In this winter holiday, I am the most happy thing is the fifteenth day of the yuanxiao. One day, our family after dinner early and ready for years. Just after six o clock, my brother and sister is lit torches, already prepared in every house turned a circle to send down the stairs, the family behind to the yard. Neighbors are the torches sent out of the hall, everybody together joyfully jumped up the fire in the yard. All sides gradually came to break out of firecrackers, from time to time, flashing colorful fireworks in the sky.

Jump over the fire, we as people towards the street, watch fireworks, all the way all the way to put firecrackers. Came to a more open place, I cant wait to get out what you wish for the lamp, open, carefully drums blowing it first and then let mom and dad help to mention above, I quickly fasten a solid fuel, with a lighter lit up, not the fuel burning slowly in a minute. Mother said: "dont worry, wait a moment again." We gently hold the wishing lamp waited a while and make a wish lights began to slowly rise, we all my wishing lamp, closed his hands made the wish of his heart.

Looking at the slowly rising wishing lamp, gradually away from us, the bright light like a star in the sky, to the we blink, as if to say: I will realize your wishes!

在这个寒假里，令我最快乐的事是正月十五闹元宵。这天，我们全家人早早吃完晚饭，准备送年。六点刚过，哥哥、姐姐就点燃早已准备好的火把，在每个屋子里转了一圈送下了楼，一家人紧跟在后面来到院子里。左邻右舍也都陆陆续续把火把送了出来，大家一起在院子里欢快地跳起了火堆。四面渐渐传来此起彼伏的爆竹声，天空中不时闪烁着五彩缤纷的礼花。

跳完火堆，我们随着人流走向大街，一路看花炮，一路放花炮。来到一处比较空旷的地方，我迫不及待地拿出许愿灯，小心翼翼地打开，先把它吹鼓，然后让爸爸、妈妈帮着提住上面，我动作麻利地系好固体燃料，拿着打火机点了起来，不一会儿燃料慢慢地燃着了。妈妈说：“先别急，等一会儿再放。”我们轻轻地扶着许愿灯等了一会儿，许愿灯开始慢慢上升，我们不约而同地丢开许愿灯，合起双手许下了自己的心愿。

望着慢慢上升的许愿灯，渐渐地离我们远去，闪闪烁烁的光芒好像天空中的小星星，对着我们眨眼睛，好像在说：我一定会实现你们的愿望!

大概在五六年前，有一本《考拉小巫的英语学习日记》的书横扫几大论坛，好评如潮，销量达百万册。作者叫考拉小巫，是伊甸园字幕组组长，写书的时候已经逆袭成功，到美国求学。

这本书在豆瓣上的评价很高，万人以上评价，评分8.1，相当不错的成绩。这本书即是一本收录了她实战经验的外语学习招法集，也是她自我的回忆录，一部从差生到优生的奋斗史和逆袭史。考拉小巫本科不是特别好，后来通过努力，出国留学，攻下硕士学位。作者考拉小巫在整本书中都流露出一种真实的态度，行就行，不行就不行。阅读整本书就感觉在和读者的内心进行一次真诚的对话。看他人的人生，用于反思自己。几年前我也读过，几年后重读此书，自然也有一些新的感悟。

关于坚持

现在最新的成功学都提到了一件事，就是专注加坚持，尤其是坚持。我们中大多数人的努力其实都没有达到需要拼天赋的程度。什么时候才是拼天赋的时候?梅西和C罗那个层次，天赋才可能会起到决定性作用，不要忘记C罗是一个极度自律的人，他走向人生巅峰绝对于此不无关系。

考拉小巫在自己的书中里面无数次提到她自创的“傻子哲学”。她说“傻子为什么能成功，因为他很傻，不管做不做成他都一直在坚持”。很多人学外语可能最多两个月就坚持不下去了，我想说，母语者以高负荷的方式训练了几十年的技能，你一业余选手凭什么和人家比。

关于发音和模仿

她在书中着重强调了是语调问题。这个问题是绝大多数中国英语学习者忽略了的问题。因为汉语是声调语言，单个字的声调以固定频率的形式出现，所以句子的语调基本是平的。很多外语学习者可能不知道，英语语调有传递情绪的功能，语调变化甚至能传递说话人的潜台词，比如：反语、讽刺、犹豫、建议等等。错误的语调会让听话人疑惑。考拉小巫的纠正方法是录音，和原文对比。不过几年之后的今天有简单的解决办法，下个配音软件，一切就OK了。

