Dear Ms. Reinhart,

I am terribly sorry that I failed to arrive at BLCU last Friday. I hope that this did not mess you up completely, although I know that you had already made some special arrangements for my visit with you parents and friends. I am very sorry about all that. I am sure you will be sympathetic, however, when I tell you that my father is dangerously ill in hospital, and that I found it impossible to leave for the visit when he is in this state.

My father was working very hard on his project on protecting the environment. I know the project has come to a very important stage. He and his assistants did not take regular rest for three weeks. Last night, my father had a heart attack and was soon sent to the hospital. The doctor said my father was in a very serious situation, and, he might need an operation.

24 hours have passed. Nothing has changed. I have to stay at the hospital. I will let you know if there is any good news.

I am sorry again and look forward to seeing you soon.

篇18:望牛墩新联小学英语教学研讨活动观后感

全文共 1146 字

+ 加入清单

一天很快又将过去

总得去理一理

快乐的笑容

不知飘在哪里

你要悄悄问问自己

总得要去理一理

……

这是偶尔在网上看到的某一小学勉励孩子们的一首小诗。该校的理念是:让学生学会学习,让孩子每天像整理家务一样整理自己的学业。

此次活动的时间虽然不长,为了不让我的感触悄悄溜走,我也试着去问自己,我确实需要去理一理我对本次活动的思考与反思。

此次活动的主题是文本重构。先由新联小学的莫艳芬老师上一节汇报课,内容是PEP教材五年级下册Unit 4的 What are you doing?的对话课,随后,张凝老师为我们作了点评,并就文本重构为我们作了精彩而实用的讲座。

本次教研活动,让我感叹最深的是:教师能走多远,学生就能走多远!在平时的对话教学中,我们应该为学生创设一个又一个贴近生活,真实有趣的情境。只有有效的情境创设,才能让学生有重大突破的可能,由老师逼着说转化为情境使然,乐意说。也只有基于文本基础的情境创设才是有效的,才可以优化语言的输出。在充分考虑教学各环节的设计下,让学生的语言是有意义的,让学生的语言是有情感的。由此可见,创造语境乃是英语对话教学的一大核心,如何创造有效的语言情境也是我们面临的一大难题。只重情境再造,而忽略的文本重构,往往会造成教材文本情境的浪费。而张凝老师的讲座,清晰地向我们验证了:教师有多远,学生就能走多远!

反思一:如何创设语言情境,优化语言输出

在英语教学中,要优化语言输出必定离不开优质的语言输入。这种输入必须基于教学目标,合理创设语言情境,才可以让学生更好地接受。而听了张凝老师的讲座,引发了我的诸多思考,如何创设语言情境,优化语言输出,我们需要做到以下三点:一是给学生搭建一个基于文本的语言支架。二是给学生提供基于学情得语料。可以根据学生的兴趣爱好进行补充,可以激活学生的旧知,可以参考学生的生活经验,还可以从学生的心灵体验出发……三是教师要给学生展示各色各样的范本。最简单的莫过于诵读示范了,还可以进行表演示范和体态语的示范。总之,在创设情境时,要多关注学生的心灵,倾听学生的心声,学生需要的,适合学生的才是最好的。

反思三:如何做最好的自己?

课堂上,我必须有一个清晰的自我定位。如果连自己都无法认清自己在课堂上的地位,还怎么去教学生呢?如果自己都感到迷惑了,感到痛苦了,那么很有可能把学生也弄迷惑了,害惨了。教师不仅仅是教案的执行者,更要做一个明白人?

在平时,要极力做一名反思型教师。反思是一种美德,学会自我反思是一个老师的必备素质。两千多年前的孔夫子的就我们教导“吾日三醒吾身”,可见不断反思,才能逐渐进步。

最后引用李开复博士的一句话:“有勇气来改变可以改变的事情,有胸怀来接受不可改变的事情,有智慧来分辨两者的不同”,做最好的自己,做快乐的自己,相信自己一定可以成功!

端午节的英语小学作文带翻译15

The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on

the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. This

festival is to commemorate the death of QU Yuan, an upright and honest poet and

statesman who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a

river.

The most important activity of this festival is the Dragon Boat races. It

symbolizes people‘s attempts to rescue Qu Yuan. In the current period, these

races also demonstrate the virtues of cooperation and teamwork.

Besides, the festival has also been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous

rice)。 Zong zi is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and

wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. People who mourned the death of Qu threw Zong

zi into the river to feed his ghost every year.

With the changes of the times, the memorial turns to be a time for

protection from evil and disease for the rest of year. People will hang healthy

herbs on the front door to clear the bad luck of the house. Although the

significance of the festival might be different with the past, it still gives

the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural

heritage.

端午节,又称为端午节,定在第五个月的第五天据中国日历。这个节日是为了纪念屈原的死,一个忠厚老实的诗人和政治家据说在河流溺水自杀。

这个节日最重要的活动是龙舟竞赛。它象征着人们的努力救屈原。在当前时期,这些比赛也证明合作和团队合作的优点。

此外,节日还被吃的粽子(糯米)。粽子是糯米做的塞满了不同的馅料包在竹叶或芦苇叶。人哀悼屈原的死亡把粽子扔进河里喂他的鬼魂。

随着时代的变化,纪念转向防止邪恶和疾病是一个时间的。人们会把健康的草药挂在前门清理房子的坏运气。虽然这个节日的意义可能与过去不同,它仍然使观察者看到的机会丰富的中国文化遗产的一部分。

篇20:关于科学家的英语作文小学

全文共 1837 字

+ 加入清单

Here is a difference between science and technology.Science is a method of

answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical

problems. Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships between

observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to

organize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with

tools,techniques, and procedures for implementing the findings of science.

Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the

progress in each. Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who

seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth with the highest degree of

accuracy and certainty, cannot pay heed to their own or other peoples likes or

dislikes, or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists

discover may shock or anger people--as did Darwins theory of evolution. But

even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the

option of refusing to believe it! But hardly so with technology;we do not have

the option of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic

aircraft-flying overhead; we do not have the option of refusing to breathe

polluted air. Unlike science, progress in technology must be our slave and not

the reverse. The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve peopie--people in

general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who

presently wish to gain advantage for themselves.

We are all familiar with the abuses of technology. Many people blame

technology itself for widespread pollution, resource depletion and even social

decay in general--so much so that the promise of technology is obscured. That

promise is a cleaner and healthier world. If wise applications of science and

technology do not lead to a better world, what else will?
