英语经典阅读的打算
一、把握良机,渲染英语课堂气氛,寓教于乐。
小学生对初次看到的、听到的事物常留下深刻的印象,新奇有趣就更让人难以忘怀,教师善于利用“第一次”,会使之成为学生学习的有效动力。想一想,英语教师第一次走进课堂,就对孩子们说:“同学们,今天我们开始学英语。”给孩子们的印象是多少的平淡。而换一种方式,在黑板上用优美的英语字体写上“Welcome to English!”;录音机里播放欢快的英语歌曲;再来一段教师的英语自我介绍;请学生谈谈英语在我们生活中的用处(如有各种英语说明书,长大后可以出国留学等)。这样的效果会深深地印在学生的脑海里,使他们感受到英语离我们的生活很近,学英语是一件多么有趣而又有益的事。 当学生开口说第一句英语,第一次羞涩的用英语和老师打招呼,第一次和同学表演对话,第一次唱英文歌曲,第一次做英文游戏……这些新奇、喜悦、自豪、快乐的情感培养了学生浓厚的学习兴趣,无数个培养兴趣的机会会随着这一个个“第一次”悄然而至。
二、充分研究教材,在各个教学环节中巧妙设计。
教师对学习材料和内容的处理,一般是由易到难,逐步深入,同时要考虑到对学生学习兴趣的一定刺激程度,使学生的思想始终处于积极状态,使他们的兴趣逐步升级。其次增加教学环节中的趣味性,教学手段的多样化也有助于使学生的兴趣得以保持。呈现语言材料前,教师要想办法为学生创设新颖可信的情景,由此吸引学生注意力,再由该情景过渡到课本所展现的情景中,同时,合理地运用实物、图片、挂图、简笔画、现场录音、多媒体课件等,让所要呈现的情景更加直观而富有情趣。比如在进行课文教授时,教师可用从网上下载的听说读写的英语材料、采用自制课件来进行教学,通过声、光、电的完美结合,用生动的形象、真实的画面、优美动人的语言和音乐,来丰富学生的想象力,刺激学生的兴趣和求知欲,增强学生的记忆效果,从而实现教学目标,达到教学目的。例如在教“Do you like bananas?”这一内容时,笔者就运用实物展示、课件辅助教学的办法,让学生利用生活中常见的食物进行操练,很好的激发了学生的兴趣。丰富多彩的课外活动是培养学生英语兴趣的重要途径,但居于重要地位的则是成功的英语课堂教学。我们应在课堂教学中,使学生于主人自居,积极、主动、大胆、愉快地参与英语课堂教学活动,在各种操练和交流中提高听、说、读、写能力,激发积极学习的情感。
三、 以人为本,发挥学生主体性。
教师应该把小学生看作是具有成长潜能的生命体,其内部蕴藏着主体发展的机制,认识到教学的目的在于开发学生的潜力,驱动其主体的发展机制,使之成长、成熟。“以人为本”的理念在教育界越来越深入人心。在教育过程中,以学生为中心,充分发挥学生的主体性已成为广大教师所热衷的教学方法。母语习得研究及外语学习研究均证实:外语教学中的重点不再应该是 “我们该教些什么”,而应是“我们如何在课堂教学中创造这些条件” 。新课程标准强调的是学生“能干什么”,因此,我们在教学过程中应充分体现学生的主动性和创造性,增强学生使用英语的能力。
