有关学习外语的建议的英语作文（实用20篇）

We need to follow all kinds of public rules, such as the manner rules and

the traffic regulation. If we break the rules, then all the work will be out of

order and everybody will suffer the loss. But few people just ignore the rules

and waste other people’s time and money.

Chinese high speed train has won many praise from foreign people. The

trains always start off as the timetable and reach the destination on time. High

speed train is popular by the public by its speed and punctuality, but what if

someone breaks the traffic rule? Recently, a video got popular on the Internet.

A woman was stuck in the door of high speed train and the staffs tried to stop

her but failed. She said her husband was on the way and she wanted the train to

start off later. How ridiculous it was. How could she let all the passengers to

wait for her. Everybody’s time is precious.

Though the woman apologized after the policemen’s education, what she did

discomforts the public. The way she acted wasted the public’s time. It is our

duty to follow rules and keep the public in order.

这个周末我怀着极为紧张而激动的心情做完了2011年山西英语试题，效果颇不理想，反思之后，我对醋初三新学期的英语有了新的计划。

基础知识应该多加巩固，我其实早有人说过，基础才是万物之源，只有学好的基础，才能研究更深更高的东西，所以我一定要把基础这关掌控好。也是只有掌握了基础，这关才能研究更好的东西，才能将英语学好。我的失分点有很大部分都是因为基础选择题而起的，所以我一定要多次巩固这些失分点，将简单容易的题目一个不漏才能稳操胜券。

任务型阅读要多训练。其实古代就有一句话叫做熟能生巧，只有多做题多练习，才能得到更好的效果，我只有做多做这些任务型阅读题，才能将这类题做得纯熟，只有成熟才能达到更好的分数。我的主要缺点就是做这些题的时候有些急躁了，常常没有看清题，便急于下手导致错误。比如有些单词明明我可以看清，但是我却看错了，所以写下的答案也是错误的，就丢掉了分，下次的时候我一定要把他看清楚之后才动笔，争取达到，做一道对一道滴滴不漏。还有我一定要多加训练，不急不躁，不丢分。

英语的完形阅读题型可谓是最难的，这不仅考查对词汇的理解，而且对语法的运用也蕴含在其中，这样还对情感价值的追寻以及对文章理解的娴熟程度，我应该在多后前后连贯，将文章连同下来的阅读通顺的阅读，将此类型题目做好。

其实英语学习虽然看似很难很繁琐，但是实际上很简单，只要多练多学多做多题，所以就会将英语学习好好，学好了英语才能为祖国争光，因为，有一句话：learn Eglish better too strong to the china！正如其所说，学好英语才是强国之本！

Spring Festival is my favourite festival. This years Spring Festival is in

February 8th. On New Years Eve, everyone will wear new clothes. My parents and

I will go to the Grandpa and grandmas home to eat Nian Yefan. This is the

tradition of our family. At the dinner table, my grandmother will prepare a lot

of dishes for us to cook hot pot. These dishes are very delicious. Everyone ate

very happy. We have forgotten the troubles of the past year, happy to greet the

new year. After dinner, I will go back home with my parents. In eight, I will be

fireworks at the threshold of our home. They are very beautiful. Doing this will

make me feel very happy. After I put the fireworks, I will watch the Spring

Festival Gala. The Gala adds a mood of celebration in the house as people laugh,

discuss and enjoy the performance. At eleven, my parents gave me 200 yuan. This

is my years new years money. 0 ocolck, the new years bell sounded, we have

ushered in the new year. I made a wish. I hoped that that we could have a happy

and healthy life ne--t year and everyone in my family could be happy.

The first day of the new year, my father and I had the red antithetical

Spring Festival couplets on our doors. Every Spring Festival, both urban and

rural areas, each household must select a red couplets affi--ed to the door in

order to increase the festive atmosphere. I also cleaned the room with my mom.

After the event, I will visit friends and relatives with my parents. This is the

custom of the Chinese people to celebrate the Spring Festival.

This is my Spring Festival holiday, I had a very happy. What about you?

Today, we have a health class. The main content is the harm of haze.

