How is everything with you lately? We hope to know more about you and your

American students. Hope to keep in close touch.

All the best.

Yours，

尊敬的各位老师、亲爱的同学们：

早上好！

我是1321班熊来仪的妈妈。很高兴能在博才实验中学升旗仪式这一庄严的时刻上台与各位分享，我在教育孩子的过程中所得出的心得体会。其实，我只是太多优秀学生家长中的普通一员，今天能代表众多家长发言，我深感荣幸，感谢校方的安排，感谢各位老师、同学们对我们的肯定。

自2013年9月孩子进入博才开始，至今已过去一年半的时光。一路走来，作为家长，我也陪同孩子经历了很多，其中有对学校教育理念的期待、有对孩子成长的期盼，但更多的是如何从父母的角度对孩子给予成长的帮助。正所谓：十年树木，百年树人。成才路上的种种艰辛，作为父母的我们深有体会。伴随并见证孩子的成长是父母辛苦却又最幸福的事情，我家来仪虽不足够优秀，但每天都在成长进步，作为家长，我倍感欣慰。培养经验谈不上，今天就交流几点体会，不当之处，还请批评指正。

一、加强与孩子的沟通。我们家有条针对家长的家规——和孩子作朋友，对于孩子的成长道路上出现的问题，我们始终保持多理解，多鼓励，少埋怨，少责骂的态度。人与人之间的距离是可怕的，哪怕父母与孩子之间也不例外。我认为：如果能找到适当的时间跟孩子好好沟通，互相了解，换位思考，多给孩子一些关爱，那么这种努力一定有收益。我们并不求孩子办大事，但求脚踏实地对待每一件小事。在我们看来，孩子的态度远比结果重要。她今天的学习态度，就是她今后的工作态度，甚至人生态度。虽然我们都很忙，但不管怎么忙，我们一定会多抽时间陪陪孩子，了解她的心理、她的朋友、她最近的学习生活，定时定期与老师沟通孩子的在校表现。这样，才能发现孩子在成长的路上所出现的问题，并及时给予帮助，好让孩子的青春路走得更为顺畅平安。

二、培养孩子学习的能力。为了训练能力、提高成绩，适当多做一些课后练习是必要的。在此，我要谈谈我们家对孩子提出的“五个一”：一是每天利用一些时间温习功课、完成作业；二是每天攻克一条学科知识难点；三是每周阅读一本好书，写好心得感悟，培养良好的阅读习惯；四是每天帮家长做一点家务活，培养孩子勤劳节俭的好品质；五是参加一些有意义的社会实践活动，培养孩子发

现问题、解决问题、有独到见解的能力。而正式这“五个一”家规的坚持施行，让来仪在德智体美劳各个方面都有了显著的提高。

三、正确对待成绩，及时调整学习战术。在我们家，每次来仪考完试，无论成绩怎样，我们都会先让她分析原因、找出差距，并自己制定出一个接下来的学习策略，而作为家长则起辅助引导的作用，而不是给孩子施加压力。家长不关注成绩是不可能的，但过度关注又绝对是不可取的。通过考试，最重要的是了解孩子的学习状况，帮助孩子了解存在的问题和不足，并及时弥补。只要以后的考试作业中不犯类似错误，我的目的就达到了。家长应从孩子的基础出发，多肯定、多鼓劲。我们一直坚信——好孩子是夸出来的。

四、重视孩子的品德教育、安全教育和青春期教育。一是不要迷恋网游，要有效利用网络资源进行学习；二是教育孩子端正审美观，言语要得体，举止要文明；三是关爱生命，提高防范意识，防止交通事故、火灾事故、盗抢事件的发生；四是做好青春期教育，教育孩子正确面对开放多元的媒体影响，强堵不如巧疏，有针对性传授科学知识；五是多与孩子交心，培养孩子的兴趣爱好，知道孩子正常交往，帮助她理智超越情感，培育高尚情操，让孩子在丰富多彩的活动中得到足够多的情感满足，坦然愉快地步入青春期，充分享受花季的绚丽多姿。

