Afterwards and further because in the big marlin wound fish fishy smell brought in several crowds of shark fish snatches the food, but the old person still did not hope like this to give up, finally highlighted encircles tightly, returned to the big fish belt the fishing port, lets other fishermen not admire already.

今年暑假,我读了美国著名作家海明威的小说“老人与海”。我非常佩服小说中高级的渔夫的意志,他让我明白一个人一定要有不屈不挠的精神,才可能获得成功。

这部小说描述一年近六十岁的高级渔夫,当独自一人去海上钓鱼,钓一条大鱼,其实没有拉。高级的渔夫社会化几天后鱼,才发现这是超过了自己的大马林鱼渔船几折,虽然知道很难取胜,但仍不放弃。后来又因大马林鱼伤口在几个成群的鲨鱼鱼鱼鱼腥味带来一阵食物,但老人还是不希望这样放弃,最终突出环绕,返回到大鱼带渔港,让其他渔夫不钦佩了。

当我读到“高级的渔夫想:这里的海岸真的是太近,可能会有更大的鱼在更远的地方……“时,我非常佩服这个高级渔夫,因为他现在已经预计在一些鱼,但他没有解决现状,但方法更大的目标前进。再看看我们,通常遇到一个略是困难的,我们都不停地抱怨。我们将是祖国的未来,应该像这样老人相同心灵崇高的愿望,将更好的追求更好,更大的目标。

当我读到“大马林鱼开始快速聚集年轻的渔船盘旋缠绕电缆在桅杆上,老人右手高举高的钢叉,跳跃水面flash,并最大限度抛出其心,哀号一结束了大鱼的生命,它是静态的静态漂浮在水面……“当,我的心也喜欢一起大的石瀑布。我非常钦佩老人那种不恐惧,无情的精神,虽然知道比赛实力很强,但他没有略就会闪躲,但欢迎上述困难。只是因为有了这种精神,高级的渔夫才取得了这生死比赛成功。我们还必须学习高级渔夫的精神生活,做事情不怕困难,才能取得成功。

阅读大鱼的血的气味是由一群鲨鱼闻到了鱼,挣扎着游一阵食物,老人的左手正好在抽搐,他只能使用右手,用木棒、嘴等一切可以用来攻击的武器自卫,并最终被这群鲨鱼的鱼。但大鱼的肉已经吃了一大部分,但是老人也快乐地批评自己的左手“该工作时间实际上是休息”,我也被老人的乐观精神迟滞。在生活中,有些损失是不可避免的,我们应该以乐观的态度对待,不能计算。

小说最后,看到一个青年高级的渔夫充分衡量有十八英尺长的大马林鱼,再次描述这条鱼的巨大,说明老渔夫克服了困难很大,非是更常见。

小说歌颂高级的渔夫的精神恐惧艰难和危险的努力没有斗争,我们也应该像他这样,不能满足于现状,应该积极,做任何事都是无情的,遇到困难必须欢迎以上困难,绝不中途放弃。只有这样,我们才可以获得更大的成功和胜利。

Recently, I read a very interesting book, is the name of the book "Tom Sawyer, I really like the hero inside.

Tom is a clever naughty boy. Tom for feudal life in the family and school in the boring classroom life, felt so tired. To take the risk, so bring your own good friends with all my heart to do the leader of the commander in chief the robber. Because in his eyes, a pirate is hero Robin Hood. He ran away from home, to go to the outside world through a cross, have a look, play time, bold pirate! In this adventure, he met with difficulties, but he didnt lose heart, dont give up, again and again to challenge difficulties bravely, until down with difficulty.

Although Tom naughty, naughty, but he also has a kind heart, he is brave, and also very savvy. Take the second chapter books, for instance. Tom fully display their talents. I paint the walls in order to let the other people to help him, he deliberately performance is very interesting, let he saved a lot of kung fu, also let others willing to give him something, as a reward. In he and huck met that night, two people together witnessed a murder, for the sake of justice, intrepidity Tom stood out, blew the lid off the Injun Joes ugly face, save the potter. This let I think Tom is a brave child.

Tom, Tom rebellious, tired of school life, I think I can understand. I just elementary school, I feel so happy, because there was no pressure, no piles of homework, more relaxed. But suddenly, I was the sixth grade students, homework than in a grade of homework every day. Sometimes, I also want to put down the work to the fullest play, also want to put aside all the classroom life like a bird to fly freely. With this experience, I think, Tom should feel the same way.

After reading this book, I think encounter difficulties do not easily discouraged, and strive to insist on. Tom is full of sunshine in life tells us: as long as there is joy, have a dream, a dream can come true.

