关于志愿者英语

Every day, we can see the figures of the volunteers. Actually, they have

formed a kind of scenery of the city. Some people hold that volunteering is

merely a waste of time, because the volunteers have no gains with pains.

However, I believe that doing voluntary is quite rewarding.

In the first place, we can put into practice what we have learnt before,

for instance, when we were asked by a foreigner about the way to some place, we

could practice our oral foreign language, it’s definitely a good opportunity to

express ourselves in a foreign language correctly and clearly.

In the second place, we could make a lot of new friends while we are

volunteering As a proverb says, “At home one relies on one’s parents and outside

on one’s friends”, so it is never a bad thing to have lots of friends.

Finally, helping others is a good way to make you feel happy and when you

help others solve a problem successful, you will feel fulfillment. In this

sense, we reap a bountiful spiritual harvest by doing voluntary work.

On the whole, we can benefit a lot by engaging ourselves in the voluntary

work. Therefore, I suggest those that have abundant spare time registering as

volunteers for the welfare for the public.

篇5:有关压力英语初一

全文共 1232 字

+ 加入清单

Pressure seems to be a natural part in our daily life in this competitive

society. Like it or not there is always pressure of one kind or another. And it

seems there is hardly any way to avoid it or get rid of it. Moreover, as the

pace of modern life continues to quicken, pressure seems to be on the increase

all the time.

Different people have different ideas about pressure. Some hold that

pressure is something very vicious. If there is too much of it, it will lead to

the decline of ones physical and mental health. So they are always complaining

about it or trying to flee from it. They think, only relaxation, the opposite of

pressure, is what we should desire. On the other hand, others argue that

pressure is not as bad as is often thought. In fact a certain amount of pressure

is essential to provide motivation and meaning to our life. It is pressure that

propels our progress and contributes to our success.

Personally, Im in favor of the latter idea. I believe that a little

pressure is certainly an important incentive in life. It is only when the

pressure gets out of control can it lead to poor performance and bad health.

Since it is impossible to avoid pressure, certainly there is no sense trying to

do so or complaining about it.

篇9:关于代沟英语作文高中

全文共 1710 字

The generation gap is unavoidable in almost every family, which brings

about a number of conflicts in a family. In my opinion, to limit the bad effects

of the generation gap, each family should use the following three methods:

First of all, it is important that family members discuss openly about

their pleasures or sadness in childhood in family gatherings. This activity does

not only create a close relationship but also help build up understanding among

all members. For instance, once children are aware that their grandparents and

even their parents did not have a good upbringing during their hard childhood,

they will stop complaining about the previous generations’ obsoleteness. In the

meantime, once old people realize young people are nurtured in a new modern way,

it is easy for them to be tolerant of young people’s new habits or hobbies.

Secondly, people of each generation should not develop a very high feeling

about themselves. In order to do that, they should not think that they are the

only right people in their family because each person has his or her own

limitations. Teenagers would realize that their parents have to struggle with

pain to support them financially, and they would stop rebelling their

strictness. Parents would realize that their children’s new style does no harm

to their studies and stop imposing their own unsuitable standards on their

children.

Finally, the generation gap and its bad effects can be limited if all

members cooperate to build up a close-knit family relationship and a harmonious

atmosphere in which they are open and tolerant of each other. I strongly believe

that each family, by doing that, can enjoy a cozy atmosphere with minimum

interference by the generation gap.

It goes without saying that english plays an important role in our modern

society. english is an international language. wherever you go, you can hear

english spoken by many people.

From this point of view, it is true that english is important to our daily

life. learning english is like learning to swim or learning to play ball. our

primary trouble is that we have tackled the study of language from the wrong

end. we are like theman who thinks he can learn to swim only by reading books

about swimming. in actuality, we learn by doing. the grammatical rules are

valuable as we plunge into the language and need some assistance. in the same

way, advanced instructions about swimming are helpful as we learn something from

actual experience in the water. but reading books never makes a swimmer and

learning rules never makes a practical linguist. the regular procedure in

learning english involves listening first, to be followed by speaking. then

comes reading, and finally the writing of the language. the way you learn

english is much the same as the way you learned your own language.

First of all you must listen and then repeat and repeat until you can use

the language easily. in other words, you have to build up language habits in

english just as you build up english habits in your own language. to sum up, we

must bear in mind that nobody can learn to swim for you. nobody can learn to

play ball for you. nobody can learn english for you. its up to you. you must

learn for yourself and you will learn if you really want to and are willing to

practice.

