+ 加入清单When I was a primary school student, my family and I took a trip to five
cities which were in the south of China.
First, we came to Nanjing by plane. That was the first time I had taken the
plane and it took us an hour and a half to get there. We arrived in Nanjing in
the morning. At 11:30 we went to a restaurant to have lunch. The food tasted
delicious. In the afternoon we went to “Zhongshanling”. It was the place that
preserve the tomb of Mr. Sugshan.
The next day, we came to Wuxi and then Suzhou where we visited the region
of rivers and lakes of “周庄”. It was a beautiful and old place. The house there
were along the river and the women always washed clothes at the bank.The fourth
day, we came to Hangzhou where We visited “The West Lake. It was very beautiful
and the water was clear .
As we all know, Hangzhou is famous for silk and tea, so we bought some
beautiful silk and famous tea of “龙井”.The last place that we visited was
Shanghai. It was one of the biggest city is China. The night view in Shanghai
was more beautiful than Beijing. We visited the TV tower of “东方明珠”. It was the
third tallest tower in the world. Standing in the tower you could see the whole
city. In the evening, we lived in a hotel with 25 floors. I was very excited
that evening.
This trip took us seven days and we went back to Beijing by plane. The
plane was very very big. There were three engine rooms. I felt happy and I would
never forget the trip.
If I were to leave my home for a year, there is one thing I definitely
would take with me: my cell phone. With my cell phone, I could call my friends
or family if I ever was lonely, needed advice, or just wanted to talk.

篇1:关于茶的英语作文初中
全文共 1688 字
+ 加入清单"When a guest comes to my home from afar on a cold night, I light bamboo to
boil tea to offer him.”— Ancient Chinese poem.
China is the home country of tea. Before the Tang Dynasty, Chinese tea was
exported by land and sea, first to Japan and Korea, then to India and Central
Asia and, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, to the Arabian Peninsula. In the early
period of the 17th century, Chinese tea was exported to Europe, where the upper
class adopted the fashion of drinking tea. Chinese tea—like Chinese silk and
china—has become synonymous worldwide with refined culture. At the heart of the
culture of tea—the study and practice of tea in all its aspects—is the simple
gesture of offering a cup of tea to a guest that for Chinese people today is a
fundamental social custom, as it has been for centuries.
China traces the development of tea as an art form to Lu Yu, known as "the
Saint of Tea" in Chinese history, who lived during the Tang Dynasty and who
wrote The Book of Tea, the first ever treatise on tea and tea culture. The
spirit of tea permeates Chinese culture, and throughout the country there are
many kinds of teas, teahouses, tea legends, tea artifacts and tea customs.
Better-known places to enjoy a good cup of tea in China include Beijing noted
for its variety of teahouses; Fujian and Guangdong provinces and other places in
the southeast of China that serve gongfu tea, a formal serving of tea in tiny
cups; the West Lake in Hangzhou, also the home of the Tea Connoisseurs
Association, noted for its excellent green tea; and provinces in southwest China
like Yunnan where the ethnic groups less affected by foreign cultures retain tea
ceremonies and customs in original tea-growing areas.