We watched a movie called "the harm of haze", which mainly explained how

terrible haze is.

Haze passed through our bodies, just like games. It comes to the blood

vessel first, let the partners block the blood vessel together, so our blood

pressure will rise; it also has a partner who is less than 0.5cm and has a knife

in both hands, and can directly pass through the blood vessel; it comes to the

internal organs, which are like a tree, and there is white fat like a giant,

which can directly eat the dirty things. However, we have iron ore in our body.

If we eat too much white fat, we will die. This is a blood station! So the

resistance of man has decreased. Its finally at the center - the heart, because

we just blocked your blood vessels, so your heart will cause myocardial

ischemia. "Tremble! Human beings! Im in every breath of yours, "cried haze.

Haze has a great influence on us. With haze, we cant play in the

playground, cant have physical education class, and we need to wear a little

annoying mask. Therefore, we should protect the environment and nature. As long

as you start little by little, you will be able to achieve the results you

want.

I had a joyful summer vacation. During the holidays, I traveled with my

families.

We went to Beijing and stayed there for four days. We lived in the hotel.

It is very beautiful. We visited to the Tiananmen Square, the Imperial Palace,

the Summer Palace and the Old Summer Palace.

We also went to the Great Wall. The weather was very hot, but we were

exciting. I like Beijing very much. I hope I can go there again.

Nowadays, English has been the international language. In China, the children have to learn English since their primary education. In some cities, the children even start their English study in kindergarten. Most parents even hire a tutor to help their children to learn English. There is no doubt that English as the international language plays the important role in communication. My uncle travels a lot around the world. He has been to many countries. Every time when he returns, I will listen to his stories. I have heard of many wonderful journeys. My uncle likes to communicate with people from other countries, so he can learn the different culture. I want to live as my uncle, but the first thing for me to do is to master English, so that I can communicate with most people and have fun.

Last week, our school held an activity to the nursing house to visit the

old people. I was so excited to be a volunteer, because it was my first time to

join such big activity. When we got there, the old people were so happy to see

us. They smiled all the time. We brought them some fruit and presents, and they

were so moved. When we chatted face in face, they talked about the old times and

the happiness they had. I thought about my grandparents, who lived in the

hometown. I should spend more time with them. Being a volunteer is such a

precious experience for me.

Last weekend, I wanted to swim in the river that I usually wen in the

childhood. When I went there, I was shock. The river is no longer like before.

It was full of rubbish. It seemed that the rubbish is from the villagers

themselves. In order to put the rubbish nearer, they put all of them into the

river. Not only the water is not clean any more, the river also smelt bad. I

real touched. Why human and the environment couldn’t live harmonious? Long time

ago, they could get along with each other. Why not now? People have to stop

their behavior to harm the environment. Otherwise, it would cause destruction to

both sides.

[英语作文：我的家庭学习

I am not a brave girl, I am afraid of losing face in front of my friends

and parents, so I always let the chance go and refuse to try. Once, I have a

chance to take a performance in the Christmas show, but thinking about if I

performed badly, all my friends would laugh at me, so I gave up the chance. But

now, I am tired of letting so many chances to go, I want to try, after seeing my

friends take all the chances to try, I am not going to be the outsider all the

time, I want to live my own life and make some differences. People say failure

is not terrible, the unforgettable thing are to lose the courage to try and then

making all kinds of excuses. Let’s take out our courage and do what we want to

do.

12月6日，中宣部、公安部向社会发布全国“最美基层民警”先进事迹。

全国“最美基层民警”始终以铁一般的理想信念、铁一般的责任担当、铁一般的过硬本领、铁一般的纪律作风，坚决捍卫政治安全、维护社会安定、保障人民安宁，用汗水、鲜血乃至生命书写着新时代“最美”的警察人生。

12月8日，全区各地组织民警、辅警、学警收看了“最美基层民警发布仪式”，掀起致敬学习全国“最美基层民警”热潮。广大公安民警纷纷表示，全国“最美基层民警”的先进事迹感人至深、催人奋进，要向他们看齐，汇聚起磅礴的奋进力量，不忘初心、牢记使命，永做党和人民的忠诚卫士。

