+ 加入清单however mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.it is not so bad as you are.it looks poorest when you are richest.the fault-finder will find faults in paradise.love your life,poor as it is.you may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.the setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich mans abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.i do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.
the towns poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.may be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.
cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,turn the old,return to them.things do not change;we change.sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

+ 加入清单a country maid was walking along with a can of milk upon her head,when she fell into the following train of reflections."the money for which i shall sell this milk will enable me to increase my stock of eggs to three hundred,these eggs,allowing for what may prove addle,and what may be destroyed by vermin,will produce at least two hundred and fifty chickens.the chickens will be fit to carry to market just at the time when poultry is always dear;so that by the new year i cannot fail of having money enough to purchase a new gown.green-let me consider-yes,green becomes my complexion best .and green it shall be, in this dress i will go to the fair,where all young fellows will strive to have me for a parter;but no-i shall refuse every one of them,and with a disdainful toss turn from them."

篇8:听说读写单词必须过关
全文共 281 字
+ 加入清单4月底完成新课教学,英语同样需要1个多月时间总结复习。复习教材的范围是4~6年级的6册书,其中较偏向于5年级、6年级的课本。这些教材每个单元的知识点都要仔细梳理、回忆,做到心中有数。
作为基础,小学阶段的单词、词汇很重要,学生必须熟练掌握重点单词、词汇的拼读、记忆。5年级、6年级的“四会单词”(要求会读、会听、会说、会写的单词)一定要过关,在复习时要注意记忆单词的方法,一般学过的单词回头再次记忆并不难。可以将单词有意识地分类记忆,如颜色、食物、生活用品等,也可以尝试同学之间进行“单词大比拼”,看看谁记得比较多等,这样可以降低背诵的难度,同时增加记忆的趣味性。

篇11:原则三:“具体化”单词优先
全文共 1287 字
+ 加入清单请先对比以下几组句子:
【例句1】I go to school everyday.
【例句2】I ride to school everyday.
在课堂上,笔者经常以这两个句子为例,讲解“具体化”的重要性。很多同学都能感觉到例句2要比例句1好。究其原因,是例句2中的rode比例句1中的went更加具体:went只表达了“去”的意思,而rode不但表达出“去”的意思,还能表达出具体的交通方式。也就是说,例句2表达的信息量比例句1更加丰富。
再如:
【例句3】Mr Wang is a good teacher.
【例句4】Mr Wang is a kind, patient and knowledgeable teacher.
例句3只表达出Mr Wang是一个“好”老师,而到底“好”在哪些方面,却没有具体说清楚;例句4则清楚地告诉读者,Mr Wang好在三个方面:和蔼(kind)、耐心(patient)以及知识丰富(knowledgeable)。
因此,我们必须学会换用更为具体的单词表达我们的思想,如:
(8)adj. 学习
黯然低分词:learn
闪光高分词:research研究;pick up偶然学到,顺便学到,轻松学到;master掌握
(9)n. 好老师
黯然低分词:a good teacher
闪光高分词:a kind, patient and knowledgeable English teacher一个善良、耐心、博学的老师
当然,除了替换某些表意抽象的单词,我们还可以通过增加细节成分,使表达更为具体,如,例句2可以加上同伴、心情等信息,进一步改写成:
【例句5】I,together with Tom and Jerry, rode to the Zhongshan park yesterday,feeling rather excited.
同样的,例句4也可以加上一个定语从句,写出Mr Wang到底擅长哪些事情,如:
【例句6】Mr Wang is a kind, patient and knowledgeable teacher who knows how to enlighten us students.
可以看到,例句5和例句6两个句子采用“具体化”的手段,将原本毫无生气的句子顿时变得生动形象了。
综上所述,想让你的表达“具体化”,一共有两种常用方法,其一,是换掉某些表意不明确的单词,换上表意更加明确具体的单词;其二,是在句中适当增加细节成分。“具体化”的好处,是让句子的含义更加丰富,让读者更容易由句子展开丰富的联想,随着作者一起经历、一起思考、一起感动。在平时的学习、训练中,与其生硬地使用超纲词汇,不如好好熟悉大纲单词,用好“具体化”的两种方法,为你的作文增光添彩。
事实上,“具体化”在汉语写作中也有同样的体现。比如,要表达“惜别”的感情,光说“再见”是不够的,应该像诗人那样,用具体化的细节带动感情,写出梦幻般的文字:“让我与你握别/ 再轻轻抽出我的手/ 知道思念从此生根/ 浮云白日/ 山川庄严温柔...”
这就是“具体化”的作用,你体会到了吗?