人生漫长，未来责任重大，中学阶段的孩子即将步入青春期，所以如何帮助孩子渡过这个转型期至关重要，学校固然是教育孩子的重要因素，但我们家长更是孩子转型期不可或缺的领路人。制定良好的家规家训，不仅可以帮助孩子规范行为习惯、提升学习成绩，更能从现在开始指引孩子以后的人生旅程。以上我所分享的，只是我在教育过程中的个人感悟，在博才实验中学，我们有经验丰富的教师团队，有睿智亲切的家长群体，更有可爱好学的孩子们。相信我们一起努力，帮助孩子制定属于孩子自己的家训家规，一定可以帮助孩子们渡过青春转型期，有一个更顺利更精彩的人生！

谢谢大家！

《In Love》

If love be love , if love be ours,

如果你我相爱，如果爱就是爱

Faith and unfaith can ne’er be equal powers;

忠诚与背信的力量天壤之别，

Unfaith in aught is want of faith in all.

点滴失信便让诚实永远欠缺。

It is the little rift within the lute,

就像琵琶上的小小纹裂，

That by and by will make the music mute,

And ever widening showly silence all.

当裂痕慢慢扩大，琴声终将彻底寂灭。

The little rift within the lover’s lute,

琵琶上的小小纹裂，就像爱人心中的裂纹

Or little pitted speck in garner’d fruit,

就像果实中的烂斑无法察觉，

That rotting inward slowly moulders all,

它会慢慢腐朽，并将腐蚀一切。，

It is not worth the keeping, let it go;

如无价值继续，那就断然了结，

But shall it?answer, darling, answer,no,

但是会这样吗?亲爱的，你要说不，斩金截铁，

And trust me not all or all in all.

对我，要么怀疑一切，要么相信一切。

To end our special news bulletin, said the voice of the television announcer, we‘re going over to the macaroni fields of Calabria. Macaroni has been grown in this area for over six hundred years. Two of the leading growers, Giuseppe Moldova and Riccardo Brabante, tell me that they have been expecting a splendid crop this year and harvesting has begun earlier than usual. Here you can see two workers who, between them, have just finished cutting three cartloads of golden brown macaroni stalks. The whole village has been working day and night gathering and threshing this year‘s crop before the September rains. On the right, you can see Mrs. Brabante herself. She has been helping her husband for thirty years now. Mrs. Brabante is talking to the manager of the local factory where the crop is processed. This last scene shows you what will happen at the end of the harvest: the famous Calabrian macaroni-eating competition! Signor Fratelli, the present champion, has won it every year since 1991. And that ends our special bulletin for today, Thursday, April lst. We‘re now going back to the studio.

[关于愚人节的英文作文

着名作家梁实秋擅长演讲，他的演讲独具风采，给人们留下了深刻的印象。他在师大任教期间，当时的校长刘真，常请名人到校演讲。有一次，主讲人因故迟到，在座的师生都等得很不耐烦。于是，刘真便请在座的梁实秋上台给同学们讲几句话。梁实秋本不愿充当这类角色，但校长有令，只好以一副无奈的表情，慢吞吞地说：“过去演京戏，往往在正戏上演之前，找一个二三流的角色，上台来跳跳加官，以便让后台的主角有充分的时间准备。我现在就是奉命出来跳加官的。”话不寻常，引起全场哄堂大笑，驱散了师生们的不快。

分析：幽默，流于俗套就成了无厘头;而恰到好处的幽默，则是智慧的闪光，有着化腐朽为神奇的力量。

Success, as is known, is the pursuit of many ambitious people. It requires much of a person.

