My Net Friend

I was only nine years old when I learnt how to use a computer. My mother is my first teacher. I know how to type, how to copy a file, and how to visit a web site on the Internet. One day, mom was not at home. I turned on the computer and began to learn how to chat on net. The first one I met there was a boy called Tom. He greeted me politely. When he knew that I was only a 9-year-old girl, and almost knew nothing about chatting on net,he started showing me how to use the chatting tools, how to download, and how to send e-mails. I learnt a lot from him.

我开始学电脑的时候才九岁。妈妈是我的启蒙老师。我学会了如何打字,如何拷贝文件,如何上网登录网站。一天,妈妈不在家。我打开电脑,开始学着上网聊天。汤姆是我在网上遇到的第一个朋友。他礼貌地跟我打招呼。当他得知我才九岁,而且对网上聊天一无所知时,他开始教我如何使用聊天工具,如何下载,以及如何发电子邮件。我从他那里学到了很多东西。

上文是老师为同学们带来的关于网友英语范文,同学们照例子也写一个自己的网友吧!

Dear teacher and classmates:

I am very glad to make a speech here in this class again! This time, Id like to talk something about English.

I love English. English language is now used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. Learning English makes me confident and brings me great pleasure.

When I was seven, my mother sent me to an English school. At there, I played games and sang English songs with other children . Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world.

Everyday, I read English following the tapes. Sometimes, I watch English cartoons.

On the weekend, I often go to the English corner. By talking with different people there, I have made more and more friends as well as improved my oral English.

I hope I can travel around the world someday. I want to go to America to visit Washington Monument, because the president Washington is my idol. Of course, I want to go to London too, because England is where English language developed. If I can ride my bike in Cambridge university, I will be very happy.

I hope I can speak English with everyone in the world. Ill introduce China to them, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and Anshan.

I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.

If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday , it will love me too.

篇4:初中描写花的英语

全文共 929 字

+ 加入清单

Lily, common name for the Liliaceae, a plant family numbering several thousand species of as many as 300 genera, widely distributed over the earth and particularly abundant in warm temperate and tropical regions. Most species are perennial herbs characterized by bulbs (or other forms of enlarged underground stem) from which grow erect clusters of narrow, grasslike leaves or leafy stems.

A few are woody and some are small trees. Evolutionally, the lily family is probably the basic monocotyledonous stock, its ancestors having given rise to the majority of contemporary monocots, e.g., the orchids, the palms, the iris and amaryllis families, and possibly also the grasses.

The relationships between plants of the modern lily family are not always clear, and some botanists subdivide the Liliaceae into several families or, if they take a broader view of the family, include some groups such as the Agave and Amaryllis families.

终于轮到我了。可断桥那三楼的高度,中间断开有将近一米的长度,仅仅三只脚的宽度,还是让我不由自主打了个寒颤。

我扒着铁三角一点一点地往上爬去,我心跳的频率是平常的十倍以上,既害怕又兴奋,怕不小心掉下去,也怕被同学们嘲笑。我十分胆小,小时候三岁半了还不敢独自坐滑滑梯。

“抖一下绳子。”教练的声音传来。我看见安全绳索拌到一个地方了,那里是断桥的右侧。我害怕自己掉下来,赶紧抖了抖绳子,却没有成功。于是我又加大了力度,用波浪线似的节奏抖一了抖,还是不行,教练再一次大喊:“就那样抖。”这时,我似乎镇定了许多,往上爬了爬继续用波浪线抖,果然绳子脱离了羁绊。

我继续向上爬,双腿不由自主地抖着,我也越来越害怕,甚至还萌生了下去的想法,但想到同学们一个个都挑战成功了,我又怎能半途而废?

