In people’s life, they will face many difficulties, most people can conquer those hard times and keep moving on. Making mistake is the difficulty that everyone will have to face, no one is perfect, how to treat the mistake is very important.

Maybe, this is friendship, unexpectedly, of course, I was no exception.

Time reversal, back to the first true friendship that day.

"The bell bell bell..." As the bell rang, the students like the cage fly bird, "fly" to the outside of the classroom activities. Soon after, the laughter, the wind gone with the wind in my ears. Curious I walked out of the classroom, sat down next to the tree, watching a game of only two or three people, how I want to jump with them, dancing together, but timid I didnt do it after a week. When I plucked up the courage to join their games, they also dont hesitate to accept me. Immediately and how the wave in the game, is my best friend, also is I got my first friendship, and friendship is gradually in the interesting game...

Volunteering

The volunteering spirit has spread among the Chinese people in recent years, especially among young people.

Volunteering is of tremendous benefits to both those in need and society. Take the Wenchuan Earthquake as an example. Hundreds of thousands of volunteers play an active role in Wenchuan quake-hit areas. And they contribute daily necessaries, offer medical help and psychological help to the disaster relief work.

Besides, volunteering would be beneficial to the volunteers themselves~ Getting involved in volunteering, volunteers will be exposed to a new environment, and they can learn how to work well in a team, how to improve their interpersonal skills and organizational skills, all of which are critical for their professional growth.

As a college student, I sincerely hope that everyone would join the volunteering work. It is not only good to our society, but also a chance for us to grow and to learn.

参加江门市实验小学优质课观摩活动，期间我聆听了两位骨干教师精彩的课堂教学，收获很多。置身于课堂教学中，看到两位老师气定神闲、信手拈来，不仅让我连声赞叹，这样的功底岂能一日为之?课堂上老师们先进的教学风格、变化多端的教学形式，这些都给我留下了深刻的印象和启迪。赞叹之余，更多的是深深地沉思，从中让我更深刻地体会到了学习的重要性与紧迫感。下面谈谈自己的听课体会：

一、课堂形式的多样化

对于儿童来说，一本书是枯燥无味，教师需要采用不同的方式去刺激学生、培养学生的兴趣，激发学生的求知欲，引导学生热爱学习。针对这低年级的儿童的心理和身理特征，实验小学低年级开展绘本课程，通过讲故事，演故事形式进行。从3分钟《小鼹鼠找新家》，两个低年级学生声情并茂，动作大方，校本课程不但让学生在听故事中学到了知识，同时还培养了学生的表达能力、语言组织能力和自己动手的能力，也给学生锻炼口才的机会。

实验小学还选用经典诵读、你问我猜等多种形式来上好国学棵，保持学生的对国学好奇心和新鲜劲。再比如单单诵读这一项来说，实验小学也采用多种形式，像分小组读、男女读，诗句接龙读、问答式读……尽量做到课堂实现形式的多样化，不断的刺激学生，以达到我们国学课的要求。

二、快乐的课堂气氛

罗曼•罗兰曾经说过：“要播撒阳光到别人心里，先要自己心里有阳光。”任何人只有在轻松、愉悦的心情下学习才是丰富生动的，也只有在保持快乐心情的时候，学习才是有效的。在王林老师《临死前的严监生》一课中，我感受到学生们学习的快乐。

王林老师给予不同程度的学生都提供了展示的机会，学生们有的展示有感情朗读课文，有的说自己的想法，有的展示扩词，有的展示课文朗读，还有的交流自己的读书感受。因为人人都有机会，因此人人都为能够展示自己而激动万分，争先恐后地发言，学习兴趣非常浓厚。

三、教师深厚的知识素养，让人叹服

小学学生以具体形象思维为主，他们主要通过模仿来获取知识。小学学生心理、智力、知识等方面发展尚不成熟、独立性差，尚不能辨别知识的真伪。这一阶段的学生对教师有一种特殊的信任、崇拜，认为教师说的一切都是对的，甚至不相信父母的话以教师的话惟命是从。实验小学的王林老师以深厚的知识素养影响着学生，押韵的白话文朗朗上口，使学生产生“我们老师懂得可真多”的感想，从而激起他们向老师学习、向老师看齐的愿望，让我由衷地敬佩。学生洋洋洒洒的说上几句白话文，让我感叹，还让我忏愧。

我们每个人都有着不同的爱好，下面老师就为同学们带来一篇关于我的喜好的范文，供同学们写作参考。

meaningful life is to do something useful and make you feel happy.

