英语阅读计划作文【精彩20篇】

英语原版小说的阅读技巧与策略说实话,在原版小说的阅读方面,我不是高手,虽然有很多恩师淳淳教导,自己也买了借了很多原版小说,在我印象中,没有一本好好读完的,唯一的一本大16开的600多pages的原版教材,到是花了3个月的时间啃完了.

近来由于2外的需要,本人再次向原版小说进军.我把自己的一些3角猫的阅读技巧与策略祥述如下,希望各位高人指点在下…

1. why to read original edition novel

要想真正提高外语水平,阅读原版小说是必经之路,正如不是每个人都能成为外语高手一样,

不是每个人都能够有毅力读完N本原版小说的.(我特佩服门卫,能够把一本都上N遍,如果我有这种毅力的话,早就成为高手了…)

2. fundamental conditions

语法:系统准确的掌握语法. 基本上,如果是E,高中毕业以后这一点都达到了

词汇: 熟练词汇>2.5k, 认知词汇>5k

工具书:一本C-E,

一本E-E,或者用文曲星代替,但我偏好字典----词汇认知学指出,词汇的记忆效果与词汇的检索时间正相关(我现在读法文,由3本D, F-C,F-E,F-F)

3. 选材,仁者见仁,就我个人而言, 我偏好当代中篇作品(我现在选了一本Marcel Pagnol 写于1957年的, 280pages)

4. 前期工作: 查找百科全书或相应的工具书,了解到作者的生平,作品,世人的评价.

5. 阅读中的词汇学习: 每天阅读6 pages(6X225=1350字),在阅读过程中碰到new words先做标记,读完后再查D, 把生词记载在本子上,并及时背诵(我现在最怕的就是这一点,会不会半途而废???)

6. how to read

我准备默读, 这是我的习惯,朗读太费劲了,泛读也没有意义,介于精泛之间

7. read what

我主要研究其词汇搭配.词汇的用法是语言中最难的,比如,法语中最简单的一个介词à,用法不计其数,在大型D上有好几页,

为什么同样的词汇在名家手下就生龙活虎,到了我的手下就一潭死水呢?我认为这应该是读原版小说的最根本目的.

记得AS以前告诫我,要多学词法,少背词汇, 可惜一直没有好好的实行, 现在,我就以法语作为实验品吧…再次谢谢AS!!!

我准备把注意力集中在介词,连词,动词上面,因为名词和形容词的用法太简单了,不知这样是否OK?

8. how to digest

每读完一章写一篇读后感,相当于开卷考试,经常并及时背诵本子上的new words

9. 结语

方法人人都有,上面只是我个人的对策,真诚的希望大家对阅读原版小说提出意见和建议.

When I chose to study further, it is because I want to avoid the job pressure, now three years will pass, I come to my cross road again, at this time, I must make my choice, I can’t avoid the pressure anymore. I have already made my future plan, it has two parts。

当我选择深造的时候，是因为我想要避开工作的压力，如今三年即将过去，我又来到了十字路口，这一次，我必须做出决定，我再也不能逃避压力了。我已经制定了将来的计划，那有两部分。

One part of my future plan is that I want to be a teacher. This is my career plan, being a teacher is always my dream, I can pass my knowledge to students, I like to talk to them, I want to lead them to the successful road. So now I must pay attention to the recruit message, I should seize every chance to be a teacher。

我将来计划的其中一部分就是我想要成为一名教师。这是我的职业计划，成为一名教师一直以来都是我的梦想，我能把我的知识传递给我的学生，我喜欢和他们聊天，我想要把他们引导到成功的路上。所以现在我必须要关注招聘信息，应该抓住每一个成为教师的机遇。

The other part of my future plan is that I want to travel around the world. Being a teacher can make me have many vacations, so I can make used of these vacations and to carry out my travel plan. I have heard about many interesting foreign things, so I want to go out and have a look at the world。

