+ 加入清单The first impression that the boy Tom gave me was a naughty, mischievous boy, just as what Aunt Polly said. He never lacked the curiosity to explore new places, sometimes even risking his life, which I did not dare to! There were some great adventures of him with Huck or Joe. Huck was an orphan, and Joe was Tom’s classmate. Everybody in the small village knew Tom, mainly for Tom’s—you know kind of gallantry!
I should tell you the adventures. The origin of the attempt was that Tom and Huck was getting curious to the world of outside, and they made an effort to run-away. However, when they were in the graveyard, some people appeared. They were Injun Joe, Huck’s father, named Potter, and a doctor. Tom and Huck quickly hid behind the bush, and they saw them digging the coffins out, probably finding something valuable. They did not realize that what they witnessed was a murder! Tom and Huck were extremely afraid, and they ran away rapidly. On the court, Potter was being accused of the murderer; however, Tom declared that it was Injun Joe who used Potter’s knife to kill the young doctor. On hearing this, Injun Joe broke the glass and ran away! This scared everybody, and Tom’s brother, Sid, said that he always heard Tom mumbling something when he was asleep, and sometimes even shouting. Indeed, the accident was fluttering everybody in the town with fear.
Before, Tom once fell in love with a girl called Lawrence. And he showed off in front of the girl, trying to win the girl’s heart, but Lawrence ignored Tom’s appearance, and it made Tom sad. At present, Tom went for another girl for Becky. Yet, when Becky knew that Tom once loved Lawrence (it was probably childish thoughts), she refused Tom. Tom got so depressed that he resolutely committed the second escape.
He made contact with Huck and Joe that afternoon, about where to meet, the code words of meeting, and the route, and so on and so forth. Each of them brought some food, and Huck brought some pipes (remind that Huck had no real home, and I had no ideas where he got the things). At midnight, they met at the place, and they took a raft down the river. After drifting for about several hours, they finally reached the destiny. There they lived for about several weeks, and while everybody thought they were drowned, they had a great time. They were no problems of food or water shortages. They promised to be a pirate, and would live there forever.
If you were out from your relatives for a long time, wouldn’t you miss home? It was the same for those children. After several weeks, Joe felt that he missed home very much, and Tom could not seem to stop him. On this, Tom brought Joe and Huck his secret—
On one night, when the rest of the boys fell asleep (of course they slept outside), Tom crept from the camp, and headed toward the town. He sneaked to his aunt’s room, and hid under the bed, while everybody- Mary (Tom’s sister), Sid, Aunt Polly and Joe Harper’s mother were having a meeting. There were a lot of tears, about how the boys were killed, and how they would treat the boys if they ever lived again, such things. Tom almost wanted to get out of the bed and hug Aunt Polly, but he couldn’t. At last, everybody went to sleep. Tom went out from the bed, and flew to the camp. That was the secret— that the boys will go to their own funeral!
While the boys were outside, all of the people in the town were discussing about the accidents. The town was immediately covered with a sense of doom. So the funeral was raised. Everybody wore a black suit, and they prayed something along with the priest. Just then, they saw somebody entering the gate, and what they saw was unbelievable. Three young souls came out from their coffins and showed up in front of everybody! The change of the atmosphere was imaginable. Aunt Polly, Joe Harper’s mother, Mary and Sid were astounded to find that Tom came so vivid in front of them, and so Tom and Joe became a hero in the school, even in the town.
The real adventures of Tom were finding the treasures. However, I felt that I had no energy to write more…

This summer I’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author, Antoine de St-Exupery, The Little Prince.
As many other fairy-tales, the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex. “I”, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. In this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the Asteroid B612. The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.
On his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth.
Traveling on the earth, the little prince, who sees a garden of five-thousand roses, is overcome with astonishment and sadness, as he considers his rose is unique in the universe before. At that time a fox appears. The fox, who tell the little prince about the meaning of the word “tame”, becomes his new friend. At the time to say farewell, the fox makes him know that his rose is unique because she is his rose and tamed by him.