呼和浩特市公安局民警谢丹被榜样的事迹鼓舞：榜样的力量是无穷的，最美基层民警忠诚履职、敬业奉献的感人事迹，展现了敢担当、能担当、善担当的优秀品质，展现了党员干部对党忠诚、服务人民、执法公正、纪律严明的良好精神风貌，是我们在“不忘初心牢记使命”主题教育中对照学习、检查整改工作作风上存在突出问题的一面生动镜子，是我们培育和践行社会主义核心价值观的一面标杆和榜样。

“在电视中收听收看‘最美基层民警发布仪式’时，我一次次被每个典型事迹感动着，他们美在无私奉献，美在勇于担当。”内蒙古大兴安岭森林公安局程义军被他们的事迹深深感动，他表示作为一名森林公安民警，在今后的工作中会向身边的先进典型刘安看齐，学习先进们扎根基层、爱岗敬业的奉献精神，学习他们无私奉献，勇于牺牲的品质，即使在平凡的工作岗位上，也不忘从警初心，牢记职责使命，以更加饱满的精神状态，踏踏实实做好本职工作，用实际行动践行主席对新时代公安工作的“十六字"总要求，永远做党和人民的忠诚卫士，为筑牢“两个屏障”做出新的贡献。

锡林郭勒盟公安局政治部的刘洋在观看过“最美基层民警发布仪式”后被张恕同志事迹感动。她表示：“张恕的精神，是我们年轻一辈学习的榜样，我将会以英雄的事迹鞭策自己，始终围绕中心、服务大局、心系群众，全力以赴做好本职工作，即使在平凡的岗位上也要让自己发光发热，不负青春赋予的激情和斗志，保持一颗砥砺前行的坚定意志。”

阿拉善盟公安局政治部民警陈泽南观看仪式后感受颇深：一支队伍，有了先进典型的引领，才能走得更坚定;一支队伍，有了榜样精神的滋养，才能走得更长远。在扎实开展“不忘初心、牢记使命”主题教育之际，一个个“最美基层民警”的名字犹如耀眼的星星，闪烁在时代星空，给予了如我一般，长年扎根在基层、奉献在群众中的警察更鲜明的价值引领：政治过硬、实绩突出、群众认可、倾斜一线。榜样不是高高在上的，而是可亲可近可学的，最美基层民警，就在我们的身边。作为一名宣传民警，在今后的工作中，我要和战友们把笔触和镜头对准身边的基层民警，将他们身上蕴含的精神力量传递给更多的人们，让榜样精神的种子根植在阿拉善警营，真正走进群众心里。

“‘最美基层民警’启示着我们美是美在心灵里、美在行为上、更是根植于道德中。我们作为公职人员，尤其是窗口服务单位更要不怕辛劳，不怕麻烦，把人民群众的呼声作为第一信号，把为人民服务细化到每一处细节。将人民警察核心价值观内化于心、外化于行。我们一定要坚守初心，用真心为民办事，积极凝聚道德力量，不断传递正能量。”巴彦淖尔市杭锦后旗公安局户政科教导员乌日根说。

海拉尔公安分局特警大队韩雪在观看了最美基层民警报道后被他们的事迹深深打动：此次表彰的“最美基层民警”，扎根在基层的他们，想民之所想、急民之所急、用情用心服务人民，始终将为人民服务为出发点和落脚点，始终牢记人民公安的宗旨，用行动践行使命：战斗在一线的他们，独处大漠高原、坚守牧区岗位、护卫国门边境，他们以特一般的理想信念、铁一般的纪律作风、捍卫着社会治安、国家安全，他们战胜寒冷、战胜孤寂、战胜自己，只为人民的安居乐业、为社会的治安稳定、为国家安定繁荣而奉献自己。他们的奉献精神、职业操守、政治站位、使命担当值得被推崇，他们是公安的旗帜和榜样，我们应该学习和发扬他们的精神。我们要将以“最美基层民警”为榜样，要将学习实际成效转化为锐意进取、开拓创新的精气神和埋头苦干、真抓实干的务实作风，以忠诚干净担当的政治品格，为公安事业奉献自己的一份力量，保持不忘初心、践行使命。