我终于站在了断桥上,我的腿抖得更厉害了,我硬着头皮继续向前走。“我数3、2、1,你跳过去。”教练的喊声里充满了欣喜与鼓励,“3、2、1,跳。”我迈开脚步跳了过去,不等教练说让我坐我就坐了下来,先松一只脚再松另一只脚,很快教练把我放了下来。

当我平稳站在地面上的时候,心中满是抑制不住的激动,在十米的高空中挑战自我,这是我从来不敢想的事情,没想到居然成功了。听着耳边同学们的掌声,我终于明白了:其实恐惧是可以战胜的,前提是我们要相信一切皆有可能。

篇6:2024初中英语教师个人工作计划

全文共 1760 字

+ 加入清单

本学期,我将结合学校工作计划和学校教学工作计划的要求,规范常规教学,提高教学质量,努力形成自己的教学特色。

一、总体思路

以努力提高教学质量为目标,以抓好教学常规工作,提高英语合格率为重点,采用任务型教学法,注重“学困生”的教育补差工作,形成良好的教学风气。

二、学生情况分析

经过一学期的学习,从上期期末成绩来看,七年级两个班的英语成绩比较理想。平均分82分。大部分学生学习目的明确,态度端正,掌握了英语学习的一些基本方法,能够积极主动认真地学习,学习成绩较好。但还有少部分学生没有明确的学习目的,缺少学习的热情和主动性,自觉性较差,相应的学习习惯也差,加上两极分化十分严重。

三、教材分析

《Goforit》七年级下册共14个单元,包括2个复习单元。全书采用任务型语言教学模式,融汇话题、交际功能和语言结构,形成了一套循序渐进的生活化的学习程序。每个单元都列出明确的语言目标,主要的功能项目与语法结构,需要掌握的基本词汇,并分为A、B两部分。A部分是基本的语言内容,B部分是知识的扩展和综合的语言运用。每个单元还有selfcheck部分,供学生自我检测本单元所学的语言知识。它采用“语言的输入---学生的消化吸收---学生的语言输出”为主线编排的。

四、教学目标

掌握本册书上的重点词汇、词组以及句型。通过本学期的学习,培养学生对英语的学习兴趣,形成有效的学习策略,有效提高学习效率,发展双基能力;培养听、说、读、写的能力,使学生初步获得运用英语的能力,达到语言运用能力的迁移和拓展;通过了解世界,了解不同地区的人文风俗,学会理解和尊重异国文化,并使学生在人际交往中学会尊重和理解别人,能在小组活动中积极与他人合作,相互帮助,共同完成学习任务,尽情享受学习的乐趣。

五、教学措施

1、加强词汇教学,包括单词拼写、词义记忆,语言功能的训练。

词汇是文章、句子的基本单位,词汇量的大小,将直接关系到学生能否流利地运用英语进行交际;能否熟练地用英语读和写;能否顺利地用英语思考。从上学期的期末考试所反映的问题看,在今后的教学中,在加强拼读与拼写的同时,应帮助学生进行有意识记,应加强对词的用法及内在含义的理解,要培养学生用英语解释单词的能力,逐步启发引导学生用英语思考。单词教学一定要做到词不离句,这样,学生在学会了单词的同时,也学会了词的一些基本用法。

2、每天背诵课文中的对话,培养语感。

3、基本的语法教学一定要与语境相结合。

进行语法操练时,要坚持“四位一体”,即话题、语境、结构、功能相结合。抓住话题,联系语境,确定语法结构,明确语法功能(交际功能)。要重视语法知识对于培养语言运用功能的基础作用,又要注重改革教法。课堂上一定要有生动活泼的教学活动。

4、进一步培养阅读能力和写作能力。

阅读和写作能力的培养是英语教学的又一重点。阅读和写作能力的培养在于平时。教师在平时讲解阅读理解题时,应着力帮助学生分析语言材料,而不是核对答案;平常应该多写作文。