篇5:百万英镑英语读后感作文
全文共 674 字
+ 加入清单那个家伙端出一副非常刻薄的嘴脸说:“啊,是吗?哼,当然我也料到您没有带零钱。我看像您这样的阔人只会带大票子的。”这可叫我冒火了,于是我就说:“朋友,对一个陌生人可别单凭他的衣帽来判断他的身份吧。这套衣服我买得起,我不过不愿叫你们为难,怕你们换不开一张大钞票罢了。”
这就是《百万英镑》里的精彩片段。当时店员对流浪汉亚当斯蔑视、讥笑后见到百万英镑的惊讶表情,作者描述的入木三分。这里面的幽默故事情节深深的吸引了我。
这本书是美国的马克·吐温经典之作。书中讲述了一个矿山经纪人的办事员因开游艇开的太远,迷失方向,被一艘开往伦敦的双桅帆船救起,并以作为水手来作为路费。抵达伦敦后,他仍旧身无分文。这时,一位年长的绅士,把它叫去,并给他了一封信,便叫他走了。他来到一个小饭店,打开信,他被信里的东西几乎吓晕了!里面有一张一百万元英镑的钞票!就这样,一夜间,他成了家喻户晓的名人,在伦敦,谁都知道他。在一次晚宴上,他爱上了一位名叫波霞·朗汉姆英国姑娘并和她结了婚,事后他才知道,那位给他钱的老绅士就是波霞的义父。在他和波霞的结婚典礼上,老绅士把那张一百万英镑的钞票作为礼物送给了他,他也找到了一份好工作。
这本书讽刺了某些人抵制不住金钱对人的诱惑,认为金钱是万能的,现实中我认为金钱绝对不是万能的,金钱万能论是非常错误的。金钱能买到床铺,却买不到睡眠;金钱能买到食物,却买不到口味;金钱可以买到书本,却买不到知识……金钱的确可以满足人们的虚荣心,但是这些都是虚假的,最真实的还是人坦荡的生活。就像亚当斯一样,他失去了金钱,但是他依然乐观。

+ 加入清单Thoughts or reflections on reading Wuthering Heights
Wuthering Heights was written by Emily Bronte, it published in 1847.But at that time, it seemed to hold little promise, selling very poorly and receiving only a few mixed reviews. I found this in our school library, I chose this book because the title attracted me. Wuthering Heights is structured around two parallel love stories, the first half of the novel centering on the love between Catherine and Heathcliff, while the less dramatic second half features the developing love between young Catherine and Hareton. In contrast to the first, the latter tale ends happily, restoring peace and order to Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. In the story, the two houses, Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, represent opposing worlds and values.
I spent twenty days reading this book. After reading this book, I felt for Heathcliff at first. Heathcliff begins his life as a homeless orphan on the streets of Liverpool, and then he tyrannized by Hindley Earnshaw. But he becomes a villain when he acquires power and returns to Wuthering Heights with money and the trappings of a gentleman. His malevolence proves so great and long—lasting. As he himself points out, his abuse of Isabella—his wife is purely sadistic, as he amuses himself by seeing how much abuse she can take and still come cringing back for more.
Catherine represents wild nature, in both her high, lively spirits and her occasional cruelty. She loves Heathcliff so intensely that she claims they are the same person. However, her actions are driven in part by her social ambitions, which initially are awakened during her first stay at the Lintons, and which eventually compel her to marry Edgar. Catherine is free—spirited, beautiful, spoiled, and often arrogant, she is given to fits of temper, and she is torn between her both of the men who love her. The location of her coffin symbolizes the conflict that tears apart her short life. She is buried in a corner of the Kirkyard. In contrast to Catherine, Isabella Linton—Catherine’s sister—in—law represents culture and civilization, both in her refinement and in her weakness. Ultimately, she ruins her life by falling in love with Heathcliff. He never returns her feelings and treats her as a meretool in his quest for revenge on the Linton family.