篇4:关于网购英语高一
全文共 1336 字
+ 加入清单Since its rise, the Internet has been playing a more and more important
role in our daily life. It brings tremendous convenience and efficiency to our
lives. Online shopping is also a new rising thing brought by the Internet. Since
its increasing developing speed, some people think that online shopping will
replace traditional shopping. However, as far as I am concerned, it wont happen
in a short time.
Although online shopping is really very convenient, there are still some
strong points of traditional shopping which cannot be replaced by online
shopping. Firstly, online shopping lacks the intuitional impression of goods.
Sometimes the photos offered by the sellers are beautified with softwares, and
you will be disappointed to find the actual item is far from your expectation.
Secondly, returning goods in online shopping is quite troublesome, and sometimes
you only can achieve your goal at the cost of the payment of the postage by
yourself. Finally, there are too many fake products and cheats in online
shopping, and the quality of goods cannot be guaranteed as those in traditional
shops.
According to the points above, online shopping still needs some
improvements to totally replace the functions of traditional shopping. However,
the potential of online business is so huge that it will certainly take a great
share in the trade market.
篇5:2024初中英语教师个人工作计划
全文共 2868 字
+ 加入清单一、指导思想
目前初三的英语教学中,因种种因素,造就了相当一部分英语学习比较困难,并伴有的差生。因此对这部分学生加强心理指导,培养培养的心理素质,帮助他们尽快走出困境,成为学习的主人,就显得十分必要。学科教学是学校教育的主渠道、主阵地,学科学习是学生的主导活动,学生大量的心理困惑都产生于学习过程中,各种人格品质也在学科的学习中得到发展。英语作为语言学科,在教学中加强德育及心理方面渗透工作,坚持以人为本,坚持教育创新,坚持______,坚持内涵发展,以行为习惯养成教育为重点,以加强细节教育。
二、工作要点
对于向学生进行思想教育、品德教育、科学文化教育和心理素质教育,在本学期的教学中加强德育工作如下:
(一)有敬业精神,热爱学生。
要用自己的爱来唤起和培养学生对学习的爱,从而引伸到对生活的爱。其实,英语课堂教学不只是语言知识的学习和操练,而是一种温馨的情感交流、智慧潜能的开发,社会__交际能力的早期培养,是师生共同创造精神生活的活动。因此教师在教学中,要尊重学生的人格,建立平等、互相尊重的和谐师生关系,使学生在宽松、融洽、愉快的氛围中进行学习的同时,品德得到培养,性格得到完善。
(二)创新教育让学困生自主学习
传统的英语教学模式中,学生自使自终是被动者,即使是一些很有天赋的好学生。久而久之,也缺乏了创造力。不少学生的学习参与意识差,不愿主动思考和提出问题,更不主动解决问题。依赖于教师现成的说教答案,因此,教师必须更新教学观念,树立心的学生观和教学观。我认为,新的学生观最本质的内容就是在教学中真正能够树立合作教学的观念新的学生观念作根本的出发点就是尊重学生,在英语教学汇总充分发挥每个学生的主体作用,使他们真正成为学习的主人。
(三)渗透情感与学生建立良好的师生关系
