A number of people will exert aprofound influence on children’ character-training, mental growth and future life. Parents, of course, are our first and foremost teachers. On balance, however, the irreplaceable role of teachers should not be ignored.

To my certain knowledge, instructors play an increasingly critical role in children’ academic study and impose a far more significant impact on social development compared with parents. First of all, students need teachers who would teach them logic, mathematics, literature, foreign language etc.. More importantly, as for them, because the majority of time is spent in the campus, teachers will impose a subtle impact on their cultivation of study habits or learning methods. Mr.Shine, let us say, is such a teacher, who not only imparts knowledge to their students but also helps them to cultivate good study habits. He proficient inprofessional knowledge summarizes the core of knowledge and has deeper insight into the common sense of education, allowing students to benefit a lot.

In sum, it is fortunate for students to encounter a responsible teacher. As we all know, a man without an education is an unfortunate victim of adverse circumstances, deprived of one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities.

Good morning/afternoon， my dear teachers (my dear professors)。 I am very glad to be here for your interview. My name is ___.I am ___ years old. I come from _______， a very beautiful city. My undergraduate period will be accomplished in _______university in July， 2009. And now， I am trying my best for obtaining a key to ________ University.

Generally speaking， I am a hard-working student. I will try my best to finish it no matter how difficult it is. When I was sophomore， I found web design very interesting， so I learned it very hard. To weave a homepage for myself， I stayed with my personal computer for half a month， and I am the first one in my class who own his homepage. Furthermore， I am a person with great perseverance. During the days preparing for the first examination， I insist on running every day， no matter what the weather was like. And just owning to this， I could concentrate on my study and succeeded in the end.

Well， in my spare time， I like basketball， tennis and Chinese chess. Also， English is my favorite. I often go to English corner to practice my oral English on every Thursday， and write compositions to improve my written ability. But I know my English is not good enough， I will continue studying.

Ok， thats all， thank you for your attention.

[英语作文：I Love My Parents 我爱我的家人

Hello, everybody! I am glad to stand here and introduce myself. I am XXX and my English name is XXX. I am eleven years old. My birthday is on Christmas Day. I am a student of Grade 6, Class 1 of Ruhe New District Primary School. I like to play violin, reading, swimming, skiing and surfing the internet....I have a lot of hobbies! The color I like best is silver. My favorite food is hamburger. When I grow up, I want to be a writer because a writer can write many books which are useful to people (I dont know if this is correct or not). Thank you very much for listening to me. Thank you once again!

大家好!很高兴能在这里做自我介绍!我叫XXX，我的英文名字叫XXX，我今年11岁了，我的生日在圣诞节，我在汝河新区小学六年级一班念书。我喜欢拉小提琴、看书、游泳、滑雪、上网……我的爱好很广泛!我喜欢银色，我最喜欢吃汉堡包!长大后我想当一名作家，因为作家能写很多对人有益的书(不知道对不对)。谢谢你们的聆听。谢谢!

Im a grade three pupil. Feng Zekai is my name. Im 8 years old. My eyebrows are black; the round eyes are bright; the mouth is big.

My hobby is watching tv. Do you know what I dont like? Oh, let me tell you: swimming, riding a car, listen to my mother talk.

I am very good at learning, and actively participate in all kinds of activities in the school, I am seriously preparing for the day after tomorrow reading contest

My advantage is love learning, the disadvantage is not love sweeping the floor.

I am what I am。 Boys and girls, would you like to be friends with me?

我认为自己是一个认真的孩子;而在老师和家长的眼里，我是一个活泼好学的女孩;可在同学们的眼里我却是多变的：有时候是他们的好伙伴;有时候却是雷厉风行的大队长，但在有些时候，却成了热心的好帮手。

身为一名学生的我严格遵守学校的各项制度，在学校，我努力学习，懂得遵纪守法，热爱集体，助人为乐。在班上，我勤学善思，帮助同学，是同学们最好，最信赖的好伙伴。在学习上勤学善思，起到模范带头的作用。我的成绩也算名列前茅了，但我还是努力要求自己攀上学习的高峰。当我同学遇到学习上的困难时，我总是伸出“救援之手”来帮他们解开“锁”。老师所交代我的事情，我会不折不扣地去完成，与老师架起一座沟通的桥梁。

而身为乖孩子的我在家里，我总是会帮妈妈作些家务，例如：扫地，拖地，擦桌子······爸爸总是夸我是个好孩子。

荣誉虽然是一个人的证明，可也是一把双刃剑，她会使人迷失方向，但我并没有被这些难得的荣誉冲昏头脑，我把他们当作前进的动力。因此，我曾多次获得三好学生称号，可我却从不骄傲，也不会为此嫉妒别人。

而最令我骄傲的一次获奖，就是XX年，在张家口市一中举办的“美伦歌杯”拉丁舞蹈大赛中荣获了双人组一等奖的奖杯一个和伦巴组三等奖的铜牌一个。我的努力没有白费!在台下大家的赞扬声中，我告诫自己：不能骄傲，这只是个开始，要继续努力!