Just as Isabella Linton serves as Catherine’s foil, Edgar Linton serves as Heathcliff’s. Edgar grows into a tender, constant, but cowardly man. He is almost the ideal gentleman. However, this full assortment of gentlemanly characteristics, along with his civilized virtues, proves useless in Edgar’s clashes with his foil. He sees his wife obviously in love with another man but unable to do anything to rectify the situation. Heathcliff, who gains power over his wife, sister , and daughter.
The whole story make people’s mood heavy. Fortunately, the end is happy.
The author Emily Bronte lived an eccentric, closely guarded life. She was born in 1818, two years after Charlotte—the author of Jane Eyre and a year and a half before her sister Anne, who also became an author. Her father worked as a church rector, and her aunt, who raised the Bronte children after their mother died, was deeply religious. Emily Bronte did not take to her aunt’s Christian fervor, the character of Joseph, a caricature of an evangelical, may have been inspired by her aunt’s religiosity. The Brontes lived in Haworth, a Yorkshire village in the midst of the moors. These wild, desolate expanses—later the setting of Wuthering Heights—made up the Brontes daily environment, and Emily lived among them her entire life. She died in 1848, at the age of thirty.
I like this book because it rest on the unforgettable characters. Wuthering Heights is based partly on the Gothic tradition, a style of literature that featured supernatural encounters, crumbling ruins, moonless nights, and grotesque imagery, seeking to create effects of mystery and fear. I would like to recommend this book to other readers.
篇9:关于《我的第一本英语教师课堂用语手册》的读后感
全文共 1423 字
+ 加入清单课堂是学生获得语言知识,提高语言技能和培养语言交际能力的主要场所,因而使得教师的语言成为课堂教学的工具,又是学生学习的内容。而我们作为英语老师,感知身上压力更大。因为英语对我们来说比较是非母语,怎样才能在课堂中更准确,更流利,更自信地表达自己的想法呢?这一直是我们需要改进提高的部分——教师课堂用语。这本书的出现,真的是能使我们在短期能迅速提高,有据可依的范本。
该书提供了英语教学中最基本最实用的表达句式。Part1中介绍英语课堂中常用句式。Part2中介绍在指导学生4种技能及词汇、语法、发音时需要用到的表达方式。Part3中介绍在练习、游戏、文体活动、分组活动等各项活动中需要用的英语表达。Part4中收录了教师与学生之间常用交流句式。此外,在附录中还为学生们整理了不同主题的英语课堂常用语,这样更有利于师生之间的互动交流。
而且该书经过严格筛选,收录的常用语简洁易懂,实用性强。用英语教学的根本目的不在于展示教师英语实力,所以避免使用一些晦涩难懂的高级词汇,提倡使用一些有利于教师解释和学生理解的简单句式。并且针对不同层次水平的教学内容以及每个表达方式之间会存在一些细微的差别,书中收录很多常用语以适用不同情况。
看了这本书中针对各种情况下的课堂用语,简明扼要而且用多种句子表达相同或相近的一个指令,真的非常值得我们借鉴学习,越细细地去阅读这本书,越开始对自己的课堂用语进行反思。
在课堂用语的表达中,常常存在一些问题。比如,在课堂中往往表达比较随意,用语不够规范。再则,表达时词汇单调,显得乏味,不能给学生很好的丰富语言的范例。久而久之,对于学生能力的提升没有正面的帮助。正因为知道教师课堂语言的重要性,如何在这方面得以改进提高,是非常重要的!
