正直诚恳是我做人的原则。我的性格稳重,平时喜欢和他人沟通,善于与人相处,结交了很多知心的朋友,并且具有良好的团结合作精神。爱好广泛使我非常充实,众多的朋友使我倍感富有。

踏实认真是我做事的态度。两年的工作经验使我得到了多方面不同程度的锻炼和考验,使我深刻地体会到天道酬勤和脚踏实地的意义。极强的事业心和责任感使我能够面对任何困难和挑战。无论做任何事,我都会充分享受做事过程中的快乐,但又不轻视每件事带给自己的收获。作为有一定工作经验的年轻人,我正视到自己还有很多不足,应尽量放低自己的位置,更多地尊重周围的人,充分预料将会遇到的困难,用一颗敬畏、谨慎的心看待人和事,用平和的心态去处理要做的事。

尊敬的各位考官、各位评委老师: 通过考试,今天,我以本岗位笔试第*的成绩进入了面试。对我来说,这次工作机会显得尤为珍贵。

我叫YJBYS,今年x岁。****年7月我从**学院**系毕业。由于**原因,使我与太阳底下最光辉的职业失之交臂。幸好,当时***(原因),经人介绍,我在***单位有了**的工作经历。回想起那段时光真是既甜蜜又美好,虽然工资很低,但听着别人对我工作的赞美,看着那一双双充满信任的眼睛,我心里充满报幸福与甜蜜。我原想,即使不能转正,只要单位需要,就是当一辈子临时工我也心甘情愿。

今天,我想通过此次考试重新走上工作岗位的愿望是那样迫切!我家共有三姊妹,两个姐姐在外打工,为了照顾已上了年纪的父母,我一直留在他们身边。我曾开过铺子,先是经营工艺品,后又经营服装。但不论生意做得如何得心应手,当一名银行职员终是我心向往之并愿倾尽毕生心血去追求的事业。我曾多次参加考试,但都由于各种原因而未能实现梦想,但我暗下决心,只要有机会,我就一直考下去,直到理想实现为止。如今的我,历经生活的考验,比起我的竞争对手在年龄上我已不再有优势,但是我比他们更多了一份对工作的责任心、耐心和对单位的诚心,更多了一份成熟和自信。银行职员这个职业是神圣而伟大的,他要求我不仅要有丰富的专业知识,还要有高尚的情操。因此,在书时,我就十分注重自身的全面发展,广泛地培养自己的兴趣爱好,并学有专长,做到有专业和专长(历数自己的专长),还能会唱、会说、会讲。在注重知识学习的同时我还注意培养自己高尚的道德情操,自觉遵纪守法,遵守社会公德和职业道德,没有不良嗜好和行为。我想这些都是一名金融工作者应该具备的最起码的素养。

假如,我通过了面试,成为众多银行职员队伍中的成员,我将不断努力学习,努力工作,为家乡的教育事业贡献自己的力量,决不辜负银行工作者这一职业。

我叫XXX,今年24岁,是**本地人,明年7月份研究生毕业,本科和研究生都在西北政法大学就读,本科的时候学的是民商法专业,研究生读的是法理专业。

在学校期间,除了专业学习之外,会参加各种学校活动,加入过学生会,本科的时候担任文艺部的部长,组织过多场学校的文艺晚会,在研究生期间又担任研究生会主席,并兼任我们学院内部刊物《**法律评论》的主编。在每年的暑假我还会去法院或检察院实习。

我属于热情开朗,具有亲和力,平易近人的类型,而在这几年的学生会工作当中,又提高了自己的办事和处事能力,锻炼我吃苦耐劳的精神,也增加了自己的生活阅历,我记得在本科时候我们学生会自己筹钱去拍一部DV电影,在优酷上还可以看到,在拍摄过程中,会遇到各种困难,如场地或设备,但是我和我们学生会的同学都能一一解决,这个过程养成了了我的良好的团队合作精神和积极的学习进取精神。

另外一方面我认为在工作当中,责任两个字一直很重要的,不管是多小的事,只要是自己答应的或是本职的事,我都会尽自己最大的努力做好,不会说干到一半因为一些困难就放到那不管。

这次我之所以应聘银行,首先是因为我喜欢这个职业,另外一方面我认为银行是一个窗口行业,会遇到很多不同的客户,这会拓展我的交流面,特别能锻炼我的与人沟通的能力,同时也可以让我学到更多的知识与技能,虽然我的专业是法律,但是我会很用心的去学习银行方面的知识,并且将法律知识与银行方面的知识结合起来,相信他能让我充分发挥自己的优势与价值,我相信我有能力和信心做好这份工作,同时也非常感谢中信银行给我这样一次展现自己的机会!

