myself ‘go’ in front of mirror after getting up every day. I believe this will

make me confident. Thus, I can do things I want bravely. Now, I will say, ‘Keep

going’.

过清明节英语日记100字篇二:

Last Qingming Festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.Qingming Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,In the past, the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But Today, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food. One theory is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area, the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.

With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the honor past ancestors. Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good harvests and more children.

今天上去,我们去学英语口语。我们的英语老师叫Tom,他跟我以前的外交老师Mike有点像。

我们先相互问候一下,Tom老师先问我们:“what’s your name?”然后,他把我们的名字一一写下。他一个一个的问,我们一个一个的回答。

然后,他问:“who can picture(draw)?”

我们都不举手,因为我们都不知道该画什么?

后来,英语老师Tom请了一个人,他的名字叫tony。我们看一看,原来呀,是叫我们画人物,按照书上的画。

他第二个叫的是dear,他第三个叫的就是我了,我画的非常好。等我们都画完,他把我们今天学的单词都画了下来,我们一节课学了6个单词,然后,他跟我们玩了一个游戏,就是喊到谁有的东西,我们就指向谁。比如说,老师:“who is wearing glasses?”,我们就指向他,一齐说:“tearcher is wearing glasses!”

这个游戏一直玩到下课。然后,Tom老师说:“class is over!let’s rest for five minters。”

等第二节课开始上课后,我们就先复习了一下上节课学的单词.然后,Tom老师又带我们做了游戏。正好来了一个老师,给我们发东西了。他给tony发了一个帽子,给jimy、dear各发了一副眼镜。这个游戏的规则还是跟上节课一样。

他问我们:“who is wearing a hat?”

我们就一起说:“tony!”

最好玩的是,有一次,让我戴眼镜,我不仅戴了眼镜,还戴了帽子。

这几天还一样都是培训期今天上午卓老师还没有让我们上课,他让我们在三楼的教室里继续备课,但是从今天开始就要互相试讲了,卓老师告诉我们备课的最终目标是要脱离课件,我虽然备课是挺充分的但是要脱离课件我觉得好难啊因为内容实在是太多了。下午再进行正规的上课指导。在教室里刚开始的时候会有点小紧张虽然我们是老师之间互相的练习,但是毕竟以前没有过这方面的经历,所以有点摸不着头脑。不知道如何去把握课堂的节奏。师院的老师还是很专业的从她们的站姿和板书的内容就可以看出了,轮到我上去了,开始的时候声音还会颤抖连我自己都感觉到了,但是每个老师都用鼓励的眼神望着我我就不那么害怕了,想想现在算什么啊还是磨枪的时候呢。后来我就很自如的讲了自己刚才准备的东西,到现在我还记得自己第一次试讲的内容是定语从句。我还是没有脱离课件,我觉得是要多试几次把自己要讲的东西思路理得非常顺的时候才能脱离吧。在我一遍又一遍的试讲之后我感觉好多了,好像更自信了。现在才明白了practice makes perfect的含义呵呵。但是我感觉大学里学的东西好像和现在的内容联系也不是很大还是要花好多时间去备课的。还要自己去补充很多的知识,这样才是对学生负责的。我现在才明白老师的压力其实很大的,你要保证你会回答学生的每一个问题还要保证都能回答对,其实老师不是圣人也有不会的时候。我在想上课的时候要是学生问我的问题我不会怎么办呢?唉下午要去请教高人了。

第十篇: Books 书籍

In other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends. This is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books.

篇18:六年级写英语日记的格式

全文共 2273 字

+ 加入清单

日记是人们对日常生活的记录,即用来记述自己一天生活的所见、所闻、所问、所思、所感。下面是小编为你带来的六年级英语日记的格式,欢迎阅读。

英语日记格式通常由两部分构成,即书端和正文。

下面就是英文日记格式各部分的书写格式示意图:

Date(日期) Weather(天气)

Title(标题)

The body of the diary(日记正文)

那么,小学生写英语日记还应注意哪些问题呢?

