surface. Most of it, however, is in the oceans and is too salty to drink. Also,
some of it is frozen and cannot be used. In fact, less than one percent is left
for the use of people, animals and plant life. All through history men have
tried to build their homes near the sources of fresh water. Now fresh water is
becoming scarce, but more and more is needed because of the increasing number of
people in the world. Some industries also use large amounts of fresh water in
the production of things such as steel, petroleum, paper and rubber and so on.
Scientists estimate that the need for fresh water will have doubled by the year
2003. If they are correct, we must find new ways of saving it or producing it.
Some nations have worked on the problem and are already sharing their
information with others. They are trying to keep their rivers from becoming
polluted. Deep wells are also being dug, and rain water is being collected in
huge artificial lakes. In one way or another, they hope to provide enough water

篇10:关于my hobby英语
全文共 827 字
+ 加入清单Today many college students have their own hobbies. For example, some of
them like singing; some of them enjoy playing the guitar; some of them are keen
on painting; some of them are crazy about taking photos, and so on.
I think it’s meaning for college students to have hobbies, because hobbies
can benefit them a lot. On one hand, after a long-time study, hobbies can make
them feel relaxed. On the other hand, when they feel depressed, hobbies can
bring them happiness. Furthermore, hobbies can mould their temperament as well
as show their characteristics.
However, some students are so addicted to their hobbies that they spend
less time on study. How foolish of them to do so! In my view, if we focus too
much on one thing, either our studies or hobbies will be badly affected. Thus,
we are supposed to balance them in a proper way.
篇11:选择的英语作文100字

+ 加入清单"Yeah, right. It isn’t that easy." I protested.
"Yes it is, " Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away
all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to
situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a
good mood or bad mood. The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live life. "
I reflected on what Michael said.
Soon thereafter, I left the big enterprise that I had worked in for years
to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often though about him when I
made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard
Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a
communications tower.
After l8 hours of surgery, and weeks of intensive care, Michael was
released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I saw Michael about six
months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were
any better, I’d be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but
did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my
soon-to-born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground,
remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I
chose to live." "Weren’t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked.
Michael continued, "... the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was
going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the operation room and I saw the
expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In
their eyes, l read ’He’s a dead man.’ I knew I needed to take action." "What did
you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me”
said Michael. "She asked me if I was allergic to anything. ‘Yes,’ I said. The
doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep
breath and yelled", ‘Gravity’” Over their laughter, I told them, ’I’m choosing
to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead’."
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his
amazing attitude. I Learned from him that every day we have a choice to live
fully. Attitude is everything.

篇14:关于梦想英语年级
全文共 1267 字
+ 加入清单When we are children, there are lots of people ask about our dreams, and
our answers most are doctors, policemen, teachers etc. But when we grow up, we
have to face the reality, not everyone would realize childhood dreams, and some
of these dreams even are unrealistic which will never be able to achieve.
Therefore, we need correctly treat the relationship between dream and
reality.
First of all, dream is the spiritual power to encourage people progress.
Napoleon once said: “He is a bad soldier who doesnt dream of becoming a
general”. In the process of growing up, we must want to give up our purpose when
encounter difficulties, and at the moment, dreams would be the power for us to
insist on.
Second, reality is a reflection of the real environment. Many people think
dream is heaven, and reality is hell, but in my opinion, reality is a
double-edged sword which makes us keep a sense of crisis. When young people
addicted to the unpractical dreams, reality would awaken them which would avoid
them make wrong judgment.
In my opinion, both dream and reality are important, young people cant
ignore one of them. The most critical thing in life is using positive attitude
to face the constantly changing society, and strive to cultivate interests,
which will be easier to succeed.