In my  above all, one should be a person of strong perseverance. Rome was not built in a day. On our long way to success, there are  undoubtedly many difficulties standing in the way. If we lose heart and give up

halfway, nothing can be achieved. Throughout history, we havehad many famous successful people in the world, of whom no one is weak-minded. Take the great American scientist Edison as an example, he tried experiment after experiment and had one failure after another before he finally invented the bulb, which lighted up the whole world. So we can conclude perseverance can surely be one of the secrets of success. Furthermore, one needs to work hard to realize his dream just as the famous saying goes “Hard work leads to success”.

Look at these around us and we’ll find diligent people are always the favor of our society. They usually achieve more than expected. Why do so many of our classmates of average intelligence go far ahead of othersHard work is definitely supposed to be the answer. And still, I hold that one must keep in pace with the informative world. There’s no denying that our world is changing every day. So one can never be locked alone inside his own room, doing his research work and dedicated to book knowledge

How can an isolated person be well-informed enough to go ahead of othersIf so, that could be ridiculous. Success is what one desires. So long as one is perseverant, hard working and up-to-date, I am sure success is near at hand

Not until I arrived at home after watching the movie ”Peddington Bear” with my family when a feeling of warmth and strength suddenly came to me. It’s about love, it’s about family.

The plot of the movie is really simple, even predictable and a little bit cliche. However, it’s so rare for me to meet such a snug film. Maybe there’s some resonance between the core topic ---- family and myself, or, it’s just relaxing and touching, depending on how you look at it.

The film has little input and obvious theme (dream, kindness, tolerance, trust, and love... Americans love that!), and you can even see it as an advertising video made by the U.K. Government! But, things always act like that---- the simpler the emotion is, the easier we forget. The film has it’s meaning to arouse something ignored by us. And treasure everyone, everything you have.

You can either imagine family as a gasoline station, or the safest harbor. Family won’t mind your lose, your excuse, your fault, it will give you a hand, and ask you to have a rest. Family is the most supportive one behind you, forever and always.

Good luck to everyone!

Fathers Day is a holiday to celebrate fatherhood and parenting by males,

just as Mothers Day celebrates motherhood. Typically giving gifts to fathers

and celebrating as a family is the main event of the day. Fathers Day is

celebrated on different days in different countries.

Fathers Day exists almost all over the world to honor and commemorate

fathers or forefathers. In the Roman Catholic tradition, Fathers Day is

celebrated on Saint Josephs Day, March 19, though in most countries Fathers

Day is a secular celebration.

In recent years, retailers have adapted to the holiday by selling

male-oriented gifts such as electronics and tools. Schools and other childrens

programs commonly have activities to make Fathers Day gifts.

In the United States, the driving force behind the establishment of the

celebration of Fathers Day was Mrs Sonora Smart Dodd, born in Creston,

Washington. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, as a single

parent raised his six children in Spokane, Washington. She was inspired by Anna

Jarviss efforts to establish Mothers Day. Although she initially suggested

June 5, the anniversary of her fathers death, she did not provide the

organizers with enough time to make arrangements, and the celebration was

deferred to the third Sunday of June. The first Fathers Day was celebrated on

June 19, 1910, in Spokane.

Unofficial support from such figures as William Jennings Bryan was

immediate and widespread. President Woodrow Wilson was personally feted by his

family in 1916. President Calvin Coolidge recommended it as a national holiday

in 1924. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson made Fathers Day a holiday to be

celebrated on the third Sunday of June. The holiday was not officially

recognized until 1972, during the presidency of Richard Nixon.

one windy spring day, i observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds darting and dancing. as the strong winds gusted against the kites, a string kept them in check.

instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great heights. they shook and pulled, but the restraining string and the cumbersome tail kept them in tow, facing upward and against the wind. as the kites struggled and kept them in tow, facing upward and against the wind. as the kites struggled and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, let me go! let me go! i want to be free! they soared beautifully even as they fought the restriction of the string. finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. free at last, it seemed to say. free to fly with the wind.

yet freedom from restraint simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic breeze. it fluttered ungracefully to the ground and landed in a tangled mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. free at last , free to lie powerless in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to lodge lifeless against the first obstruction.how much like kites we sometimes are. the heaven gives us adversity and restrictions, rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength. restraint is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition. some of us tug at the rules so hard that we never soar to reach the heights we might have obtained. we keep part of the commandment and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.