赤峰市公安局民警王彦召说：“最美基层民警”是优秀基层公安民警的代表，他们长期扎根基层一线，承担着公安工作中最基础、最繁琐、最重要的工作，满腔热情为人民群众服务,他们身上那份无私奉献的精神、勇于担当的情怀，值得我们学习。

基层民警无私奉献。

他们既要打击犯罪维护社会治安，又要为求助群众排忧解难。他们常常牺牲周末、节假日休息的时间，与家人聚少离多，一做就是一辈子，将毕生精力奉献给党和人民的事业，令人肃然起敬。

基层民警勇于担当。

当人民群众的生命财产受到威胁时，为了人民群众的利益不受损失，他们向威胁人民群众利益的不法分子亮剑，常常置个人安危于不顾，这种勇于担当的精神，这种大无畏的牺牲精神，值得我们学习。

“最美基层民警”，美在无私奉献，美在勇于担当，他们是新时代最可爱的人，是值得学习、值得尊重的榜样!

much.What about you?

four seasons. It is hot in summer and cold in winter. the days are long in

summer and short in winter. In spring it is warm and the days are getting

longer. In autumn it is cool and the days are getting shorter.

在课堂授课的中学英语课堂条件下，“面对全体学生”的理念和学生人数众多的客观事实之间形成了一种矛盾，对教师是一个很大的挑战。相当多的教师仍然采用教授语言点和布置练习并讲评的模式上课，教师自始至终是课堂的主角，学生被动地接受，缺乏主动性，因此课堂沉闷是一个普遍现象，很多学生渐渐失去了兴趣甚至厌学，把学习看作是沉重的负担。

1.口语练习课的合作学习教学活动设计。

利用多媒体技术可以丰富和活跃口语课堂。多媒体技术能将社会、文化背景等人文因素形象化、具体化，使口语活动更具体化。口语活动设计可以采用采访与协商讨论;小组实践与拼图游戏等，恰当组织小组分工合作。同时，在设计口语任务时要难易得当。教学任务既要切合实际又要有一定的灵活性和挑战性，

2.精读课文的合作学习教学设计。

预先阅读阶段中的小组合作学习。在正式阅读课文前,教师可根据阅读文章的内容等提出一些问题，供学生思考、回答，以激发学生阅读的兴趣，为下一步的阅读作好准备。阅读阶段的小组合作学习——重心转向课文理解。这一阶段可以分为大意理解和细节阅读两个层次。大意理解要求学生寻找段落大意和文章大意，教师可以设计一些问题进行检测，如要求学生能够找到段落主题句，或做课文后的阅读理解练习。阅读后阶段的小组合作学习。此阶段旨在对课文内容进行梳理、总结，进而引发深层次的理解和思考。要求学生在课上规定时间内用英语写课文内容总结或读后感。然后，小组成员互相修改，每组派代表课上宣读。课后，教师随机抽查其他学生写作和修改的情况。在此过程中，学生可以将新课的词汇、短语等语言基础知识学以致用，同时锻炼写作能力。

3.写作课的合作学习教学设计。

英语写作能够比较客观地反映学生多方面的语言运用能力。然而在传统教学中教师对写作教学重视不够，往往导致学生英语写作能力较差。教学中采用合作式的写作模式，遵循“熟悉写作要求——小组讨论——合作写作——教师点评”的教学步骤。在熟悉写作要求阶段，教师布置写作任务，使学生熟悉写作要求。小组讨论由组长组织，学生根据教师和小组其他成员的意见进行构思、讨论、措辞等，充分发挥他们的思维能力来进行写作和修改，这有助于他们发现写作中存在的问题。在教师点评阶段，教师对各组展示的作品进行点评，指出共同错误，表扬优秀作品。这种合作式的协作写作课堂能充分调动学生的积极性和主动性，并且每个学生都得到提高。

