Working for the Chinese government is not easy. As long as you』re sophisticated enough, you will definitely stand a batter chance to be promoted. You have to be bad, mean and whatever suitable for the job. I』m outta here, sooner or later. Like my brother told me before: if you work for the government, you』re gonna die soon.
Now I understand what he meant. Oops, being a government officer is not easy; being a good and innocent one is nearly impossible. So are you ready to be a government officer?
[原創]how to "use" english!!!
some people just dont know why after 10 years of learning they
still cant speak like a 10 year old native speaker. the only
reason or difference is that while you are "learning" english,
a native kid is "using" english.
a book just wont get you anywhere, but without a good book,
you cant go far either. so here is my idea, use the language
first, read when there is something you dont understand, but
before you go through this reading process, do ask a native
for help first.
i spent 3 years on this and it definitely worked. i hope
newbies could do like i did, but one thing for sure, you will
never be as good at this as you wanna be, and this feeling will
either get you motivated or bored, if you can manage well, you
will see the big picture.
here is a website where you can meet a lot of native people,
www.facethejury.com , there is a forum which can be accessed
for free if you register, you can chat with native people on
that forum in real time, its much better than having a teacher
right? well, at least i think so.
you know, i avoid the chance to talk with non native speakers,
because i might learn from them, and they might become some
kind of habbit to me, which tells you not to use english with
your own kind, cause if you do it will not do you any good.
mistakes can happen, but make sure they dont come out all the
time, cause if they do your brain will register them and it
will be hard for you to correct later on.
dont you ever think going abroad to learn english is much better
than doing it in your own country and dont forget who you are, because if you forget who you really are, no one else would
remember that for you, and if you think going abroad can learn
the real thing, to some point you are right, but for most of
you, its a big mistake, who told you native speakers can accept
you as their friend when you still need to learn english? if
you cant talk fluently with them they will get bored.
dont argue, if a native spearker says "hey whats up", you just
need to accept the fact that they dont use "hello how are you",
just register that piece in your mind and use it the next time
you see someone you know, "habbitize" yourself. "ima tell you
like dis," grammar rules dont work very well in real conversations
if you see what i mean.
"is" and "are", you dont know how to use them? maybe a native
speaker doesnt know that either but they do know how to use
them in a "right" kind of way. "who you think you is?" does
this one sound right to you? cause it does sound right for a

;7. 怎麼制定學英語的計劃
制定學英語的計劃需要先明確目標,制定每天的任務再落實,再解決不懂的問題。
制定英語學習計劃是學習英語的第一個首要事項,沒有計劃,那麼就不可能執行,計劃制定的不可行,不準確,那麼英語學習計劃就不能長久執行,學習效果自然會大打折扣。
怎樣制定英語學習計劃呢,需要英語學習目標,英語學習資源,英語學習計劃制定,計劃執行。大家要明白學習英語絕不是看一部動畫片,不是一蹴而就的事。要想不下一番苦功夫、不費一點力氣就能學好英語,那是絕對辦不到的。
學英語計劃的實施
英語學習時要有計劃的,通過詞彙記憶計劃、閱讀計劃、聽力計劃會讓大家學習英語更有目的性和方向感英語學習計劃怎麼制定英語學習計劃?詞彙記憶計劃每天給自己制定學習、背誦單詞的數量,並且堅持每天記背。閱讀計劃:每天閱讀一定量的英語資料,並且堅持每天對裡面經典的詞彙和片語進行筆記和識記。