最近，我读了一本非常有趣的书，书的名字是《汤姆索亚历险记》，我非常喜欢里面的主人公。

汤姆是个聪明调皮的孩子。汤姆对于家庭中封建的生活和学校中枯燥的课堂生活，都感到无比厌烦。于是带上自己的好朋友一起去冒险，一心要做统帅众强盗的首领。因为在他眼里，海盗就是劫富济贫的英雄。他离家出走，要到外面的世界里去闯一闯，看一看，扮一回胆大包天的海盗!这次冒险中，他遇到了种种困难，但他并不灰心，也不放弃，一次又一次勇敢地向困难挑战，直到打倒困难为止。

汤姆虽然顽皮、淘气，但他也有一颗善良的心，他很勇敢，也非常机智。就拿书上的第二章来说吧。汤姆充分的显示了自己的聪明才智。为了能让别人帮他刷墙，他故意表现的很有意思，让他省了不少功夫，还让别人心甘情愿的给他东西，作为酬劳。而在他和哈克相遇的那天晚上，两人一起目睹了一场凶杀案，为了主持正义，不畏强暴的汤姆站了出来，揭发了印第安乔的丑陋面目，解救了波特。这点让我觉得汤姆是个勇敢的孩子。

汤姆的叛逆，汤姆对学校生活的厌倦，我想我是可以理解的。我刚上小学的时候，就觉得好高兴，因为那时没有压力，没有堆积如山的作业，比较轻松。可转眼间，我就已经是六年级的学生了，每天的作业比在一年级时的作业多多了。有时，我也想放下作业尽情地玩耍，也想抛开所有的课堂生活像小鸟一样自由自在地飞翔。有了这样的体会，我想，汤姆该有同感吧。

读了这本书以后，我觉得遇到困难不要轻易气馁，而要努力奋斗，坚持下去。汤姆充满阳光的生活里告诉我们：只要有欢乐，有梦想，美梦便可以成真。

Notre Dame DE Paris, tells the story of goodness, beauty lada fell in love with the beautiful love, handsome in appearance and inner ugly than, but I did not choose appearance ugly and inner good card seamus. If all the girls in their choice of the two boys, I think most of the girls would choose handsome than he. Although many say themselves in choosing a partner will pay more attention to inner beauty, beauty is not important. But I personally think this is wrong, why do you say so?

Because in real life, many people believe and desire for that kind of love at first sight of romantic love. If you dont have a beautiful appearance, only a good heart, how can someone to notice you. The love of beauty and the pursuit of beauty is human nature, so the pursuit of a handsome boy and beauty should not be to blame. His heart as long as they are willing to pay, deeply in love with each other, it is also called love, but I think, now that it is love, should be the correct view each others faults, inclusive each others shortcomings. After all gold no pure gold, no one is perfect.

Also, in real life there are a lot of people want to love America lada as persistent once fell in love with a person will persist, no matter this kind of love have the result. In fact, sometimes, perseverance is not a good thing, when you find the other side already did not love you, maybe give up is also a kind of beauty, it also give yourself a chance to pursue the real belong to your own happiness, if too persistent, in the end you might lose his at the same time, also pushed himself as the interests of an endless abyss of pain.

巴黎圣母院讲述了善良，美丽的爱斯美拉达爱上了外表帅气而内心丑陋的弗比斯，却没有选择外表丑陋而内心善良的卡西莫多。如果让所有的女生在他们两个男生中选择时，我想大多数女生会选择帅气的弗比斯。虽然很多人都说她们自己在选择另一半的时候会更注重内在美，外在美并不重要。但是我个人认为这种说法不妥，为什么这样说呢?

因为在现实生活中，很多人相信并且渴望那种一见钟情浪漫式的爱情。如果你没有稍微漂亮的外表，只有美好的心灵，怎么会有人去注意你。爱美和追求美是人的本性，所以追求帅哥和美女是不应该受到指责的。只要他们愿意付出自己的真心，深爱着彼此，那也叫爱情，但是我认为，既然是爱情，就应该正确的看待彼此的缺点，包容彼此的缺点。毕竟金无足赤，人无完人。

还有，在现实生活中有很多人想爱斯美拉达一样执着一旦爱上一个人就会坚持到底，不管这种爱情有没有结果。其实，有时候执着也并不是一件好事，当你发现对方已经不爱你时，也许放弃也是一种美，这也算给自己一个机会去追求真正属于自己的幸福，如果太执着，到最后或许你在失去他的同时，也把自己推如了利益个无尽的痛苦的深渊。

《最后一片树叶》是霍姆斯所著的儿童故事，作者以特有的技巧和揶揄的语言，仅用短短几句就勾画出一个人年轻时的精彩和年老后的无奈。以下是小编带来的最后一片树叶英语读后感，希望对你有帮助。

"Last leaf" This article is my "Childrens Literature" on the see. When I finished reading the article, I who had a deep admiration for the artists talent and the kind of self-sacrificing spirit.

What happened was this: So a good friend of Jones, unfortunately, contracted pneumonia, in their residence out of the window there is a cluster of ivy, through the baptism of wind and rain, and its leaves have disappeared into obscurity. 。 Jones think when the last one leaves off the ivy-ray later, her life, coming to an end. SO this can not be racking their brains to dispel the idea of her, only to the downstairs, Mr. Berman for help. Berman is a painter, he knew that after a wet and windy night, in the ivy leaves off the light, when girls think that their certain death, when the old painter to allow girls to rekindle the fire of hope, he braved the wind and rain to leaves painted on the wall, for which he contracted pneumonia and died.

