今天，黄校长给我们介绍说，观看家长们接送小孩子是他们掘港小学的风景线和传统。他们称之为爱心的传递。刚开始我不能理解为什么这样称呼。也许黄校长看出了我们的疑惑，便讲解、指导了一番。让我们明白了这份爱和责任是如何传递的。

从孩子们下车，到父母们给他们脱掉厚厚的防晨寒的衣物，再到目送孩子们进了校园。这样一切的行为和眼神，都被身在一旁的我们看在眼里，感动在心里。我曾观察到这样一位母亲。目送女儿进了校门之后，本可放心离开。但她一边调转摩托车，目光却一直停留在渐行渐远的女儿身上。调转完毕后，她仍足足驻留了有十五秒钟，直至女儿的背影完全消失不见，才慢慢离开。

黄校长说，只要看到家长们这样的眼神，他们就必须把学校的教育办好，承担好这份沉甸甸的爱和责任。这样的思想，这样的追求，以前丁老师也给我们灌输过。但那时太过不以为然，我们以为好好对学生、认真对学生、全心全意为学生，这又有何难？这两天才明白，哪有我们想象的那么容易！

孩子是家里的唯一，是每个家庭的希望。要想成为一名合格的教师，最基本的道德素质就是爱心和责任。具备了这两点，你才能拥有承担这份沉甸甸责任的资格。

School eduction has played an important role in people’s life. When reaching three tears old, the little children will go to kindergarten for a preschool education. And then they will take part in the primary school, middle school, high school, college and so on. School eduction almost run through people’s whole life. So it is very important. We all know that thereare many knowledgeable teachers in school will teach the students. But it’s not enough. School eduction needs the coordination of family education. The British educator, Hosea Ballou once said,”Education commences at the mother’s knee, and every word spoken within the hearsay of children tends towards the formation of character. Therefore, we can see that the successful of school education needs the help of family education so that the children can have a perfect education. The promissing future is waiting for them.

学校教育在人们的生活中扮演着很重要的角色。在小孩三岁的时候，他们就会去幼儿园进行学前教育。之后他们会去上小学，初中，高中，大学等。学校教育几乎贯穿人的一生。所以它是非常重要的。我们都知道，学校有很多知识渊博的老师来教学生知识。但这是不够的。学校教育需要家庭教育的协调。英国教育家巴卢曾经说过，“教育始于母亲膝下，孩童耳听一言一语，均影响其性格的形成”。因此，我们可以看到，学校教育的成功需要家庭教育的协助，使孩子们拥有一个完善的教育。光明的未来在等着他们。

The topic like “what’s a university?” or “what a university should do?” has been discussed many times in every age. Not only educationalists but also students take into it. Is it necessary to give priority to skills and knowledge in university education as they are essential to employers? Or students in universities should have access to all of knowledge just as they have their own sake? Chose A or B, this is a problem.

The value of knowledge itself need to be considered first in university education even though the course is not as practical as skills and technology. In Chinese culture, morality education is always took at first. It said that the way of real learning is to develop and expand virtue, to innovate peoples’ opinions, to get the best goodness. In addition, there are four stages in the success of a gentleman: first, to cultivate his moral characters; second, regulate his own family; third, rule the state successfully; forth, let the world get peace. In Chinese traditional value, students in university need to develop his morality firstly, though these knowledge is not as useful as other skills after they get a job.

On the other hand, the practicability of a university course is also worth considering, especially in the age when our government call for the attention to skills and technology in university education and when the employees prefer to capacity and practical knowledge of employers. The time in university is limited and conditions and aims of students are different. When students chose which course to learn, it is inevitable for some of them prefer to those which are more needed in workplace.

Universities give equal access to all of knowledge, including the practical courses and others. What’s more, they need give more chance to students to choose what to learn. Congratulate on diversity!