我将来计划的另一部分就是我想要环游世界。成为一位教师能让我有多点假期，这样我就可以充分利用这些假期来实现我的旅游计划。我已经听说了很多国外有趣的东西，我想要走出去看一看这个世界。

how time flies，unconsciouslthe next winter vacation will soon come.in order to improve myself awell aenjoa happholiday,i made the winter vacation plan.

firstli want to continue with mstudy,i think studia life process,so no matter what the situation i am in,i will look for chanceto continue it.i have bought several new book,including those bookon mmajor(专业)and some novel,i will trto finish reading them in the holidaand write notes. j

secondly,since it ithe holiday,i will share it with mfamiland friend.you know the spring festival will soon come, i believe i would chatting and plagamewith mfriendand famil.i think i will enjothe vacation.

这类题目主要包括事实识别、有关计算、识图、排列顺序等。一般地，这类题目可以直接从短文中找到可用的信息。这些问题一般都涉及到文章的“5W”，即 who(人物)，when(时间)，where(地点)， what(事件)，why(原因)，how(方式)等。题目设计大多直截了当。只要通读全文，注意文中所述的重要事实或细节，就可以做出正确解答。以图表材料命制的题目更是如此。例如：

03’年山东省烟台市“阅读理解”短文(D)中有下面这样一段话：

He/She should have an interest in making pizza. More importantly, he/she should have work experience in a restaurant.

针对这段文字，文后设有这样一道题：

The ad (广告) tells us that ____________________.

A. the assistant must be a man. B. the assistant must have once worked in a restaurant.

C. Pucci Pizza has branches all over China. D. Pucci Pizza is not in Taichung.

【分析】本小题选项B的意思是“要招聘的这个人必须曾在饭馆过”。即要具有一定的从事餐饮业的经验。这与原文中叙述的事实“More importantly, he/she should have work experience in restaurant.”相比较，形式上虽不大一样，但其内涵却完全相同。如果考生准确解了短文中的这句话，问题即可迎刃而解。

又如03’年广东省中考“阅读理解”短文(C)篇中有这样一句话：

In the past, there were forests all around Lake Ponkapog 初中英语, so the rainwater was clean.

短文后的题目是：

In the past Lake Ponkapog was surrounded by ________. A. fish B. rain C. birds D. forests

【分析】题目所要问的是“Lake Ponkapog四周过去被什么东西所环绕？” 而阅读材料中已用There be句型表达出了这层意思，句式不同，却有异曲同工之妙。

Covering Ones Ears While Stealing a Bell

掩耳盗铃

Mr. Wang thinks he is clever, but he always does [en]foolish

things.[/en]

王先生总以为自己很聪明，实际上他总干傻事。

One day he sees a beautiful bell at the top of a door. "Oh! How nice! I will take it home." He thinks, "What can I do?" After a while he has a "good" idea. "Aha! I have an idea now. I can plug my ears. Then I will not hear the ring when I take off the bell."

一天，他看见一户人家的门头有个很漂亮的铃铛。"啊，真漂亮啊!我要把它拿回家去。"他自言自语道："我该怎么做呢?"过了一会儿他想到了一个"好"主意。"啊哈!我有办法了!我把耳朵堵上，拿铃铛的时候就听不见铃声了。"

Then he does so. But as soon as he takes off the bell, the owner opens the door. "What are you doing?" the owner says angrily.

于是他就这样做了。可是他刚拿下铃铛，屋子的主人就打开门，怒气冲冲地说："你在干什么?"

【成语来源】

At the time when Fan, a nobleman of the state of Jin, became a fugitive, a commoner found a bell and wanted to carry it off on his back.

春秋时侯，晋国贵族智伯灭掉了范氏。有人趁机跑到范氏家里想偷点东西，看见院子里吊着一口大钟。钟是用上等青铜铸成的，造型和图案都很精美。小偷心里高兴极了，想把这口精美的大钟背回自已家去。

But the bell was too big for him.