In my impression, there have been a lot of things, some happy, some sad, some sad, and some are very memorable. And in my mind, one of the most memorable things is that I skied for the first time.

I still remember that day is the lunar new year, we have a father with a colleague came to the Chaoyang park. I see a lot of people, one of the small stalls one by one can be really busy!

We came to the skiing field, which was my first skiing. I walked slowly to the snow in a sled. My uncle taught me some basic writing, and I slipped down on a small slope with sister Xuan Xuan. My sister and I want to slip from the highest place to Xuan Xuan. At this time, the heart of the father and mother in the underneath will jump out. At that time I thought I would skid as long as I had been taught by my uncle. So I slipped off without hesitation. I finally succeeded. My father and mother were happy to laugh, and my uncle and aunt applauded me. I felt very happy this day.

Although it has been a long time ago, I have been impressed. Its unforgettable.

It is difficult for people to achieve professional success without sacrificing important aspects of a fulfilling personal life.

Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion slated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.

Are professional success and a fulfilling personal life mutually exclusive? Probably not, although it is more difficult today to achieve both.

Undeniably, todays professionals must work long hours to keep their heads above water, let alone to get ahead in life financially. This is especially true in Japan, where cost of living, coupled with corporate culture, compel professional males to all but abandon their families and literally to work themselves to death. While the situation here in the states may not be as critical, the two-income family is now the norm, not by choice but by necessity.

However, our societys professionals are taking steps to remedy the problem. First, they are inventing ways such as job sharing and telecommuting to ensure that personal life does not take a back seat to career. Second, they are setting priorities and living those hours outside the workplace to their fullest. In fact, professional success usually requires the same time-management skills that are useful to find time for family, hobbies, and recreation. One need only look at the recent American presidents-Clinton, Bush, Reagan and Carter- to see that it is possible to lead a balanced life which includes time for family, hobbies, and recreation, while immersed in a busy and successful career. Third, more professionals are changing careers to ones which allow for some degree of personal fulfillment and self-actualization. Besides, many professionals truly love their work and would do it without compensation, as a hobby. For them, professional and personal fulfillments are one and the same.

[GMAT理想与现实为题目的英文作文

My father, Winston Churchill, began his love affair with painting in his 40s, amid disastrous circumstances. As First Lord of the Admiralty in 1915, he was deeply involved in a campaign in the Dardanelles that could have shortened the course of a bloody world war. But when the mission failed, with great loss of life, Churchill paid the price, both publicly and privately. He was removed from the admiralty and effectively sidelined.

Overwhelmed by the catastrophe — “I thought he would die of grief,” said his wife, Clementine —he retired with his family to Hoe Farm, a country retreat in Surrey. There, as Churchill later recalled, “The muse of painting came to my rescue!”

Wandering in the garden one day, he chanced upon his sister-in-law sketching with watercolors. He watched her for a few minutes, then borrowed her brush and tried his hand. The muse had cast her spell!

Churchill soon decided to experiment with oils. Delighted with this distraction from his dark broodings, Clementine rushed off to buy whatever paints she could find.

For Churchill, however, the next step seemed difficult as he contemplated with unaccustomed nervousness the blameless whiteness of a new canvas. He started with the sky and later described how “very gingerly I mixed a little blue paint on the palette, and then with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean upon the affronted snow-white shield. At that moment the sound of a motor car was heard in the drive. From this chariot stepped the gifted wife of Sir John Lavery .”

“ ‘Painting!’ she declared. ‘But what are you hesitating about? Let me have the brush — the big one.’ Splash into the turpentine, wallop into the blue and the white, frantic flourish on the palette, and then several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the absolutely cowering canvas.”