这个话题如“什么是大学?”或“大学应该做什么?在每个时代”已经讨论了许多次。不仅教育家,而且学生参加。有必要为主的技能和知识在大学教育必不可少的雇主?或在大学学生应该有访问所有的知识就像他们自己的缘故吗?选择A或B,这是一个问题。

知识的价值本身需要考虑首先在大学教育虽然不是实用的技能和技术。在中国文化中,道德教育总是带。它说,真正的学习是发展的方式,扩大美德,创新人民的意见,得到最好的善良。此外,一个绅士的成功有四个阶段:首先,培养他的道德角色;第二,调节自己的家庭;第三,统治这个国家成功;,让世界和平。在中国传统价值,学生在大学需要开发他的道德首先,虽然这些知识是不像其他有用的技能后,他们找到一份工作。

另一方面,大学课程的实用性也是值得考虑的,特别是在时代我们的政府呼吁关注大学教育技能和技术,当员工倾向于能力和实践知识的雇主。在大学的时间是有限的,学生的条件和目的是不同的。当学生选择学习哪门课程,这是不可避免的,他们中的一些人更倾向于那些更需要在工作场所。

大学给予平等的访问所有的知识,包括实践课程等。更重要的是,他们需要给学生更多的机会去选择学习什么。祝贺多样性!

[考研英语阅读作文常用教育与科技类主题词

Last year, my parents and I arrived in the United States on the other side of the ocean, living in Chicago, the third largest city in the United States. The city life there is very different from the city life in China.

Special one: building

Most people in China live in public housing or apartments, and there are not so many people in the United States. People usually live in semi-detached houses. The left half of the family, the right half the other family, or up and down two families, the economy many people live in the independent house. The two houses are not large, usually made of beautiful bricks, and the first floor has steps to connect the ground and houses, and the houses are numbered with metal. There was a small garden around the house, with lush trees and green grass, and some tables and chairs. There is a fence outside the garden, a password lock on the fence, someone with a key to the password can go in, so its safe to live in it.

Special 2: traffic

Car penetration in China is lower than in the u.s., where most Chinese residents take public transportation, and almost every home in the United States has a car. Why? Thats because the United States was designed as a big car in the first place. The roads are designed to be spacious and the garage is so much designed that there are few traffic jams or parking Spaces in the United States. Back in China, there are no seats left for the training courses, and the half way is still stuck on the high shelf, so it must get up early to be not late.

Winter in the United States, people dont have to wear thick wool pants and a sweater, because indoor central heating in the winter, go out is given priority to with the car, go out just get in the car, the car also has air conditioning, so dont feel cold. Its kind of like our northeast China.

Special 3: diet

You must be very fond of pizza and cookies. These are the snacks that everyone enjoys during the break. But why eat well and sometimes not to eat? Thats because americans eat high-calorie foods, such as a pizza, so they eat them for dinner. Americans pay more attention to the nutrition of food, like to eat high-protein things, and also like to eat very sweet snack, so you cant burn Chinese food in the United States can only eat these things all day long!

You see how different Chinas urban life is from the American city life!

Author: fourth grade Chen

Comments: the author introduces the life of the United States and China in the way of small title, which is clear and emphases. If you can express your feelings in the introduction, it will bring you closer to the reader.

TINY ghost—like dolls hang from trees， big plastic spiders sit on rooftops and bloody plastic hands reach out from gravestones…Are you ready for the scariest night of the year？

October 31 is Halloween， one of the most popular festivals in the US， Canada and Britain。 The festival began as a day to remember the dead。 But nowadays its all about the carnival atmosphere when people can enjoy dressing up and scaring each other。

Halloween is one of childrens favourite nights of the year。 They dress up as monsters and go to their neighbourshouses。 Knocking on the door they shout： "Trick or treat！" Of course， usually people give them "treats" － a like sweets and chocolates。 But， if you dont， you can expect a prank such as having your car windows soaped or your garbage cans turned over。

Halloween is also a time for masquerade parties。 Witches fly in on broomsticks， while ghosts and skeletons chat on the dance floor。

You can even dress up as a famous monster like Dracula！ The motto is： "The scarier， the better。" 。”

Even making Halloween food should be like casting a spell or mixing a magic drink。 In Britain， people drink "Witchs Mix"， made with apple， orange， grape and berry juice。 Children also enjoy "Halloween Worms，" made from egg noodles。 And how do you like the sound of "Eye—Balls"？ Dont worry， theyre made with scoops of chocolate and vanilla ice cream， shaped like human eyes。 Skeleton—shaped cookies are equally popular。