Read it, tears blurred my eyes, I thought of how great the old painter. Him, an ordinary painter, in order to save itself has to give up on a girl, paid with his life. I seem to see the face of it after he leaves unfinished a brilliant smile. He finally has had his wish. That is, he hopes to complete his Jingshizhizuo during their lifetime. It seems to me that he did. I think if he were alive, he would think so.

From the bottom of my heart I admire Mr. Berman, as well as the psychological Jones previously was sad. When people can not give up hope. Like our class a female classmate, she was very confident of their own. In a jumping goat, her teachers and fellow students rely on the constant encouragement, she finally jumped in the past. So, in our side, also need, as Mr. Berman did for our people to keep lit the fire of hope. In this way, our lives would flourishing.

From each of a small matter, every word from the language, one from each eye, we are little by little to build our self-confidence. Therefore, we must be careful to do things, talk, do not give up someone elses confidence. A people do not have self-confidence, nothing can be done.

When reading this article, I have been wondering: Why, Mr. Berman will be death? Because I did not know he was to die in order to draw a leaf, but did not know what was actually his paintings to their work. Until I saw the words of the last paragraph of the article. This is what the Soviet Union to the friends said, she said: "There are some things I must tell you, white mouse (Jones), Mr. Rae Mann died of pneumonia in the hospital today. He only sick for two days. The first day of the morning, to see found the door in his room very sick. His shoes and clothes were soaked, and cold Speranskia tuberculata did not know he was doing in that wind and rain the night went, only found a lantern, still lit; There is obviously just used a ladder; have a few to throw on one side of the brush; a Nianman yellow, green, two kinds of mixed-color palette, as well as ... ... my dear, you look out the window bar, wall ivy leaf on that last one! you not think Mody? Why wind and rain it does have a motionless? Oh. Dear Mr. Berman Jingshizhizuo this is?? That night, when the last leaf to fall, He took it painted on the wall. "

That is because her family was too poor. Look at the little girl, I think, is really a living hell, a life in paradise. Danian Ye little girl who sells matches in the cold, but me? Years in the Danian Ye mother delicious meals for my doing, my sister urged me to the side try new clothes, the whole family played music with harmony and happiness.

Corner, the little girl again and again to wipe burning match, imagine the "warm stove, the fragrant duck, the beautiful Christmas tree, kind of the grandmother." This poor little girl, these are just a mirage, but it shows a little girl life, only the cold, hunger, pain and loneliness. How long can she, like other children their own as their own should have all the ah! However, this should have all but completely dashed. And me? In winter, sitting nice and warm in the fire warming himself, his mother also made me rich and delicious meals; summer day, finish school work, they and the children enjoy it playing with the hospital, spread joy and laughter compound ... ...

Why do I and the little girl the same age, living environment is different? This is because she was living under the capitalist social system, and I lived in a socialist system. They where full of cold, heartless, we are full of warmth and love here. However, sometimes I can not very well study hard, and it was to live in happiness, what happiness really ah! From now on, I have to pay close attention to time trying to learn cultural knowledge, we do not have to live up to, ah, to live up to our community, our store for the future to build a better and work hard!

英语读后感二：

"Oh," how the poor little girl! "I am a" Andersens Fairy Tales ", the present can not help but come out of the shadow of small girls, hearts for the little girl secretly miserable fate deplored.

When I read the little girl several times Huazhao matches this section of the fantasy, the heart can not help once again for the tragic fate of little girl sigh. Yes, the uneven distribution of wealth in a capitalist society, the little girl in the weak light of the matches to see Nuanhong Hong stove, the aromatic Kaoe, the beautiful Christmas tree, all the small girls are only fantasies, Simply can not be realized.

Compared little girl, how happy I was, from childhood to the present, I eat Chuannuan, in the home, parents love me in school, teachers and students of concern. Life is so beautiful!

If the little girl growing up in New China, she must also, like us, happily go to school bags on their backs, sitting in a bright classroom listening to the teacher lectures, if little girl growing up in New China, in Danian Ye, she must Mom and Dad eat Mission Nianfan If the little girl growing up in New China, she will for the motherland are proud of the rapid development if……

早就知道《围城》是一部现代文学经典小说，说的是有关男女婚姻的事，书中最经典的就是那句“婚姻就像一座围城，城里的人想出来，城外的人想进去。第一次了解《围城》，知道有这么一本书，知道中国文学史上有位叫钱钟书的作家，是大哥推荐了钱钟书的《围城》，其他的就不怎么记得了。不知那时是因为什么原因竟然未读。现在想来真是可惜啊!说到钱钟书，我觉得有点对不起他老人家，因为我一直把他和钱学森搞混淆。现在想起来觉得当时是多么的幼稚和无知，一位是当代著名的学者，作家，而一位是”导弹之父“，著名科学家。

