艺考生个人自我介绍四篇 作文英语(经典20篇)

在中国,凡逢春节和其他的喜庆日子,人们总要燃放爆竹来表示庆贺.燃放爆竹可以说是中国民间一个十分重要的风俗习惯.

爆竹也叫"炮竹","爆仗","炮仗",平常人们更习惯叫"鞭炮",有大约2000多年的历史了.最早的爆竹叫"庭燎".是用竹竿一类的东西做成火炬,燃烧时发出噼噼啪啪的爆裂声,也叫"爆竿.

燃放爆竹风俗最早起因于驱鬼除邪,祈求一年的吉祥顺利.传说,有个叫做"山臊"的四角怪兽和恶鬼平常藏在深山,每隔365天便出来伤害人畜.这些无恶不做的坏东西害怕爆炸的声音和亮光.于是,每到岁末年首,人们就争着燃放鞭炮,用来驱赶"山臊"和恶鬼.

中国的唐代发明火药以后,人们便把火药放进竹筒,点燃后发出巨大的声音,这种爆竹叫做"爆竹筒".到了宋代,爆竹的制作方法改为把火药装进用纸卷成的筒里,名字也叫爆竹了.后来人们开始把许多小的炮仗用药线连接起来,成为"一发连百余响不绝"的鞭炮.讲究的鞭炮用红颜色的纸制作,鞭炮爆炸后,红屑满地,人称"满地红",表示吉利.随着发展,鞭炮的品种和色彩也由原来的单调发展得丰富多彩,有小鞭炮,电光雷,母子雷,射天炮,百头,千头鞭,甚至还有几万头长的鞭炮.

现在,随着人们环保意识的加强,燃放鞭炮的习俗在中国很多大城市中受到禁止.但是,聪明的中国人依然想出了其他热闹的庆祝节日的办法.

Nowadays playing computer games is a very common hobbies, especially among young people and teenagers. However there are many arguements on whether computer games are advantageous to people or not.

Although many people doubt the advantages of computer games, if used wisely computer games can actually be used in educational purposes, for example typing games to allow students to learn typing English or Chinese. Also another advantage of computer game is that the games may be played together among friends or family members, which may improve the relationship between family members and allow parents to know more about their children on their hobbies and interests.

However computer games if misused can also have very bad effects on human beings. Firstly spending long time in front of the computer screen will bring to various health problems, such as eye sore, back pain and headache. Also if people spend too much time on computer games rather than the work they should do, for example school work for students and projects and presentations for employees, it may have bad effects on their real life and social life status.

It is true for everything that it is beneficial if used wisely, therefore although computer games are widely said to be bad for people, it can still be used as a good tool if used wisely.

今天，为了星期五的试讲，我将教案又重新誊写了一遍，交给管老师再次批阅。经过她的点评和点拨，原本一份儿自认为还不错的教学设计竟是如此的漏洞百出。

不过，今天我明白了，针对小学英语词汇和句型的教授，更重要的是不断的操练与巩固。尤其是在随堂课上面，方式不必太过翻新、太过多样化，稳扎稳打才是课堂教学的本质。

与此同时，我也在思考：

教学形式的多样化与教学效果是否成正比：选择多样化的教学形式，学生会感受到课堂气氛的活跃，但繁多的形式会使学生眼花缭乱。在《Atasnack》这一课，由于讲授的内容是食物类的单词和句型。所以我选择了很多样化的教具和教学形式，课堂氛围应该总体不错，但至于整堂课的教学效果，我实在是不好说。现在我很疑惑：一节课传授的是知识，教学形式只是是教学目标实现的辅助手段而已，该如何适度地运用不同的教学形式呢？

而且，我还学到了对于教材，自己要进行认真的分析，加以自己的理解，再进行适当的处理，这样才能做出最好的掌握。

之前，我的处理较于呆板，不仅自己教授起来困难，而且学生接受、掌握起来也并不是很容易。如果我能多动动脑子、多花花心思，也许就能找到更好、更合理的解决所教授内容的方式。

总之，万事都需要钻研。有付出，才会有回报。

Our environment is getting worse and worse now.People throw their garbage here and there.Factories make more and more dirty water that has polluted the rivers and lakes.What should we do?We must find ways to stop pollution.Waste water must be cleaned before it is poured into the river.People shouldn‘t throw away rubbish here and there.We should pick up the garbage around us.We‘d better plant more trees.I‘m sure if we take care of our environment,our world will be more beautiful!

My name isxx.  I am graduate from xxx seniorhigh school and major in xx.  There are xx people in my family.  My father works in a computer company.  And my mother is a housewife.  I am the youngest one in my family.

In my spare time, I like to read novels.  I think reading could enlargemy knowledge.  As for novels, I could imagine whatever I like such as a well-known scientist or a kung-fu master.  In addition to reading, I also like to play PC games.  A lot of grownups think playing PC games hinders the students from learning.  But I think PC games could motivate me to learn something such as English or Japanese. My favorite course is English because I think it is interesting to say one thing via different sounds.  I wish my English could be improved in the next four years and be able to speak fluent English in the future.

Air travel makes some people very nervous. The crowds, the noise and flying itself can causeunease. But there are classes people can take to help them defeat the fear of flying. And, nowCaty Weaver tells us about similar training for service dogs that suffer the same problem.