A well—known Halloween tradition is to make lanterns from pumpkins， called "Jack—o—lanterns"。 First， the inside of the pumpkin is removed。 Then， a face is cut into the pumpkin， traditionally a smiling， devil face。 Finally a candle is placed inside， and the lantern is put at the front of the house to keep evil spirits away。

Besides pumpkin cutting， "apple—bobbing" is another popular game。 Several apples are put floating in water in a big bucket。 Children have their hands tied behind their backs。 They have to try to pick the apples out of the water using only their mouths。 Of course， people get very wet and it is very funny to watch。

[美国万圣节英语作文

这是一很好的片子，但人各有好，我更喜欢柯恩兄弟或姜文拍的那种，带些梦幻色彩，带些悬念的影片。比如柯恩的那部《哥们你在哪里?》我就连看了两遍，非常喜欢。《死亡诗社》是一个古老的、关于守旧与创新、现实与浪漫、新人与老人两股势力二元较量的影片。这是一个类型片，是按公式制作出来的，然而，“魔鬼尽在细节里”，近乎完美的摄影与演出，将这个老套的故事，演绎得美轮美奂。

这部影片很是激发人的思考。考试上名校做医生赚大钱娶美女，并非中国学生的专利。尼尔的父亲也和一个普通中国家长一样，望子成龙，扼杀他的表演兴趣，逼他好好学习，以后上哈佛医学院，结果这小子想不开，开枪自杀了。学校正好要找理由收拾搅翻了一潭水、鼓励学生张扬个性，培养爱好的新来老师 Keating，于是将尼尔之死归咎于他。新来老师被逼走，可是他失去饭碗，得到了不少学生的心。电影的结局是开放的。后事不知如何，然而在我们身边，我们一转身，就会看到个把像Keating 那样的人。其实他们的命运不一，有的人被排斥，有的人被同化，有的人活的好好的，甚至比其他人更成功一些。

理论上说，教育是要把我们培育成改造世界的人，也就是Keating这样的人物。和老同学联系，他们不是问我在哪里高就，而问我在哪里改变这个世界(So, you are out there changing the world?)还有的同学说，等我长大了(毕业了的隐晦说法)，我会像狂风暴雨一样，席卷某某领域(Once I grow up, I am going to take … by storm.)

有时候这是玩笑或自嘲，可是当我们年轻的时候没有这种浪漫，没有这种冲劲，而只是想着如何去适应这个世界，那田鼠和蝼蚁一样的人生，是何等绝望?就如同这电影一开始说的，人到最后，其实会被黄土埋掉，成为虫子的食物，这白驹过隙的一生，怎么着都是一遭，现实的生活只是一种必需，然而从今天活到明天，只关注物质所需，没有一个精神的家园，我们就会和大部分人一样，排队站到灰色的大多数里面，“默默地过着绝望的生活”。如果你偶尔看到这句话，请你反省一下，你现在过的是这种生活吗?如果是，如果你有所不满，是否得像“船长”老师号召的那样，站到桌子上，换个角度去重新看待自己的人生?世界或许和你平时看的不一样。

电影中的老师教授诗歌的时候，将现实主义的诗歌大部分跳过去不教，而侧重于浪漫派诗歌，如惠特曼那种气贯长虹的诗歌。对于除了荷尔蒙一无所有的高中生来说，其实这未尝有什么错误，因为你怎能想象一个十几岁的孩子就那么现实，连一点梦想都没有了呢?有这么一个突破口，有个死亡诗社这样的组织，宣泄一下，或许可以避开更多的问题。至于尼尔的自杀，其实是和老师的教学方法和培育方法没有什么关系。一个有梦想的人，其实也可以不脱离现实。我对那老师跳过现实主义部分的做法也有异议，因为人是可以既现实也有梦想的。这种人才是高人，他有巨人般的身材，头在云端，脚踏大地。

当然，现实中的教育，尤其在工业化革命之后，往往是要把我们塑造成符合现实所用的人，学生不过是送进来，流水线加工后再送出去的产品。这样的教育不是要让我们去改造世界，而是要教我们习惯了被世界改造。已故笑星卡林说过一句话，说把人教聪明，不符合美国统治者的利益。在中国更是这样，把人教蠢，教到只会ABCD打勾选择，是符合当权者利益的。大部分时候，一个新人跑过来，满怀激情地要改变现状，最后往往会被同化掉，或者排挤走，因为大部分体系，都倾向于维持现状。人思想上排斥革新，就像其身体会排斥新药一样。对于大部分资质平平的人来说，那没有办法，只有缩到那灰色的大多数里，还落个平安。如果你够强大的话，你可以改变这个世界。如果你不够，那么世界一般来说会把你给改造过来。当然这未必是坏事。资质欠缺的人在这个世界里安分守己，是他也是他人的福气，因为平庸加激情只会等于折腾。唯有才能和激情加到一起的时候，才有产生积极改变的可能。