篇16:2024初中英语教师个人工作计划
全文共 2868 字
+ 加入清单一、指导思想
目前初三的英语教学中,因种种因素,造就了相当一部分英语学习比较困难,并伴有的差生。因此对这部分学生加强心理指导,培养培养的心理素质,帮助他们尽快走出困境,成为学习的主人,就显得十分必要。学科教学是学校教育的主渠道、主阵地,学科学习是学生的主导活动,学生大量的心理困惑都产生于学习过程中,各种人格品质也在学科的学习中得到发展。英语作为语言学科,在教学中加强德育及心理方面渗透工作,坚持以人为本,坚持教育创新,坚持______,坚持内涵发展,以行为习惯养成教育为重点,以加强细节教育。
二、工作要点
对于向学生进行思想教育、品德教育、科学文化教育和心理素质教育,在本学期的教学中加强德育工作如下:
(一)有敬业精神,热爱学生。
要用自己的爱来唤起和培养学生对学习的爱,从而引伸到对生活的爱。其实,英语课堂教学不只是语言知识的学习和操练,而是一种温馨的情感交流、智慧潜能的开发,社会__交际能力的早期培养,是师生共同创造精神生活的活动。因此教师在教学中,要尊重学生的人格,建立平等、互相尊重的和谐师生关系,使学生在宽松、融洽、愉快的氛围中进行学习的同时,品德得到培养,性格得到完善。
(二)创新教育让学困生自主学习
传统的英语教学模式中,学生自使自终是被动者,即使是一些很有天赋的好学生。久而久之,也缺乏了创造力。不少学生的学习参与意识差,不愿主动思考和提出问题,更不主动解决问题。依赖于教师现成的说教答案,因此,教师必须更新教学观念,树立心的学生观和教学观。我认为,新的学生观最本质的内容就是在教学中真正能够树立合作教学的观念新的学生观念作根本的出发点就是尊重学生,在英语教学汇总充分发挥每个学生的主体作用,使他们真正成为学习的主人。
(三)渗透情感与学生建立良好的师生关系
情感具有迁移作用。亲其师,则信其道。学生对老师的情感能改善学生对所学学科的倾向性。只要师生建立起相互信赖的感情,学生对老师所提出的要求就容易接受。我们的教学活动能就比较顺利地开展。学困生并非自然固有。学困生渴求得到尊重与关心,信任与理解。教师只有用真诚的爱才能使他们感到温暖,消除自卑,树立信心,才能使他们自尊、自爱、奋发进取。我认为,对于学困生,只要我们真诚地给予关心和帮助,他们也会以爱和敬意来回报我们。他们是不会让老师失望的。
(四)赏识教育让学困生树立自信心
自尊心是一个人对自身的评价,对自身存在的价值和态度的体现。任何学生都有自尊心和荣誉感,每当自己在学习上取得点滴成绩时,总希望得到老师的表扬,学困生更是如此。差生由于羞怯心理,往往在课堂上不敢开口,因此,我对学困生从不大声呵斥,而是具体深入地分析他们之所以差的原因,然后对症下药,循循善诱,在加强辅导的同时,根据学生的发展情况进行有弹性的鼓励。实践证明:利用语言表扬、神情暗示、肢体示意等多种方法,给予学困生以的鼓励是行之有效的,能使他们对自己充满自信,树立学好英语的信心。
2022初中英语教师个人工作计划【篇六】 2022 junior high school English teacher personal work plan [Chapter 6]
一、指导思想
在本学期的英语教学中,坚持以下面的教学理念为指导:第一,切实地了解学生的真实水平,注意衔接,尽快使学生适应我的英语教学;第二,教学要面向全体学生,关注学生的情感,激发他们学习英语的兴趣;第三,以学生为主体,尊重个体差异,因材施教;第四,在新课标的指导下,倡导学生体验参与学习,完成设计目标;第五,注重过程性评价,建立能鼓励学生自主学习能力发展提高的综合评价体系。
二、学生情况分析
本届学生在英语基础方面很薄弱,由于在以前学习英语的过程中,没有很详细全面地学习音标,基本的音标和字母拼读都没有掌握好。在词汇,语法规则等方面存在很多缺漏。所以,在听、说、读、写这四项技能上,学生水平存在很大差异。
另外,学生在学习策略和情感态度方面也存在诸多需要进一步解决的问题。例如:许多学生不能明确学习英语的目的,学习缺乏主动性、自觉性;大多数同学没有养成良好的学习习惯,不能做好课前预习和课后复习工作,学习没有计划性和策略性,也不注意知识的积累和巩固。
最后,学生对新教材缺乏一定程度上的了解,还不适应新课改指导下的一些教学方法。在课堂上,习惯像以往被动地接受所传授的知识,不善于发现和总结语言规律,学习的主体性不突出。
三、教材与教辅的分析
1、内容与结构
每一单元除了关注阅读、写作、听力、视听说等语言实践活动,还关注语言知识、情感态度、文化意识和学习策略等。其中,教材加强了文化意识的提高和学生学习策略的培养,是相较于以前教材很大的不同。
2、教材的特点
首先突出学习者的发展,包括注重学习策略的培养和使用;注重提高学生的语言认知能力;为教师和学生提供个性化的选择;其次努力提高学生用英语进行思维和表达的能力。具体为:为学生提供更多的体验真实语言的机会;精心设计教学活动,使学生看到明确的目标和明确的成果;为学生发展语言运用能力提供详尽的语言支持;重视复现。
3、教材的重难点
该套教材强调学生综合语言运用能力的培养和提高,所以重点在于培养学生用英语获取信息、处理信息的能力;用英语分析问题、解决问题的能力;用英语进行思维和表达的能力。难点在于学生在情感态度和学习策略上的改变,达到用英语思维和表达的目标。