可是钟又大又重，怎么也挪不动。

[/en]When he tried to knock it into pieces with a hammer there was a loud clanging sound. [/en]

他想来想去，只有一个办法，那就是把钟敲碎，然后再分别搬回家。小偷找来一把大锤，拼命朝钟砸去，咣的一声巨响，把他吓了一大跳。

He was afraid that someone will hear the noise and take the bell from him, so he immediately stopped his own ears.

小偷着慌，心想这下糟了，这种声不就等于是告诉人们我正在这里偷钟吗?他越听越害怕，不同自由地抽回双手，使劲捂住自已的耳朵。

To worry about other people hearing the noise is understandable, but to worry about himself hearing the noise (as if stopping his own ears would prevent other people from hearing) is absurd.

“咦，钟声变小了，听不见了!”小偷高兴起来，“妙极了!把耳朵捂住不住就听不进钟声了吗!”他立刻找来两个布团，把耳朵塞住，心想，这下谁也听不见钟声了。于是就放手砸起钟来，一下一下，钟声响亮地传到很远的地方。人们听到钟声蜂拥而至把小偷捉住了。

一个漫长的寒假已过去，迎来的是一个美好的春天。迎着早晨的第一缕阳光，我们又重新回到美丽的校园，开始了新一学期的征途。

在过去的旅途中，无论你是否拥有过欢笑，拥有个阳光，这都已成为永远的记忆，加上一把锁将它封闭起来吧!摆在我们面前的一切都是新的，你看见了吗?新的生命正在破土而出。由于现实的残酷，我们将化身为一个个骑士，抹掉胸口上的创伤，拿上我们的武器，整装待发，新学期的目标你确定了吗?

也许你的目标是考上自己理想的初中，也许你的目标是追赶上某位同学，目标可以不同，但是绝对不能没有，更重要的是有了目标后，我们一定要为此付诸行动，全力以赴，这些没有必要拿张纸唰唰大笔抹几下，但是在你的头脑中一定得有个奋斗目标，有个全套打算，没有目标就是没有终点，一个连自己终点，都不知在哪里的人，将如何完成这段旅程，当然这一路不会是一帆风顺，

所以首先，上课的时候，我要认真听讲，不做小动作，不和同学交头接耳，要力争把老师课堂上讲的知识全部消化;对于疑难问题，要不耻下问，虚心向老师和同学请教。

其次，要认真完成老师布置的所有作业，做到一丝不苟。课堂作业当堂完成;课后作业和家庭作业也要按时独立完成。

第三，要做好语文课的课前预。对于预习字词，成语，要先查字典把它认会，弄懂意思;还要学会给课文分段，用最简短的语言写出每段的段落大意，然后总结课文的中心思想;对于每篇课文的课后题，要先试着去做;对于课文和课后题不理解和不会做的地方，要先把它在书上划下来或记下来，第二天上课时带着问题去听讲，还可以在课堂上向老师请教。

第四，要利用星期天和节假日，继续参加奥数、英语，多读课外书，不断丰富自己的知识。要挤出时间，多干事。

总而言之，在新的学期里我要更加努力，争取每门功课都取得好成绩，当一个各方面都很出色的学生。

Which historically great celebrities behind success without a bumpy road, but which celebrities in the rugged road behind not hard and eternal cold window study hard? Reading is a kind of pleasure, of course.

The great poet gorky said: books are the ladder of human progress, a lifelong partner, the most sincere friend.

Indeed, ones life with us most is books. From kindergarten to primary school from the junior middle school, from junior middle school to high school, from high school to university, and so on. Not all books have been with us? But reading is good for health of body and mind, increase our utility. Book you know what we have learned is just a small drop of the knowledge ocean. Our great educator Confucius said: never too old to learn, we should learn from him.

Book, is an indispensable part of peoples life. If you dont have the book, people will always so feudal ideas. A way of doing things if you dont have the book, people will never so stuffy, does not change.