正如布鲁纳所说的:“教学过程是一种提出问题和解决问题的持续不断的活动。”因此我们应多为学生创造思考的空间。这就要求教师要善于引导学生思考、讨论、回答问题,而不是限制学生的思维,被动地跟着老师走.例如,在教授“Ask the way”一内容时,笔者采用多媒体呈现迷路、问路的几个现场情景,然后提出问题:假设是你,将如何进行问路、指路?学生分小组讨论(Group-work),接着每组向全班汇报,汇集各组方式后,再与教材中学生们的方法作比较。在学会技能之后,还让学生联系本校、本地区的具体地理情况,自编自演问路的情景。在教学中,学生非常积极,“Ask the classroom” “Ask the bookshop”,还有的“Ask the W.C.”,气氛特别活跃。这样一来,就充分调动了学生的主体性和创造性,帮助他们成为学习的主人。在课堂教学时,把学生置于主体地位,使学生很自然地用英语思考、很积极地进行英语语言输出,学习兴趣自然而来。
四、建立新型师生关系,以情施教,情感交融。
师生关系是以基本的人性观为前提的。现代教育观认为人的本性是积极的、向上的,具有生长与进取的潜力,教育的目的是开发人的潜能、促进人的健全发展。因此,我们必须建立新型的师生关系。
在我的课堂教学中,“微笑”是贯穿始终的表情,通常我面带微笑环视教室走进课堂,随着一声“Good morning”或轻松的“Hi”,便开始了课堂教学。随着课堂教学的开展,自然的运用身体语言来配合教学,如通过面部表情去吸引学生,用点头或幽默动作给学生以鼓励、勇气或提示。教get up ,go to sleep这类词组时,教师先用夸张的动作引出,使学生很快就理解了,然后再让学生在边学边动中操练,而在教授happy, sad, angry时,我则充分利用了面部表情,夸张的表情和动作,既加深了学生的记忆,又创造了轻松的课堂气氛。 在英语教学中,为了培养学生的实际交际能力,往往有许多的小对话、小故事供学生表演,而这些对话中也总是含有一定的情感因素,教师应把这些内容的情感通过自己巧妙的加工、提炼而展示出来,给学生以情感上的感染,使学生在接受认识信息的同时,接受相应的情感因素的影响,达到以情生情、以情促知的效果。 在上三年级的教材时,有一篇信息材料是关于国旗的。我充分抓住学生爱足球的天性,利用这点再展示国旗的图片,学生便会很快把它们的读法记熟。
对学生的关心,会激起学生学习的动力。对学生鼓励,会引发学生学习的信心。老师要不吝表扬和鼓励,尤其对于一些成绩不太理想的学生,要多肯定他们做得好的地方,及时发现他们的闪光点,增强他们的信心。如每天的作业,不仅是学生巩固知识的场所,更是我和他们交流的重要渠道,有进步了我会写上Come on!表现优秀的写上Very good! Excellent! 退步的或有错误的写上Can I help you? 只写片语却能让学生感受到教师是关心他、注意他的,他们也会在作业本上写上Thank you!等和我交流。
总之,英语学习,兴趣为先。学生语言能力的高低在很大程度上受制于英语学习兴趣的程度。很难想象失去了兴趣还能怎样培养交际能力。所以,作为英语教师,一方面要向学生传授语言知识并使他们掌握技能,另一方面更要重视培养和保持学生对这门学科的兴趣,获得事半功倍的效果。这样才能真正把新课程标准提出的要求落到实处。
2. 英语作文。 简述阅读现状及你对阅读的看法和打算 阅读现状:一些人不经常阅读。有些人说没
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. 一篇英语作文,写就自己如何有效地做好英语阅读的方法。
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.