我一向不太喜欢读长篇小说，这也许跟我的性格有关系，总觉得太长了，没耐心看下去，平时也只看些短篇或微型小说。这可能与我经常喜欢写些东西有关，我写的最多的莫过于一些心情杂文了。我想当初，如果多看些书，尤其是那些经典名著，那时我的作文修为可能更高一些。我一直不看长篇小说，直到这个暑假，恰好妹妹从学校带了本《围城》，我空闲之余就拜读起几年前本该早就读了的《围城》，并一口气读完了。其实上网的时候，曾看过《围城》，那时也只是在上网时断断续续读过，不过不知怎么，也不知为什么，后来就没有读下去，所以直到这个暑假我不算真正读过一部小说。尽管以前也曾翻阅过大仲马的《基督山伯爵》、如梭的《忏悔录》、钱钟书的《围城》，但我以为这个暑假所读的《围城》，才是我真正意义上读的第一部长篇小说。

《英语教学方法与策略》读后感

为了提高自身的英语教学质量和效率,我从学校图书馆借来《英语教学方法与策略》一书,利用业余时间认真地进行了研读,获得了不少教益。

这本书由鲁子问和康淑敏两位专家编写,由华东师范大学出版社出版,可以作为英语教学设计方向研究生教材,也可以作为中小学英语教师设计培训教材使用。我认为在英语学科骨干教师研修班接受培训期间读读这样一本书是再合适不过的。这本书介绍了教学方法与教学策略的相同与差异,提出了教学方法与策略的选择与整合的方法,介绍了英语教学方法的实践操作方法,包括情景教学法、交际教学法、任务教学法和自主学习教学,然后分析了英语教学过程的策略及实践操作方法,并从英语知识教学的策略及实践操作方法、英语技能教学的策略及时间操作方法两方面对英语教学方法与策略的行动研究提供了系统的指导。

编者用六章分别讲了教学方法与教学策略、英语教学方法的实践操作、英语教学过程的策略及实践操作、英语知识教学的策略及实践操作、英语技能教学的策略及实践操作和英语教学方法与策略的行动研究。

该书对相关理论进行了系统、简要的讲解,主要的内容是对英语教学实践的指导与分析。每一节都采用“准备-学习-实践”三部式结构,不仅讲解理论,而且注重教学实践。在每一节的理论讲解之后,都设计了“实践分析”专栏,以强化理论与实践的直接联系。在看每一节的时候,我都是跟着该书的编排形式在不断地调整自己的思维。在准备环节,编者会给出一个案例,让读者思考,遇到此类教学问题该如何解决,此时,我的大脑就会回忆我在教学中有没有遇到过,我又是如何解决的,然后思考怎样才能解决得更好;在学习环节,编者给我们提供了最系统的理论知识,此时我就很认真地研读每一条理论,认真理解每一个概念,为今后的教学活动积累必要的理论知识;在实践部分,我仔细地看了每个实践活动,对于一些比较有价值的活动自己在教学中也尝试着使用。

本书的优点是:1)语言浅显易懂。不像平常的教育着作,带着很多专业术语。2)内容很实用。书中不但简要地介绍教育理论,还举出大量的课堂活动例子,很适合各个层次的外语教师参考。3)描述很细致。书中谈到英语教学中很多细节的东西。4)编排符合读者习惯,发人深思。书中每一章节都会在适当的位置上安排一个文本框,给出一些名词解释或让读者讨论或思考一个问题。如:请讨论,您如何看待Practice makes perfect.它与数量原则有什么关系?训练中如何把握训练的量?

这本书让我羞愧于自己在教学理论和策略方面知识的匮乏,更让我明白英语教学的成功应体现在“培养学习者在真实的情景中有效使用英语的能力”我是一个率性而为的人,很多时候只是随心而教学,不会严格遵循某一教学模式。所以一直以来,教学成绩都没有取得重大突破,而我本人也一直为此烦恼,这本书教会我许多有理论支持的教学方法。如:语法翻译法、直接教学法、认知法、自然法、社团教学法、沉默教学法、全身反应法、暗示教学法。从书中我悟到了想成为一名优秀的教师必须充分认识到“教必有法”的原则性和“教务定法”的灵活性特点之间的统一关系。教师不应拘于一法一策,囿于一方一圆,而是要因地制宜,因材施教,将各类方法加以组合和调配,在吸收、借鉴已有教学方法的基础上,创造性地发挥,逐步形成富有教师个人特色的教学风格。在教学实践中,我根据教学环境、教学目标、教学内容、学生的需求和自身的教学风格适丰富了一下教学方法和策略,收到了一定的效果。