光比对原声不行，还得改善，考拉小巫的方式简单粗暴，就两个字——模仿。

口语自我修炼法

考拉小巫用方法的核心和十二国外语大神本尼·刘易斯的“一分钟迷你讲话稿”不谋而合。也是准备一些小的短文，从向对方描述自己的一天，从这些简单的开始，慢慢加大难度，用口语去形容一个事物和形容一个人物。后面开始甚至还要求举实例论证，最后是现学现用，把学过的词马上使用起来。

隐藏的听写大法

考拉小巫有字幕组的经历，我认为这可能是她英语突飞猛进的一个关键因素。她在做电影字幕，很多时候有听译，听译实际上我们平时的听写是差不多的，而且字幕是要见人的，所以从头到尾容不得一点马虎，可以说，考拉小巫在强迫自己一次一次做高强度听写+理解输出。而且在听译这么多电影的过程中，她一定大量有反复听同一电影的经历。所以，她被她嚼烂了的电影的量，甚至高过一部分人泛读的量。精听精读是提高技能的一个关键步骤，如果她精听的量超过了普通人精读的量，那么我们有理由相信，她至少在接收信息这一方面，有了很大的提高。

关于词汇量的论述

在这本书中，考拉小巫研究来研究去，最后发现影响阅读速度的第一大天敌还是词汇量的问题。她引用了一句话说：“GRE的单词是有用的，在美国读研究生的时候自然就知道了”。

被忽视的机械练习

现在我们提得最多的是刻意练习，学外语都想到的是克拉申、交际法等等。殊不知刻意练习的基础是机械练习，习得一切复杂技能的基础也是机械练习。没有把单个子技能练到炉火纯青，是逃不出舒适区的，更不用说把各个子技能最后串联起来，形成我们所说的技能。考拉小巫说她初中一个吴姓老师奉行fifty

times，就是简单重复50次，我比较赞同这种观点，大量的重复有助于深层次的机械及肌肉及本能记忆。

与高手过招

与高手过招

从初级走向高级的精进之路

精进之路只有一条，坚持，拓展。不过注意到下面这几点，可能会拓展得快一点。

第一，适当接触一些方言和非标准口音。

第二，逐渐积累俚语。

第三，扩充自己的知识面，其中以母语所在国的文化最为重要!

最后呢，考拉小巫还分享了很多小技巧，包括应试、申请材料等很现实的东西。如果想简单点可以直接先照搬她的计划，再适当调整。

今年是新中国成立66周年!十月一日这天，我们全家早早的坐在电视机旁等待观看盛世大阅兵。

十点钟，国庆阅兵式正式开始了，只看见许多军人站在天安门前，有海军、空军、陆军……都站得笔直笔直的，像一棵棵挺拔的青松，接受胡锦涛同志的检阅。整个阅兵式展示了祖国雄厚的国防力量，国泰民安，祖国繁荣昌盛的美好景象。

国庆期间，我和爷爷去了拙政园玩。汽车在路上行驶着，我看见窗外人民桥两旁用鲜花做成的花环，在阳光下更加亮丽，使国庆的气氛更加浓厚了!走在通往拙政园的那条小街上，看到街的两旁的摊位都插着五星红旗，表达对祖国的深厚感情。许多外来游客看见了这么美的景色由衷的伸出了大拇指。拙政园里有菊花，菊花的颜色可多了，有黄色的、红的、白的，五彩缤纷的，美丽极了!

国庆节使我对祖国的了解更深了，对祖国的感情也更深厚了，使我更加热爱我的祖国中国!

今天早上的英语课上老师不一样了，在这个时候就会有人需要注意了，因为在这个时候的人大多数就是玩手机和睡觉的，因为我们需要回答问题！

老师在今天早上突然之间不知怎么回事就让我们回答问题，让我们在这个时候就有一些难以接受，而且我们也不好意思说一句不会，因此在这个时候就需要努力对待了！我和大家原本是一样的，也属于在这个时候玩手机的人，可是没有想到的是老师让人回答问题的时候会站在面前，根本就不得不认真负责，而且她总是在这里来回转悠着，因此过来的时候就不得不注意了，而不知怎么回事，今天早上回答问题的人大多数就在我们旁边，因此在这个时候就需要小心谨慎，而且她让我们一起翻译，而由于我们根本没有仔细阅读，根本就不会翻译，因此我们几个人在这个时候就用手机百度了一下，不过这节课的翻译一下子就出现了，而我们在这个时候就需要努力看看就可以了。

老师多次在我们这里问答，在这个时候就需要认真对待了，而且由于老师在我们旁边，根本就没有人在这个时候还不认真负责，因为一下子就会轮到我们了，当该我的时候属于突然发生的情况，不过由于我这个人在这个时候看了一下，在这个时候还是有一些印象的，而且我的舍友在这个时候还是打辅助的人，我还得到了这个人的帮助！

What do you think the life in the future will be like?