不要因为这部电影，认为不越雷池半步才是正道。如果这样的话，建议你去看看电影《浓情巧克力》。如上所述，但凡有能力去改变的人，最好还是去试它一试。千万别以为循规蹈矩一点，“现实一点”，你就会承受地土，得到这个世界。改变是一种冒险，可是将你绑在火刑柱上烧死的时代过去了，如同Outlier一书所示的那样，而今真正改变世界的人，真正的成功者，并非那处在常态分布内的灰色大多数，而是那一个个不愿意默默地、绝望地生活着，而纵身一跳，站到桌子上头，去另眼看世界的人。

the prosperity of a nation depends on the development of education. any development in science and technology throughout the world is due to the development of education which brings up scientists and inventors. it is difficult to emphasize just how important the role of education is. there is no doubt that countries with undeveloped education will remain poor.

education is also vital to the development of an individual. of all elements of success in our careers none is more important than education. it is not genius but the knowledge that makes the difference between success and failure. in fact most of the famous people of our times spent many years studying. can you name any great men you admire who are not well educated ?

some people, however, are still ignorant of the importance of education. some parents, especially those in the countryside, think it unnecessary to send their children to school. some parents have their children work for money at a very young age. in view of this, compulsory education must be enforced to see to it that every young people will be have the chance to receive adequate education.

今天，在将教案交给管老师审批通过后，我开始为第一次的课堂教学做准备，制作课件。

以前在如皋高等师范学校，也开设过这门信息技术课程。我们都学过，但印象不深，到现在也快忘得差不多了。所以不得不重新拿起电脑，一步一步地从头摸索起来。

我边摸索边想：自己以前的学习太过功利了，总以为这些课程有什么用呢？学的时候可以不用太过上心，所以没好好地努力学，只能留着现在后悔了。

但现在我明白这些道理，也许还不算晚。人的一生要做很多事情，有意义或无意义的有的事情的意义和价值不是现在立马就能显现出来的，有可能要等到几年、甚至几十年以后，我们方能体会到他们的价值。

尤其是学习，这种终身性的事情。我们万万不能急功近利，因为这样的学习才是真正的徒劳。

The understanding of American culture must not end with what we know on TV, because she has the most distinctive features of her own, which is diversity. As a country with a large immigrant population, the United States does not have a unique way of life, there is no only standard of conduct, and there is no unique culture. The diversity of the United States penetration in all aspects of the country, the following guidelines may not be able to help you overcome all from the cultural differences, but hope to everyone to prepare for the basic study in the United States and general plan to help.

Americans have a very different lifestyle than Chinese people. American food is light and easy to make, and the main course is meat, fish and chicken. A meal usually consists of only one main course, and salads and coffee are by no means less. Hot dogs and hamburgers are two of the most popular fast foods.

Americans are so active that more than a fifth of them move every year. The most detailed list of houses and apartments available on Sunday in newspapers across the country can be used to find homes or to find local estate agents. In addition to paying for rent, the rent house generally pays for utilities, namely gas, electricity, heating, hot water and simple electrical repairs and other repairs. The rent is usually a month, usually on the first day of the month. Electricity in most parts of the United States is 110-120 volts, 60Hz.

Almost every home in the United States has a car, and the American highway is very developed and accessible, so many americans work very far from where they live. They often go on a family trip during the holidays. The most popular means of transportation in the city are buses and subways. The subway is usually run day and night. Taxis are usually paid by distance or by distance. The whole country executes the right driving, the big city executes traffic regulation especially strict.

The American concept of time

Because of the fierce competition, the American society is full of movement and change, people are always in a hurry, and the result also has formed the americans time view of tension. "Time is money" is the most accurate expression of the American attitude to time. Americans value time more than just because they think time is a tangible thing, but more importantly they recognize the urgency and lack of time. Americans believe that the question of time can fully reflect a persons self-cultivation, and his respect for others. Therefore, it is necessary to have a detailed schedule and strict adherence to it.