那往往哪些因素在影响着我们教师的语言呢?首先由于教师采用的教学方法不同,每位老师的教育背景和教育理念不同,采用的教学方式也各异,因而呈现出的教学用语也不一样。其次,教师的性格,教师的情感也起到一定影响。再则,学生英语程度的高低,也会影响教师课堂用语所花时间的长短。
怎样可以帮助自己提高这方面的能力呢?首先,还是要规范自己的英语表达,先做到正确无误,不能有中式英语。尽量避免受母语的影响,在表达时,句式,语法要多吸收纯正的英语表达,使自己在课堂中能流利地表达自己的想法。
其次,要深入浅出,根据学生的年龄和知识特点,选择适合他们层次水平的语言,但要略高于学生的水平,这样有利于提高学生的能力。逐渐乃至全部使用英语去讲解新学的词汇,句子等等,让学生使用英语的能力得到提升。挖掘教材中隐性的一些话题,让学生拓展思维,去进行互动交流。
再则,教师语言要生动风趣,幽默灵活。这样的课堂,教师往往能利用自己的教育机智,让课堂变得更加活跃,消除学生的紧张情绪,创造更好的语言交流氛围。
然后,教学语言也可和板书,肢体语言相配合。让课堂中的表达更丰富,让学生更显而易见地明了自己的表达,更容易地互相交流。
接着,尽量用“积极语言”代替“消极语言”,给学生更多的鼓励与肯定,培养学生的学习积极性。每一个人都有自卑的心理,尤其是学生在回答后,如果给他太直接的否定的答案,可能会使他产生消极的学习情绪,换种表达,可能对学生来说,有意想不到的效果。
作为英语老师,我们的语言真的非常重要,相信我们多些学习,更关注下自己的课堂用语,对学生的学习起到积极的正面作用,相信他们也会更爱学英语。

+ 加入清单Thoughts given by Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son
Written in the first chapter of the book Pride and Prejudice is an extraordinary sentence of which even a person who has had only a brief look upon the book will not fail to receive a deep impression-It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. In terms of Sherlock Holmes, we’d better alter the sentence into “It is a fact universally accepted by readers throughout the world that an excellent book in possession of our famous detective Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly a masterpiece of all times.” Perhaps this is one of the most obvious explanations for the unrivaled popularity of “Holmes series” in the field of detective stories. Overwhelmed by the recommendations provided by my friends, I decided to take a look on this Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son originally published by Oxford University Press.
As a whole, this book is about a case concerning the Duke’s missing son. Arthur, the Duke’s son, was found out in a certain morning to have disappeared, accompanied with which was also the disappearance of the German teacher. The school master Dr. Huxtable then turned to the famous detective of the time Sherlock Holmes for help. Realizing how tough and important the case is, Holmes immediately made up his mind to accept the case and followed Dr. Huxtable back to Mackleton by train. Having formed a rough idea about the wholle matter, Holmes probed into the case immediately and had a careful investigation of the entire area shortly after the arrival, during the process of which he discovered the body of the German teacher Heidegger. Finally, primarily due to his prominent ability as a detective, he managed to unravel the mystery and obtained the twelve thousand pounds promised by the Duke.
Having once started reading this fiction, I was completely immersed in the mysterious story presented by the book. As the saying goes, “Well begun, half done”. At the beginning of the story, just like many other detective stories, the author gives us a brief description of the condition by the words of a client. However, unlike other ones, this story first delineates the client’s strange behavior at length to indicate the severity of the incident in order to attract the readers to continue reading it. As is known to all, vivid depiction is essential to detective stories since it can help the readers understand each figure’s characteristics and visualize the scenes, thus making the story more authentic and attractive. Therefore, trying to present a “real world” to his readership, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the original “Holmes series”, has skillfully arranged the plots of the whole story from the perspective of Dr. Watson, a character not so specialized in discovering the truth hidden behind the enigmatic happenings as Holmes but so loyal to Sherlock Homes as a friend that he always accompanies Holmes wherever he goes. In this way, he elaborately depicted every scene and character in the book, Apart from the special start, the ending of the whole story, being dramatic but reasonable, is certainly an outstanding one. After all, except the author himself, who knows that the Duke’s seemingly ordinary secretary is in fact the Duke’s bastard? In addition, who knows that the Duke actually has already been acquainted with the whole thing before Holmes solves this complicated problem? Yet, surprising as it is, this ending seems so natural that it fits all the plots of the story perfectly well. While enjoying this wonderful story, I could do nothing but admire the wonderful design of this masterpiece as well as the author’s gorgeous writing skill. Closing my eyes, I can even “see” the story happening just like watching a film. Not until then did I understand why the Japanese cartoon film Detective Conan used this “Conan” as the name of its hero.