各位面试官:

你们好,我是来自XXXX商业银行X班的应届毕业生XX。首先感谢广发银行给我这样一个展示自我的机会。 对于我的情况简历上都介绍得比较详细了在这理我想谈一谈我对这次贵行招聘的认识。

在金融学院这4年的学习生活让我满载而归,4年里我系统的学习了有关金融方面的专业知识,例如金融学,商业银行,中央银行理论与实务等。我认为随着国民经济的增长,银行已经不仅仅在承办存储款等业务,更多的是承担一种信用中介,银行已逐渐发展为老百姓生活中必不可取的金融机构。

能够到银行就业更是我们金融专业毕业生的首选。而我们学校在毕业生就业这方面也为我们量身打造了一个系统的就业体系,如对点钞、票币百张、五笔打字等专业技能进行了一定的培训与考核。另外学校也安排我们参加各种社会实践,尤其是在工行的实习,让我熟悉了银行的工作环境,了解了银行大堂的基本工作流程和业务操作,大堂是银行不可或缺的岗位,它是银行的门面,是银行业务的讲解员,也是银行与老百姓沟通的桥梁。在这个岗位上不仅仅是体现我对专业知识的掌握程度,更重要的是它能培养我的耐心,意识,应变能力,端正我的工作态度,所以我很看重这次贵行招聘的机会。如果我能成功,我一定会努力成为企业认可,客户满意的优秀员工。

篇19:中元节的英文介绍

全文共 5059 字

The Ghost Festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival and holiday celebrated by Chinese in many countries. In the Chinese calendar (a lunisolar calendar), the Ghost Festival is on the 15th night of the seventh lunar month (14th in southern China).

In Chinese tradition, the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar is called Ghost Day and the seventh month in general is regarded as the Ghost Month (鬼月), in which ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm. Distinct from both the Qingming Festival (in Spring) and Chung Yeung Festival (in Autumn) in which living descendants pay homage to their deceased ancestors, on Ghost Day, the deceased are believed to visit the living.

On the fifteenth day the realms of Heaven and Hell and the realm of the living are open and both Taoists and Buddhists would perform rituals to transmute and absolve the sufferings of the deceased. Intrinsic to the Ghost Month is ancestor worship, where traditionally the filial piety of descendants extends to their ancestors even after their deaths. Activities during the month would include preparing ritualistic food offerings, burning incense, and burning joss paper, a papier-mâché form of material items such as clothes, gold and other fine goods for the visiting spirits of the ancestors. Elaborate meals (often vegetarian meals) would be served with empty seats for each of the deceased in the family treating the deceased as if they are still living. Ancestor worship is what distinguishes Qingming Festival from Ghost Festival because the latter includes paying respects to all deceased, including the same and younger generations, while the former only includes older generations. Other festivities may include, buying and releasing miniature paper boats and lanterns on water, which signifies giving directions to the lost ghosts and spirits of the ancestors and other deities.

The Ghost Festival is celebrated during the seventh month of the Chinese calendar. It also falls at the same time as a full moon, the new season, the fall harvest, the peak of Buddhist monastic asceticism, the rebirth of ancestors, and the assembly of the local community. During this month, the gates of hell are opened up and ghosts are free to roam the earth where they seek food and entertainment. These ghosts are believed to be ancestors of those who forgot to pay tribute to them after they died, or those who were never given a proper ritual send-off. They have long needle-thin necks because they have not been fed by their family, or as a punishment so that they are unable to swallow. Family members offer prayers to their deceased relatives, offer food and drink and burn hell bank notes and other forms of joss paper. Joss paper items are believed to have value in the afterlife,considered to be very similar in some aspects to the material world, People burn paper houses, cars, servants and televisions to please the ghosts. Families also pay tribute to other unknown wandering ghosts so that these homeless souls do not intrude on their lives and bring misfortune. A large feast is held for the ghosts on the fourteenth day of the seventh month, when people brings samples of food and places them on an offering table to please the ghosts and ward off bad luck.

In some East Asian countries today, live performances are held and everyone is invited to attend. The first row of seats are always empty as this is where the ghosts sit. The shows are always put on at night and at high volumes as the sound is believed to attract and please the ghosts. Some shows include Chinese opera, dramas, and in some areas, even burlesque shows. These acts are better known as "Merry-making".

For rituals, Buddhists and Taoists hold ceremonies to relieve ghosts from suffering, many of them holding ceremonies in the afternoon or at night (as it is believed that the ghosts are released from hell when the sun sets). Altars are built for the deceased and priests and monks alike perform rituals for the benefit of ghosts. Monks and priests often throw rice or other small foods into the air in all directions to distribute them to the ghosts.

During the evening, incense is burnt in front of the doors households. Incense stands for prosperity in Chinese culture, so families believe that there is more prosperity in burning more incense.[4]During the festival, some shops are closed as they want to leave the streets open for the ghosts. In the middle of each street stands an altar of incense with fresh fruit and sacrifices displayed on it.

Fourteen days after the festival, to make sure all the hungry ghosts find their way back to hell, people flow water lanterns and set them outside their houses (a practice that can be found amongst the Japanese during Obon). These lanterns are made by setting a lotus flower-shaped lantern on a paper boat. The lanterns are used to direct the ghosts back to the underworld, and when they go out, it symbolizes that they have found their way back.