At that time, John Lavery— a Churchill neighbor and celebrated painter— was tutoring Churchill in his art. Later, Lavery said of his unusual pupil: “Had he chosen painting instead of statesmanship, I believe he would have been a great master with the brush.”

In painting, Churchill had discovered a companion with whom he was to walk for the greater part of the years that remained to him. After the war, painting would offer deep solace when, in 1921, the death of the mother was followed two months later by the loss of his and Clementine’s beloved three-year-old daughter, Marigold. Battered by grief, Winston took refuge at the home of friends in Scotland, finding comfort in his painting. He wrote to Clementine: “I went out and painted a beautiful river in the afternoon light with crimson and golden hills in the background. Alas I keep feeling the hurt of the Duckadilly (Marigold’s pet name).”

Historians have called the decade after 1929, when the Conservative government fell and Winston was out of office, his wilderness years. Politically he may have been wandering in barren places, a lonely fighter trying to awaken Britain to the menace of Hitler, but artistically that wilderness bore abundant fruit. During these years he often painted in the South of France. Of the 500-odd canvases extant, roughly 250 date from 1930 to 1939.

Painting remained a joy to Churchill to the end of his life. “Happy are the painters,” he had written in his book Painting as a Pastime, “ for they shall not be lonely. Light and color, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day.” And so it was for my father.

我的父亲，温斯顿·丘吉尔，在他四十多岁时开始迷恋上绘画，当时环境异常恶劣。那是在1915年，任海军大臣的他，积极投身于在达达尼尔海峡的一场战役中，这场战役本可以缩短那段血雨腥风的世界大战。但由于遭受失败，伤亡惨重，丘吉尔于公于私都付出了代价。他被从海军部调离且实则坐起了冷板凳。

在灾难的折磨下——他的妻子克莱门廷说：“我想他会痛苦而死，”——他携家带口来到萨利郡的一处乡间静居霍·华姆。在那儿，丘吉尔后来回忆道，“是绘画中的冥思拯救了我！”

一天他在花园散步时，偶然看到他的弟媳在用水彩作画。他观察了几分钟，然后向她借了画笔并一试身手。他的专注仿佛给他施了魔法！

丘吉尔很快就决定试试去画油画。看到他从阴暗的忧郁思中解脱出来，克莱门廷非常开心，她赶忙去买所有能买到的颜料。

然而，迈出下一步似乎有些困难，因为丘吉尔看到一块新画布的洁白无暇时感到无所适从和为难。他先从天空画起，后来他描述如何“非常谨慎地在调色板上加入一点儿蓝色调，然后以万分的小心，在这块被蓄意冒犯的雪白的防护板上点上豌豆大的一笔。这时，传来一阵驾驶机动车的马达声。约翰·拉威利先生才华出众的太太从这辆车中姗然而下。

“‘在画画呀！’她高声说着。‘可你还在犹豫什么呢？给我那支笔——那支头号的。’只见松油飞溅，她在蓝白颜料间挥毫泼墨，在调色板上龙飞凤舞，接着在吓得发皱的油画布上用力东戳西捣几下蓝色。”

那时，约翰·拉威利——丘吉尔的邻居，也是一位有名的画家—正教丘吉尔学画。后来提及他的这位特殊的学生，拉威利说：“倘若他选择绘画而不是从政，我相信他会是位绘画大师的。”

在绘画中，丘吉尔找到了能陪他度过余生大部分时光的知已。战后，在1921年，母亲刚去世两个月，他和克莱门廷就失去了他们深爱着的三岁女儿玛丽戈尔德，这时作画给了他一些安慰。在痛苦的打击下，温斯顿来到苏格兰朋友们的家中以求得安慰，用绘画来解脱自己。他在给克莱门廷的信中说：“我出外画了一条夕阳下美丽的溪流，背后映衬着晚霞的群山。唉，达克迪莉（玛丽戈尔德的昵称）使我的苦痛总是挥之不去。