In the future there will be computers in our homes. Computers will help us

to know a lot over the world. We will be able to talk by e-mail. Scientists will

make many robots. Robots can help us to do some cleaning, do some cooking or do

some washing. We can do some shopping and see a doctor without going out of our

homes.

The life in the future will be good. For this, we will study hard. I

believe we’ll be able to do this.

开学了，我从清梦中醒来，听到了十分熟悉的声音：“儿子，儿子，起床啦，新的学期给老师一个新印象。”听到这句话我马上的`从被窝里蹦了起来，马上的穿好衣服去刷牙。

刷完牙吃完早餐后，我抱着从来都没有的好心情去上学，因为我离开母校，奔向一所路途更远的学校——“同乐”。

当我即将到达“同乐”学校的时候，突然，有一股好奇心涌了上来，就在那想，“同乐”是怎么样的呢?会不会很大呢?漂亮吗?······我在那时候想了许许多多的问题。

终于，我来到了“同乐”学校，一间从来没见过也从来没来过的一所学校，更是闻所未闻。当我踏进学校的第一步时，我看见了许许多多的新同学，还有一些考试的时候见到过的同学。

当我走进我的班级时，我看到了我的新同学，还有我的新老师，但是我仔细一看，“咦?”这不是监考的那个老师吗?我从正面一看，惊讶的发现，这真的是我监考的老师，我开心极了，能跟这些老师在一起我的成绩肯定会提高。

这时广播的音乐响了起来，我们各个都马上跑回了座位，动都不敢动。

这时第一节课开始了，是语文课，也就是我的监考老师，后来他自我介绍，我们听了下，原来老师叫张玥，从这时开始，我的新学期开始了。

后来，张老师让我们各自都自我介绍，在介绍的过程中我发现，各式各样的小学都有，但同乐小学及其多，这让我十分的惊奇，但那也是理所当然的。但在新的学期里，我有一个新的目标，不再像以前的我，学不乖，上课不听讲，我要有一个全新的自我!

正所谓书山有路勤为径，学海无涯苦作舟。向着自己的目标，奋力前进!

开学的第一天，一个崭新的一天;一个有意义的一天;一个惊讶与快乐的一天;完美的结束，新的开始!

Today was realiy boring.I went nowhere,I just stayed at home because the

今天可真无聊。我哪儿也没去，就呆在家里，因为今天是雨天。天空中下着倾盆大雨,而且地上汇集着许多污水。

Last week, my school held a New Years Day party. We are very happy, there are a lot of programs. I think the best is the boys perform hip-hop. The most beautiful is the girl who performed a modern dance. The most interesting is the high-grade students performed sketches. Everyone laughed happily. However, Not only not feel. Wonderful two hours passed quickly. I also indulged in a time of joy in this. I’m looking forward to next years arrival.

Tonight, I might lose sleep.Why happiness is always short-lived?

My Weekend

I have happy weekend.

On Saturday morning，I always have English classes at school. I study hard

in the classroom. In the afternoon，I often play computer games. On Sunday

morning I often draw pictures. Sometimes I visit my grandmother and grandfather.

Sometimes I listen to music. On Sunday afternoon I often do housework or go

shopping.

So I love weekends.