一提起课堂，我们一般都会想到校园课堂。其实，自然界，四季中，处处都是课堂，处处都充满了玄妙。你要不信，且随我一起去看看吧。

1、春之希望

春天，万物复苏，百花争妍。一株株小草也如一个个顽皮的孩子，争先恐后向外探出了小脑袋，想一睹大千世界的亮丽美景。真得感谢各位草哥草弟们，若不是你们的出场，哪有唐兄“天街小雨润如酥，草色遥看近却无。”这样绝妙的诗句?瞧，在你们的感召下，那柳枝也有了些许绿意。相信不久，焕发新绿的柳枝定会在和风中迎风招展。蝶妹儿也附和着，翩翩起舞，蜂姐儿更是忙着采集花蜜，忙得不亦乐乎。“一年之计在于春”，春来了，希望就有了耶!

2、夏之繁华

夏天，树木茂盛，郁郁葱葱。瞧那池中的白荷，虽然还只是骨朵儿，却早已有多事的蜻蜓点缀其上。再次让人看到了“小荷才露尖尖角，早有蜻蜓立上头。”的现场版。夜幕降临，田间蛙声一片，合奏出一曲动人的交响乐。就在这优美的夜晚，我读到了夏日的繁华。

3、秋之坚毅。

秋风扫落叶!看吧，片片红叶在萧瑟的秋风中，依依不舍地离开了自己的家，又漫无目的地在天地间飞舞。可怜的树儿们，不分男女老幼，皆被吹光了衣服，接受秋风的洗礼。

然而，也还有坚强的斗士，在凛冽的秋风中，和寒秋做着决绝的斗争。看!那披着军装的松柏，俨然一队队卫士，笔直地立在山头。伟岸的身躯，向世间万物诠释：这就是坚毅!

4、冬之机遇

冬，寒冷的代名词。

放眼四野，白茫茫的一片。天是地，地是天，天地俱为一体。看到此景，你或许有些惆怅。只觉它一片混沌，毫无生气。

且慢，看那枝头，已然有了青春的萌动。惊喜之余，聪明的你，马上会飘出一句雪莱的经典“冬天来了，春天还会远吗?”

是啊，机遇来了，成功还会远吗……

俗话说，生活处处皆学问，学问之处为课堂。就让我们借助自己的慧眼，去大千世界，寻觅课堂中的玄妙吧。

——后 记

My ideal is what? The question in my mind think along while, ah, said everyone will laugh, to be honest I just want to be a security guard.

You dont look at my ideal is a even reach 14 product sand small officer, it is indispensable in peoples life a part, if you dont believe it, please listen to me explain.

Our village is famous for "thief", before I had a very good bike, because no lock, so we have to stop off at the village to garage. Results the second day wake up to the garage, my car did not even had a shadow. I think his mother at the beginning, then find out that it was stolen. At another time, we are not at home, the thief climb to our house and stole 500 multivariate money!

The thiefs madness has made residents cannot pass the day of peace, so I was determined, must defend well our community as they get older. I promise to you, only I, never easily let go of any a community of people, will never let a precious thing was stolen.

Although this post, but did not have the security, we would not be peaceful and harmonious home.

我的理想是什么呢?这个问题在我的脑海里想了半天，哎，说出来大家肯定会哈哈大笑，说实在我只想当个保安。

你别看我的理想只是个连14品都达不到的沙粒小官，它在人民的生活中可是不可缺少的一份子，你若不信，请听我娓娓道来。

我们小区以“小偷多”出名，以前我有一辆非常好的自行车，因为没上锁，只好停在小区地下车库里。结果第二天醒来到车库一看，我的车连个影子都没了。我一开始以为老妈骑去了，后来一打听，原来是被偷了。还有一次，我们不在家，那小偷竟然爬到我们家，偷走了500多元钱!

小偷的疯狂已使居民不能过安宁的日子，于是我下定决心，长大以后一定要保卫好我们的社区。我向大家许诺，只有我在，决不会轻易放过任何一个破坏社区的人，决不会再让一件宝贵的东西被偷走。

虽然这个岗位微不足道，但没有了保安，我们的家园就不会安宁和谐。

Making a choice is difficult, because people often want to have all the

things he choose, but maybe he cant own them at the same time. There is a

saying that you cant have the best of both worlds. When you are to make a

choice, the first thing you need to consider is what are you really want or

need. If you figure it out, your choice may become simpler. However, the reality

is that many people do not really know what they want or what they need.

Besides, they always think that they may can have both in the same time. Because

of various reasons, making a choice is difficult.

In recent years, people are developing aninseparable relationship with Internet. As is known toall, it is convenient for us to click the mouse whensurfing on line, either to entertain ourselves or to meet the works needs.

On the one hand, no one denies that Internet is currently one of the most useful media inour daily life. As a college student, I get on line every day to exchange information through e-mails with my net friends. But on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are toomuch addicted to Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle.

Thus, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way and restrain fromoverindulgence. After all，Internet is invented to enrich our life, and to improve the efficiencyof our work rather than shackle us with a chain.