我最受启发的是书中的如下观点:呈现学习任务时,应当向学习者描述任务中的问题发生的物理背景、组织和社会文化背景。并且,问题的呈现必然是有趣的或吸引人的,目的是引导学习者的积极参与。让学习者体现到伸手可及的成功;教学活动的设置应考虑学习者的兴趣,需要和情感;老师可以和学习者商量课堂活动的内容并建议学习者把他们感兴趣的学习材料带回班上。让我陷入长久的沉思的是这个观点:“personalities and relationships are important for motivation”即:教师的性格及其与学习者之间的良好关系在调动学习者学习方面很重要。文中提到“即使我们不能完全改变自己去满足不同学习者的需要,但我们可以主动了解学习者感兴趣的话题,如:流行音乐,年轻人喜欢的电影,新车,科技的发展等。看到这里,对于学生为什么没有积极参与我自以为精心准备的课堂活动,我似乎找到了答案:设计活动时,我只是从教材内容和个人兴趣出发。当学生冷淡对待活动时,我只会埋怨大的学习环境不好,埋怨学生不配合,极少去思考是否学生对内容感兴趣,是否活动的难度适合学生,课堂指令是否清晰等因素。文中还指出:即使学生会使用老师准备好的语言结构,也明确活动的目的,但如果他们缺乏信心,也不会积极参与…所以,对学生及时得体的鼓励相当重要,借用李阳老师的话就是鼓励学生 “Enjoy losing face. Enjoy making mistakes ”总之,要踏上英语教学的成功之路,进行方方面面的准备工作是必要的,

对于以后的教学,我将努力改变陈旧的教学理念,尝试新的教学模式,自始至终把学生放在中心位置:把激发学生的学习热情放在首位,发挥交际教学的优势。是时候改变沉闷的课堂气氛,还学生一个愉快的学习环境了!是时候彻底解放学生,还学生一个可以自主学习的空间了!

其实,单纯阅读只是一个浅层理解词句的过程,我们可能在阅读中很感动,很受启发,但是,几个星期或几个月后,可能我们的思维又回复原状;若把我们的所思所想写下来,联系我们的教学或生活实际加以变通,可能会更长久地影响我们;而如果把我们学到的经验及时应用在教学中或生活中,我们的学生或我们自己则会终身受益,这才是阅读的目的。“热爱阅读、高效阅读、创新阅读”让我们互勉!

A few days ago, I finished reading "Robinson Crusoe" this brilliant novel, the image of a tall, always emerge in front of my eyes, he is brave explorer, navigator Robinson.

前几天，我读完了《鲁滨逊漂流记》这本精彩的小说，一个高大的形象时时浮现在我的眼前，他就是勇敢的探险家，航海家鲁滨逊。他凭着顽强的毅力，永不放弃的精神，实现了自己航海的梦想。特别是他那永不放弃的精神深深的激励着我

《鲁滨逊漂流记》的主要内容是;一个叫鲁滨逊的小男孩对航海非常痴迷，他特别喜欢探险。却遭到父母的反对，但鲁滨逊还是在19岁那一年离开了家，开始了他航海生涯。但是他对航海的种种幻想和憧憬都被狂风巨浪冲走了，他遇上海滩。不过侥幸的是，他被巨浪送到了一座荒无人烟的岛上。从此，鲁滨逊自己动手自力更生，创作出来一片他自己的天地。

我不得不承认自己的软弱与无能。从呱呱坠地到背上书包，父母，学校为我们铺设了成长的道路。我心安理得地在这条平坦的大道上走过了一年又一年，没有挫折那个。其实我根本没有咀嚼过生活的苦涩，我是在糖水里泡大的。然而幸福中的我根本没有体会到能吃饱穿暖，背上书包去上学，每天接受人们的关爱，社会的关注是一种莫大的快乐。

看了《鲁滨逊漂流记》这本书后，让我感慨万分。我们需要具备鲁滨逊那样的刻苦奋斗的精神。学习他对任何事情都不放弃的精神。我们的学习也一样，必须相信自己有能力把各个学科学好，这样在学习过程中才会有一股动力不断促使我们前进。同时，还必须在做好每一件事后力求精。

《鲁滨逊漂流记》向我展示了鲁滨逊自信，自立，自尊，自强，永不满足，不甘平庸的精神;告诉我：鲁滨逊靠自己的诚实，善良，智慧和坚毅，去创建，去开拓。他的精神值得我们去学习。也时刻地激励着我前进。

"Love education" this book let me know a lot of human reason, make my benefit bandit shallow.

I think amway is a filial child, is also a kind of children. He is innocent, lively, active, there are a lot of care in his life his good friend, always encourage him, comfort him, so he can grow up smoothly, also can obtain experience.

Give me the deepest memory is second grades student Betty, he in order to protect a giulio was struck by the carriage is not a grader, is too late to dodge, crushed the foot bone by carriages, after the walk on crutches only. Students to help others in our life, there is, but like his sacrifice themselves to protect others students, we would not have met. See this story, I thought about the newspaper report: a ninety - year - old woman fell to the sidewalk. 20 minutes, not a passer-by to raise her up. Until 120 the ambulance arrived, the old lady had died for about 20 minutes. Also is two people to help, but the results are completely different, a received rescue, lay down his life for his people died a long time to be discovered. The pedestrian to give save ROM. Betty is good as a mile.