情感具有迁移作用。亲其师,则信其道。学生对老师的情感能改善学生对所学学科的倾向性。只要师生建立起相互信赖的感情,学生对老师所提出的要求就容易接受。我们的教学活动能就比较顺利地开展。学困生并非自然固有。学困生渴求得到尊重与关心,信任与理解。教师只有用真诚的爱才能使他们感到温暖,消除自卑,树立信心,才能使他们自尊、自爱、奋发进取。我认为,对于学困生,只要我们真诚地给予关心和帮助,他们也会以爱和敬意来回报我们。他们是不会让老师失望的。
(四)赏识教育让学困生树立自信心
自尊心是一个人对自身的评价,对自身存在的价值和态度的体现。任何学生都有自尊心和荣誉感,每当自己在学习上取得点滴成绩时,总希望得到老师的表扬,学困生更是如此。差生由于羞怯心理,往往在课堂上不敢开口,因此,我对学困生从不大声呵斥,而是具体深入地分析他们之所以差的原因,然后对症下药,循循善诱,在加强辅导的同时,根据学生的发展情况进行有弹性的鼓励。实践证明:利用语言表扬、神情暗示、肢体示意等多种方法,给予学困生以的鼓励是行之有效的,能使他们对自己充满自信,树立学好英语的信心。
2022初中英语教师个人工作计划【篇六】 2022 junior high school English teacher personal work plan [Chapter 6]
一、指导思想
在本学期的英语教学中,坚持以下面的教学理念为指导:第一,切实地了解学生的真实水平,注意衔接,尽快使学生适应我的英语教学;第二,教学要面向全体学生,关注学生的情感,激发他们学习英语的兴趣;第三,以学生为主体,尊重个体差异,因材施教;第四,在新课标的指导下,倡导学生体验参与学习,完成设计目标;第五,注重过程性评价,建立能鼓励学生自主学习能力发展提高的综合评价体系。
二、学生情况分析
本届学生在英语基础方面很薄弱,由于在以前学习英语的过程中,没有很详细全面地学习音标,基本的音标和字母拼读都没有掌握好。在词汇,语法规则等方面存在很多缺漏。所以,在听、说、读、写这四项技能上,学生水平存在很大差异。
另外,学生在学习策略和情感态度方面也存在诸多需要进一步解决的问题。例如:许多学生不能明确学习英语的目的,学习缺乏主动性、自觉性;大多数同学没有养成良好的学习习惯,不能做好课前预习和课后复习工作,学习没有计划性和策略性,也不注意知识的积累和巩固。
最后,学生对新教材缺乏一定程度上的了解,还不适应新课改指导下的一些教学方法。在课堂上,习惯像以往被动地接受所传授的知识,不善于发现和总结语言规律,学习的主体性不突出。
三、教材与教辅的分析
1、内容与结构
每一单元除了关注阅读、写作、听力、视听说等语言实践活动,还关注语言知识、情感态度、文化意识和学习策略等。其中,教材加强了文化意识的提高和学生学习策略的培养,是相较于以前教材很大的不同。
2、教材的特点
首先突出学习者的发展,包括注重学习策略的培养和使用;注重提高学生的语言认知能力;为教师和学生提供个性化的选择;其次努力提高学生用英语进行思维和表达的能力。具体为:为学生提供更多的体验真实语言的机会;精心设计教学活动,使学生看到明确的目标和明确的成果;为学生发展语言运用能力提供详尽的语言支持;重视复现。
3、教材的重难点
该套教材强调学生综合语言运用能力的培养和提高,所以重点在于培养学生用英语获取信息、处理信息的能力;用英语分析问题、解决问题的能力;用英语进行思维和表达的能力。难点在于学生在情感态度和学习策略上的改变,达到用英语思维和表达的目标。
4、教学目标
⑴总体目标:激发学生学习英语的兴趣,树立自信心。在整个教学过程中,让学生有丰富的生活常识、多文化背景的积累,并形成正确人生观、价值观,有积极的情感态度和跨文化的交际能力。同时培养自主学习能力,积累学习方法。
⑵具体目标:结合学生基础知识过于薄弱的实际,在教学刚开始的阶段,注意高一和初中知识的衔接,例如复习音标和字母拼读规律,积累基础词汇、词语搭配、句型,熟悉不同单元呈现的语法规则,掌握实际用法。希望第一学期后,学生能培养学习的兴趣,养成较好的学习习惯,对基础知识有一定的掌握。
5、教学措施
⑴让学生每天积累几个单词,利用“互测及教师抽查”及时检查,保证效果并坚持下去。
⑵认真贯彻晨读制度:规定晨读内容,加强监督,保证晨读效果。
⑶实行过程性评价,调动学生积极性,通过不同方式的检测,让进步的同学体会到成就感,让落后的同学找出差距,感受压力。由此在班里形成浓厚的学习氛围,培养学生健康向上的人格和竞争意识。
⑷关注学生的情感,营造宽松、民主、和谐的教学氛围。
⑸在教学中根据目标并结合教学内容,创造性地设计贴近学生实际的教学活动,吸引和组织他们积极参与。学生通过思考、调查、讨论、交流和合作等方式,学习和使用英语,完成学习任务。
⑹经常进行教学反思,适时调整教学方法,符合学生的真实情况,利于学生的有效性学习。
从所任课班级实际情况和本身条件出发,认真进行思考和改正。多关注学科教研的发展,多多听课向有经验的老师虚心学习,取之所长,多和同事交流探讨,交换教学思想和方法,避己所短,不断进步。积极参与学科的相关课题研究,撰写论文,参加教研组,备课组的教研活动。

