篇10：初一英语月考反思作文
全文共 866 字
+ 加入清单第一次七年级英语月考试卷充分体现了新课改的精神，切实有效地考察了所学知识内容。下面对试卷试题进行具体分析：
一、试卷题型情况
1、注重对基础知识、基本技能的考察，题型新颖、覆盖面大，涉及到了所学的全部内容，促进学生有效学习。
2、注重从实际中选取素材，考察了学生的分析和处理问题能力。
3、试卷对学生探究能力是一个重点考察，增强了学生的探究分析能力。
二、试卷结构分析
试卷充分体现了新课标课改精神，注重了对学生基础知识和综合能力的考察，因此对学生的细心程度要求很高。
1、听力部分：试题难度不大，因此学生在该部分的得分率较高，但是学生的两极分化严重，高分很高，甚至满分，而低分则太低。
2、完形填空和阅读理解：难度适中，但是得分率一般，主要原因是学生理解文章不透彻，阅读能力差造成的。
3、词语运用：此题是各大题中得分最低的一个题，主要原因是学生对词的用法掌握不好，一些固定词组记不清。
4、书面表达：该题对于学生来说是比较容易的一题，它是对学生整体知识的一个考察，但两极分化最为严重。
三、学生分析
存在问题：
1、优等生对基础知识掌握较好，但是还有一部分学生对语言的运用能力较差，对比较碎的知识点没有能够很好地掌握。
2、中等生的基础知识掌握不够牢固，并且做题比较粗心。
四、具体改进措施
1、钻研新教材，夯实英语基础。练习中很多学生“一看就会，一做就错”，这种现象比较普遍，失误原因是对于常见用语掌握的熟练程度还不够。其根本原因就在于基础不牢，只有扎扎实实从基础做起，才能最终达到“一看就会，一做就对”。
2、加强英语课外阅读。英语知识的获得与能力的提高是在不断的听、说、读、写的训练过程中逐步形成的，而教材和课堂所能提供的训练还是比较有限的，因此，要加强理解语篇的能力训练，增强英语语感。
3、规范训练，改进学习方法。要善于分析学生，找出学生的薄弱环节，合理安排好教材知识梳理、专项训练和应试技巧指导。
在今后的教学中应注意开阔学生视野，多渠道、大容量地给学生提供具有时代感的英语信息，加强语言运用能力的培养，少讲解，多给学生实际运用语言的机会，在用中学英语。

篇15：英语外研比赛初一作文1000字
全文共 1112 字
+ 加入清单今天就是英语外研比赛的日子了，我被安排在下午2.30那场，老妈的单位离考场比较近，上午我便跟她去单位值班。
我在老妈的办公室里，一直都在背稿，时间过得很快，稿纸在我的手中不停地抖动，说好的不紧张呢?
简单吃了点饭，老妈看我这副状态，她提议说，咱们提前溜达着去吧，就当散散步。
午后的街道有些冷清，看到不错的景致，老妈竟不忘给我拍张照片啥的，她可真有兴致。不觉中就来到了“宝睿国际未来小学”门口，我们是下午考生中来得最早的。
等了好久一些家长才陪着孩子到来，有接待老师把我们安排在家长等候区，并给选手们讲了些注意事项，接着老师又读了考场名单，我被安排在第三考场。
这是初赛，演讲的内容是自我介绍加才艺表演。我看到有的选手准备得真棒!不光自己化了淡妆，还梳了很复杂很漂亮的辫子，有的还穿了美丽的裙子。有不少同学手里拿了画板，上面是他们精心绘制的图画，他们边指着自己的画边小声念着英语，看来他们的才艺表演一定是用英语介绍自己的画了。而我的才艺显得多么的微不足道，我只打算读一首英文小诗。
上午考完的同学在群里发来信息，他们说很简单，评委主要看你的口语能力，觉得背不好的，也可以直接读，我终于有了一些安心。
马上就轮到我了，听到老师念我名字，稿子在我手中抖的更厉害了。原来考场里只有三位评委老师，但其中有一位外国人。我的心开始咚咚跳个不停，手心也开始冒汗。我刚说一句“Hello everyone.”，三位评委老师便微笑着向我点头示意。他们这一微笑，我反而不自在的很，我僵硬的站在他们面前，机械地象在用英文诵经一般，我甚至听到自己的声音就象一只大苍蝇在我周围嗡嗡着飞，它飞飞停停，停停飞飞，可恶极了。我发现三位评委老师都在低着头，记录着什么，也不知他们听清了这“嗡嗡”声没有。自我介绍环节很快就完了，我看没人看我，便拿出稿子，直接读那首“四季”的小诗。依然没人看我，平时读得一点问题都没有，此时竟卡了好几下，自己都觉得糟糕透顶。
三分钟终于结束了，我向三位评委鞠了躬说了“thank you”之后，心情才平静下来。
因为我是最后一场，所以，我来到家长区没多久，就有老师进来，当场宣布进入复赛的同学名单了。老师神采飞扬，声音洪亮，她说：“非常高兴地通知大家，祝贺以下进入复赛的同学，读到名字的同学也请家长一起上台!”
接着老师便念“张三，李四”，没有我的名字!
我沮丧极了，连为大家鼓掌的力气都没有了。
也许从我站到台上的那一刻就被评委老师“秒杀”掉了。老妈反倒安慰我说：“你在这里登过台，已经很棒了。但一定记住，台上一分钟，台下十年功啊。”
是的，通过参加这次比赛，我也找到了自己努力的方向。
路过一家烘焙店，我说：“老妈，给我买点吃的吧，我要化悲痛为力量!”