4.选择适当的合作学习时机。

合作学习是课堂教学的一种重要方式，但不是唯一的方式。我们应该根据教学内容，学生实际等因素，让学生进行合作学习。一般来说，对于复杂、综合的学习内容，可以采用小组合作的学习方式，教师要根据教学内容的特点精心设计小组合作学习的“问题“为学生提供适当的，带有一定挑战性的学习对象或任务。通过竞争让学生获得小小的成功体验，增强他们学习英语的信心，同时也让学生在竞争中自觉完善自己。

5.构建结构合理的合作小组。

教师在构建合作小组时，应注意结构的合理性。一是小组人数要合理，一般以4~6人为宜，人数太多不利于学生间的交流和个人才能的充分展示;人数太少也不利于学生间的交流和互助;二是分组应遵循“组间同质，组内异质，优势互补”的原则，即按照学生的知识基础，学习能力，性格特点的差异进行分组，使每个小组都有高、中、低三个层次的学生，这样分组不但有利于学生间的优势互补，相互促进，而且为全班各小组之间的公平竞争打下了基础;三是小组成员应是动态的，可以根据内容的不同互换角色，这不仅使学生有新鲜感，提高合作学习的兴趣，而且可以改变学生在小组中长期形成的地位，即有的学生始终处于控制地位，有的学生始终处于从属地位，给每个学生提供发展的机会。

总之，在提高中学公共英语课堂教学水平方面，小组合作学习教学模式值得广大中学公共英语教师去探索和发展。合作学习以“学生为中心”的教学理念有助于形成积极有效的学习氛围，从而激励学生学习;它有利于激发学生对课堂教学活动的参与欲望，同时能培养学生的学习成就感和团队精神。

In the young generation, their lifestyle is different from the old

peoples. They like to stay up and join many night activities, then they wake up

very late. The new expression of brunch fits them so much, which means the

people to have a meal combining with breakfast and lunch. But their health is

under threat. Some young peoples stomach hurts and cant digest food well. In

order to keep healthy, we need to do some exercise and eat food regularly.

Whats more, the balanced diet is very important, as the saying that an apple a

day, keeps the doctor away, so we need to eat properly. The healthy lifestyle

makes us live happily.

从小学三年级到初中三年级，我的英语学习之路已经走过了整整六年。从这六年的英语学习中，我感受到了许多，也体会到了许多。但是又如何成为一个好的英语学习者呢？许多人都有相同的疑问。

人们常说，兴趣是最好的老师，在学习中这个法则也同样适用。如果你对哪一科感了兴趣，你就算是废寝忘食地学习它，也不会感觉到丝毫的疲倦和困意。其实这样更是一种学习的好办法：对所学的知识产生兴趣，产生热爱。也是只有这样，你的大脑才会运转得更活跃，记忆力才会更强，想象力才会更丰富，学习知识才更能得心应手。如果你对他没有兴趣的话，天天就如同看天书般对待那些知识的课本，那你就会时时刻刻都感到无聊，感到疲倦，从而得不到一个好的分数。

要想学习好英语，最重要的就是练习。总结许多人的经验来说，题海战术并不是完全没有道理的。英语的许多阅读题，就是靠多次练习掌握的一种做题技巧，英语的口语发音题，也是通过多次的练习读背而产生的语感，这样才能在英语听力以及各种英语考试中大展身手，获得成功。英语练习，千万不要盲目的练习，一定有目的性，练习自己薄弱的领域，不要眉毛胡子一把抓。大好的时光都放在那些自己本来就已经掌握的很熟练的知识上，从而浪费了时间，浪费了精力。

习惯是最好的成功引路者。有了良好的学习习惯，才有了更好的学习方向和学习目标。比如你在学英语的时候，不妨把英语单词抄在一个小型的笔记本上，带在身上，到哪里就背哪里，所以这样做和一个假强化记忆是个学英语更加努力，更加得心应手。而如果你也不这样做的话，英语单词是很快就会忘掉的，知识需要强化巩固，才能达到记忆深刻的效果！

学习英语路漫漫，同学们，不妨把这些学习英语的好方法都用到你的学习中。将你的英语成绩提高得，如同大鹏展翅般——蒸蒸日上！

As a student, I expect the winter holiday very much, because I don’t have

to go to school every day. So I can sleep and get up late. But this winter

holiday, I am not very happy. I didn’t do well in the final exam. It makes my

parents disappointed. I feel sorry to them. Besides, I got ill the whole winter

holiday. I caught a cold at first and then had a fever. I had to see a doctor

every day. My parents worried much about me. Because of the illness, I didn’t

have a good time during the New Year. Now, I am a little better. I hope I could

be well soon, because the new term is beginning. I don’t want to go to school

with illness.