篇14:2024初中英语教师个人工作计划

全文共 2868 字

+ 加入清单

一、指导思想

目前初三的英语教学中,因种种因素,造就了相当一部分英语学习比较困难,并伴有的差生。因此对这部分学生加强心理指导,培养培养的心理素质,帮助他们尽快走出困境,成为学习的主人,就显得十分必要。学科教学是学校教育的主渠道、主阵地,学科学习是学生的主导活动,学生大量的心理困惑都产生于学习过程中,各种人格品质也在学科的学习中得到发展。英语作为语言学科,在教学中加强德育及心理方面渗透工作,坚持以人为本,坚持教育创新,坚持______,坚持内涵发展,以行为习惯养成教育为重点,以加强细节教育。

二、工作要点

对于向学生进行思想教育、品德教育、科学文化教育和心理素质教育,在本学期的教学中加强德育工作如下:

(一)有敬业精神,热爱学生。

要用自己的爱来唤起和培养学生对学习的爱,从而引伸到对生活的爱。其实,英语课堂教学不只是语言知识的学习和操练,而是一种温馨的情感交流、智慧潜能的开发,社会__交际能力的早期培养,是师生共同创造精神生活的活动。因此教师在教学中,要尊重学生的人格,建立平等、互相尊重的和谐师生关系,使学生在宽松、融洽、愉快的氛围中进行学习的同时,品德得到培养,性格得到完善。

(二)创新教育让学困生自主学习

传统的英语教学模式中,学生自使自终是被动者,即使是一些很有天赋的好学生。久而久之,也缺乏了创造力。不少学生的学习参与意识差,不愿主动思考和提出问题,更不主动解决问题。依赖于教师现成的说教答案,因此,教师必须更新教学观念,树立心的学生观和教学观。我认为,新的学生观最本质的内容就是在教学中真正能够树立合作教学的观念新的学生观念作根本的出发点就是尊重学生,在英语教学汇总充分发挥每个学生的主体作用,使他们真正成为学习的主人。

(三)渗透情感与学生建立良好的师生关系

情感具有迁移作用。亲其师,则信其道。学生对老师的情感能改善学生对所学学科的倾向性。只要师生建立起相互信赖的感情,学生对老师所提出的要求就容易接受。我们的教学活动能就比较顺利地开展。学困生并非自然固有。学困生渴求得到尊重与关心,信任与理解。教师只有用真诚的爱才能使他们感到温暖,消除自卑,树立信心,才能使他们自尊、自爱、奋发进取。我认为,对于学困生,只要我们真诚地给予关心和帮助,他们也会以爱和敬意来回报我们。他们是不会让老师失望的。

(四)赏识教育让学困生树立自信心

自尊心是一个人对自身的评价,对自身存在的价值和态度的体现。任何学生都有自尊心和荣誉感,每当自己在学习上取得点滴成绩时,总希望得到老师的表扬,学困生更是如此。差生由于羞怯心理,往往在课堂上不敢开口,因此,我对学困生从不大声呵斥,而是具体深入地分析他们之所以差的原因,然后对症下药,循循善诱,在加强辅导的同时,根据学生的发展情况进行有弹性的鼓励。实践证明:利用语言表扬、神情暗示、肢体示意等多种方法,给予学困生以的鼓励是行之有效的,能使他们对自己充满自信,树立学好英语的信心。

2022初中英语教师个人工作计划【篇六】 2022 junior high school English teacher personal work plan [Chapter 6]

一、指导思想

在本学期的英语教学中,坚持以下面的教学理念为指导:第一,切实地了解学生的真实水平,注意衔接,尽快使学生适应我的英语教学;第二,教学要面向全体学生,关注学生的情感,激发他们学习英语的兴趣;第三,以学生为主体,尊重个体差异,因材施教;第四,在新课标的指导下,倡导学生体验参与学习,完成设计目标;第五,注重过程性评价,建立能鼓励学生自主学习能力发展提高的综合评价体系。

二、学生情况分析

本届学生在英语基础方面很薄弱,由于在以前学习英语的过程中,没有很详细全面地学习音标,基本的音标和字母拼读都没有掌握好。在词汇,语法规则等方面存在很多缺漏。所以,在听、说、读、写这四项技能上,学生水平存在很大差异。

另外,学生在学习策略和情感态度方面也存在诸多需要进一步解决的问题。例如:许多学生不能明确学习英语的目的,学习缺乏主动性、自觉性;大多数同学没有养成良好的学习习惯,不能做好课前预习和课后复习工作,学习没有计划性和策略性,也不注意知识的积累和巩固。

最后,学生对新教材缺乏一定程度上的了解,还不适应新课改指导下的一些教学方法。在课堂上,习惯像以往被动地接受所传授的知识,不善于发现和总结语言规律,学习的主体性不突出。