So we stress that being on time is not just about the individuals schedule, but if youre not on time, it reflects your lack of respect for others time. In the study of life, apart from being on time, it is necessary to observe the deadline of various learning tasks. American schools generally teach students a subject, and then a group of students form a study group. Everyone is responsible for different aspects of learning team, if you dont have the prescribed deadline to complete you responsible for that part, influence is the whole teams performance, it is also a lot of American students constantly complaining about a problem. So being on time is a basic requirement for studying and living in the United States.

The way americans communicate

Talking to people is the most basic form of interpersonal communication. When youre talking to friends from all over the world, youre not just talking to each other, youre communicating with each other. The way language is expressed can often reflect the characteristics of a particular region or country.

Direct refreshing

Most of the time, conversations in the United States belong to a tendency to get information. They like to ask a lot of questions, and in a very direct way. They will use the most simple and direct language to get the information they want, the process, if they do not pay too much attention to wording beautiful, whether express tactfully, it sometimes inevitably conceded the interlocutors have a feeling not too polite. Answer this question, too, when the answer is no, americans will tell you "no" directly, also wont go to touch up for his answer, and if you dont have to know in advance to their speech habits, it felt embarrassed is inevitable.

Positive questions

Another obvious feature of the American way of communication is that there is no hesitation in asking questions. In the course of conversation, if americans dont understand what they dont understand, they often ask each other questions in a timely manner until they understand it. This feature is encouraged in class. In American classrooms, students can present any questions to the classroom at any time, and the lecturers will be more than happy to answer questions for students. Therefore, American classroom will always make students absorb knowledge in a relaxed, interactive and positive atmosphere.

body language

The tools of human communication are not just words, but body language. Spoke of the gestures, body posture, and facial expressions are the key to proper use of body language, we will divide the occasion, object, subject of flexible adjustment and use body language. Eye contact is the key of the above elements. Keep your eyes on the other side of the conversation while youre talking. This is something americans value too much.

Here are a few topics that can be used to talk to almost all americans:

Weather and mood

Some of my past experiences

My own campus life, or work content

Car, fashion, shopping, TV, music, clothing and other casual topics

At the same time, we should avoid the following topics:

Savings, income and other topics related to the personal economic situation

Family situation

Religious beliefs and so on

The last thing to note is that when you dont have a good grasp of your sense of humor, its best not to play it at will. You know, different countries, different culture, have different understanding of humor, and the appropriate humor can active conversation atmosphere, it is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstanding, or conversely.

Were divided into 50 states, each state has different administrative rules and regulations, combined with geographical location, climate condition difference, leads to the residents of the states have different living habits. The same is true of Americas diversity.

Climate change is a top priority. On the other hand is psychological preparation. Residents in different regions have different characteristics, such as: the east people look is always in a hurry, rush about for work, but with their southern leisurely, quiet and warm hospitality is famous for its character, the residents of the Midwests character can be described as practical, stubborn, and tradition, the western residents seem to be more independent, attach importance to individualism, live along the west coast of the United States people impressed us is recreational, relaxed and optional. Youre going to be on a trip to the United States, and youre going to have to look at the cities where youre going to school, and youre going to have a general idea of what youre going to do in these areas.

对于美国文化的认识决不能止于从电视上了解到的内容，因为，她有着自己最鲜明的特点，那就是多样性。作为一个拥有庞大移民人口的国家而言，美国不存在唯一的生活方式，不存在唯一的行为标准，更不存在唯一的文化。美国的多样性渗透在国家的各个方面，以下的指南也许不能帮你克服所有因文化差异而带来的困扰，但希望能对大家为留学美国而做的基本准备和大致计划有所帮助。

美国人的生活习惯与中国人有很大不同，美国食物味道清淡，制作简单迅速，主菜为肉、鱼、鸡类。一餐中一般仅一道主菜，而沙拉和咖啡是绝不能少的。热狗和汉堡包是最流行的两种快速食品。