“尽最大的努力，做最好的自己”是我信奉的原则。作为一名班干部，我处处严格要求自己，事事以身作则，对老师交给的任务总是积极认真地完成，不推拖，不糊弄，协助老师管理好班级，是老师的得力小助手。一直以来都能全心全意为同学们服务，用自己热情开朗的性格影响周围的同学，只要有我的地方同学们都笑的合不拢嘴，一个个前仰后合。我的热心赢得了大家对我的充分信任，从中也让我感受到了快乐

我认为，学习好最主要的原因就是要勤奋。名人名言说的好：“天才是百分之一的灵感，百分之九十九的汗水。”“书山有路勤为径”刚刚上一年级的时候，我的成绩不是特别优秀，但是我从不气馁，因为没有人天生就是天才。我总是向别人请教，直到弄懂了为止。

我也觉得积累对于学习来说也是一种勤奋。学习要勤奋，这里的勤奋不仅只追求上进、热爱学习，还指积累。学习中，课外的积累与课内的东西一样重要，是必要的、不可缺的。世界上没有任何一条捷径能马上让你提高成绩，一飞冲天。读书时的好词好句可以积累，大自然里的知识可以积累。积累的好处有很多，比如我就深有体会。每次考试的作文，别人正不知如何下笔之时，而我大脑里浮现出许多平时积累的东西，让我顿时有了灵感。

别人在高兴的玩的时候我在预习课文。别人到睡觉时，我还在整理一天所学。为了能使我的成绩有所提高，我付出了很多努力。当然，我的努力有了成效!我的成绩终于有了突破。但我仍然不敢有丝毫放松，依然是勤勤恳恳，一回家就复习、预习，成了我学习的好习惯.

我特别喜欢看书，书是我的精神食粮。我有一个很大的书柜，存了很多不同的书，我很喜欢看儿童文学和科学探秘的书。我看书的时候，几乎都忘记了时间，只要有时间，我一秒都不会放过。因此，还闹了不少笑话。阅读能给予我力量。

现在我正努力学习去实现未来的愿望。我对自己提出了做作业的七条要求，如先复习、改错、再做作业，然后要预习新课内容。每次期未考试会订出计划，达不到目标时找原因，总结经验，令学习成为成长动力。我对知识的理解和领悟力较强，课堂上总有我响亮清脆回答问题的声音，主动自信的我总成为同学们的楷模。

成绩代表过去，我的人生之路才刚刚起步，蜜蜂只有辛勤采蜜，才能酿出甜美的蜜糖，雄鹰只有勇敢的博击风雨，才能使自己的翅膀更加强劲有力。大浪淘沙，方显真金本色，风雪过后，更见青松伟岸。今后我会更加努力，为班级争光，为自己的人生添彩，不辜负老师和家长的期望和厚爱。

介绍自己的英语作文篇20

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Now, it’s my turn. My

name is Edgar, a high school student. I am much honored to be here to give you a

speech. Also its a good chance for me to improve my English. I hope I can make

a good performance today. The topic of my speech is "After studying here".

Before I came here, I can never imagine that I can learn so much knowledge

about other countries, which cant be got from my books in school. Three months

ago, I took my first class. Unfortunately, I felt so embarrassed, because I even

cant speak any words, though I know I really love English.

After that, I took some of my tutors advice and previewed the lesson that

I’ll learn. What’s more, in every class, I JUST try my best to say as much as

possible. Now, I can only remember it’s a really hard time. What’s worse, I had

to go to my high school and went there at the same time.

After several weeks, I began to get used to the atmosphere in web .At least

Im not afraid to speak in front of my tutor and foreign teachers.

During web’s period, I found I had improved a lot, both physically and

mentally. For example, how to be a confident person, how to plan for my future.

And the most important is that I have learnt how to communicate with others,

which is a necessary skill. Nowadays studying is not the only thing that we high

school students should do, there are some more important things we have

ignored.

First, I am grateful for my parents. They have spent so much money for me,

but never ask for anything in return. I really know how hard it is to work on

such living conditions.

Now it’s time to introduce my tutor sally. It was she that led me to the

right studying here. It was she that helped me deal with all kinds of annoying

things. Also there are some other teachers that I appreciate, especially Laura

and Anita. Of course, I like to take foreign teachers classes. Anyway, thanks

all of you!

I know I am young; there is a long way in my life. I have to face the

difficulties and solve them by myself. But I know I must keep on my dream, I

agree that If you put your mind to, you can accomplish anything.

I know I’m not the best ,but I’m the most diligent one，I hope you can

remember me, an ordinary boy.

Sichuan is located in the Upper Yangtze Valley in the southwestern part of the country. The second largest of the Chinese provinces, it covers an area of 220,100 square miles (570,000 square kilometres). Szechwan is bordered by the provinces of Kansu and Shensi to the north, Hupeh and Hunan to the east, and Kweichow and Yunnan to the south and by the Tibet Autonomous Region to the west and the province of Tsinghai to the northwest. It is the most populous province in China. The name Szechwan means “Four Streams” and refers to the four main tributaries of the Yangtze River, which flows through the province. The capital, Cheng-tu, is located in the centre of the province.

From economic, political, geographical, and historical points of view, the heart and nerve centre of Szechwan is in the eastern basin area, commonly known as the Sichuan, or Red, Basin. Its mild and humid climate, fertile soil, and abundant mineral and forestry resources make it one of the most prosperous and economically self-sufficient regions of China. The area has been seen by some as China in a microcosm and is often viewed as a country within a country. The Chinese call the basin Tien Fu Chih Kuo, which literally means “Heaven on Earth”.
