篇1:关于科技的英语

全文共 987 字

+ 加入清单

In the modern time, the growth of technology is increasingly developed.

More and more people don’t use their brains when there is no need to use other

instruments. Too much people use technology so that people are lazier and less

healthy than before. They rely on technology too much.

Some believe that modern technology shorten the distance of human. For

instance, people all use cellphone to call friends or family, or computer to

search information, or use QQ, MSN, twitter, blog etc. These modern instruments

shorten the distance between human.

However, others think that it’s just the reverse. Technology makes people

use less face-to-face communication. The contact in real life is less and less.

People do less interaction to each other. In the long term, people will get

depressed without enough communication.

As far as I’m concerned, modern technology provides convenience to people.

It makes people easily to get information. Only could we use it correctly, it

does much contribution to us.

篇3:怎样写好规范的英语教案

全文共 1806 字

+ 加入清单

作为一名英语教师,备课是上好课的前提。开始备课时,教师得考虑一系列的问题:如何计划一个课时?如何遵循教学大纲所规定的课程标准?怎样才能成为一名优秀的课堂教学组织者?怎样最充分地利用课本和各种教学手段?怎样的教案才算是“规范”的?下面谈谈如何写好规范的教案:

一、教案的格式

教案的格式可以多种多样。但好的教案一般至少应包括

以下内容:

1、教学目标:即一堂课最主要的总目标。

2、教学目的:即一堂课中要求学生掌握的详细目标。细列这些条目,可以帮助教师明确本堂课的教学目标;有机地安排各个教学环节,预先判断目标是否适度,在课堂结束时或课后评估学生的学业成就。要罗列教学目标,明确写清要求学生做到的是什么,不能太含糊。这里要注意其可行性。清晰的教学目标有利于课后重新审视并评估学生对教学目

标的掌握程度。

3、重点和难点:一堂课中要求学生掌握的重点和难点

列出来,以便于设计合理的教学步骤。

4、教材和教具:列出教材和教具看似小事,但设计好使用策略就意味着教师明确了上课要带什么以及课堂各个环节如何安排。常常有教师去上课忘记带录音机、投影片、挂图、卡片、课堂作业或学生作业本之类的东西。写上要带什么、如何应用会有帮助。

5、教学步骤:这也没有统一格式。不同课型的课堂教学步骤自然不同。即使相同的课型,教材、学生、教学条件不一样,教学步骤也就不一样。这一部分可包括:

(1)开场白或开场活动、游戏,作为“热身”(warming-up)。

(2)一系列的活动及教学设计。应预先给全班活动、小组活动、两两活动、教师和学生的说话时间等各个环节分配好时间。

(3)结束语。

6、板书设计:将最重要的单词或词组或知识点,列出来,使得学生明确一节课的重点,课前设计好,就不会出现漏写或者板书杂乱无章的现象。

7、课外作业:要精心设计,符合学生的实际能力。

8、课后小结:小结一堂课的得失,分析教与学的实际情况,以便于及时作出调整。

二、写教案时要考虑的问题

1、如何开始备课

在教师着手备课之前,必须吃透课程标准(大纲)及教材,在此基础上,考虑学生的认知规律和实际的语言能力,以确定课题和教学目的,明确教学目标。从教学目标出发,确定重点和难点,考虑用哪些教学法来组织课堂。然后精心挑选、设计练习,确定要做、改、删、增的练习,列授课计划提纲,再逐步仔细预测各种教学技巧和教学手段的应用,特别是涉及可能修改计划、增删内容的教学步骤。

2. 思考几个问题

(1)教学技巧上,是否有足够的变化可以使课堂教学生动有趣?成功的外语课上总有不同的活动,使学生思维活跃,情绪高涨。

(2)不同教学技巧的应用和教学的组织有没有得到有序的、合乎逻辑的安排?理想化的课堂教学须朝着教学目标由易及难、循序渐进。建立在新知识之上的教学活动必须精心安排。

(3)整堂课的节奏设计得好吗?节奏的含义,可以有以下三个方面:第一,活动不能太短,也不能太长。如果课堂活动多而短,那么学生刚刚找到某活动的“感觉”,又得“跳到”下一个活动去了。这样不好。第二,教师应考虑如何把各种教学技巧、教学手段和教学组织形式揉合在一起。例如,一堂课上连续搞全班俩俩全班小组俩俩全班??的活动,每个活动五分钟,那么,这些活动是难以发挥其应有作用的。第三,控制好节奏也有利于各个教学活动之间的衔接。例如:

(4)整节课的时间有没有安排好?这是备课最难控制的因素之一。新教师往往容易提早授完所备内容,而后又易矫枉过正,不能完成课时计划。这里有两点值得提醒。预先准备一些“备用”的复习活动。如果提早授完已准备的内容,则进行复习巩固练习。

3. 学生的个体差异

随着教学过程的重心由教师向学生转变,学生的主体作用日益突出。课堂教学必须充分考虑学生的个体差异。我们主张,备课一般应以中等程度的学生为准,但也应适当照顾两头的学生。可以考虑以下五个方面:(1)教学内容适当包含一些较难或较易的项目,(2)针对不同水平的学生问不同难度的问题,(3)设计的教学活动尽可能让全体同学都参与。

4. 学生谈话与教师谈话

备课时要充分考虑教师与学生的谈话时间。一般的英语课上,总是教师说得多, 学生说得少。要注意让学生有较多的机会进行交际。

总之,课堂教学是实施素质教学的主渠道。随着素质教育的不断深入,向课内时间要质量的呼声越来越高。而要提高课堂教学的效益,备课是关键。充分考虑影响课堂教学的各种因素,使之成为教师备课的必须考虑的内容,对备好课必将起到重要的影响。

篇4:关于代沟英语作文高中

全文共 999 字

+ 加入清单

Generation gap refers to the misunderstanding between the old and young.

The term came into fashion after the 1980s. However, in recent years, the

phenomenon is getting more and more fierce.

How does generation gap come into being? The first reason is that the two

generations have grown up in different ages, thus they have different attitudes

toward life. Secondly, due to having little in common with each other, they are

unwilling to sit down and talk face to face. Besides, as modern life is so

stressful, both of them are so busy with their study or work that they have not

enough time to exchange their ideas.

To bridge the generation gap is not easy at all, but we can do something to

shorten it. For one thing, children should respect their parents as well as

accept their good advice. For another, parents should not only show their love

and care to the kids, but also support their good life view. As long as the old

and young can understand each other, it would be more harmonious in family and

world.

篇6:中华优秀传统文化论文1000字

龙,一个多么神奇和有魔力的名字。龙为何物?早在《说文解字》中就有:“龙,鳞虫之长,能幽能明,能细能巨,能短能长,春分而登天,秋分而潜渊。”

龙图腾是华夏文明的象征,它的形象在几千年的文化沉淀中逐渐丰满起来。人们普遍认为龙“角似鹿、腹似蛇、鳞似鱼、足似凤、须似人、耳似象。”而龙图腾形成的原因,一种说法源自黄帝的釜山合符。《史记·五帝本纪》记载:黄帝在打败炎帝、蚩尤后,巡阅四方,“合符釜山”。这次“合符”不仅统一了各部军令的符信,确立了政治上的结盟,还从原来各部落的图腾上各取部分元素组合起来,创造了新的动物形象——龙。从此中原大地上就有了共同的龙图腾,因而中国人称自己为“龙的传人”。

我国的龙文化源远流长。从内蒙古赤峰市红山文化遗址出土的“C”形青玉龙,具有“中华第一龙”的美誉;辽宁阜新的兴隆洼文化查海遗址出土的红石堆塑龙,证明了中国龙文化至少已有八千年的历史;安徽凌家滩白玉龙、浙江余杭瑶山白玉龙……它们造型独特、形势优美,无不展现着龙图腾对我国上古时期文化的深刻影响。

随着朝代的建立和更替,龙又与帝王崇拜结合在一起,经久不衰。皇帝自称是“真龙天子”,借龙树立威信,以此获得百姓的爱戴与支持。天子更是身着“龙袍”,代表着至高无上的权力中心。龙也象征着皇权,逐渐活跃于宫廷建筑中,坐龙、二龙戏珠、龙生九子图等,连建筑大门门环的基座上,都有着龙的身影。龙的形象无处不在。作为中国礼制的核心用来划分等级制度的龙形纹,在北京紫禁城的装饰雕刻中也有很多表现形式,如观龙池、宁寿宫前的琉璃龙纹影壁,无论是木质镂空还是浮雕,都彰显着这座古代建筑群的庄严与大气。

龙不仅是皇权的象征,它还与百姓的生活息息相关。文化生活中的节日习俗譬如端午节的划龙舟、春节的舞龙以及剪纸上各种龙的形象层出不穷;而文化习俗,“鱼跃龙门”、“龙翔风跃”、“龙翔风翥”、“飞龙在天”等成语同样寄托着人们美好祝愿;在民间传说、文学作品中,龙被奉为神兽,能乘云驾雾,兴云布雨……闻粽香四溢,听鼓乐震天,品文化精髓,“龙”不再仅仅是高高在上权力的象征,它不再专属于统治者,它走进了人们的日常生活,走进了千家万户。