史学家把1929年后的十年，也就是保守党政府垮台而温斯顿下台的时间，称为他的荒凉岁月。政治上，他一直在举步维艰的处境中徘徊，是一个孤独的勇士在努力唤起受到希特勒威胁的国人，但在艺术上他在那荒凉岁月却硕果累累。这些年他经常在法国南部作画。在现存的500多张油画中，大约250张是1930至1939年间的作品。

绘画给丘吉尔带来了乐趣直到他的人生尽头。在他所著的《画中的消遣》里说：“画家其乐融融，因为他们不会孤独。光与色，和平与希望，会始终伴随他们。”我父亲就是这样一个人。

These days Ive just finished the novel Uncle Toms Cabin that left a really deep impression on me and we can see.

It is a book written in 1852 in response to the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law， Uncle Toms Cabin has been considered as the most influential anti-slavery novel in that period and described by Stowe herself as a “series of sketches” describing the human cruelty of slavery， opens with a description of Arthur Shelbys Kentucky plantation during the antebellum period.

There are several impressive characters in this novel， George who is clever and brave;Harry， a beautiful and talented child who sings dances and mimes;Mrs. Shelby， a very religious woman;Sambo and Qimbo and so on. The major character Uncle Tom who was the most impressive in this novel was a devout Christian. He endured the miserable fate bravely and aroused the whites sympathy for slaves with his Christs sacrifice and the tolerance of returning good for evil. This novel focuses on the distinctive personalities of Uncle Tom deeply influenced by Christianity and the important role Uncle Toms Cabin playing on abolition; and the Significance of “Uncle Tom” to the harmonious worlds development， and the effect on modern people.

In the book， at the beginning， the author presents us a very beautiful image of a rather harmonious family who live a happy life. However， that beautiful image couldnt last long， the darkness came soon. The master of this happy family， Uncle Tom was arranged into a difficult situation. As Shelby， the not cruel master， he has incurred serious debts- prompting him sell some slaves to avoid financial ruin， so Uncle Tom， Shelbys loyal servant since childhood was sold to Mr. Haley， the slave trader. Uncle Tom remained loyal to his master， despite his betrayal and the risk of death at the cruel hands of a new master. The slaves at the plantation were very mournful， but Tom remained placid and tried to read his Bible for fort. On the steamboat to New Orleans， where Tom was to be sold， Tom befriended an angelic little girl， “Little Eva” St. Clare. Uncle Tom saved the five-year-old beauty from drowning， and she convinced her father to buy Tom for her own family. In her family， Tom enjoye.

d his life because of the girls love; Toms contentment does not last， however， because Eva soon falls ill. Dying， Eva asked Mr. St. Clare to free Tom after her death. But Mr. St. Clare is so sad by her death that he never legally freed Tom before he himself was killed trying to mediate a barroom scuffle. Mrs. St. Clare sold the slaves to settle her husbands debts and Tom was sold to Simon Legree who was so violent that beat his slaves brutally. At last， when Mr. Shelby， finally found Uncle Tom， he was almost died. After Tom was dead and buried， Shelby went back and freed his slaves.

As we all can see that Uncle Toms Cabin was an anti-slavery novel and it was even considered as one factor that caused the Civil War. In the novel， the slaves were sold from one place to another frequently， and their fate was tragic， with no exception- just like Uncle Tom， no matter he was under the control of kind masters or evil masters， he cant escape the misfortune of being sold from one master to another. We cant see any human right of them， so terrible.

As someone said， with more people realizing the inhumanity of slavery in the 19th century， slavery became one of the most important issues and it became more violent year by year in American society. However， slavery was not abolished irrevocably until ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865， following the Civil War. After the passage of Fugitive Slave Act of 1850， Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote this novel Uncle Toms Cabin which publicized the evil of slavery to a wide audience.

Now we are in the 21st century， we may never e across such kind of thing. However， this book can always remind of us that there ever has existed this evil and we cant let it happen again. And “equality” 、“human right ” cant just be a slogan， we should make it e true really and always.
