今天下午我们不用上学,因为一位叫汤素兰的写作教授会在二中开一次讲座。我因为下午迟到很有可能连汤教授讲的许多重点都没装进头脑里,不过还好我没有迟到很久,不然这次讲座一些有趣的事我也不会知道了。

我刚到那时汤教授就说了一个小故事,也就是每一只蜗牛都整天背着小房子走,后来有一天下起了倾盆大雨,这时一只蚂蚁见到了蜗牛便请求蜗牛让它进去躲躲雨,蜗牛只是说:“我房子很小,如果你能挤进来就进来吧!”不久蚂蚁就进去了,没几分钟兔子因为不想把雪白的外衣搞湿,便也请求蜗牛让它进去躲躲雨,可蜗牛的回答和先说的一样,不久兔子也进去了,没过多久一个小男孩穿着新衣服在四周躲雨,手里还拿着足球,走着走着他也见到了这只蜗牛,也请求蜗牛让他躲躯雨,没想到蜗牛和前面说的还是一样,不久小男孩也挤进了进去,可就只有耳朵留在外面听完故事后,我们所有同学都感到太不可思议了,这么小的壳怎么能容得下一个人呢?还好汤教授解释了说这是一篇童话故事,才使这议论纷纷的场面终于平静了下来,后来汤教授还讲了写童话做到要让读者感到令人快乐,我们就必需要有想象力,也要有一定道理。

听了这次讲座后我学到了不少珍贵的知识。

Dear Mother,

Your hard work!

At the moment whether you are in the high temperature machine room in the

hands to mechanically operate the machine; At the moment, whether you have been

too busy to think about me in school; At this moment the midnight bell is about

to strike, whether you are still empty belly, endure the roar of machinery in

busy overtime, I clearly see your swarthy face has a trace of years, sweat beads

gathered into a stream winding down...

Mom, Im afraid Im going to lose sleep tonight because I made an

"unforgivable" mistake. I have slapped myself several times, but the thought of

your frail figure is too much for my conscience to bear. In order to make a

living, you and your father work away from home all the year round. This year,

you were going to accompany me to study. "Sophomore year, key!" I know this is a

decision you and Dad have made after much thought and consideration. Considering

the situation at home, I refused.

I bought you a ticket to go away with tears in my eyes, and very

reluctantly put you on the train, I can clearly see the tears twinkling in your

eyes. Mom, I dont envy others wearing brand clothes, wearing brand jewelry; I

dont envy them having their parents pick them up every day; I dont envy them

eating nutritious breakfast prepared by their parents every day.

Although I can only with boiled water, eating steamed buns, but I know that

my mother gave me love is not lost to anyone. Mother you have been told me to

pay attention to nutrition, improve food, but I learned from the mouth of your

fellow villagers that you drink porridge with pickles every day, today is the

weekend, a week of steamed bread I want to do a la carte; My shoes are broken,

my thumbs are "happy", I want to buy a pair of sneakers at a reduced price;

Mid-term exam is coming soon, I learn not solid enough, want to go to Xinhua

bookstore around. So, I chuang the only two hundred dollars, this is my hard

work, under the pillow has been pressed flat, I know three years when the money

is much, I dont want to old to you for money, and brother next year will rise

the third year.

Walk in the street, those common sneakers also want 30, 50 yuan, later I

still wear old shoes into the Xinhua bookstore, come out, it is dusk, into the

vegetable market, I picked a jin of cabbage, a jin of carrots. This time, I

spent $2.70. But What I never expected, mother, was that when I took the money

that night, it was gone. Two hundred dollars just disappeared, And I broke down,

and it felt like the sky was falling down, and I went crazy and searched

everywhere I went today, but... Mom, Im sorry to you, and dad, when I was going

to tell you, but you called to tell me that you were injured, accidentally cut

by the machine on the hand, you let me how to open my mouth! I didnt have a

night class, I cried, and cried happily on the playground for a whole night.

The pressure on study, the loneliness in life, the condemnation in my

heart, the pain of missing my loved ones, mom, can you understand my mood now?

Mom, I miss you.

篇3:防震减灾讲座观后感

全文共 890 字

+ 加入清单

四川汶川发生里氏8.0级地震,地震造成将近7万人遇难,37万多人受伤,1万8千人失踪。这是多么巨大的灾难啊!举国悲痛,世界震惊。为了警醒世人,经国务院批准,自20--年起,每年5月12日被定为全国防灾减灾日。今年5月12日,是我国第八个防灾减灾日,主题是“减少灾害风险,建设安全城市”。

我们的身边不可避免的存在着各种各样的灾害侵犯的隐患,如台风、暴雨、火灾、地震、雷电、交通事故等等,我们要提升自救互救技能,主动防灾、科学避灾,有效救灾。上周,5月12日,我们开展了地震应急演练活动,就是为了训练我们避灾自救技能。那么,我们在地震发生时要注意哪些呢?