经过岁月的沉淀,作为华夏文明的图腾,龙象征着中华民族自强不息的精神,象征着敢于创新、锐意进取、乐于包容,它是黄帝、炎帝一统华夏的威严;它是尧舜心怀天下苍生的仁善;它是秦始皇一扫六合、挥剑决云的气势。它是李白斗酒诗三百、东坡“老夫聊发少年狂”的豪气,它又是“八百里分麾下炙,五十弦翻塞外声”的英雄气概。它是虎门销烟的烈火,是武昌起义第一声枪声,是南湖荡漾的红船,是天安门前升起的五星红旗,是华夏子孙念念不忘的初心。

朋友,让正处于二十一世纪的我们走近中国龙图腾,走进它的精神内涵,勇于攀登,为国家、为时代,谱写出一曲激昂向上的生命之歌!

But different people have different views on this point. After all, every coin

the Internet has become a must. As convenient as it is, people depend on online

shopping as it caters for those who are busy with work or other things. And it

can help us save much money, which is cheaper than what we buy in the physical

store. What’s more, it contributes the Internet to the further development.

However, it is also a risk of online shopping as we pay the bill online by

our credit cards, we may be cheated by the dishonest shoppers. Sometimes the

quality of what we buy online is much worse than we could imagine.

In my opinion, when we are shopping online, we should keep wise to prevent

Before Chinese students go to college, they have been told about the great

When they come to university, they begin to slow down their pace to study and

waste their youth.

Nowadays, a lot of college students lose motivation to move on when they

come to the new chapter of their life. Campus life seems to be relaxed and a

place to free themselves. Without the supervision from parents and teachers,

they choose to lose themselves in the computer games or all kinds of

parties.

So someone made the comment on campus life as the nursing house, which

satirized the students who wasted their precious time and youth to accomplish

nothing. It is the important stage for them to learn professional knowledge and

master skills, so as to be competitive and find their own place in the

world.

For a wise student, they make the plans and improve themselves all the

time. If we live the life as the old people in the nursing house, then it is

Cellular phones have had a major impact on our lives and the way that we

perform every day tasks. Many of these changes are apparent, while others we may

not even be aware of.

Cell phones have brought a whole new meaning to the term multitasking.

Twenty years ago, it was not possible to talk to the office while you were at

the grocery store picking up some necessary items. You could never have had a

three-way business conference while you were fixing dinner or been able to deal

with a business client from home while caring for a sick child. Cell phones have

enabled us to do various tasks all at the same time.

Cell phones have also enabled families to keep in closer touch with each

other. Children can contact you if they have missed their ride form soccer

practice and your spouse can call while he is stuck in traffic to let you know

that he is going to be late for supper. Teenagers are able to call to ask

permission to go somewhere, and with GPS features that are now available on some

cell phones, you are able to check to make sure that they are where they are

suppose to be.

Many of these advantages we do not even notice. Have you ever arrived at

the grocery store and realized that you have forgotten your grocery list? The

first thing you would probably do is to call home and have one of your children

read the list off to you. In the same situation in past years, you may have

forgotten things or have had to drive all the way back home to get it. If your

car breaks down, you automatically call for help instead of having to walk to

find a pay phone. Cell phones have certainly made our lives much more

convenient.

Cell phones have also changed the way that people interact with each other.

When we call someone, we are actually calling the person and not a place. This

enables us to be more spontaneous when making plans as you rarely get a busy

signal and unlike a land line telephone, someone is always home. Cell phones

also enable us to call if we are going to be late for an appointment, although

this has led to cell phone users running late more often than those who do not

have cell phones. These users seem to have adopted the attitude that appointment

times are not concrete and use their cell phones to renegotiate their arrival

time.

One of the greatest disadvantages of the cellular phone is the fact that we

do not talk to strangers when traveling anymore. In the past, several people

waiting for a bus would engage in a conversation while they were waiting. People

who traveled the same routes every day might develop friendships along the way.

This situation does not happen anymore. Today when people are waiting for a bus,

they just pull out their cell phones and speak with old friends, missing out on

the opportunity to make new ones. In large cities, many people do not know their

neighbors, even though they may have lived in the same neighborhood for years.

As a society, we are beginning to lose the face-to-face contact that was such an

important part of our lives in the past.

Cell phones are a great asset in aiding in our every day lives. You should

remember, however, to hang up every once in a while and pay attention to the

world around you.