It is because the amway division side there are so many good partners, he can understand the world is full of love. It makes me feel this book is very meaningful, let me realize what is unable to destroy the friendship between classmates, what is a meticulous care between teachers and students, what is parents endless love! I believe that if you have these qualities, know what is true, the good and the beautiful people, must be the most beautiful and good life in the world!

《爱的教育》这本书让我知道了许多做人的道理，令我收益匪浅。

我觉得安利科是个孝顺的孩子，也是个善良的孩子。他天真、活泼、好动，在他生活中有许多关怀他的好朋友，时常鼓励他，安慰他，所以他才可以顺利成长，也可以从中获取经验。

给我记忆最深的是二年级的学生罗贝蒂，他为了保护一个一年级的小学生朱利奥不被马车撞到，自己却来不及躲开，被马车把脚骨压碎了，经后只能靠拐杖行走了。在我们的生活中，帮助别人的同学是有的，但像他这样了为保护别人而牺牲自己的同学，我们就不一定有幸遇到了。看到这一个故事，令我想到了报纸上的一则报道：一位九十多岁的老太太倒在人行道上。20分钟里，竟没有一个路人上前搀扶。等到120急救车赶到时，老太太已经去世约20分钟了。同样是两个值得帮助的人，但是遇到的结果却完全不同，一个得到了别人舍命相救，一个去世了很久才被人发现。这些行人跟舍身救人的罗贝蒂简直是差之千里。

正是因为安利科身边有这么多善良的伙伴，他才可以明白这个世界处处充满爱。这让我觉得这本书很有意义，让我体会到什么是同学之间无法摧毁的友谊，什么是师生之间无微不至的关怀，什么是父母永无止境的爱!我相信如果有了这些品质，知道了什么是真、善、美的人，一定是世界上生活的最美好的人!

《小王子》是法国作家安托万·德·圣·埃克苏佩里于1942年写成的著名儿童文学短篇小说。下面，小编为大家分享《小王子》读后感英语版，希望对大家有所帮助！

Title: The Little Prince

Author: Antoine de St-Exupery

Main Characters: The little prince， the pilot， the rose， the fox， the snake， etc。

Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet， I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories。 The tales， which accompany with me in my old days， often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children。 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。 From that the little prince begins to treasure friendship and be responsible to his rose。

At the anniversary day of his descent of the earth， rejecting the pilot’s advice， he goes back to his own planet by bite of a snake。 “It’s too far。 I can not carry this body with me。 It’s too heavy。” he said。 He tells his friend， the pilot， he must be responsible for his rose， so he has to go back。 At the end the author doesn’t tell us the ending directly。 Maybe it’s more significant for us to imagine， and for more， think over。

One of the important characters is the rose。 Growing on the planet， she is very beautiful， but her coquetry and vanity suffer the little prince a lot。 In spite of they love each other， he soon becomes unhappy。 On the time of his departure， he just knows she certainly loves him。 The character of the little prince actually represents the children， and their native thoughts and deeds。 On the contrary， the inhabitants on the other planets， such as the king， the businessman and the conceited man， they also reflect the defects in the grown-up’s world。 The real theme of this fairy-tale with a little sadness， I guess， is the consequence of pure love and friendship in our lives， but not others “matters of consequence” of the grown-ups。

[《小王子》读后感英语版

This book is a little Ducheis the story is about a girl called Sarah, who is all she wanted, but she is not spoiled. 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.

去年暑假，我就看过电视剧《围城》，当时还是被里面的一些情节吸引了，引起了我读《围城》原著的好奇心，只是一直没有时间，手头也没有这本书。直到这个暑假，我从朋友那里借来这本书后，才慢慢读着。

读了这本书，印象最深刻的就是书中的主人公方鸿渐了。方鸿渐这个人，在钱钟书的笔下似乎是一个除了会点舞文弄墨、缺有百般缺点、一无是处的人。他的文凭是买来的，志大才疏、胸无点墨、性格软弱又好强要面子。在和朋友的交往中，表现出假装清高、不通人情世故，有时还很虚伪。但是就是这样一个人，给了我深深的印象。他做事小心、对爱情执着，有时候往往透着一些可爱。

在学业上，出国留学的他居然没有取得文凭，他居然花钱买张假的，这里就体现出他的可爱来。既然作假，国内又很难被查出，自己却还是担惊受怕，怕被发现。好像是一个偷吃了蜂蜜的孩子，怕被母亲发现。

在爱情上，方鸿渐也透出他的可爱来。他同事和三个女性交往，既爱这个，又喜欢那个。后来结婚后，居然发出谈恋爱无用的感慨。事业上，方鸿渐是不得志的。处处是别人的棋子，可是方鸿渐却无奈接受，工作换了一个又一个，却没有放弃，表现出坚持的可爱来。

看《围成》这本书的过程中，里面的幽默、讽刺的用语给了我欢乐;看完后，对主人公方鸿渐的悲剧有深深的感慨。

This year summer vacation, I read the American well-known writer Hemingways novel “ old person and sea ”。 I extremely admire in the novel the senior fishermans will, he let me understand one person certainly must have relentless spirit, only then could obtain successfully.