英语学习,包括听、说、读、写多种技能的培养,其中最基本的应是阅读能力了。在现在的英语考试中,对阅读能力的要求很高。阅读题的分数在整个试卷中占有很大的比重,而这一部分得分的多少,往往决定了学生考分的高低。英语的阅读内容涉及的范围较广,有关于历史的也有关现实生活的,有故事性的文章,也有经济、科技、军事等方面的文章,这样的阅读内容要求学生有比较广泛的知识面、兴趣和较强的分析理解判断能力。可以说,阅读理解能力的提高是一个学生综合能力提高的过程,而要想提高学生的英语阅读能力,并非易事,先要弄清影响学生阅读理解能力的原因。通过对学生的调查发现,下面这些是影响学生阅读理解能力的主要因素:1. 词汇量少,对词语理解不准确,不全面。2. 背景知识的缺乏,影响对整篇文章的理解。3. 对英语表达的思维模式和句子结构不熟悉,造成文章理解的困难。4. 不良的阅读习惯,既影响阅读速度,又妨碍学生获取信息的准确性。5. 缺乏掌握基本的阅读技巧,阅读效果不佳。找出了影响学生阅读能力的主要因素后,就应针对这些方面采取措施,加强专项训练来提高学生的阅读能力。
4. 求帮写一篇英语作文,阅读经典的重要性
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
参考翻译:
现在人们已经公认为阅读经典对于年轻人的个性成长是重要而且有益的。就我而言,没有任何事比阅读那些诸如孔子,曹雪芹等人的名著更能让我兴奋了。我相信像红楼梦,三国演义这样的著作能够极大地提升一个人的艺术品位,加深对中国文化史的了解。
然而,现代社会有各种各样的诱惑。和肥皂剧,体育比赛,视频游戏比较,经典文学显得有些跟不上潮流且需要耗费大量的时间。在书店里,快餐式的阅读材料代替了经典,年轻的作者凭借敏感的酷酷的形式赢得大量人的追捧。
我们大学生应当充分认识到阅读经典对于开扩我们的视野所起的作用。因此,我们应当阅读学习先辈创造的财富,吸收经典中的精华。我们还应当向公众宣传经典文学的重要性,那样更多的人才能加入到阅读经典的行列当中。
5. 英语学习计划怎么写
第一:词汇记忆计划,每天给自己制定学习,背诵单词的数量,并且坚持每天记背,在背诵单词的时候,切记要弄清楚所有记背词汇的具体含义,搭配,词组的延伸内容,这样的话,你背诵一个单词,就可以达到几十个词汇记忆的要求。
第二:阅读计划,每天阅读一定量的英语资料,并且坚持每天对里面经典的词汇和词组进行笔记和识记,这样的话,你的以后在写作的时候,你就可以有的放矢的写更多精彩的句子了。
第三:听力计划,每天学习听不错的英语听力资料,比如英文美剧,英剧,英语新闻,英语散文等等有用的英语学习资料,但是切记要弄懂一组英语听力的真正内容,这样才能真正的提高你英语学习的能力。
第四:英语写作计划,每天你可以根据自己的学习能力和时间来制定,你可以选择写英文日记,如果你很有时间,你也可以写英文周记,如果时间不是很充裕的时候,还有就是根据自己的英语水平选择恰当的英语写作方式,可以从写句子到写文章,不定的选择和学习。
第五:语法计划,如果你是学生党,一定的语法练习是很重要的,可以每天一个题型,你也可以每天一套试卷,因为每天练习英语语法试卷,对你自己以后的做题拿高分也是很有帮助的。记得做好错题分析,找到自己的原因,然后加油改进,一定可以成功的。
第六:复习和预习计划,每天对自己所学的英语内容进行实用的复习和预习,这样的方式能让自己的英语学习更有底气,很牢实。
6. 英语阅读能力的培养计划
英语阅读能力的培养计划
一,英语阅读能力对英语学习的重要性
对于将英语作为外语的中国人来说,英语阅读不仅是英语学习的目的,而且是英语学习的主要手段和途径。英语阅读技能不仅是最重要的语言技能之一,也是学生必须掌握的学习技能之一。英语阅读能力是发展其他语言技能的基础和前提。
二,英语阅读能力的分析
阅读是一种言语活动。在这过程中所表现出来的能力,被称为“阅读能力”或“阅读理解能力。”要具备这种能力,还必须具备丰富的知识结构。一个拥有社会、文化、风土人情、天文地理、历史等方面的知识的人,在读有关内容的英文材料时,要比不具备这方面知识的人轻松得多,理解的也会透彻得多。他不仅能够理解文中所说的内容,而具还能够将文中所讲的内容与文中未讲的有关内容联系起来。如果不具备这些知识,他就不可能达到对文章的透彻理解。