As far as I am concerned, nothing is more admirable and surprising in the hero Sherlock Homes than his profound knowledge which has certainly assisted him a lot when he was studying the case. Take the bicycle tyres for instance, Holmes actually is capable of recognizing 42 different varieties of bicycle tyres. What’s more, according to his other stories, Holmes has studied different kinds of newspapers, cigarettes, people’s footprints and other special things as well. Therefore, he seems to have the mastery of anything relevant to the cases he deals with. Except for his illimitable knowledge, Holmes also specializes in arranging the facts in order and then finding the fact leading him to a GREat discovery or even the truth itself. From his speaking “Every mystery has an answer”, we can readily shape the impression of a man with great intelligence and inflexible will. In this case, after getting rid of unrelated facts, Sherlock Homes eventually grasped the clue and discovered the amazing fact.

However, Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty is a different one, as its main character is a black, handsome horse called Black Beauty. Sewell has spent 6 years on this book, while she was seriously sick. Unfortunately, she died soon after her only book in her whole life was published. As Sewell was crippled and unable to walk since a young age, she by nature had sympathy on the poor animals. Therefore, Black Beauty it is not a fairy tale, but a book which seriously talks the issue of the abuse of animals. And this story is narrated in the first person as an autobiographical memoir by Black Beauty himself. In this way, it becomes easier for readers to understand the whole story better and more clearly. When I begin to read this book, I am absorbed in this book immediately, as if I were the horse, experiencing his life with difficulties and set-backs.
Black Beauty, who has changed his name for several times during different periods of lifetime, is a handsome horse with a life full of both happiness and suffering. He has been well trained, so he always tried to behave well. However, then he was sold from one owner to another, he began to realize how tragic his fate is. His life story has moved all the readers deeply. The author started this story by Black Beauty describing his memory about his happy childhood, when he was accompanied by his mother and taught to be a good horse. At the age of 2, Black Beauty witnessed an accident of hunting for a hare, which caused the rider falling from the horse, dead. Later that wounded horse was killed. And at the age of 4, Black Beauty was old enough to begin the use of saddle, bridle, carriage harness and shoes. Then he was sent to Birtwick Park and named of Black Beauty by Mrs. Gordon. Birtwick Park became his first pleasant home for three years, where he grew strong and met many friends with different characteristics and experiences. One of his friends was Ginger, who was ill-tempered because of a hard life with previous owners. And as a result, Ginger often got wild and bit others. Sir Oliver got a shortened tail because his previous owner thought it was fashionable. Also, there was a groom, little Joe Green. At first, he was too young to know how to properly how to take care of the hot and tired Black Beauty after an emergency, making Black Beauty seriously sick. Grieved, Joe began to do his best to learn hors care. However, soon, the Gorgons had to move because of Mrs. Gordon’s health, so they sold Black Beauty and Ginger to Earlshall Park.
In Earlshall Park, the use of bearing rein made Ginger and Black Beauty painful, so finally ill-tempered Ginger rebelled. Then she was used as a hunter, but Black Beauty was much praised because once he saved Lady Anne. However, his unfortunate life has not changed since then. Our poor Black Beauty got his knees ruined because Mr. Rubber Smith, who was drunk, took Black Beauty on a dangerous ride and at last killed himself after falling down. As a result, Black Beauty was sold as a job horse. Although, he was arranged by a smart customer to be sold to a gentleman afterwards, he still had a hard life, because the groom stole the oats in his food. Tired of the trouble of keeping a horse, the gentleman sold Black Beauty again,
This time, Black Beauty was lucky to have a kind-hearted new owner; a cab driver in London called Jerry. What’s more, Jerry’s families were all kind-hearted, which made Black Beauty happy to bear the hard work of pulling a cab every day. By chance, he met Ginger. She was mistreated as a cab horse; in such a great pain that she was longing for death. And soon, it came true. At the same time, Jerry became weaker and weaker, and finally he was ill in bed after waiting for two customers on a bitter cold night. After his recovery, Jerry was told not to work as s cab driver any more, so Black Beauty was sold again.