三、教材与教辅的分析

1、内容与结构

每一单元除了关注阅读、写作、听力、视听说等语言实践活动,还关注语言知识、情感态度、文化意识和学习策略等。其中,教材加强了文化意识的提高和学生学习策略的培养,是相较于以前教材很大的不同。

2、教材的特点

首先突出学习者的发展,包括注重学习策略的培养和使用;注重提高学生的语言认知能力;为教师和学生提供个性化的选择;其次努力提高学生用英语进行思维和表达的能力。具体为:为学生提供更多的体验真实语言的机会;精心设计教学活动,使学生看到明确的目标和明确的成果;为学生发展语言运用能力提供详尽的语言支持;重视复现。

3、教材的重难点

该套教材强调学生综合语言运用能力的培养和提高,所以重点在于培养学生用英语获取信息、处理信息的能力;用英语分析问题、解决问题的能力;用英语进行思维和表达的能力。难点在于学生在情感态度和学习策略上的改变,达到用英语思维和表达的目标。

4、教学目标

⑴总体目标:激发学生学习英语的兴趣,树立自信心。在整个教学过程中,让学生有丰富的生活常识、多文化背景的积累,并形成正确人生观、价值观,有积极的情感态度和跨文化的交际能力。同时培养自主学习能力,积累学习方法。

⑵具体目标:结合学生基础知识过于薄弱的实际,在教学刚开始的阶段,注意高一和初中知识的衔接,例如复习音标和字母拼读规律,积累基础词汇、词语搭配、句型,熟悉不同单元呈现的语法规则,掌握实际用法。希望第一学期后,学生能培养学习的兴趣,养成较好的学习习惯,对基础知识有一定的掌握。

5、教学措施

⑴让学生每天积累几个单词,利用“互测及教师抽查”及时检查,保证效果并坚持下去。

⑵认真贯彻晨读制度:规定晨读内容,加强监督,保证晨读效果。

⑶实行过程性评价,调动学生积极性,通过不同方式的检测,让进步的同学体会到成就感,让落后的同学找出差距,感受压力。由此在班里形成浓厚的学习氛围,培养学生健康向上的人格和竞争意识。

⑷关注学生的情感,营造宽松、民主、和谐的教学氛围。

⑸在教学中根据目标并结合教学内容,创造性地设计贴近学生实际的教学活动,吸引和组织他们积极参与。学生通过思考、调查、讨论、交流和合作等方式,学习和使用英语,完成学习任务。

⑹经常进行教学反思,适时调整教学方法,符合学生的真实情况,利于学生的有效性学习。

从所任课班级实际情况和本身条件出发,认真进行思考和改正。多关注学科教研的发展,多多听课向有经验的老师虚心学习,取之所长,多和同事交流探讨,交换教学思想和方法,避己所短,不断进步。积极参与学科的相关课题研究,撰写论文,参加教研组,备课组的教研活动。

篇17:怀念的英语作文初中

全文共 2558 字

When memory began for me, my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man

with thick hair becoming gray. He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended

in a slightly flattened tip. Once he explained seriously to me that he got that

flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose.

The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the prodnct of

a kindly and humorous nature. The years of work which had bent his shoulders had

never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke.

Everywhere he went, "Gramp" made friends easily. At the end of half an hour

you felt you had known him all your life. I soon learned that he hated to give

orders , but that when he had to, he tried to make his orders sound like

suggestions.

One July morning, as he was leaving to go to the cornfield, he said :

"Edwin, you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do that.

" Then he drove away with his horses.

The day passed, and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes. Evening

came and the potatoes were still in the field. Gramp, dusty and tired, led the

horses to get their drink.

"How many bags of potatoes were there?" Gramp inquired. "I dont know.

"

"How many potatoes did you pick up?"

"I didnt pick any. " "Not any! Why not?"

"You said I could pick, them up if I wanted to. You didnt say I had to.

"

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget: when Gramp

said I could if I wanted to, he meant that I should want to.

Gram hated cruelty and injustice. The injustices of history, even those of

a thousand years before, angered her as much as the injustices of her own

day.

She also had a deep love of beauty. When she was almost seventy-five, and

had gone to live with one of her daughters, she spent a delightful morning

washing dishes because, as she said, the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave

her pleasure. The bird, the flowers, the clouds-all that was beautiful around

her- pleased her. She was like the father of the French painter, Millet, who

used to gather grass and show it to his son , saying , "See how beautif ul this

is ! "

In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that

are of value. The softer virtues are considered unnecessary. Men and women

struggling daily to earn a living are unable, even for a moment, to forget the

business of preserving their lives. Only unusual people, like my grandparents,

manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle.

Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to

September in the wonderful days of summer and youth.