5、做好学困生转化和优秀生培养工作。

优秀生:___,___,__,___。

学困生:___,___,__,___,___,___,___,___,___,___,___,___,___。

尤其对学困生进行专门辅导,布置一些作业,让他们在小进步、小转变中体会学习的快乐,树立学习的自信,尽快成长起来。

6、继续搞好师徒结对活动。

师徒结对活动也是一种好的学习方式。

7、作业布置要做到数量适中,批阅及时,对出现的问题要跟踪矫正,认真讲评,尽量面批面改。提高练习质量,要精选资料。

六、教研课题

《浅谈英语阅读能力的培养》

措施:用新的教学理念指导英语阅读教学,进一步改变教法和学法,培养学生对英语阅读的兴趣,提高学生的英语阅读能力,提高英语教学效果。

1、尝试通过各种形式的学习,例如复述课文、把课文改编成情景剧、阅读竞赛等活动,提高学生学习英语的兴趣,从而达到自主积累、综合运用英语的目的,并指导学生运用科学的方法记忆单词、阅读课文,取得事半功倍的效果。

2、通过信息技术与学科整合的手段,以课内为基础,增加课外阅读的量,指导学生借助信息手段和工具书理解文章基本内容的方法,提高学生的英语自学能力。

3、以复述课文、回答问题、判断正误、通过上下文线索猜词义为载体,培养学生的综合阅读技能,提高学生的英语阅读理解能力。

I like reading very much because reading is the ladder of human progress.

What’s more, reading brings us not only endless fun but also opportunities.

There are many available books for us to choose from, like history books,

science books, literary books and so no. But what interests me most in history

books---over the long course of history, the Chinese nation has witnessed

changes of dynasties, transfers of governments, and foreign powers in modern

history. This makes me realize the great responsibility of the development of

I sincerely hope that everyone can absorb more nutrients and cultivate a

more noble character through reading.

我来到了黄龙。哇!到处都是翠流,令人叹为观止。我和爸妈一人买了一串美味的牦牛肉串,作为爬黄龙的前提准备。突然,导游吆喝起来:“要开始出发了!”我急忙带上水、食物就向着终点出发!

进入了黄龙像是走入了仙境。到处都是碧绿碧绿的,让人不由自主的感叹:“真美啊!”我开始走时很兴奋,蹦蹦跳跳地走在前面,走着走着,走到路程的一半时,我感到有些体力不支。心里想:这没什么,只不过有点累了,喝点水补充一下体力就好了。于是,我喝了点水,就继续向终点出发。但不知为什么就感觉路程格外的长、格外的远,终于妈妈说快到了的时候,我一阵眩晕,还开始大口大口的喘粗气:“妈妈,我,我好难受。”,妈妈关切的说:“这是高原反映,缺氧的正常现象,你现在感觉怎么样?”“我不想走了,我坚持不住了,咱们坐一会儿,等轿子来了把我抬下去好吗?”我恳求着妈妈,“想放弃了?乖孩子,那可不行,咱们不是说好的,坚持就是胜利,还有四百米了,你一定要坚持啊”爸爸也鼓励我说:“孩子,我来给你讲个笑话,你一边听一边走就不累了。”听了爸爸妈妈的话,我站了起来,摇摇晃晃的向终点走去。

我坚持了下来,虽然头晕眼花、四肢酸痛,但我收获了成功,这是值得的!

一个阳光明媚的周日,我兴致勃勃地直奔书店,去买那套盼望已久的《东周列国》。

“阿姨,请买支花吧!叔叔,请买支花吧!”那银铃般的叫卖声在人群中萦绕。我定睛一看,原来是位小姑娘,正抱着一把玫瑰花向行人叫卖。这个小姑娘比我矮一 头,削瘦的脸上忽闪着一双泉水般清澈的大眼睛,身上穿着一件早已褪色并点缀着补丁的衣服,虽是春天,但她仍然不断地打着寒颤。我按捺不住好奇地问道,“小 妹妹,你在帮助爸爸妈妈卖花吗?”“不,我爸爸妈妈很早就死了,家里很穷,爷爷奶奶没钱供我上学,我只能靠卖花生活。”她痛苦地低下了头。