Just as a ditch, separated by the generation of people, affect the understanding and communication between two generations. But in the new century, the generation gap exists not only between the generation and the next generation, and separated by 10 years, 8 years in age between people, even between senior and junior in the university, there will be amazing. People often say, the generation gap is the trace of time, the pace of change. In that case, a generation gap is natural, but there is no generation gap is not natural, so, the generation gap phenomenon is easy to be understood. But generation gap is after all the difficulties in communication, and easy to increase the likelihood of formation of prejudice and discrimination, one light on either side of the generation gap, mutual understanding, or hostile, so we also should through various channels for various efforts to bridge the generation gap, to fill the gap. Actually, the generation gap is not a physical existence, but a psychological, contact, can let once broken psychological link between generation and generation succeeded, so as to achieve smooth communication and get along with harmony.

So people can not accept directly or next generation and the differences of their generation, often associated with the selectivity of intellectual.
The childs world, very different from adults, geared pretty tube, will hinder greatly the development of the child. This is lu xun said a word.
代沟，简单地说就是不同年龄层次的人因思想观念上的差距造成的心理距离。就象沟一样，隔开了一代一代的人，影响两代人之间的理解和沟通。但是到了新世纪，代沟不仅存在于上一代与下一代之间，而且在年龄相隔10年、8年的人们之间，甚至在大学的高年级与低年级之间，都会有令人惊叹的明显差异。人们常常说，代沟是时间的痕迹，变革的脚步。如此看来，出现代沟是自然的，没有代沟反倒是不自然的，所以，代沟现象也容易被人理解。 但代沟毕竟是困扰交流与沟通的难点，而且容易增加形成偏见和歧视的可能性，代沟两侧的人轻则互不理解，重则抱有敌意，所以我们也要通过种种途径作各种努力来跨越代沟、填平代沟。其实，代沟也并不是一种物理存在，而是一种心理存在，接触，可以让代与代之间曾经断裂的心理联系接续起来，从而达到交流的顺畅和相处的和谐。
承代沟的客观存在，心平气和地对待代沟，这样不仅有助于自己，也有益于他人。
代沟往往是心理认识的偏差导致的。人们选择信息角度的不同，决定了有人着眼于变化和差异，有人着眼于不变和相似。所以人们不能接受上代或下代与自己这一代人的差异，往往与知性的选择性有关。
孩子的世界，与成人截然不同，一昧蛮管，就大碍孩子的发展。这是鲁迅说的一句话。