从古至今哪一个伟大的名人成功的背后没有一段崎岖的路，然而哪个名人在这崎岖的路的背后没有刻苦铭心的寒窗苦读?当然读书也是一种乐趣。

伟大的诗人高尔基说：书籍是人类进步的阶梯，终生的伴侣，最诚挚的朋友。

的确如此，人的一生陪伴我们最多的是书籍。从幼儿园到小学再从小学到初中、从初中到高中、再从高中到大学，等等。不都是书籍一直在陪伴我们吗?而且读书有益于身心健康，增加我们的知识量。大家可知我们所学的书仅仅是知识海洋的一小滴水。我们的伟大教育家孔子说的好：活到老学到老，我们应当向他学习。

书，是人生活中不可缺少的一部分。如果没了书，人的思想就会永远都那么的封建。如果没了书，人们的做事方法就会永远都那么的古板，不会改变。

As a middle school student, my study burden is heavier than before. Therefore, I must make a good plan for my study to make the effort effective and set sometime aside for playing. Firstly, I will make a big plan for this term and set a goal for it. I want to be the top three of my class in the final exam, so that I must work hard for it. In addition, I will make plans for several short periods, such as monthly plan and weekly plan. By doing so, I can clearly know what my major task of different. Finally, daily plan is necessary, too. Write down my tasks for everyday and finish them strictly. Remember not put tasks until tomorrow. With these different plans, I can arrange my time reasonably and get sometime to play.

作为一名初中生，我的学习负担比以前更重了。因此，我必须给我的学习制定计划从而使努力更有效果，同时腾出一些时间去玩。首先，我会为这学期制定一个大的计划并设立目标。我想要在期末考试中取得前三名，所以我必须为之努力。其次，我会制定几个短期的计划，比如说月计划和周计划。这样一来，我就能够清楚的知道我主要的不同的任务是什么。最后，每日计划也是必要的。写下我每天的任务并严格完成它们，记住不要把今天的任务留给明天。有了这些不同的计划，我就可以合理的安排时间，并抽出时间来玩。

My new college life is going to start, so I cannot help feeling excited. How many times I have dreamed my beautiful and meaningful university life!

When my new life begins, I think the first thing I should do is to focus on my study. I will try my best to learn as many subjects as possible. Besides, I think I will take part in some school activities to improve my comprehensive ability, such as communication ability and so on. At the same time, I am supposed to join some student unions or clubs to make my life colorful.

I know there are many differences between high schools and universities, so I will change my study habits. In high schools, it is the times of teachers forcing students to study, but in universities, we should arrange all the things by ourselves, so I will study by myself. I will make study plans such as time schedule or something like that by myself.

Of course, I will practice myself to be more independent. Independence is a rather curtail ability for future development, so if there are any problems, I will do my best to solve it personally, and wont ask someone at first as before.

This is what I arrange for my new life, and hope it will start soon. I am ready for it!

a new year ,a new start, when i stand on the edge of the a new year, i cant help thinking about my plan of next year. just as the old saying:well began is the half of the success.so i decide that i should be at work while the others are still relaxing ,and then ,at the beginning ,im quicker than the others and of course i will get better result than the others. but ,what i really decide to do is that i must make good of anytime i can spare though it seems impossible. while, i will do my best to live up with what i have planned, and the result will prove it.

国庆节要到了,我已经定了一个计划,我和我的父母去北京,因为那有很多名胜古迹.首先我们要去长城 ,它被认为是世界七大奇观之一.第二我们要参观颐和园,许多帝王避暑的地方.然后我们去水立方,很多重大的体育比赛都在那举行.最后我们要去参观胡同 去了解一下老北京的文化.我想这次旅行一定很有趣,所以我们一定会玩得很高兴.

Have you ever wondered, winter vacation is not long, and after half of the holiday is very busy, everyday go club, string of hezekiah, and his brother and sisters to pieces, no time to write my homework. So, you just have a holiday of a few days ago is very important. Are you going to high efficiency, high quality finish holiday homework. Whether your life regularly? If we set a schedule for yourself, not can better finish holiday homework? In the New Years day, not too can play more at ease?