我的周末

我有一个快乐的周末。

星期六的早上，我总是在学校上英语课。我努力学习。下午，我经常玩电脑。星期天早上我经常画画。有时候我去看望我的外婆和外公。有时候我听音乐。星期天下午我经常做家务或者购物。

所以我喜欢周末。

Today, I went out with my best friend. When we arrived at the park, it

rained. We had to run in the rain because we couldnt find a place to hide. But

we still feel happy because we could comfort each other. The rain stopped later

and I accompanied her go home. We played in her home for a while and she invited

me for dinner. I refused because I feel it will bring trouble to his family. I

am happy today because the new term is coming. I really want to see my

classmates again

今天和最好的朋友一起出去玩。我们来到公园后，却下起了好大的雨。我们无处可躲。在雨中奔跑着。可是我们却很高兴。因为有彼此的安慰。过了一会，雨停了。我陪着她回家。然后在她家玩了一会，他留我在那里吃饭。可我拒绝了，因为有些不好意思。今天我很快乐，马上就开学了，真想快点见到同学们。

今天，是汇报课进行的倒数第二天了。管佳静在上午第三课进行汇报。整个见实习过程，她都是和我在一个办公室。所有的活动，我们一般都会两个人先一起讨论。我们各自的课堂，在之前的教案设计，教具准备也都是一起进行的。我的汇报课在明天，她的先于今天开始。但是很可惜，因为指导老师管老师临时的任务，我没能去观摩管佳静的汇报课。

结束后，管佳静很失落地告诉我，课堂不是很成功。整堂课总感觉不是那么顺利，她不太明白为什么？因为她的准备还是相当充分的，这点我也是感同身受。结果她的指导老师一语中的，原来是因为管佳静在课堂上太过严肃，面无表情，没能放开，所以不能调动孩子们的积极性。

管佳静开玩笑地和我说自己本身就是个感情匮乏的人。虽是句玩笑话，却让我从中看到了自己的影子。我也是个很内向、很容易羞涩的人。站在讲台上给学生们上课对我来说已经是一种挑战，要做到有声有色，更是难上加难。

但是众所周知，小学教育特别讲究艺术性，就像一个演员，说哭就哭，说笑就笑，而小学老师的语言表达和肢体动作之丰富也不是那么简单就能做好的。对于一直很羞涩的我来说是种挑战。可那是小学教师的必备素养，我想我会突破自己，学会教育的艺术性。

明天的汇报课，便是突破的第一步。希望我能做好。

National Day is coming,and we can have a seven-day.My family are going to

Hainan.Its a good seaside city.We are staying there for a week. We are going to

the beach and going swimming in the sea.Were visiting Tianya Haijiao,Wanquan

River and many other beautiful places.I think well have a good time there.

when my teacher told me to prepare for this competition i restated, hesitated.everybody in my class knows that. i never learned english in my primary school.i couldn’t speak english one year ago, but now, could i take part in this competition? no, i can’t. is aid to myself? i’m afraid ofmaking mistakes before so many learned professors and before my classmates and teachers.sud- denly!

a voice came to my ears.“everybody will make mistakes. even the very famous american president george bush” my english teacher said in my class.when i heard that, i think i can. i runinto my teacher’s office happily. “i will do it.” i said. so i stand here today. in front of you.

Today, when I awaked up, I found the air-conditioner didn’t work. I used

the control, but it still didn’t work. I knew the air-conditioner was in

trouble. I went downstairs. My father told me two air-conditioner and two

computer had been broken. Because my father used electric making machine to make

electric, so the voltage was not stable. It led to the trouble. Oh! Whenever the

government will let the factory use electric? If it lasts longer, I will be

crazy!

今天，当我醒来时，我发现空调不工作。我所使用的控制，但它仍然没有工作。我知道空调器是在麻烦。我走下楼去。我父亲告诉我的两个冷气机和两个计算机已被打破。因为我的父亲曾经电制造的机器使电力，所以其电压并不稳定。这导致了麻烦。哦!每当政府将让工厂使用电动?如果持续下去，我会疯了!

今天，天气转凉，大家都披上了大衣，来到了美丽的校园，小鸟似乎变少了，小草开始掉发了，大叔开始掉牙了，这意味着一年即将过去了，一眨眼十月已经过半，一年还有最后的三分之一，一天跟光速一般，在这光是的日子里发生了许多有趣的事情，在中学的每一节可我都听得非常认真听从老师指挥和安排，也在每一节课里紧紧抓住每一个知识点，虽然上课很死板，但有几堂课却让我记忆犹新，比如今天的英语课……

“叮铃铃”上课铃响了，我静静的坐在位子上等待老师上课，在我看来英语课有时有趣，有时却非常无聊，而今天这堂英语课让我改变了对它的看法，我相信这样有趣的课堂老师也一定发了不少心思来准备这堂课，在上课时老师突然给我们来了个对抗游戏，男生VS女生哪一方选手问题回答的多，那方就获胜。