要想进行有效的阅读,除了具备上述的能力外,还要具备篇章的知识。例如,要尽快知道报纸的大概内容,就首先要了解版面的内容,然后找到感兴趣的版面,先读标题,后确定要读的内容。我们要想了解全书的内容,首先要阅读内容提要,然后阅读目录和前言。所有这一切都清楚地表明,篇章知识是有效阅读必不可少的一个因素,是阅读能力的重要组成部分。
三,英语阅读的方法
1. 导读 ( Preparation for reading )
导读是在阅读文章之前的准备。阅读材料涉及到天文地理、历史人物、环境保护、自然灾害、工作生活、文学艺术、科学技术、体育卫生、人权、政治等各个领域。体裁有记叙、书信、日记、小品、戏剧、传记、诗歌、说明文等。在导读过程中,根据阅读材料的不同内容和不同体裁,适当地查阅一些与文章有关的背景知识,帮助了解阅读材料的内容,将大大激发对材料的兴趣,明显提高阅读的`效果。
例如在读题为American English一文时,可以利用收音机或录音机,有选择地转录BBC和VOA的英语节目,听原汁原味的美国英语和英国英语。听完之后判断并注意英美英语在发音、拼写和用词上的差异。然后把这些差异一一列出来进行比较。
A.在词汇方面的差异:
美国:gas, baggage, mail, movie,
英国:petrol, luggage, post, film,
B.在拼写方面的差异:
美国:check, jail, color, favor, center,
英国:cheque, gaol, colour, favour, centre,
C.在发音方面的差异:
美国:again [ 'gein], clerk [klз:k], dance [d?ns]
英国:again [ 'gen], clerk [kla:k], dance [da:ns]
2.掠读 ( Skimming )
掠读是由阅读目的所决定的。在进行掠读时,不需要详尽地理解所读材料,只是了解阅读材料的基本信息,快速浏览全篇,领会主旨或抓住主要内容。可以跳过细节,跳过不重要的思想和例子。
掠读是一个人可能达到的最快的阅读速度。例如在课外阅读时,想在五分钟内了解一篇文章的大概内容,或者想在考试前几分钟内将要考的内容再复习一遍,都可以用掠读的方法。
掠读通常可以通过以下几个步骤来完成。
(1) 抓住段落特点
每一篇文章都是由各个段落组成的,而每一个段落都是提纲的一个要点,只要抓住了提纲的要点,也就抓住了整个段落的意思,才能迅速地获取阅读信息。
(2) 抓主题句
一个段落只有一个主题思想,主题句是表达段落中心思想的句子,它是一个段落中关键性的句子。抓住了主题句,就抓住了段落的中心思想,就抓住了段落的纲。主题句的位置可能有三种情况:一是主题句位于段首;二是主题句位于段末;三是主题句位于段中。主题句位于句首的情况最为普遍,通常为段落的第一句或第二句,找出每段的主题句,进行归纳总结,就能增加理解的深度。
3.检索读 ( Scanning )
同掠读一样,检索读也是一种快速阅读的方法。两者的不同之处在于:掠读是从阅读材料中获得大意,其目的是了解阅读内容的概要。检索读是从阅读材料中寻找某些特定的信息。掠读是事先对阅读材料一无所知,而检索读则是在对阅读材料有所了解的情况下进行的。
检索读的步骤如下:
(1)学生要时刻清楚地记着自己要寻找的特定信息。
(2)学生应迅速沿着文章自上而下扫视,时刻期待所找信息从未读部分显现出来。
(3)若找到信息,应该仔细看一看,证实所找信息是否确定。在检索读时,心中带着问题,看一看文中是不有问题的答案。
4.猜词性阅读
在课外阅读过程中,特别是在掠读或检索读时,如果遇到不懂的词或句子,手头又没有辞典的情况下,怎么办?这时可利用上下文线索猜测词义。要培养高效的阅读能力就要学会利用生词的上下文去寻找猜词懂意的线索。后文的阅读往往能澄清整段的意思,对整段意思的理解又反过来为理解生词提供了整体背景,使猜测有了可寻的线索。猜词性阅读可以通过以下几种方法来进行:
(1)根据构词法理解词义;
While early settlers had killed bison for food, now the killing became more widespread.
widespread是一个合成词。把它分开成为wide, spread就可知其意。
(2)根据上下文理解:
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.