Black Beauty’s new owner, a corn dealer, was kind to him, but the dealer’s foreman, Jakes, often overworked the horse and used the bearing rein. Once advertised by a kind lady, Jakes was easier on Black Beauty. However, the dark stables nearly made Black Beauty blind. After sold to work as a cab horse again, Beauty was too old and too weak. Once he was exhausted because of the heavy load. Saved from being put down by a doctor, Beauty found a new owner, a farmer. With full effort, he rejuvenated Beauty and sold him to Miss Ellen and Miss Blomefield. To Beauty’s surprise, he met Joe Green there. Form then on, Black Beauty began a happy life at his last home.
After reading this book, one may admire Black Beauty’s strong will, persistence, and loyalty, or feel sympathetic on him and feel happy for him to get a happy ending. However, it needs our deeper thinking, a much deeper thinking. In fact, Sewell doesn’t only focus on showing Black Beauty’s great characteristics. By telling Black Beauty’s whole life story, she aimed at revealing the hard life of animals at that time and altering us the crime of those who abuse animals.
From Beauty’s suffering during his whole life time, we can see the tragic life of animals at that time. Some people ran after the so-called fashion blindly. In order to satisfy their own vanity,they ignored animals’ great pain. For example, Sir Oliver’s shortened tail. What the so-called fashion gave animals is great pain rather than a beautiful appearance. Some people knew nothing about how to keep animals, and were always making them work all day long. They abused the animals to make as much money as possible until they died. Therefore, on the day when the animals died, their holiday was on the way. For example, the poor Ginger that died for overwork. Though some people kept animals well, their main purpose was to have fun and to show off. They were more abominable. For example, in order to hunt for a hare, the rider killed himself at last and caused the wounded horse’s death. As Beauty said, it wasn’t worthwhile, wasn’t it? Those people who abuse d animals showed no sympathy or love on the poor animals at all. When they needed animals, they kept animals; when they didn’t need animals, they killed animals ruthlessly. To them, all animals were toys, from which they could make fun, or tools, from which they could make money. And the fate of animals at that time, like horses, was being sold from one owner to another, experiencing different kinds of suffering in the whole life. From the standpoint of animals, it must be terrible to be sold again and again.
Let’s see what the result is. Sir Oliver got great annoyance and discomfort because of its shortened tail. Ginger was ill-tempered and bit others often. What’s more, numerous animals died because of over work. What a tragedy!
In fact, the abuse of animals not only happened in the past, but also today, maybe right at this moment, a civilized age. Years ago, I got to know that a few girls cut down a cat’s feet, and then threw it on the street, leaving it bleeding to death. And the year before, it was reported that a student from QingHua University, gave black bears sulfate to drink, which gave black bears a great pain. As to the facts that some old or sick animals are abandoned, it has been very common. Although some organizations aiming at protecting animals have been set up, the abuse of animals can not be prevented. Maybe nowadays the abuse of animals was caused by life pressure, but life pressure can not be an excuse to abuse animals. Those people who live under life pressure should find other ways to solve the problem, but not avoid it by hurting animals.
However, if one can treat animals kindly, the result will be different. Kind people who love animals, such as Mrs. Gordon, Joe, Jerry, get animals’ love and respect in return. As they were friendly to horses, horses are friendly to them and would like to do as much work as they can for them, even sacrifice themselves when their owners were in danger.
I am sure, animals and human can become good friends. No animals will do harm to human, if human have not frightened them first. If you would like to try to have a close and friendly touch with animals, whether tigers or dogs, you will find that they are lovely. Its true that we are much cleverer than animals, but our intelligence should not act as the tool to dominant animals. In fact, we human and animals have the same feeling, because we are all created by one nature, and share one nature together. Therefore, human have no right to abuse them, or kill them. On the contrary, we should protect them, which is our real sacred and glorious obligation.
Do not put the “bearing rein” on the animals. It is cruel.
Do not always focus on our own happiness. It is selfish.
Try to open our eyes to animals that are suffering a hard life.
Try to understand The Black Beauty, and the author.