篇14:熟练记住单词
全文共 1311 字
+ 加入清单( 1.) 巩固单词拼写,培养组句能力。 词汇匮乏是妨碍英语写作的最大障碍之一,有话想说,无词可写是大部分学生的苦恼。因此,我要求学生坚持每天听写、默写、循环记忆单词,掌握巩固词汇。还要求学生给出与单词有关的同义、近义、反义和词形相似的词,使词汇量得到最大限度的复现。如:反义词appear/disappear, crowded/uncrowded, polite/impolite/rude. 词形相似的的词except/expect, chance/change/challenge. 还以某一词为中心,写出该词的不同形式或词性,组成典型的句型,从而不断丰富词汇和句型。如拼写单词die 时,不但要写出其过去式过去分词died,而且要写出其他词性(death, dead, dying), 再分别组句,如:The old man died two years ago. He has been dead for two years. His death made his dog very sad. It is dying.又如写到易混淆的词pay, spend, cost, take 时,可以多种方式表达句意。He paid 20 yuan for the book. He spent 20 yuan on the book. He spent 20 yuan buying the book. The book cost him 20 yuan. It takes him 20 minutes to read the book every day.等等。这样,通过大量的词汇练习不仅仅能有效地积累词汇,还为组句打下了基础,同时还能训练学生的发散性思维和总结、归纳、比较的能力,为学生正确使用词句奠定了良好的基础。以上这些机械操练虽然枯燥,但很有必要,它是能力培养的基础。在词句落实的基础上,可向学生提出稍高的要求,如写出高质量的句子: What a happy family I have ! (I have a happy family.) The story is so interesting that everyone likes it.( The story is very interesting. Everyone likes it. ) He didn’t come to school, because he was ill. (He was ill. He didn’t come to school.) I am good at not only English but also math.(I am good at English and I am good at math ,too. )( 2、) 阅读背诵精彩段落,围绕单元话题设计书面表达。 阅读是写作的熟练记住每一话题的单词。熟记单词后让他们能够熟练的运用,能够把重点单词用来造句。然后熟记词组,特别是能够熟练的运用词组,能够用词组熟练造句。用词组和单词连成简单句,只要学生将句子表达清楚,语意连贯,就是一篇好的英语文章。
篇15:形象记忆单词作文450字
全文共 440 字
+ 加入清单我们同时学习了猫cat和帽子cap两个单词,仅一个字母之差,许多孩子都将它们混淆,怎么办呢?
找出它们的不同,与实物联系形象记忆。这是我的思路,思路有了,想法随之就出来了。这个帽子最后一个字母“p”把它横过来看,半圆恰似帽子的帽顶,那一竖可以当成帽檐,猫的最后一个字母“t”一横看作猫的胡子,竖弯看作猫的尾巴,这样一来,果然孩子们不再将它们混淆。
我还经常启发孩子开动脑筋,一起想。在我的鼓励下,孩子果然有创意。当区分礼帽hat和猫cat时,有个同学就说将礼帽的第一个字母“h”看作帽顶,而把猫的第一个字母“c”看作是猫的尾巴。再如学习眼睛eye和耳朵ear时,我告诉孩子们这两个单词有一样多的字母,第一个字母都一样,原来有很多同学都分不清,你有什么办法区分它们俩?孩子们一起动脑思考,有一个孩子的想法就非常好,她说:将眼睛的两个“e”看作眼睛,中间的“y”看作鼻子,就记住了眼睛,另一个就是耳朵。
看孩子们比我们更有想象力,一定要努力为孩子创造想象的源泉和空间。这是我义不容辞的责任。

篇18:保护环境作文英语80个单词
全文共 1236 字
+ 加入清单Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.
This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living.
In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.
When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.