The novel description is one year near sixty years of age senior fisherman, when alone goes to sea in one fishing, fished one big fish, actually did not pull. The senior fisherman socialized several days after the fish, only then discovered this was the big marlin which one surpassed the oneself fishing boat several fold, although knew perfectly well very difficult to win, but still did not give up. Afterwards and further because in the big marlin wound fish fishy smell brought in several crowds of shark fish snatches the food, but the old person still did not hope like this to give up, finally highlighted encircles tightly, returned to the big fish belt the fishing port, lets other fishermen not admire already.

When I read “ the senior fisherman think: Here to the seacoast really was too near, perhaps could have a bigger fish in a farther place… ” When, I extremely admire this senior fisherman, because he by now already projected on some fish, but he had not settled to the present situation, but was approaches the bigger goal advance. Again has a look us, usually meets one slightly is difficult, we all complain incessantly. We will be the motherland future, will be supposed to like this old person same mind lofty aspiration, will even better pursue even better, the bigger goal.

When I read “ the big marlin start fast to gather round the young fishing boat hover, twined the cable on the mast, the old person right hand lifted up high the steel fork, leapt the water surface in it the flash, did utmost throws to its heart, one wail ended the big fishs life, it was static static floats on the water surface… ” When, my heart also liked together the big stone falls. I extremely admire old person that kind do not dread, the relentless spirit, although knows the match strength is very strong, but he not slightly flinches, but is welcomes difficultly above. Just because had this kind of spirit, the senior fisherman only then achieved this life and death contest success. We also must study senior fishermans spirit in life, handles the matter does not fear the difficulty, only then can obtain successfully.

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingways most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. It played a great part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro. But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.

I first read this book when I was in my fifteens. And now I remember it just as well as if I had read it yesterday.

On summer vacation of this year, I studied in novel " old man and sea " of Hemingway , famous writer of U.S.A. ,. I admire the old fishermans will in the novel very much, he lets me understand that a person must have unremitting spirit, could succeed . What the novel is described is an old fisherman almost the sixty years old, when go to sea and fish alone once, have angled to a big fish, but can not draw. After tough fisherman and fish have socialized for a few days, just find this is a big Malins fish which exceeds several times of ones own fishing boat, though know perfectly well that it is very difficult to win , does not give up yet. Because big Malin fish fishlike smell of wound attract odd herds of shark vie for the food again later, but the old man is still unwilling to give up like this, stress the tight encirclement finally , take the large fish back to fishing port , let other fishmen admire it endlessly. The old fisherman thinks that as I read ": It is really too close from here to coast, perhaps there are bigger fish in the farther place ……" When,admire very much because this old fisherman in the persons, because play not for some fishing he already at this moment I, but he is not satisfied with the existing state of affairs , but advance towards greater goal. Seeing us again, meet some little difficulties at ordinary times , all of us complain bitterly. We are the future of the motherland, should be as ambitious as this old man, go to pursue well , greater goal. Read as me " big Malin fish is it enclose light fishing boat move about , is it get mast to twine cable fast to begin, old man right hand hold steel fork high , jump out in a flash , affording to try ones best above water in it, a sound of wail has finished the life of the loud fish, it floats on the surface of water silently ……"When,the I one heart is too fall like pieces of stone not big. I admire that kind of fearing of the old man at all , unremitting spirit very much, though know rivals strength is very strong , but he has not shrunk back at all , meets the difficulty. Just because there is this kind of spirit, the old fisherman has obtained the victory of the trial of strength of this life and death. We should study the old fishermans spirit too in life, do the thing and is not afraid of the difficulty , could achieve success . Read big blood offensive smell of fish smell one shark , fall over each other to visit to vie for the food, left hand of old man pull a muscle just, he can only use right hand, can weapon attacked to used for defend oneself with stick , mouth of swordfish that catch everything, and has driven away this herd of shark finally. But big meat of fish take into big half already, but old man criticize ones own left hand " when the work this when have a rest " humorously also, I am subdued by old mans optimistic spirit too. In life, some losses are unavoidable, we should treat the optimistic attitude , cant worry about petty gain or loss . Finally, the novel sees with a teenager that old fisherman has 18 feet of big long Malins fish totally in the tolerance , the ones that have described this fish are enormous again, prove that old fishermans difficulty overcome is big, than ordinary. Old fishermans spirit that makes great efforts to struggle fearless of danger and difficulty that the novel has been extolled, we should be like him too, can t be satisfied with the current situation , should be positive upwards, it should be unremitting to do anything, it must not give up halfway to meeting difficulty should meet the difficulty. Only in this way, we could obtain greater success and victory .

