篇2:我的英语老师初中

全文共 936 字

+ 加入清单

一直都想写我的英语老师,只是因为觉得学习不好,颇感内疚,不好意思来写。用我妈妈的话来说,他就是一个小男孩,我应该叫哥哥的。

他说话的样子十分夸张。他跟我们说在另一所学校里做班主任时,他安排的座位非常合理,因此学生成绩提高很快。我当然理解他的自豪,但我也理解我的班主任为何不采用。因为丁老师谈建议时的神情就像一只狗伸着舌头,流着口水,教一只猫如何分配自己盘中的鱼。明明一张很英俊的脸,有棱有角,鼻梁挺直,眼睛凹下,嘴唇也很性感。你不知道呀!他生气时目光看向远方,深沉而坚定,加上魁梧的身材,就像一位年轻的法老,站在他的城墙上,指点江山。可是除了生气时像个男人外,其他时候就是个小男孩了,大笑起来嘴很夸张地向上翅起,就像卡通画,让所有的人都可以感受到他的快乐。若是说到什么好事,他就像大公鸡似的炫耀他的两根粗粗的眉毛向上飞扬,眼中不时闪着像星星一样的光点,还手舞足蹈的,唾沫横飞,经常唾到前排同学的脸上。被人夸奖的时候,又显得女里女气的,十分腼腆。每次开考前,他在教室门外,他的嘴角像一只红色的狐狸,在雪中伸着一只爪子,望着一只兔子。

英语老师姓丁,家在阳曲,可能地理位置有些偏辟,所以考出来不大容易。本来在另一所中学里教高中,后来考入我校,校长让他教初中。这让他十分失望,有时还在学生中露出了像李白一样怀才不遇的痛苦和颓唐。有时又高兴地告诉我们,我们是他教的第一拔学生!?

可能是刚刚带学生,他有年轻老师的激情,为我们自费复印英语资料,很喜欢在读英语课文时,一边作着奇里古怪的样子,一边发出奇里古怪的声音。有时上课,讲着讲着就讲起了自己的自传,于是常常在自我的唾沫星子中陶醉得难以自拔。上他的课让我感到十分的快乐和高兴,只是因为成绩不好而十分愧对他。不知为什么,我学也学不好,只能在每次考完试以后都躲着他。很亏心很愧疚地面对他对我的微笑,但他从来不说我不好,一次又一次地原谅我。

又一次,语文老师让我们以描写一位老师的神态特征为作业,到了下节课是英语。他进来十分讨好的让我们写他。回家后我写了两篇,有一篇是写他的,到了教室,临交作业时我又拿回了,结果我的另一篇得了第一,上课时他说已看过,可惜不是写他的。到后来越到中考我觉得愧对老师,现在考完了,我却一直想着他,想着欠他的一篇作文。

范文:The thing that Ill never forget

How time flies!Im fifteen years now.During the long time,there was one thing that I will never forget.

The Spring Festival is our traditional festival.During the Spring Festival,people usually visit their friends and relatives.When I was 9 years old,my family took the bus to my grandparents to say Happy New Year to them.

In the bus,I had a good seat.At 7:30,the bus came to a village.A woman got on with a baby in her arms.At that time,there was no seat.But she must look after her baby carefully.She had to stand next to me.I wanted to stand up and let her sit down,but I was afraid of hearing the other people sayThat girl want to be praised.I looked around.Most people were looking out of the windows and some were sleeping.Suddenly,a little boy behind me,stood up and made room for the woman.She said Thank you very much with a big smile.The boy smiled,too.When I told my cousin about it after that,he said The child is the father of a man. Im very ashamed.Why couldt I do the same thing as the little boy did?

From that I learn that we should do our best to help people who need help.If everyone makes a contribution to helping others,the world will become much more beautiful!