+ 加入清单China has the history of more than 5,000 years. Many foreign people are
attracted by this big old country. They come here and want to know about the
traditional culture. However, Chinese young people dont show much interest in
the old culture, instead they chase the fashion and some even abandon the
precious culture. For example, paper cutting, one of the excellent arts that is
inherited by our ancestors. Many foreign media speak highly of this great
handicraft and they are astonished by the wisdom of Chinese people. I have seen
this art when I stay in my hometown. Only few old people can do it. They just
take it for killing time. Paper cutting is like the old fashion and is forgotten
by the young generation. The media should report more positive information about
the traditional culture to inspire the young people to learn.

The way I see it, good health is much better than a lot of wealth. No
matter how much money we have, we’ll not feel happy at all if we are in poor
health. In order to be healthy, we must keep a positive attitude and have a good
living habit.
Apart from good health, we must be diligent at work. As long as we work
hard, we cannot just make a good living, but enrich our minds.
Additionally, we ought to give our helpful hands to others when they are in
need. While helping others, we can own a good fame as well as get more social
experience. Its really a good way to kill two birds with one stone. Only by
doing so can we enjoy the happiest life.

means of transport in Chinese cities. Compared with the bike and the car, the
motorcycle has its own advantages. First, it is quite flexible. When there is a
traffic jam, it can go through the cars that are held up in the street. Besides,
it doesnt consume much petrol. Most important of all, it can carry another
person at the back. But every coin has two sides. The negative aspects are also
apparent. To begin with, its very complicated to get qualified fur riding a
motorcycle. Youll have to go through a series of procedures to get a riding
license. Furthermore, the maintenance is expensive. Worst of all, it costs a big
sum of money to pay fur the license plate, especially in big cities.
In conclusion, it has both favorable and unfavorable aspects. However, if
the authorities concerned simplify the procedures and reduce the cost of the
license plate, the motorcycle will be accepted by more people.

Naturally, everyone can choose suitable music to listen to. However, when you

mood in a great extent.
When you feel sad, you can have a try to listen to soothing music. At
first, soothing music will let you calm down. You will find that you will play
much attention to the music, and then your sadness can be decreased. You will
enter music ocean. You can experience a baptism of your heart. It does not
matter that when you listen to soothing music and you want to cry, you should
just follow yourself feeling to have a thorough release. Music will give you
enough encourage to overcome difficulties.
Music also can double your happiness and arouse the fighting. For instance,
when you solve some very difficult situations and gain success eventually, you
will have a great mood. At this time, exciting music will witness your success.
You will feel satisfied. Music lets you remember the glorious moment and cherish
your success. Music can give you unlimited motivation to achieve goals,because
you still want to listen to glorious music.
In addition, music includes a lot of useful knowledge. People can learn
precious knowledge from music. Because there is different music, we can find out
that different nations have different music thoughts to express. And from music,
we can listen to music culture. Music culture will give you a deeper
understanding to learn foreign culture, such as foreign language, foreign
history and foreign traditional customs and so on. In a word, music has an
important effect on promoting society development.
Music indeed has a magical power to help people and society develop. I
believe that music will still continue to bring us many surprises. As the
development of society, great music will become more important.

篇20:以诚信为主题高一英语
全文共 1994 字
+ 加入清单My grandparents believed you were either honest or you werent. There was
no in between. They had a simple motto hanging on their living-room wall: "Life
is like a field of newly fallen snow; where I choose to walk every step will
show. "They didnt have to talk about it--they demonstratedthe motto by the way
they lived. They understood instinctively that integrity means having a personal
standard of morality and ethics that does not sell out to expediency and that is
not relative to the situation at hand. Integrity is an inner standard for
judging your behavior.Unfortunately, integrity is in short supply today--and
getting scarcer. But it is the real bottom line in every area of society.And it
is something we must demand of ourselves.
A good test for this value is to look at what I call the Integrity Trial,
which consists of three key principles: Stand firmly for your convictions in the
face of personal pressure.
When you know youre right, you cant back down. Always give others credit
that is rightfully theirs. Dont be afraid of those who might have a better idea
or who might even be smarter than you are. Be honest and open about who you
really are. People who lack genuine core values rely on external factors--their
looks or status---in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will
do everything they can to preserve this facade,but they will do very little to
develop their inner value and personal growth.
So be yourself. Dont engage in a personal cover-up of areas that are
unpleasing in your life. When its tough, do it tough. In other words, face
reality and be adult in your responses to lifes challenges.
Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity
and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.
Integrity means you do what you do because its right and not just
fashionable or politically correct. A life of principle, of not succumbing to
the seductive sirens of an easy morality,will always win the day. My
grandparents taught me that.