11. 注意日期、星期和天气的书写位置。

日期和星期要写在正文的左上角,其顺序多是“星期 + 月、日、年”

也有把星期放在后面的。

如“ 2003 年 11 月 22 日, 星期一”可写为“ Monday November 22, 2015 ”或“ November 22,2015 Monday ” 。

天气情况应写在正文的右上角,如: Fine、 Rainy、 Cloudy、 Windy 、sunny等。

22. 关于标题的书写。

在日期和天气的下一行中间可以写上日记小标题,也可以不写标题。 刚开始写日记,可以用一个词作标题。

33. 关于正文的书写。

正文是关于一天生活的记载,也是日记的主题。

在书写正文时要做到:

1 )要选择当天感受最深刻、最有意义的事件来描述,不要写成简单的流水帐;

2 )日记的内容多是亲身经历和耳闻目睹的事情,所以要用第一人称来写;

3 )日记多是在当天晚上来记述当天发生过的事情,因为动词时态常使用过去时,但使用时必须灵活掌握。

如景物描写、议论某事、对话引语等要使用现在时态;

4 )日记应以时间发生的先后顺序来展开,并且要简明扼要、条理清楚、写出真实感。

Going on a Picnic

Today was Sunday. The weather was fine and warm. The sky was very clear and blue. My classmates and I were very happy, because we went out for a picnic at Nanshan Hill.

We went to Nanshan Hill by bike with fruits, eggs, meat,vegetables, knives and some other things.

About one and a half hours later, we came to a nice place at the foot of the hill. There were many beautiful flowers and green trees. Birds sang their sweet songs. How pleased we were! Then we were busy with the picnic. Some of us were getting water,some were cutting the meat and vegetables and cook,others were sitting on the grass and waiting for nice lunch.

At about 13 o"clock, our lunch was ready. We all sat around on the green grass, singing, talking, eating and drinking.

At about 16:00 we began packing for our return.

What a nice time we were having!

[点评] 小作者能用准确、 地道的语言, 简练的语句非常生动地描写出了野炊的场面。

这篇文章条理清楚, 尤其是“ some … some … , others …”句型,以及 singing, eating 等现在分词作伴随状语的运用,使这篇日记增色不少。

本文结尾使用了一个感叹句,更加反映出小作者对这次野炊的真实情感。

卓老师给我们说前几天的培训重点还是放在备课上,备课一定得充分,只要能调动学生的积极性,上课效果就好。上课内容要丰富,现实,教态要自然,讲课要生动,难易适中照顾全部,就自然能够吸引住学生。学友有一对一的学生还有小班的学生,所以在备课的时候我

格外关注细节,作为老师每天都要有充足的精神,让学生感受到一种自然气氛。我们都知道英语是一门外语,对初学者而言,既生疏又困难,在这样一种大环境之下,要教好英语,就要让学生喜爱英语,让他们对英语产生兴趣。否则学生对这门学科产生畏难情绪,不愿学也无法学下去。教案也是教学前的重头戏,以前从来没有备过,为了做出实用的教案,我专门在网上查找了相关的资料。为了第一节课的教案,我接连奋斗了两个晚上,总算捣鼓出一篇像样的教案。虽算不上精品,但至少在上讲台前要有充足的准备。教学中,备课是一个必不可少,十分重要的环节,备学生,又要备教法。备课不充分或者备得不好,会严重影响课堂气氛和积极性,曾有一位前辈对我说:备课备不好,倒不如不上课,否则就是白费心机。”我明白到备课的重要性,因此,每天我都花费大量的时间在备课之上,认认真真钻研教材和教法,不满意就不收工。虽然辛苦,但事实证明是值得的。一堂准备充分的课,会令学生和老师都获益不浅。

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in February or March in the Gregorian calendar。 As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC—AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance。

This days important activity is watching lanterns。 Throughout the Han Dynasty (206 BC—AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China。 One emperor heard that Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddhas body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month。

So he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to Buddha on this day。 Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central Plains to the whole of China。

Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country。 Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors。 Children will hold self—made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited。 "Guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the Festival。

Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns。 If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer。 If they are right, they will get a little gift。

The activity emerged during peoples enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960—1279)。 As riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata。

People will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also called the "Yuanxiao Festival。"Yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan。 It is small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean paste, jujube paste, walnut meat, dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling。

Tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed。 It tastes sweet and delicious。 What’s more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning reunion。 So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family。 joozone。com

In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance, walking on stilts and beating drums while dancing will be staged。 On the night, except for magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a beautiful scene。

Most families spare some fireworks from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival。 Some local governments will even organize a fireworks party。

On the night when the first full moon enters the New Year, people become really intoxicated by the imposing fireworks and bright moon in the sky。