Many years ago, some scholars were strongly against the certification of

English test that was a must for a student to get the degree. So some colleges

canceled the rules. But recently, The Chinese first class university announced

that swimming skill is necessary for degree. It has been the hot issue, then

many people give their opinions.

On the one hand, some people are favorable of this regulation, because

swimming skill is really important. Most of the accidents happened in the river.

The swimming skill can protect them from dying. What’s more, foreign schools

take the swimming class as the regular lesson. So almost every foreign kid can

swim, which is the basic skill.

On the other hand, some people argue that even the student can’t swim, they

can’t be denied by lacking the swimming skill. They need the degree to find a

job. They are equipped with many skills and are capable of a lot of things.

Their ability has nothing to do with swimming skill.

I think that school should open the class for students to learn swimming

skill. If they fail, they still can make up by learning other lesson. The degree

can be got by many ways.

"Bumper harvest, bumper harvest!"!" Cried one of the fishermen, happily

jumping up like a child. After a while, the full cabin fish alive and kicking,

calm sea filled with coming from all sides of the fishermens

laughter.........

Now, like this "fish and shrimp full cabin" scene has been very rare. In

todays market, is the most common fish pound at least to dozens of yuan, more

serious pollution of the ocean, the ocean resources gradually dried up, seafood

production, prices rise, it illustrates this point?

In the ocean of natural calamities and man-made misfortunes emerge in an

endless stream today, human pollution is often not from the original intention,

but it is caused by the unexpected effect. The British Petroleum oil, because

the drilling platform explosion, caused by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico,

to 9900 square kilometers of sea water is seriously polluted, so that tens of

thousands of seabirds soaked in oil to move, die in hunger and misery, makes

countless fish poisoning death; and the Japanese earthquake and tsunami

triggered a nuclear leak the marine pollution is more serious......

The sea is so vast that it is because the rivers and streams flow into the

Yangtze River and then run into the sea. If we do not solve the pollution

problem from the source, then no matter how people clean up the sea, there will

always be sewage flowing into the sea, and all the efforts will be futile. Now,

streams and streams are often seriously polluted, or they become places where

people dump rubbish or are loaded with pesticide cans. Finding a clear stream in

an inhabited area can be very difficult today!

In any case, the protection of the oceans can not be achieved by individual

forces, and the protection of the oceans depends on the joint efforts of all

mankind. I do not want one day in the future, our descendants can only imagine

the image of the vast and wide sea.

This is not only the wish of a pupil, but also the wish of all mankind,

isnt it?

Its almost the end of April. Summer has come to us in my city. In south,

summer always comes earlier than north. It has been hot for about half a month.

The highest temperature reached 37 degree. Now, there are much less people in

the street. People are not likely to go out during the summer. Its so hot

outside. Swimming is the most favorite activity in my city. The pools are always

full filled with people. Parents often take their children to swimming pool at

night. Personally, I do not like summer, because its too hot and the sunshine

is strong. I sweat a lot and that makes me very uncomfortable. Therefore, summer

is tough time for me and I always expect winter to come.

ncreased stress results in increased productivity--up to a point. However,

this level differs for each of us. Its very much like the stress on a violin

string. Not enough produces a dull. harsh sound. Too much makes sharp, annoying

noir, or causes the string to snap. However, just the right degree can create

magnificent tones. Similarly, we all need to find the proper level of stress

that promotes optimal performance, and enables us to make harmonious music. Good

health is more than just the absence of illness. Rather, it is a very robust

state of physical and emotional well being that acknowledges the importance and

inseparability of mind/body relationships. In the next program. I hope you will

join me in the pursuit of learning how to exploit stress, so that it can work

for you. and make you more productive, rather than self-destructive.