8. 英語名著閱讀的意義和價值
1.提升英語學習興趣
初中學生對英語學習的態度已經開始分化,有的學生對英語單詞的識記和英語句型的背誦開始產生排斥情緒,有的學生對英語毫無感情,唯一的興趣點便是英語老師課堂教學的一些技巧。面對這種狀況,教師不妨引進英語經典名著,用英語經典故事激發學生學習英語的興趣。英語經典故事是最真實的英語語言環境,學生在閱讀時可以沉浸在輕松愉快的氛圍中,與作者進行心靈對話,進行情感互動。而且學生如果能讀懂故事情節,也是對自己閱讀能力的肯定,從而產生自我效能感,以更強的自信投入閱讀中。閱讀經典,可以讓學生感受真正意義上的英語語言環境,有利學生英語口語的學習和語法思維的形成。
3.提高閱讀寫作能力
英語閱讀寫作能力的提高需要學生掌握更多的詞彙,閱讀經典名著則可以不斷增加積累語言知識。初中生在閱讀經典名著開始時可能會有一定的難度,可以篩選出英漢雙語版,這樣學生在英漢對照閱讀時可以猜測出單詞的意思,減少閱讀障礙,經典名著有很多的場景描寫,對於喜歡了解故事情節的初中生來說顯得枯燥一些,這就需要老師給予正確的引導。閱讀名著不要貪多貪快,要對文中的描寫進行揣摩賞析,甚至要摘抄背誦。經典名著語言靈活,句型多變,蘊含著更加豐富的語法內容。學生經過一段時間的閱讀可以積累豐富的語言特點,經過自身的加工整合,在寫作時可以隨時遷移,提高英語寫作能力。

書摘:
我星期六下午最喜歡閱讀的是瑪塞勒·哈杉寫的書,她是烹飪傳統意大
利北部食品的行家,她做的東西很好吃,她的文字很直白,充滿了幽默色彩
。瑪塞勒堅信要享受烹飪過程,留意每個細節,才能做出真正好吃的東西。
這就意味著她必須反對偷工減料,對調味料的選擇非常挑剔,通過認真判斷
和觀察,而不是完全遵照書上所說的那樣設定時間和溫度。簡而言之,她要
求她的讀者——學習義大利傳統烹飪方法的學生——真正沉浸在烹飪中,而
不去理會廚房料理台上的混亂。
瑪塞勒描述了做通心粉的兩種方法,一種用電子機器,另一種用手和擀
麵杖。在談到前一種方法時她說:「不要被那種從一頭放進雞蛋和麵粉,另
外一頭就能擠出你想要的通心粉的機器所引誘。」她描寫如何手工製作通心
粉的過程足足用了5頁,而她的方法並不簡單,其中「大概」、「你覺得」
等字眼超過了一般烹飪書里的數量。但是,她需要你敏銳的觀察力和判斷力
,例如,她指導你將面餅揉上8分鍾,揉到與「孩子的皮膚一樣光滑」為止
。
瑪塞勒是真正的烹飪家。我愛她,愛她烹飪的方法,因為我也想用同樣
的方法來教學。我希望我的學生對觀念有深刻、完整的認識。要做到這一點
,我們不是將調料攪在一起,自動製造出作業、問題、多項選擇測驗,而是
通過閱讀、討論、分組學習和寫作,將學到的內容與我們的生活相聯系,開
發出多個視角。
這就是教學。它有清晰的目標和明確的日常計劃,但是,它允許每個孩
子富有想像力,它允許在一個坐滿開動腦筋的孩子的教室里,出現一些與之
相吻合的意外。要很好地完成這一點,你不能遵循課本的章節和評論,而要
制定理解目標的計劃,這些目標相互關聯,非常復雜,並且時不時能讓學生
們聯繫到自己的生活體驗。為了保持教學所需的精力和創造力,老師需要專
業的同志情誼。如果只有自己充滿激情,卻沒有人分享,這是一件讓人沮喪
的事情。身處尷尬的處境,卻無人可傾訴,這更讓人無比痛苦。教學帶來的
這些挑戰,最終會破壞你我繼續前行的意志。
當我自認為這種以學生為中心的教學方式正是切爾西市威廉斯南方中學
的期望時,我在這所中學完成了自己第一年的教學工作。但是,我在做這些
事情的時候,日子非常不好過,最終,我發現我在這所學校里失去了真正的
自我。