美国人生性好动，每年都有超过1/5的人搬家。各地星期日的报纸登载周内租售房屋与寓所的最详尽名单，可以通过这些资料找房子，也可以找当地的地产经纪人。租房子除要付租外，一般还要付公用事业费，即煤气、电、暖气、热水和简单的电器修理及其他修理费。租金通常一个月，一般每月的第一天付。美国大部分地区的电力为110-120伏，60Hz。

美国几乎每家都有小汽车，美国的高速路十分发达，四通八达，因此很多美国人工作地点与居住地很远。在假日里，他们经常全家驾车出游。市内最常用的交通工具是公共汽车和地铁。地铁一般都是日夜开行。出租汽车一般按路程(短程)或时间(远程)计费。全国实行靠右行车，大城市执行交通法规尤为严格。

美国人的时间观念

美国社会由于竞争激烈，充满了运动和变化，人们始终处于奔忙之中，结果也就养成了美国人的紧张时间观。“时间就是金钱”这句话是美国人对于时间的态度的最准确表达。美国人对于时间的珍视不仅仅因为他们认为时间是一种切实的事物，更重要的是他们认识到了时间的紧迫和缺乏。美国人相信，在时间的问题上可以充分反应出一个人的自身素质修养，以及他对于他人的尊重。所以，有一份详细的作息时间表，并严格的遵守它，是相当必要的。

所以我们强调做到准时，不仅仅是关乎到个人的日程安排，若你没有做到准时，反应出的是你对他人时间的不尊重。在学习生活中，除了准时上课外，更需要遵守的是各种学习任务的截止时间安排。美国学校的教学方式一般是老师安排给学生一项课题，然后会由学生几个人之间结成学习小组共同来进行。学习小组中的每个人都会负责不同的方面，如果你没有在规定的截止日期内完成你负责的那一部分，影响的就是整个小组的成绩，这也是很多美国学生不断在抱怨的一个问题。所以，做到准时是在美国学习和生活的一个最基本的要求。

美国人的交流方式

与人交谈是人际交往中最基础的形式。当你与来自世界各地的朋友们交谈时，你们之间交流的不仅仅是彼此的观点和话题，更深层次的是在进行着文化的交流。语言表达的方式往往可以反应出某个地区或是某个国家的特色。

◎直接爽快

大多时候，美国人的谈话属于有一种想要获取信息的趋势。他们喜欢提出很多问题，并且是用很直接的方式。他们会用最简单直接的语言表达来获取自己想要的信息，这过程中，他们并不太在意措辞是否优美，意思表达是否婉转等问题，这有时不免会让与之对话者有一种不太礼貌的感觉。回答问题也是一样，当答案是否定的时候，美国人会直接告诉你“不“，同样不会去为他的答案进行润色，若是你没有提前了解到他们这种说话习惯，那感觉尴尬就是在所难免的了。

◎积极提问

美国人的交流方式中还有一个明显的特点就是毫不犹豫的提问。在交谈过程中，如果美国人有不明白，没听清的地方时，他们通常会及时的向对方把问题提出，直到弄懂为止。这一特点在课堂上成为被鼓励的做法。在美国的课堂上，学生可以随时向授课教室提出任何相关问题，而授课者都会极为乐意的为学生解答问题。所以，美国的课堂总是会让学生在轻松，互动，积极的氛围里吸收知识。

◎肢体语言

人类交流的工具不仅仅是语言，还有肢体语言。说话时的手势，身体的姿势，以及脸部的表情都是恰当运用肢体语言的关键，我们要分场合，分对象，分话题的灵活调整和运用肢体语言。其中目光接触则是上述要素中的关键。交谈时要时刻保持自己的目光是与对方相接触的，目光自然和善即可。这一点也是美国人相当看重的。

这里我们给大家提供几个很适合与几乎所有美国人交谈的话题：

天气情况和心情

自己以往的某些经历

自己的校园生活，或是工作内容

汽车，时尚，购物，影视，音乐，服装等休闲话题

同时我们应该避免以下话题：

存款，收入等与个人经济情况有关的话题

家庭情况

宗教信仰等等

最后需要提醒大家的一点是，当你对自己的幽默感并没有十足的把握时，最好不要随意发挥它。要知道，不同国家，不同文化，对幽默的认识是有所不同的，恰当的幽默可以活跃谈话气氛，反之则很容易引起不必要的误解或是不愉快。