篇7:2024初中英语高效课堂心得体会

全文共 1519 字

+ 加入清单

传统的英语教学方式一般以组织教学、讲授知识、巩固知识、运用知识和检查知识来展开,在教学中就亲身感觉到学生在课堂上容易走神,倦怠,提不起兴趣,参与课堂极少。而新课改下的“英语高效课堂”,我校探索出了“导,启,主,动”式教学模式,是通过教师引导启发、设置情景,使学生能够主动思考、积极探索,热情参与,实现学生多方面能力综合发展、培养学生能力的一种教学模式。

现将从以下三个方面汇报学习总结与感悟:

一.机会难得,热情高涨。

首先感谢杨老师和学校领导多次给我外出学习的机会,让我开阔眼界,丰富知识,提升能力,逐步成长,更好的工作。不胜感激!说句实在话,真的有些累,学习内容安排的满满的,甚至是计划多了,时间不够,可激情深邃的报告与热情精彩的公开课让你来不及去思索累与不累,只有沉浸其中……

二.内容丰盈,异彩纷呈

1.咸慧校长的报告---先哲苏格拉底。

咸慧是一位女校长,干练的外表,激情的语言,的确有感染力与号召力。她的报告内容深刻,意义深远,作为女校长,有如此超前的教育意识,丰厚的文化底蕴,锲而不舍的钻研精神着实令人欣佩。她向我们介绍了先哲苏格拉底的哲学思想、教育思想等,震撼了我的心灵,启迪了我的智慧。在以后的学习与工作中我将不遗余力的感悟其哲学思想与教育思想并彻头彻尾的实践在教育教学此文转自斐斐课件园中。

2.李梦康老师的三节公开课。

三节公开课分为说读课,听写课,综合课。大致是用这样的三节课结束一单元的学习。听之前就很难苟同,听之后也很难谋和。李老师的课无非是打破上课的常规,打乱教材的顺序进行灌输性的教学,跨越太大,内容太简,结构太乱,违背学生的认知规律。再者教师的基本素质也很一般,总之,感觉不是很舒服。但是李老师的执着与奉献,勤奋与钻研的精神让我陷入深深的思考,从他身上,我学到的是他执著于教育事业、孜孜不倦、严谨勤奋、潜心钻研、尽心尽责的那种热爱工作,热爱生活的高品位的生命形式。这些,促使我反思以前的工作,更好的展开现在的工作。

3.张秀玲老师的公开课

张老师是日照市一位优秀的英语教师,多次参加省级讲课比赛,战绩赫赫。有幸听张老师的课犹如丰盛的大餐,营养丰富,回味无穷。张老师那镇静的教态,流畅的口语,严谨的组织,活泼的教学,精心的设计,让整堂课如行云流水般的舒畅,蓝天碧水般的清澈,柠檬怡人般的清新。Wonderful ! 受益匪浅,我将不断学习,不断思考,不断更新理念,全新的投入英语教学。

4.阅读课教学的设计与组织---徐庆仰

日照市教学研究室的徐主任对阅读课教学的设计与组织给出了精辟的的理论和独到的见解,他那种最前沿的思考与指导对进行阅读教学有很明确的指导意义。主要从以下几个方面给我启示:

(1.)阅读教学设计步骤要分析课文的真实语义、语境、语用目的;设计恰当的阅读技能与学习目的;确认图式差异---即学生尚无课文理解却需要的图式;设计目标。

(2.)阅读教学应遵循:意义理解在先,语言学习在后;体现层次;先主旨后细节;先表层后深层;阅读技巧贯穿于始终;知识学习基于语篇。

(3.)阅读步骤。分别阐明Pre-reading While-reading Post-reading 三环节的aims﹠strategies.有很强的可操作性和实用性。

三.收获颇丰,感悟至深

每次的学习对于工作在教学第一线的我,感觉是幸福而又充实的,因为面对不同风格的名师,不同类型的讲座,能感受到思想火花的冲击。耳濡目染的东西很多,但要采他山之玉为我所用,纳百家之长解我所困却需要一个消化吸收的过程,作为一线教师的我会坚定不移的走下去,前边的路很长,我不能走到最前沿,但我会朝这个目标去努力。所谓“高山仰止,景行行止,虽不能至,心向往之”这是我一生的追求。

篇8:初中电脑英语

全文共 1200 字

It is believed that the computer is bringing the world into a brand new

era. At the time the computer was invented, scientists, marveling at its

calculating speed, felt that they had created a miracle. Nowadays, the function

of the computer is no longer confined to calculation; it permeates people’s

daily lives and has become an inseparable part of human society.