啊?她不能上学了!这么小小的年纪,要靠卖花来养活爷爷奶奶了!望着比我矮一头的她,怜悯之心从我的心底油然而生。我把手伸进了衣兜,毫不犹豫地掏出本来 要买书的五十元钱,往她手中一塞:“这些钱给你。”“姐姐,我不要!”她赶紧收回了手。“要不我用五十块钱买你的花,这总可以了吧!”我急中生智想出了这 个权宜之计。“姐姐,你真好!”她满怀感激地把花全部塞在了我的手里,然后转身朝前走去。

回到家后,我心里总是不能平静下来。那个小姑娘每天住在哪儿?谁给她做饭呢?我能为她做点什么呢?对,我可以给她送去几件衣服。我的想法得到了妈妈的支持,每天放学一回家,我就翻箱倒柜,寻找着前两年穿过的衣服,一件一件地叠好,放在衣袋里。

下一个周日到了,天灰蒙蒙,大风怒号着,我想那位小姑娘穿上今天给她的衣服就不会冷了。我拉着妈妈,拎上备好的衣袋,出了家门。我徘徊在她卖花的街道上, 左瞧瞧,右看看,望穿双眼也没见到她。小妹妹,你在哪儿呀?我的心都急到了嗓子眼。“天气不好,上街的人少,小妹妹可能到别外卖花了,咱们回家吧!”妈妈 劝慰道。“再等一会儿,再等一会儿!”我向妈妈央求。就这样,我们足足等了两个小时,始终未见到她的身影,无奈之下,只好提着衣服回家。

饭后,与爸爸的聊天中得知,以援助失学女童为中心的春蕾计划已经开始启动了。我听后,心中一阵喜悦,啊,那个卖花的小姑娘可以上学了,穷困的孩子都可以回到学校了。我掩盖不住内心的激动,写下日记的第一行字:我要为春蕾计划,贡献我的全部力量。

The Laba Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the eighth day of the twelfth month of the lunar Chinese calendar. "La" is the name given to the 12th lunar month and 8 is pronounced as "ba" in Chinese, which translated is "Laba." There are several legends about the origin of this festivity and we could not tell which one is true. But what we know today is that this festival started as a sacrificial offering to ancestors. It was also a time for the ancient Chinese to pray to heaven and earth that there would be a bountiful harvest. Many people hoped for good luck as well for the coming year.

农历十二月初八是中国的传统节日——腊八节,腊代表中国农历的十二月,而八是eight的发音,因此,这个节日被翻译成腊八。关于腊八起源的传说有很多,我们已经不能辨其真假。时至今日,我们确定的是这个节日起初是为了祭祀祖先,祈求丰收以及为即将来到的一年祈福。

Traditionally, the Laba rice porridge is the most important element of the festival. Generally, the porridge contains eight ingredients which can include glutinous rice, red beans, millet, Chinese sorghum, peas, dried lotus seeds and some other ingredients, such as dried dates, chestnut meat, walnut meat, almond, peanut, etc. The porridge must be boiled for many hours and then offered as a sacrifice to the ancestors. This must be done before noontime. Also, it is tradition that family members eat the porridge together. Then they leave some as a symbol of hope for a good harvest the coming year.

从传统上讲,腊八粥是腊八节最重要的元素。腊八粥通常由八种材料做成,这些材料可以是黏米,红豆,小米,高粱,豌豆,莲子和一些诸如红枣,栗子,核桃仁,杏仁,花生等谷物。粥要熬制数小时,然后作为祭品祭献给祖先。这个祭祀活动一定要在中午之前完成。之后,家人们坐在一起吃腊八粥也就成了传

Another custom is the soaking of Laba garlic. Garlic is soaked in vinegar for more than twenty days starting from Laba festival. Then when the Chinese New Year comes, the garlic and vinegar is used alongside jiaozi on the table.

腊八节的另一传统式腌制腊八蒜。从腊八节那天起,就将蒜泡在醋中二十多天,这样,到春节的时候,就可以在餐桌上与饺子同食了。