首先最重要的就是要镇静,任何突发应急事件不要慌乱。

如果正在上课时发生了地震,同学们应尽快躲到课桌下,用书包护住头部;靠墙的同学要紧靠墙根,双手护住头部;远离窗户,以防玻璃碎片伤人。在走廊或楼梯上同学,应找墙角蹲下,保护好头部,远离墙上悬挂的装饰物,等震动停止后迅速向外撤离。

如果在操场等户外,绝对不能跑进建筑物中避险,也不要在广告牌下、篮球架下等危险地方停留,尽量向空旷的地方集中。用毛巾、衣服捂住口鼻,防止烟尘窒息。

当然,人的一生遇到大的灾难的几率是小的,我们更加要注意小的安全问题,提高防范意识,

1、上下楼梯安全。严格遵守学校上下楼梯制度,禁止在集体上下楼梯时逆向行走,讲究秩序,轻声慢步,防止事故的发生。

2、交通安全。严守交通法规,过马路时要先观察车辆情况,主动避让机动车辆。按时上学和回家,不在外逗留。

3、夏季防溺水、防雷电、防传染病、防食物中毒安全。

4、正确处理同学间的矛盾。同学间遇到矛盾时,要冷静、理智、友好地处理,自己若不能处理好的话,应该请老师帮忙解决。决不能感情用事,采用打架等暴力违法方式解决纠纷。

5、心理安全。同学们心理上要形成积极、健康、自信、自强的乐观品质,遇到心理问题要找好友、老师和家长帮忙疏导,不可产生自暴自弃、自残自虐的不良心理。

同学们,生命是美好的,生活是多姿多彩的,而要拥有这一切的前提是安全。所以我们一定要时刻加强安全意识,珍爱生命,努力增强自我防范能力,时刻注意防灾减灾,做到警钟长鸣!

篇10:于丹讲座观后感

全文共 1230 字

+ 加入清单

于丹教授关于中小学人格教育的讲座,让我受益匪浅。让我懂得了很多家长与孩子之间的教育、人格、沟通、学习、健康成长的问题。

于丹教授演讲的几个主题分别是:1.父母应怎样正确认识孩子,如何拟定合理的人生目标。2.孩子不听话,爱发脾气,作为家长应如何正确引导教育。3.怎样教育孩子理解父母、尊敬老师、懂得感恩。4.培育孩子抵抗挫折能力的重要意义。于丹教授的演讲非常精彩并且运用小故事更形象具体:

1.父母应怎样正确认识孩子,如何拟定合理的人生目标。于丹教授建议要关心的问题是今天的孩子快乐吗?并运用了禅宗小故事,告诉我们一碗米的价值因人而异,孩子的价值空间也是因人而异,重要的是怎样让孩子自己来认知。

2.孩子不听话,爱发脾气,作为家长应如何正确引导教育。在讲这个主题的时候,于丹老师先讲了一个小故事,这个小故事想必大家都知道:从前有一个小男孩,他十分爱发脾气。有一天,他的爸爸把他带到院子里的篱笆跟前,对他说:“孩子,以后你每发一次脾气就在篱笆上钉一颗钉子。”这个男孩便照着爸爸说的去做了。第一天快结束的时候,小男孩去篱笆跟前看,他这一天就钉了30多颗钉子,他十分惊讶,怎么自己一天中就发这么多次脾气呢?他自己都没感觉到。这时,爸爸走到他的旁边说:“要想让钉子更少就只能学会控制自己的脾气。”小男孩就尽力控制自己的脾气,于是每天钉的钉子越来越少:十几颗、十颗、五颗、三颗,终于有一天,他高兴地跑到爸爸跟前说:“爸爸,我今天一颗钉子也没有钉!”爸爸说:“那就把钉子全拔了吧。”待小男孩把钉子全拔了后,爸爸又对他说:“今天一颗钉子都没定这固然很好,但你有没有想到这上面的钉子孔还是会留在别人的心上的。”。这个故事深深震撼着我们家长的心灵,是啊,有时我们对于孩子过于情绪化,完全把他们当成私人物品,高兴的时候能容忍孩子的一切错误缺点,不高兴的时候却会为一点小事对孩子大发雷霆。这个故事告诉我们在日常生活中要和要求孩子一样要求自己不要乱发脾气。