In my body has a very profound lesson -- last years winter vacation, every day I go out and play, the first few days when is twelve o clock at night didnt go to bed, only more than ten up during the day, clock totally messed up. Brother and sister elder brother elder sister until he saw the house already written assignments, open happy heart to prepare for the holiday, I realise their homework from commencement back until now even havent touched touch! The New Year, because the family relatives, so every day going to someones home New Year, busy as a bee. Everybody happy New Years day, but I fear, not at ease. The days of school gradually close to the, finally temporary prayer feet, careless finished all my homework. Alas, this not only learn nothing, also parents harshly criticized by the teacher.

If I had had a plan, every day to give oneself "assignments", timing, quantitatively and mix. Not only learn the effective, New Years day can also be reassuring to have fun. This shows how important it is to have a good plan wow! Every time, what time sleep; How much homework every day, back how many poems; How many minutes, computer and TV entertainment outdoor activities every day a few hours...

With increasing age level gradually, work also more and more. Now, you have a perfect plan?

你可曾想过，寒假的假期不长，而且后半个假期十分忙，天天走东家、串西家，与兄弟姐妹闹成一片，根本没时间写作业。那么，你刚放假的前几天就显得十分重要了。你要高效率、高质量完成假期作业。你的生活是否有规律呢?如果我们为自己制定一张计划表，不就能更好地完成假期作业了吗?到了过年时，不也就能更加安心地玩儿了吗?

在我自己身上就有一个十分深刻的教训——去年寒假，刚开始几天，我天天出去玩儿，晚上是十二点多才睡觉，白天十点多才起来，生物钟完全乱了套。直到看见家里的弟弟妹妹哥哥姐姐都早已写好了作业，开开心心准备过年时，我才发觉自己的作业从结业典礼拿回来直到现在连碰都还没碰过呢!过年了，由于家里的亲戚多，所以天天都要去别人家里拜年，忙得不可开交。其他人都其乐融融的过年，而我却是提心吊胆，玩的不安心。距离开学的日子渐渐近了，终于临时拜佛脚，粗枝大叶的完成了所有作业。唉，这样不仅没学到什么，还被老师家长狠狠地批评了一顿。

如果当时我有一个计划就好了，每天都给自己“布置任务”，定时定量地完成，并且劳逸结合。不仅学的有效，过年也能安心的玩儿了。这可见有一个好的计划是多么重要哇!每天几点起、几点睡;每天写多少作业、背多少古诗;每天电脑电视娱乐多少分钟、户外活动几小时……

随着年纪级的渐渐升高，作业量也越来越多。现在的你，有一个完美的计划了吗?

[英语作文我的大学计划

There is no exact definition of the word happiness. Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons. The key is not wealth or physical well-being, since we find beggars, invalids and so-called failures, who are extremely happy.

Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend. But staying happy is an accomplishment, a triumph of soul and character. It is not selfish to strive for it. It is, indeed, a duty to ourselves and others.

Being unhappy is like an infectious disease. It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer. He soon finds himself alone, miserable and embittered. There is, however, a cure so simple as to seem, at first glance, ridiculous; if you dont feel happy, pretend to be!

It works. Before long you will find that instead of repelling people, you attract them. You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will.

Then the make-believe becomes a reality. You possess the secret of peace of mind, and can forget yourself in being of service to others.

Being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit, opens doors into unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends.

我恳切地希望将来能过着健康而顺遂的一生。从我的能力倾向及人格特质来判断，我理想的生活方式将是担任一名科学家，从事研究讲学以及著作。

As I am from a farming family, I particularly enjoy being close to earth. If I can afford to live a pastoral life in the countryside, I will feel most blessed. As far as social life is concerned, simplicity is what I intend to pursue, so I really dont need too many friends. All these will be mere talk if I am idle now. To attain my goal, I must make a point of training my body and mind.

由于我来自农家，尤其喜欢亲近土地。如果我有经济能力在乡下过着田园生活，我会深感福佑。至于社交生活，「单纯」是我所要追求的，所以我确实不需要太多的朋友。如果我现在懒散，这一切都将流于空谈;要达成目标，我必须重视锻炼自己的身心。