当不理解这个词时, 可根据后面的解释来理解这是 a type of cattle.
(3)根据句了结构理解:
Thus one simple fact, a change in the number of bison, had an effect on the whole wildlife chain of the plaons.
通过分析句子成分可知,a change…bison是fact的同位语。主语是fact,谓语是had an effect on …根据上文所述可理解此句。
5.细读 ( Close reading )
扫清语言障碍是细读的首要任务,在经历了前面的掠读和检索读后,应该对阅读材料的大意和思想有了整体的理解,但是对于一些句子和单词的意思,也就是细节,还不是很清楚,这时就需要细读或称为精读。
细读的过程包括理解生词词义、结构表达的意义及句子表达的语法意义。可以对句子的结构进行语法分析和判断。这样做可以扫清在阅读过程中的语言障碍。然后把文章的中心提出来,进行分析、总结和概括,并揭示各分论点之间的内在关系,深入到课文的内部结构中去理解文章,理解作者意图,掌握文章的中心思想。
综上所述,英语阅读能力都是在大量阅读实践活动中培养的。因此,阅读能力的培养需要各种形式。阅读能力的全面发展要求系统化。大家需要养成良好的阅读习惯和好的阅读技能,并持之以恒,坚持不懈。培养英语阅读技能不仅要充分挖掘快速阅读能力的潜力,而且要注意提高阅读技能和消除阅读技能的障碍。只有熟练掌握英语阅读技能的学生才能高效率地阅读。这样的阅读活动,不但可以激发阅读的兴趣和动机,满足学习英语的成就感;而且还可以培养发现问题、解决问题的能力和用英语思考、用英语交际的能力和自学英语的能力。
[原创]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
[原创]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.

[原创]BEC高级--让我难忘的考试
又一年的BEC考试又要开始了.很多人急着复习备考了.平心而论,她在对测试非英语为母语的考生运用英语作为工具进行商务活动能力的方面还是比较有说服力和权威性的,所以对于将来有志进入(或已经进入)外企进行国际贸易的人员来说,这项考试还是值得一试的.特别是BEC HIGHER, 她对英语综合能力的评估力度相对更大一些.
由于BEC考试有她特有的特点,报考她的人也越来越多.但是也正是由于她将英语和商务结合到一起,致使考试难度加大.无论是对于没有经过英语专业训练的非英语专业考生,还是对于学习英语专业但没有商务知识的考生来说都是比较困难的.尤其如果是没有正式进入工作岗位,只是在校学生,他们对BEC高级商务实务不是很了解,在解决具体考试内容的时候,就会有一定难度.
[原创]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?
[原创]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
native. whatever a native says, its right, if you follow,
you will become more like them.
alright, im sick of this long ass sh*t, enough for you to
get my point...(or maybe i need to write more?)