Service dogs almost never leave the side of the people they care for. You will see them workingon buses, trains and other public transport systems. But the busy environment found at anairport can trouble even the best trained working dog.

People with disabilities depend on their dogs. They want the animals to safely guide themthrough security areas. They also need to the dogs to remain calmly on duty on the airplane,even when the flying is not smooth. This takes special training. The Air Hollywood K9 FlightSchool is one place where such help can be found.

The school has a piece of equipment that provides the sights, sounds and even the feel of anairplane in flight. It is called a flight simulator. The simulator was built for filming airplanescenes in movies.

Sandy Alexander lives in Newport Beach, California. He has a disability that requires his two-year-old dog, Doc, to be always at his side. Mr. Alexander took the dog to the flight school toget him ready for plane trips. He says Doc did not like the bumpy part of the flight simulation.

"When that started he was pretty agitated and looked up at me and wasnt sure what wasgoing on, and I think we are going to be prepared the next time it happens."

Dog trainer Mary Segall is with Canine Companions for Independence. It provides dogs forpeople with disabilities. Ms. Segall says successful training is based on a simple rule:preparation.

"Dogs need to be exposed gradually and repetitively to stimulation, to the environment, toloud noises, to sounds and other dogs so that when this experience happens to them on adaily basis, theyre able to act in a way that theyre used to acting and that they dont getexcitable."

Stacy Huckebas nine-month-old dog, Striker, is still in training to be a guide dog.

"I dont fly a lot so I dont know a lot, but, so I dont know the routine myself. So with a dog Iwould have been lost."

Dog owners who attended the training at Air Hollywood K9 Flight School say they now feelmuch more at ease about future flights. Their dogs also seem ready for takeoff.

I began to like English when I entered the senior high school. I owe it to my English teacher who has stimulated① my great interest in learning English and then influenced my future, and whose name is Zhang Yanshu----a name I will keep in my mind forever.

She showed great love to us which is deeply appealing to②our heart. Different from other teachers, she has never been impolite to us. Oppositely, she treated us equally. She made efforts to attract us to the world of English, to understand the beauty of the language and enjoy the cultures of the foreign countries. With her skillful help, the students in our class took great interest in this course and improved rapidly.

She was kind and patient. She did not mind the students slowness in learning new knowledge, but it did not mean that she was not strict with us. To make what we had learned strong, she often asked us to recall③ the knowledge in class. This was also a method to examine the homework she had assigned④. In that case, we had to work hard so as to live up to⑤her hope.

She is such an excellent teacher that we got so much from her, not only the knowledge but also kindness, diligence⑥ and appreciation for beauty. All these will be useful to all my life.

介 What impresses me most in Beijing is the Great Wall which is one of the greatest projects in the world. Its not only the cultural heritage, but also a symbol of China. "Its glorious." I think.

When I was standing on the top of the Great Wall, I felt as if I were in ancient days. I could see many laborers working very hard. How could they finish this extremely difficult task by hand?

There he sat, staring out the window with his dazed eyes. His face is almost like a scrunched piece of pa-pe-r with wrinkles carved deep into his skin. His caving mouth can hardly close nowadays and there is often a trickle of saliva wandering aimlessly down the side of his chin.Strands of thin, grey hair crawls messily over his almost bald head.And the once deep blue eyes are now covered with a layer of opaque white.What he sees is no longer clear, but they are all the same beautiful. The blurred window sills and the distance skyscrapers,all present him with a new beauty that he never appreciated when he was young.Age is cruel.However, what to the outside world may seem like an old man in despair is to him only a way of peaceful life.

Roman Colosseum 意大利罗马大斗兽场

The Colosseum or Flavian Amphitheater was begun by Vespasian, inaugurated by Titus in 80 A.D. and completed by Domitian. Located on marshy land between the Esquiline and Caelian Hills, it was the first permanent amphitheater to be built in Rome. Its monumental size and grandeur as well as its practical and efficient organization for producing spectacles and controlling the large crowds make it one of the great architectural monuments achieved by the ancient Romans.

The amphitheater is a vast ellipse with tiers of seating for 50,000 spectators around a central elliptical arena. Below the wooden arena floor, there was a complex set of rooms and passageways for wild beasts and other provisions for staging the spectacles. Eighty walls radiate from the arena and support vaults for passageways, stairways and the tiers of seats. At the outer edge circumferential arcades link each level and the stairways between levels.

The three tiers of arcades are faced by three-quarter columns and entablatures, Doric in the first story, Ionic in the second, and Corinthian in the third. Above them is an attic story with Corinthian pilasters and small square window openings in alternate bays. At the top brackets and sockets carry the masts from which the velarium, a canopy for shade, was suspended.

The construction utilized a careful combination of types: concrete for the foundations, travertine for the piers and arcades, tufa infill between piers for the walls of the lower two levels, and brick-faced concrete used for the upper levels and for most of the vaults.

Details

The Colosseum was designed to hold 50,000 spectators, and it had approximately eighty entrances so crowds could arrive and leave easily and quickly.

The plan is a vast ellipse, measuring externally 188 m x 156 m (615 ft x 510 ft), with the base of the building covering about 6 acres. Vaults span between eighty radial walls to support tiers of seating and for passageways and stairs.

The facade of three tiers of arches and an attic story is about 48.5 m (158 ft) tall — roughly equivalent to a 12-15 story building.