美国一共划分为50个州，每个州都有不同的行政法规，再加上地理位置，气候条件的差异，就导致了各州的居民都有着不同的生活习惯。这里同样体现的是美国的多样性。

气候不同是首要考虑的问题。另外一方面就是心理上的准备。不同地区的居民有着不同的性格特征，比如：东部的人看起来总是匆匆忙忙的，为工作而奔波着，南部的人却是以他们悠闲，平静并且热情好客的性格特点而闻名，中西部的居民的性格可以被形容成实际的，固执的，还有一点传统，西部居民显得比较独立，重视个人主义，沿西海岸居住的美国人给我们的印象就是休闲，放松，随意。将要踏上美国之旅的你，需要针对就读学校所处城市，在这些方面搜集资料，提前有个大体的概念。

As the saying goes: women kiss offer more to its parent when no memory in young. I have also recognized but I turn to. I do not know who is not often youyue. My first kiss from memory dedicated to love people in my most beautiful years. Who ever thought that things were always against.

俗话说：女人亲吻，在青春没有记忆时给予父母更多。我也承认，但我转向。我不知道是不是经常优越。我的初吻，从记忆中，献给爱的人，在我最美的年华里。谁曾经认为事情总是反对。

In today＇s society, more and more adults return to the university, sit in the classroom, open the textbook again in order to further their education.What they study involves a lot of subjectsnot only English and computer used in all trades as tools,but also more professional ones such as MBA courses. Different from thecollegestudentswho may know little aboutwhat they＇ll major in the college before they are engaged in it, the adults make their choices for some simple and definite reasons,which can be roughly classified into three groups, the requirement of the job market, the desire for higher salary and the need for entertainment and relaxation.

In the era characterized of rapid development of technology,it is not so easy to find or to secure a job for the intense competition. As a result, adults feel what they studied in school is far from enough to deal with the work in hand. Thus, "to charge the battery" is listed into schedule by more and more people. For example, Mr. Wang, an accountant in a big company, suddenly realized it was too hard for him to understand technical terms coming from his young colleagues. And worst of all, they ap

peared in the program of their new business. So, firmly, he entered for a weekend course on accountancy for a further degree.

But in some cases, people prefer reeducation just for money,which partly results from the professional job title system in China. Although virtually unrelated to people＇s own jobs, a few certificates are fervently pursued by some middle aged men and women just because they are the criteria for a higher title, which means some one hundred Yuan or so will be added to their salary. So it＇s the eagerness to grasp money rather than to study render them to return to the class.

It is true that severe pressure of making a living stirs some people to pursue further education.However,this is not the case as far as another group of people are concerned. These people, with domestic and occupational stability, feel a lack of interest in their life. So, they turn to some courses such as music and arts and literature, which may be their childhood dream. Education of this type can relax their nerves, make them more graceful and their life more colorful.

Mainly for the three reasons mentioned above, an increasingly large number of adults in modern society came back to classroom after they stepped out of the campus.Whatever reasons lead to their reeducation, our society benefits a lot from the endeavor of these adults.To name just a few, the workers＇ quality improves, and the income of education industry increascs... And more people are continuing to join the team of adult learners.By the way,if youpay a little attention to your parents, you＇ll probably find a brand new College English Course which you have just finished is on his or her desk now.

[关于成人教育的英语作文阅读

the ways of history are so intricate and the motivations of human actions so complex that it is always hazardous to attempt to represent events covering a number of years, a multiplicity of persons, and distant localities as the expression of one intellectual or social movement; yet the historical process which culminated in the ascent of thomas jefferson to the presidency can be regarded as the outstanding example not only of the birth of a new way of life but of nationalism as a new way of life.

the american revolution represents the link between the seventeenth century, in which modern england became conscious of itself, and the awakening of modern europe at the end of the eighteenth century. it may seem strange that the march of history should have had to cross the atlantic ocean, but only in the north american colonies could a struggle for civic liberty lead also to the foundation of a new nation.

here, in the popular rising against a "tyrannical" government, the fruits were more than the securing of a freer constitution. they included the growth of a nation born in liberty by the will of the people, not from the roots of common descent, a geographic entity, or the ambitions of king or dynasty.

with the american nation, for the first time, a nation was born, not in the dim past of history but before the eyes of the whole world.