;7. 怎么制定学英语的计划
制定学英语的计划需要先明确目标,制定每天的任务再落实,再解决不懂的问题。
制定英语学习计划是学习英语的第一个首要事项,没有计划,那么就不可能执行,计划制定的不可行,不准确,那么英语学习计划就不能长久执行,学习效果自然会大打折扣。
怎样制定英语学习计划呢,需要英语学习目标,英语学习资源,英语学习计划制定,计划执行。大家要明白学习英语绝不是看一部动画片,不是一蹴而就的事。要想不下一番苦功夫、不费一点力气就能学好英语,那是绝对办不到的。

8. 英语名著阅读的意义和价值
1.提升英语学习兴趣
初中学生对英语学习的态度已经开始分化,有的学生对英语单词的识记和英语句型的背诵开始产生排斥情绪,有的学生对英语毫无感情,唯一的兴趣点便是英语老师课堂教学的一些技巧。面对这种状况,教师不妨引进英语经典名著,用英语经典故事激发学生学习英语的兴趣。英语经典故事是最真实的英语语言环境,学生在阅读时可以沉浸在轻松愉快的氛围中,与作者进行心灵对话,进行情感互动。而且学生如果能读懂故事情节,也是对自己阅读能力的肯定,从而产生自我效能感,以更强的自信投入阅读中。阅读经典,可以让学生感受真正意义上的英语语言环境,有利学生英语口语的学习和语法思维的形成。
3.提高阅读写作能力
英语阅读写作能力的提高需要学生掌握更多的词汇,阅读经典名著则可以不断增加积累语言知识。初中生在阅读经典名著开始时可能会有一定的难度,可以筛选出英汉双语版,这样学生在英汉对照阅读时可以猜测出单词的意思,减少阅读障碍,经典名著有很多的场景描写,对于喜欢了解故事情节的初中生来说显得枯燥一些,这就需要老师给予正确的引导。阅读名著不要贪多贪快,要对文中的描写进行揣摩赏析,甚至要摘抄背诵。经典名著语言灵活,句型多变,蕴含着更加丰富的语法内容。学生经过一段时间的阅读可以积累丰富的语言特点,经过自身的加工整合,在写作时可以随时迁移,提高英语写作能力。

书摘:
我星期六下午最喜欢阅读的是玛塞勒·哈杉写的书,她是烹饪传统意大
利北部食品的行家,她做的东西很好吃,她的文字很直白,充满了幽默色彩
。玛塞勒坚信要享受烹饪过程,留意每个细节,才能做出真正好吃的东西。
这就意味着她必须反对偷工减料,对调味料的选择非常挑剔,通过认真判断
和观察,而不是完全遵照书上所说的那样设定时间和温度。简而言之,她要
求她的读者——学习意大利传统烹饪方法的学生——真正沉浸在烹饪中,而
不去理会厨房料理台上的混乱。
玛塞勒描述了做通心粉的两种方法,一种用电子机器,另一种用手和擀
面杖。在谈到前一种方法时她说:“不要被那种从一头放进鸡蛋和面粉,另
外一头就能挤出你想要的通心粉的机器所引诱。”她描写如何手工制作通心
粉的过程足足用了5页,而她的方法并不简单,其中“大概”、“你觉得”
等字眼超过了一般烹饪书里的数量。但是,她需要你敏锐的观察力和判断力
,例如,她指导你将面饼揉上8分钟,揉到与“孩子的皮肤一样光滑”为止
。
玛塞勒是真正的烹饪家。我爱她,爱她烹饪的方法,因为我也想用同样
的方法来教学。我希望我的学生对观念有深刻、完整的认识。要做到这一点
,我们不是将调料搅在一起,自动制造出作业、问题、多项选择测验,而是
通过阅读、讨论、分组学习和写作,将学到的内容与我们的生活相联系,开
发出多个视角。
这就是教学。它有清晰的目标和明确的日常计划,但是,它允许每个孩
子富有想像力,它允许在一个坐满开动脑筋的孩子的教室里,出现一些与之
相吻合的意外。要很好地完成这一点,你不能遵循课本的章节和评论,而要
制定理解目标的计划,这些目标相互关联,非常复杂,并且时不时能让学生
们联系到自己的生活体验。为了保持教学所需的精力和创造力,老师需要专
业的同志情谊。如果只有自己充满激情,却没有人分享,这是一件让人沮丧
的事情。身处尴尬的处境,却无人可倾诉,这更让人无比痛苦。教学带来的
这些挑战,最终会破坏你我继续前行的意志。
当我自认为这种以学生为中心的教学方式正是切尔西市威廉斯南方中学
的期望时,我在这所中学完成了自己第一年的教学工作。但是,我在做这些
事情的时候,日子非常不好过,最终,我发现我在这所学校里失去了真正的
自我。