Try to give a hand in ending the abuse of animals.
At last, I want to conclude by a sentence from this book,“there is no religion without love, and people may talk as much as they like about their religion, but if it dose not teach them to be good and kind to other animals as well as humans, it is all a shame”

+ 加入清单The story of the magnolias father from the army has been around for a thousand years, and we have been very much admired by the woman named hua mulan.Last year, the school played "mulan" to show the heroic killing of the valiant female general mulan.
Watching this movie is like going through a thrilling battle. The real performance of zhao has infected all the audience.At the beginning of the film, the director deliberately lowered the lens to allow you to see four-fifths of the yellow earth, only a blue-blue sky.In such a barren land, the people of the gentle barbarian, the blood of the human life, the soldiers in the peaceful life, a show in front of the present.The film is only slightly used to coax his father to drink or drink the details of the medicine, he explained to hua mulan from the small learning of the martial arts, and the deep love of the old father.Zhao weis acting without the trace, without the beauty of the big eyes, has already made the character of hua mulans kindness and bravery crystal clear.There are a lot of comments criticizing "mulan" for crying too much, and in my opinion, both zhao wei and Chen kuns cries are in line with the plot development.
Death makes soldiers grow, and sorrow is beyond reproach.When hua mulan led the army to the "dragon", it was almost wiped out.The name of hua mulan in the boundless desert of wentai.Seriously injured in the hua mulan miss staring at this time, back from the dead people in their own cries and screams, at this time no matter the film actor, or theater in the audience was moved to tears and visceral.
The whole atmosphere of mulan is sad, and the emotional entanglements and the cruelty of the war have been intensified.But we still want to thank the director for being able to give the audience a lot of grief
Bring a smile.In fact, from the atmosphere, we can see the director and the writers heart.If the whole film is in a subdued emotional tone, and there is no easy transition to a heavy shift without the ups and downs of the plot, then the overall view of the film is not likely to be so full.
Of course, there are some shortcomings. Most of the scenes in the war scene are in the lens of the scene, and it seems difficult to satisfy the visual impact of the audience.The director understands his own advantages, so his script does not stand in a macho mood to show mulan, but chooses the female perspective to interpret our heroine.He mainly showed how a woman was able to survive and protect her feelings during the war.Heroines have her courage and strength, but also her vulnerability and evasion.So, we can see a full of individual character, image full of hua mulan, with femininity and daughter psychology to show the cruelty of war, and we also can see children affair in the national interest and anti-war feelings show different performance.

She immediately became one of the most popular students in the other, when they found her very smart, can make use of a good story of her vivid imagination. In Sarahs 11-year-old birthday, MiMinchin was told that Sarahs father died, leaving Sara penniless, and you can not go anywhere. Minchin sent so missed an attic where she worked as servants. Sarahs trial is to remember that the princeis a princess, and even when she acted as other people, even in the run-down. She was finally helped friends and her father become rich, to become a princeforever.
We can feel good book. Sarah to everyone, even the mouse and her doll! She was always willing to help others what circumstances. Her own. She encouraged her friends the difference they have problems, she helped her friend to learn; she tells the story of poor little servant, and for her to buy delicious food; forgive her students, given them a hate her hands warm, they have problems, even when she deteriorated, she still gave her most of the bread to the beggars; she and a friend turned into a mouse. Although she was hungry, she will not forget some food. You might think that it is difficult for others, but Sarah has done a good job. Her kindneand her evil principals become a strong contrast. For me this book had a great influence. When I have difficulties, I always feel that Sarah, I would like to have the courage to tackle difficult and sometimes some ideas will come to my mind, if Sarah has helped me.
The so-called "good" What does this mean? In this dictionary is: State or quality. What Sarah has done on behalf of not only good, but the author also shows that the maintenance of good things and hope the world is full of mercy and love. Then you know about real life in this world? Of course, good and evil. So good? Beautiful things are by the history and great people; as an insignificant, and this has nothing to do with me! If you have such a good idea, you are completely wrong. We can see very tiny things, from善性such as the perceptual awareness: to a sweet smile, your friends, when you met the kind-hearted, caring person; When you have done, trying to find very glad to help others, for all the biological ... Oh, there are many, this sounds very difficult; but if you really have a warm heart in daily life, you will find it very easy to do good.