3.怎样教育孩子理解父母、尊敬老师、懂得感恩。这个主题于丹老师运用了孔子对于孝的解释“色难”------千难万难难不过給长辈一个好脸色看。孝敬老人,善待孩子,家长孩子要孝敬老人,态度要和颜悦色,一种好的表达有的时候跟沟通的内容同样重要,不能过分溺爱孩子,让孩子懂得感恩。而在这于丹老师又引用了孔子的一段话:一个人的成长入则孝,出则悌,谨而言,泛爱众,而亲仁。行有余力,则以学文。告诉我们家庭教育最为主要,然后是社会教育,最后才是书本教育,所以我们这些父母都是孩子的第一任启蒙老师是多么的重要。

4、培育孩子抵抗挫折能力的重要意义。运用陶罐的故事和自身的经历,告诉我们好的老师和好的父母不但要教育好孩子不能躲避挫折,更应教会孩子在挫折中修复生命。

总之,看了于丹教授的讲座给人启迪很大,希望我们的家长、老师、社会都能帮助我们的孩子健康快乐的成长,让孩子走进社会、学会沟通、善于协调、融入群体、勇于承担,做一个生活的强者,做一个对社会有用的人。

篇11:于丹讲座视频观后感

全文共 638 字

感激在我们大家中间,是阳光,是雨露,是头顶永远晶莹闪烁的星辰,也是我们首先要教会自己孩子的一种生活习惯。应当说,父母对孩子的爱是需要得到精神和物质的回报的。一旦孩子懂得回报了,父母的爱才有积极的意义。那么,如何教育孩子学会感恩呢?首先,将感恩习惯的养成教育渗透于日常生活之中。让孩子从小就浸润在感恩的环境里,真心感受,再通过家长的言传身教,使之耳濡目染,并内化于人格之中。要利用一切可以利用的契机对孩子进行教育,如:告诉他这件衣服是爸爸给你的,你要感谢爸爸;这本书是哥哥姐姐送你的,你要谢谢哥哥姐姐。时时言感谢,事事存感恩。

其次,要充分利用各种节日作为教育的载体。如:春节时要教孩子热情接受爷爷、奶奶及其他亲属送给他的礼物,并表示感谢,不管价钱多少,回到家里都要求孩子妥善保管,学会珍惜别人的情意;教师节,让孩子亲手制作贺卡送给老师,表达对老师的美好祝愿;父亲节和母亲节,给爸爸妈妈说几句感谢的话语,不一定感谢爸爸妈妈给他们帮了多大的忙,而只需表达生活中感觉很幸福的一点一滴。

再次,组织相关活动,让孩子在对比中感知幸福,学会感恩。可以带小孩到孤儿院或伤残医院参观,可以鼓励、组织孩子与贫困地区的孩子结对交友等,让孩子在对比中体会过去不懂、不在意因而也不会珍惜的东西,改变孩子的冷漠,从而引发其慈悲心、惜福心、感恩心。

最后,作为“为人师表”的教师,要做好表率。在学校中、在学生日常交往中,得到学生的帮助,老师始终要对学生的付出表示感谢,让孩子在洋溢着浓浓的感激的氛围中茁壮成长。

6、班主任要做好班级安全排查以及矛盾纠纷工作,发现问题,及时上报。

老师们,同学们,这个期末高温陪伴着我们,大雨、冰雹不时光顾,,因此我们要提高警惕,消除安全隐患,下学离开学校前谨记关闭电灯、电扇等,拔去所有用电插头,关闭门窗。

同学们,期考即将来临,让我们在风雨中潜心复习,在酷暑下磨砺自己,共同度过一个充实、安全、文明的期末。

篇20:民俗文化英文

全文共 2149 字

+ 加入清单

A folk culture is a small isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals. Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family and interpersonal. Relationships are strong. Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties. Rather, each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks, though duties may differ between the sexes. Most goods are handmade and subsistence economy prevails. Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo America is the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving devices of the industrial age. In Amish areas, horse drawn buggies still serve as a local transportation device and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles. The Amish's central religious concept of Demut "humility", clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect. The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order.

By contrast a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group often highly individualistic and a pronounced many specialized professions. Secular institutions of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money-based economy prevails. Because of these contrasts, "popular" may be viewed as clearly different from "folk". The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations. Folk-made objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use or leads more prestige to the owner.