People become so heavily dependent on computers that it is hard to imagine

the life without computers. Therefore, some people are worried that “The real

danger is not that the computer will think like man, but man will think like the

computer.”

Their concern does make sense. Indeed, some people spend such a long time

working on computers that they have few interactions with people in real life.

According to a research, too many hours in front of a computer may lead to a

poker face and interpersonal isolation. This fact should arouse our attention,

because unlike computers, human beings are social creatures that need emotional

connections with others.

Yet, it is also unnecessary for us to be overwhelmed by the negative

impacts of computers. After all, we humans are intelligent and will be able to

figure out better ways to make improvements.

Every vacation is expected, every holiday is memorable, every holiday is worth remembering, every holiday is colorful, every holiday is wonderful. The long-awaited vacation that really makes people feel relaxed and wanted the bag flew into the air and let him ruin, hate books will be torn in two, with the solution of the heart "stuffy" school for such a long time, always feel like chanting, blankly.

In October 1st, there was an inevitable national day of golden week. I heard from my familys TV that Change two will launch and launch at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center at eighteen fifty-nine, fifty-seven seconds in October 1st this year. I took off at nineteen oclock. When I witnessed the great cause of aviation in China, I remembered the Change No.1. It has applied for more than 10 patents, and more than 80 patents are being applied. The Change two should be better because the times are improving. Ive also heard about the Diaoyu Island in China. - the Diaoyu Islands, the full name of "Diaoyu Islands" shidori called Senkaku islands". The Diaoyu Islands by the Diaoyu Islands, yellow tail Island, Akao Island, South Island, North Island, South Island, North Island and flying Seto island and other islands, a total area of about seven square kilometers. It is located in the east longitude 123 degree - 124 degree 34 ", the north latitude 25 - 4" - 26 degrees.

Think about the history of China and think about Chinas present. Though China is very weak on the surface, if todays president wants to dominate the world, China can still do it.

每一个假期都是令人期待的;每一个假期都是令人难忘的;每一个假期都是值得回味的;每一个假期都是丰富多彩的;每一个假期都是奇妙的。盼望已久的假期一到,真是让人倍感轻松,恨不得让书包飞到空中让他自取灭亡,恨不得将书本撕成两半,以解心头之‘闷’,开学这么长时间了,总觉得像念经,呆呆的。

十月一日,有一个无法忘记的国庆黄金周,这次我在家中的电视中得知了嫦娥二号将于今年十月一日十八时五十九分五十七秒在西昌卫星发射中心点火发射。十九时整起飞,当我亲眼目睹了中国的航空伟业的时候,我又想起了嫦娥一号,它已经申请了十多项专利,而且还有八十多项专利正在申请中,这个嫦娥二号应该会更好,因为时代在进步。我还听说了,中国的xx事见。——xx,全称“xx群岛”,倭人称其为“尖阁列岛”。xx群岛由xx、黄尾岛、赤尾岛、南小岛、北小岛、大南小岛、大北小岛和飞濑岛等岛屿组成,总面积约七平方公里。它位于东经123°——124°34″,北纬25°4″——26°。

想一想中国的历史,想一想中国的现在,中国表面上虽然很弱,但如果今天的主席向称霸世界的话,中国还是可以做到的,只是现在的主席想的只是和平而已。

篇20:有关交流英语作文初中

全文共 1956 字

Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must

communicate with other people.

A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by

the simple means of speech.

If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are

likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news

or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of

society.

Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and

during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one

of the dominating factors of contemporary society.

Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications,

photography, radio and television.

Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of

communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news,

which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.

No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged

minority.

In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed

fortunate, but today there are public libraries.

Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people

sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into

millions of homes.

Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of

information.

The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society

and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and

entertainment.

The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with

informing, educating and entertaining.

Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is

very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the

vast modern network of communications is open to abuse.

However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no

turning back.