Sarah to set a good example for us. She not only is perfect, but it is also a good idea to spread her friend was impressed by many people. Through this book, we can see that, in fact, the author describes as Sarah and the two most under Minchin, a very good; the other is very bad. While it is in real life, not very different. However, we can still be found today, very few people are willing to do mercy and to do it well. Why?
A considerable number of reasons to explain this important phenomenon. First of all, now, our society, the so-called people - children - policy, taking into account their children, many parents are teaching kids, first of all, in order to protect themselves, day after day, the children become a bit selfish, resulting in the fact that fewer people can do good. As Sarah
Urbanization also plays an important role. Methods as the countrys urbanization and the continuous improvement of living standards, more people live in a big city life, and more the pressures of life, are busy for their own work and study, then do not concern public community, they only care about things with their lives, such as income and holidays and so on. They are not unsympathetic, but there is no concept of the United States and Germany. In their mind to do nothing good.
As we have mentioned, human sympathy, but no sense. If they are worried about more things, in addition to those who do will have noticed with them is also very good for them, for their social position. As we know, the world is complex, there is the feeling, we can not accept, so it is difficult to make people aware of this. This may explain why people living in the past with lepressure, it might give them the kind-hearted.
The popular princeof a small, not only the kind of Sarah, but understanding of the properties, we have our time in this beautiful book. I wish Sarah would be the princein our hearts forever; more and more people want to be that little Sarah Duchein reality.

This is the gist of the story.Pig Wilbur and the spider Charlotte live in so perfect accord with each other that they built sincere friendship. However, a bad news came like a bolt from the blue: Wilbur will be killed on the Christmas day! "You never die, Ill save you!"by Charlotte when Wilbur was wailing "I dont want to die!" To fulfill her promise, Charlotte devoted all her lifetime and asked no rewards, until the moment she died.
After I had read the book,I was in contemplative mood. Only leaving the selfless love and pure kindness,Charlottes own time was at an end. When this sort of emotion has already been lacked seriously in contemporary society, this story undoubtedly moves the readers.
According to my point,we need such kind of friendship in our life,so we must learn from Charlotte. As they old saying goes”A friend in need is a friend in deed”。We should help our friends as much as we could when they needed. Let us go into action, let the world become especially fine.

篇20:关于远离尘嚣英语读后感
全文共 1785 字
+ 加入清单Let me just start by saying that I had been put off reading Thomas Hardye by Dickens. Having really struggled with Dickens and resorted to audio I had wrongly assumed that all 19C liturature was the same. How wrong I could be. From the first paragraph where the opening character farmer Gabriel Oak is desribed smiling, ‘the corners of his mouth spread till they were an unimportant distance from his ears‘ I fell in love with Hardy‘s narrative. His ability to use words that lift the description off the page and into the reader‘s imagination are not just outstanding but incredibly enjoyable.
I went into this book blindly, knowing little about the plot that lay ahead or even the genre. It has been described by some as romantic fiction. But I think this is too simplistic a title and and maybe slightly off-putting to some. Hardye steps into Greek Tragedy when the unwitting and churlish actions of our young protagonist, Bathsheba Everdene, result in a love tryst between three suitors with tragic consequenses.
The book is essentially a journey for Bathsheba into womanhood not unlike the journey that Scarlett O‘Hara makes in Gone with the Wind who also has to overcome great tragedy in order to realise her own strength. Unlike this heroin, however, Bathsheba is more the instrument of chaos and indecion and part of her journey is that she accepts what she has caused and tries to make it right.
Hardye avoids making this into moral stricture but deviates from the Greek Tragedy model by giving us a happy ending not atypical of 19C serialised fiction.
Quite often an author‘s voice creeps into their writing and the reader becomes aware that they are not in fact walking the hills and dales of fictional Wessex but are at the pen nib of a writ