比赛开始了，男生，女生都不甘示弱，勇于站起来回答问题，外面狂风大作，里面却是这番热闹的情景，一分钟过去了，二分钟过去了，三分钟过去了男生和女生之间出现了距离，眼看第一大题就要结束，我们男生非常着急，想挽回局面，正当我们要开始翻盘时，第一大题居然就这然结束了，不过还好，还有第二大题，谁赢谁输还不一定呢？第二大局开始了，经过一番调整的我们，又开始追逐了紧张又激烈的气氛依旧未停，男生们依然努力的追赶着分数，能追一分是一分，女生好像有点骄傲了，回答的人越来越少，我们分数渐渐多了起来，直到最后一题是我们只差女生两分了，当我们认为胜负已定时，老师突然说最后一题回答对加两分，这是我们脸上又有了笑容，因为班长把自己的手举得高高的，他是我们最后的一线希望了，你是男生唯一的靠山了，当老师在黑板上花了两个大星星后就意味着我们的努力没有白费，我们终于胜利了！

今天的这节有趣的英语课给我们打来了许多欢乐和笑声！

A visit to the zoo.I went to the zoo with my friends last Sunday. It was

hot and sunny that day. It took us about two hours to get there by bus. There

were thousands of people in the zoo. We saw lots of animals, such as, pandas,

kangaroos, polar bears, gifaffes, elephants, tigers, wolves, snakes and so on.

We also saw the elephant show. The elephants were so clever that they could do

lots of things like us. At noon we had a picnic in the zoo. And then we thew the

rubbish into the dustbin. We didn。

我记得曾经的我，是老师眼里的好学生，家长眼里的乖乖女，可我也忘了几何时，这一切，都变了。我不知道自己从什么时候学坏，我只记得后来的我，染发、打耳洞、抽烟、喝酒、打架，蹦迪、甚至是刺青，她以前不爱啤酒不爱烟的味道，后来她把酒当水喝，烟不离手，她以前涂着粉嫩的唇彩，后来她爱上了·烈焰红唇，她以前穿着校服就是纯真模样，后来她开始化妆，她以前受伤总在朋友面前委屈落泪，后来她说一切无所谓，不过是喝酒撒疯清晨早起重新开始。我结识了很多社会小混混。我一直天真的认为，这才是我的青春，我觉得青春玩儿的是张扬，年少轻狂，我不知道什么是投降，我的青春，好像就在我的不知中不知不觉流逝。这些年，我交了很多不再联系的朋友，花了很多不知去向的钱，做了许多费力不讨好的事，也看透了许多忘恩负义转身变脸的人，我的青春也随之流逝，如今我的圈子很小，小到只能容纳那么几个人，时间让我看清什么是真什么是假，对我好的我会珍惜，对我不好的我会远离，青春一去不复返，过去的都成了我伤心的回忆，不敢碰触的悲痛，现在，当我的青春已走到终点，我才发现，我错了，可是一切都晚了，安于现状又不甘心，想要挣脱，却又无力法抗生活。

Girls at a training course offered by the "Care for Girls" program in

Qingjian county, Shaanxi province, talked about their pursuit of dreams despite

living in unfavorable conditions.

Initiated by the National Health and Family Planning commission in 2013,

the program helps girls in underdeveloped regions to build their self-esteem and

self-confidence.

"I want to be a teacher teaching Chinese because I like Chinese and

writing," Xi said. "By teaching I can not only share knowledge with my students,

but also keep learning new things from new versions of textbooks."

She is living with her mother in a room that has no bathroom and costs 300

yuan ($48) a month to rent. Merit certificates she received from school are

displayed on the wall. Yan Lingling, Xis mother, said she is proud of her

daughter.

According to the family planning policy, couples in which both the husband

and wife have rural residential permits can have another child if their first is

a daughter. Yan said she isnt planning on adding to the family because she

wants to give her daughter the best she has.

"My husband is away most of the time, working in construction sites and

making no more than 30,000 yuan ($4,840) a year. I work as an hourly worker

sometimes. The rent of our apartment is expensive. One more child means one more

burden," Yan said.

Speaking about how she plans to achieve her dream of becoming a teacher, Xi

said: "I will not give up on my dream easily, though I know it may be difficult.

When something becomes difficult, it only makes me want to try harder."
