There is no doubt that learning English is vital for us. On the one hand,

English has become an international language that people can communicate with

each other in many countries. On the other hand, if we learn English well, we

could get more chance of success.

However, it is well-known that there are many methods for us to learn

English well. There are some tips. First, we can study in a group to improve

learning efficiency. Second, we could listen to English songs and watch English

movies; this way is very suitable for student to improve their listening and

speaking abilities. Third, I have believed that a great deal of practice can

strengthen language knowledge.

In a word, it is natural for us to learn English well by making efforts. If

we didnt work hard, we would never do well in learning English.

The conception of money is different for the old and the young. The old

generation believes that money should be saved in case of the urgent situation,

while most young people think that money should be spent to realize its value.

When I was struggled about the different opinions, I saw the news report about a

man got back his money that he saved in the early 1990s, which was about 1000

RMB. People made their comment that this amount of money meant so much at that

time, which could buy a nice big house, while today it was just a big meal in

the restaurant. This news inspired me to make reasonable plan of money. The old

way to treat money is not suitable, because money will lose its value as time

goes by. I choose to spend part of money while saving another part of it.

老人和年轻人对于钱的概念是不一样的。老一代认为钱应该存起来,以防紧急需要,然而大多数年轻人认为,钱花出去才能实现它的价值。在我纠结这两个不同观点时,我看见了一则新闻报道,是关于一个人拿出了他在19世纪20年代存的钱,大约1000元人民币。有人说这钱在当时就是一大笔钱,可以买一栋漂亮的大房子了,但是现在只能在餐馆大吃一顿。这个消息激发了我要合理规划金钱的想法。老一辈对待金钱的方式是不对的,因为钱随着时间的流逝价值也会贬值。我会选择花一部分、存一部分。

篇13:准备英语作文考试技巧

全文共 1365 字

+ 加入清单

英语写作对许多考生来说是令人头痛的难题。究其原因,造成写作困难的因素很多,根据我们对考生的了解,可归结为以下两个主要方面。

第一,在外语学习五项能力――听、说、读、写、译――的训练方面,学生从中学到大学在听、说、读三项能力方面得到的训练比较多,而在写的能力上得到的培养最少,有时最基本的写句训练都是靠做选择项的形式来完成的,很少有真正动手写的机会;因而很多学生在做语法题或改错时有敏锐的辩别力,能够找出很复杂的语法错误,可是一旦自己真正动笔写,却错误多得不得了,而且很多都是最简单最基本的语法错误。所以,平时写的少,练的少,是构成写作困难的主要原因。

第二,不少学生缺乏对写作知识和写作技巧的了解和学习。他们一写作文,就感到脑子空空,不知如何下笔,写起来也是想到哪儿,写到哪儿,有时还东拼西凑,因而写作文时,常常是低水平上的重复,提高不快。如果能了解和学习一些英语写作知识,加上适当的指导和训练,写作水平会很快得到提高。考生要根据所给题目、素材、写作提纲、规定情景或图表等在40分钟内写出不少于150词的短文。要求内容切题,表达清楚,意义连贯,语言比较规范。根据大纲的要求,考生要想在短文写作中取得高分,首先要具备两方面的英语基本功:一是较强的句子表达水平,句子要写正确、表达准确到位,要有一定的英语修辞知识。二要具备英语语篇写作知识,这样才能适应不同类型的命题,主动灵活有条理地运用自己的语言知识和能力写好短文。此外,考生还应对作文考题有一定的了解,知己知彼才能稳操胜券。

考题特点

(1)作文选材均为热门话题并贴近生活作文选题范围均为当今社会的热门话题,从电视广告到希望工程,从父母与子女的关系到拥有健康的重要性,从世界烟民现状到近年盛行一时的“承诺”,环境保护,无不反映了当前公众最为关注的事。

(2)文体多为说明文与议论文说明文和议论文用途较广,我们平时接触的文章、报纸、信件等等多为这两种体裁。在工作岗位上所撰写的材料大多也是说明文或议论文。因而考这种体裁的写作比较符合实际需要。

(3)出题形式趋于多样化。这一变革显示了对提高考生的实际运用语言能力的重视,同时也要求考生要在多写多练上下功夫,这样对才能在作文考试中夺取高分。提高笔头表达能力是关键:我们希望广大考生要在切实提高英语写作水平上下功夫,不能靠扣题、押题或背诵一些短文应付考试,其结果必然与希望的相差甚远。背诵是学习英语的一种好方法,但仅靠背诵来提高英语写作水平是不够的。写作水平的提高还是要靠亲自动笔写,多写多练,把学到的语言知识运用到写作中去。

考生可以参考以下方法进行写作练习。

1.多读范文多读范文能使考生了解写作方法,写作的常用词汇,记住其中一些比较好的用法。

2.多写作文12月前应该每周写一篇作文并且要把每一篇写好,不要在一个水平上反复重复,要力争写好每一篇,这样写几篇后就会有收获。临近考试,可以按照规定时间写作,此时写作的题目要广泛,各种话题都要写一些,以增强适应性。

3.写作时可以多查字典,不看范文写作时遇到不会写的词句要多查字典,还要看该词的用法,这样才能保证正确使用;写前不要看范文,看了范文会影响自己的思路,写完后再参看范文。

4.注意书写整齐平时写作就要注意书写整齐,规范,要在平时养成良好习惯,在考场上才能发挥得好。字迹潦草,卷面不干净会影响成绩。

篇14:第一节英语口语课日记

全文共 633 字

今天上去,我们去学英语口语。我们的英语老师叫Tom,他跟我以前的外交老师Mike有点像。

我们先相互问候一下,Tom老师先问我们:“what’s your name?”然后,他把我们的名字一一写下。他一个一个的问,我们一个一个的回答。

然后,他问:“who can picture(draw)?”

我们都不举手,因为我们都不知道该画什么?

后来,英语老师Tom请了一个人,他的名字叫tony。我们看一看,原来呀,是叫我们画人物,按照书上的画。

他第二个叫的是dear,他第三个叫的就是我了,我画的非常好。等我们都画完,他把我们今天学的单词都画了下来,我们一节课学了6个单词,然后,他跟我们玩了一个游戏,就是喊到谁有的东西,我们就指向谁。比如说,老师:“who is wearing glasses?”,我们就指向他,一齐说:“tearcher is wearing glasses!”

这个游戏一直玩到下课。然后,Tom老师说:“class is over!let’s rest for five minters。”

等第二节课开始上课后,我们就先复习了一下上节课学的单词.然后,Tom老师又带我们做了游戏。正好来了一个老师,给我们发东西了。他给tony发了一个帽子,给jimy、dear各发了一副眼镜。这个游戏的规则还是跟上节课一样。

他问我们:“who is wearing a hat?”

我们就一起说:“tony!”

最好玩的是,有一次,让我戴眼镜,我不仅戴了眼镜,还戴了帽子。