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

According to most analyses, The Catcher in the Rye is a bildungsroman, a novel about a young character’s growth into maturity. While it is appropriate to discuss the novel in such terms, Holden Caulfield is an unusual protagonist for a bildungsroman because his central goal is to resist the process of maturity itself. As his thoughts about the Museum of Natural History demonstrate, Holden fears change and is overwhelmed by complexity. He wants everything to be easily understandable and eternally fixed, like the statues of Eskimos and Indians in the museum. He is frightened because he is guilty of the sins he criticizes in others, and because he can’t understand everything around him. But he refuses to acknowledge this fear, expressing it only in a few instances—for example, when he talks about sex and admits that “[s]ex is something I just don’t understand. I swear to God I don’t” (Chapter 9).

Instead of acknowledging that adulthood scares and mystifies him, Holden invents a fantasy that adulthood is a world of superficiality and hypocrisy (“phoniness”), while childhood is a world of innocence, curiosity, and honesty. Nothing reveals his image of these two worlds better than his fantasy about the catcher in the rye: he imagines childhood as an idyllic field of rye in which children romp and play; adulthood, for the children of this world, is equivalent to death—a fatal fall over the edge of a cliff. His created understandings of childhood and adulthood allow Holden to cut himself off from the world by covering himself with a protective armor of cynicism. But as the book progresses, Holden’s experiences, particularly his encounters with Mr. Antolini and Phoebe, reveal the shallowness of his conceptions.

One of the most interesting questions about gullivers travels is whether the houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of swifts satire. in other words, in book iv,is swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act? If we look closely at the way that the houyhnhnms act,we can see that in fact swift does not take them seriously:he uses them to show the dangers of pride.

First we have to see that swift does not even take gullver seriously. for instance,his name sounds much like gullible,which suggests that he will believe anything. also, when he first sees the yahoos and they throw excrement on him,he responds by doing the same in return until they run away.He says, “I must needs discover some more rational being,” even though as a human he is already the most rational being there is. This is why swift refers to erasmus darwins discovery of the origin of the species and the voyage of the beagle to show how gulliver knows that people are at the top of the food chain.But if lemule gulliver is satirized,so are the houyhnhnms,whose voices sound like the call of castrati.

They walk on two legs instead of four, and seem to be much like people.As gulliver says, “it was with the utmost astonishment that I witnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a vienese waltz.To my mind,they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court,even more dextrous than the lord edmund burke.”As this quote demonstrates,gulliver is terribly impressed,but his admiration for the houyhnhnms is short lived because they are so prideful.For instance,the leader of the houyhnhnms claims that he has read all the works of charles dickens,and that he can singlehandedly recite the names of all the kings and queens of england up to george ii.Swift subtly shows that this houyhnhnms pride is misplaced when,in the middle of the intellectual competition,he forgets the name of queen elizabeths husband.

Swifts satire of the houyhnhnms comes out in other ways as well.One of the most memorable scenes is when the dapple grey mare attempts to woo the horse that guenivre has brought with him to the island. first she acts flirtatiously,parading around the bewildered horse.But when this does not have the desired effect,she gets another idea: “as I watched in amazement from my perch in the top of a tree,the sorrel nag dashed off and returned with a yahoo on her back who was yet more monstrous than mr.Pope being fitted by a clothier.She dropped this creature before my nag as if offering up a sacrifice.My horse sniffed the creature and turned away.”

It might seem that we should take this scene seriously as a failed attempt at courtship,and that consequently we should see the grey mare as an unrequited lover.But it makes more sense if we see that swift is being satiric here:It is the female houyhnhnm who makes the move,which would not have happened in eighteenth century england. the houyhnhm is being prideful,and it is that pride that makes him unable to impress gullivers horse. gulliver imagines the horse saying,sblood,the notion of creating the bare backed beast with an animal who had held mr.Pope on her back makes me queezy.

A final indication that the houyhnmns are not meant to be taken seriously occurs when the leader of the houynhms visits lilliput,where he visits the french royal society.He goes into a room in which a scientist is trying to turn wine into water (itself a prideful act that refers to the marriage at gallilee).

The scientist has been working hard at the experiment for many years without success,when the houyhnmn arrives and immediately knows that to do: “the creature no sooner stepped through the doorway than he struck upon a plan. slurping up all the wine in sight, he quickly made water in a bucket that sat near the door.”

He has accomplished the scientists goal,but the scientist is not happy,for his livelihood has now been destroyed.Swifts clear implication is that even though the houyhnhmns are smart,they do not know how to use that knowledge for the benefit of society,only for their own prideful agrandizement.

Throughout gullivers travels,the houyhnhms are shown to be an ideal gone wrong.Though their intent might have been good,they dont know how to do what they want to do because they are filled with pride.They mislead gulliver and they even mislead themselves.The satire on them is particularly well explained by the new born houyhnhm who,having just been born, exclaims,“with this sort of entrance,what must I expect from the rest of my life!”