4、教学目标
⑴总体目标:激发学生学习英语的兴趣,树立自信心。在整个教学过程中,让学生有丰富的生活常识、多文化背景的积累,并形成正确人生观、价值观,有积极的情感态度和跨文化的交际能力。同时培养自主学习能力,积累学习方法。
⑵具体目标:结合学生基础知识过于薄弱的实际,在教学刚开始的阶段,注意高一和初中知识的衔接,例如复习音标和字母拼读规律,积累基础词汇、词语搭配、句型,熟悉不同单元呈现的语法规则,掌握实际用法。希望第一学期后,学生能培养学习的兴趣,养成较好的学习习惯,对基础知识有一定的掌握。
5、教学措施
⑴让学生每天积累几个单词,利用“互测及教师抽查”及时检查,保证效果并坚持下去。
⑵认真贯彻晨读制度:规定晨读内容,加强监督,保证晨读效果。
⑶实行过程性评价,调动学生积极性,通过不同方式的检测,让进步的同学体会到成就感,让落后的同学找出差距,感受压力。由此在班里形成浓厚的学习氛围,培养学生健康向上的人格和竞争意识。
⑷关注学生的情感,营造宽松、民主、和谐的教学氛围。
⑸在教学中根据目标并结合教学内容,创造性地设计贴近学生实际的教学活动,吸引和组织他们积极参与。学生通过思考、调查、讨论、交流和合作等方式,学习和使用英语,完成学习任务。
⑹经常进行教学反思,适时调整教学方法,符合学生的真实情况,利于学生的有效性学习。
从所任课班级实际情况和本身条件出发,认真进行思考和改正。多关注学科教研的发展,多多听课向有经验的老师虚心学习,取之所长,多和同事交流探讨,交换教学思想和方法,避己所短,不断进步。积极参与学科的相关课题研究,撰写论文,参加教研组,备课组的教研活动。
篇17:关于光盘行动英语
全文共 1535 字
+ 加入清单On January, 2013, the public started a campaign called Clean Your Plate. This campaign aims to call on people to save food instead of wasting anything on the plates. The main theme of this activity is do not waste any food, starting with me. This campaign was first started from Sina weibo. Just a few days, tens of thousands people in China have joined in this meaningful activity.
In my humble opinion, everybody should join in this campaign. As we all know, the Chinese traditional virtue is to be thrifty even we are live in a better life. According to the latest survey, more than 50 million tons of food is being dumped in China every year. This wasted food can feed about 200 million people for a year. The old generation usually appreciates the leftover, if there is any food in the plate, they will eat them up; while the younger generation will dump the leftovers into the dustbin, they rather spend the money on other food instead of eating leftovers. I think such behavior is not only waste of food and money, but also broadcast the wrong idea that wasting food is acceptable. People should come to realize the importance of saving food. The governments should also take measures to reduce food wastage and encourage people to eat at home. What’s more, people should put an end to the expensive feasts and banquets.
I think this campaign should be moving on. Saving food for our offspring is everybody’s responsibility. Even if you’re a wealthy man, you still need to eat up the food on your plate. Waste is not a good habit.
