我们同时学习了猫cat和帽子cap两个单词,仅一个字母之差,许多孩子都将它们混淆,怎么办呢?

找出它们的不同,与实物联系形象记忆。这是我的思路,思路有了,想法随之就出来了。这个帽子最后一个字母“p”把它横过来看,半圆恰似帽子的帽顶,那一竖可以当成帽檐,猫的最后一个字母“t”一横看作猫的胡子,竖弯看作猫的尾巴,这样一来,果然孩子们不再将它们混淆。

我还经常启发孩子开动脑筋,一起想。在我的鼓励下,孩子果然有创意。当区分礼帽hat和猫cat时,有个同学就说将礼帽的第一个字母“h”看作帽顶,而把猫的第一个字母“c”看作是猫的尾巴。再如学习眼睛eye和耳朵ear时,我告诉孩子们这两个单词有一样多的字母,第一个字母都一样,原来有很多同学都分不清,你有什么办法区分它们俩?孩子们一起动脑思考,有一个孩子的想法就非常好,她说:将眼睛的两个“e”看作眼睛,中间的“y”看作鼻子,就记住了眼睛,另一个就是耳朵。

看孩子们比我们更有想象力,一定要努力为孩子创造想象的源泉和空间。这是我义不容辞的责任。

篇1:巧记单词作文500字

全文共 520 字

+ 加入清单

爱因斯坦总结自己获得伟大成功的公式是A=X+Y+Z,翻译过来就是成功=艰苦劳动+正确方法+少说废话。而正确方法也是非常重要的。

“A.B.C.D·······”这26个字母。就可以拼成各种各样的单词,会说、会写单词也是有方法的。

我可以来试验一下,你可以根据拼音来记单词,也如:duck的中文翻译是鸭子,你可以根据dack来记,把a变u,再加一个c,去掉e。就成了duck了。但是你左思右想,就会说“虽然可以记单词的写法,但有一些麻烦,而且也记不了单词的读法,所以这种方法是不行的。”

你可以试一下第二种方法,这是我听同学说的,你可以根据汉语来记。比如yes,你可以记成爷死,nice,你可以记成奶死,bus,你可以记成爸死······但是,你想都可以不想,这种方法不行,英语老师也不赞同这种方法的,本来英语是一门很有趣味的课程,而你却把英语说得这么残忍。而且只能记读音,不能记单词的写法,不太实用。

第三种方法,可以按照音标来记,这是一种传统的方法。Duck,你就把u记成【A】,CK记成【k】就会读也会写了,bus也是一样的u记【V】,就会了。你看了以后,就会激动地说;“这种方法真好!”特别实用。

记单词时,有很多方法,但你还要选出最好的方法。

复习教材的范围是4~6年级的6册书,其中较偏向于5年级、6年级的课本。这些教材每个单元的知识点都要仔细梳理、回忆,做到心中有数。

作为基础,小学阶段的单词、词汇很重要,学生必须熟练掌握重点单词、词汇的拼读、记忆。5年级、6年级的“四会单词”(要求会读、会听、会说、会写的单词)一定要过关,在复习时要注意记忆单词的方法,一般学过的单词回头再次记忆并不难。可以将单词有意识地分类记忆,如颜色、食物、生活用品等,也可以尝试同学之间进行“单词大比拼”,看看谁记得比较多等,这样可以降低背诵的难度,同时增加记忆的趣味性,中小学英语《小升初英语复习阅读与写作同时抓》。

中央台最近新添了一则公益广告“FAMILY”,看着荧屏上的画面和解说词,我感动得只想哭。

小时候,从蹒跚学步到伊呀学语,家是最温暖的怀抱,顽童时,和小伙伴间斗了气,最自然的一句语就是:不和你玩了,我回家去!家是我们最幸福的港湾。父亲用伟岸的脊梁顶起了家的天,母亲用温柔的臂铺开了家的地,爷爷、奶奶用勤劳的手编织了家的梦。家是“人之初”的起航点,再怎么难,也不会舍弃家,再怎么苦,也会恋着家。家在每个人心中重若泰山,要不然每年春节就不会有如此壮观的大迁徒!家是我们一生中无法解开的结,所以,春节才如此真实地演释了“有钱没钱回家过年”的宏伟场面。

有什么气可以在家发,有什么恼可以在家诉,困难了,大家手挽手,奋斗时,大家心连心,高兴了,大家一起乐,悲伤时,大家一起哭。家里盛满了爱的希望,家里也承载了我们的社会责任。长大了的儿女应该为父母来遮风挡雨,也应该以“反哺之义”来报答养育之恩。儿女是父母一生的牵挂,父母也应是儿女心底的思念。

家用不着华丽的包装,家中的亲情最为朴实美丽。只要有家,我们就会步履坚实,也因为有家,生活才浸透了温暖。“FAMILY”的动人之处是揭示了家的内涵,那就是亲情、互助和友爱。记着啊,不管漂向何方,那怕千山万水,也要常回家看看,因为,那是我们生存的源泉。

however mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.it is not so bad as you are.it looks poorest when you are richest.the fault-finder will find faults in paradise.love your life,poor as it is.you may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.the setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich mans abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.i do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.

the towns poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.may be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.

cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,turn the old,return to them.things do not change;we change.sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

I have a bigFAMILY. There are six people in my family. They are my grandparents, my parents, my sister and I. Though my grandparents and my parents are in different generation, they respect each others lifestyle, so I barely see them have conflicts. I feel so lucky to live in a harmonious environment. Today, the TV shows always present the negative relationship between different generations, but it is not happening in my family. I learn to respect each other. My parents set the good example for me. So sometimes when my sister and I have argument, I wont shout at her. When we calm down, we can talk to each other peacefully. I love my family.

当我一觉醒来,本以为今天可以呼吸一下清晨充满阳光的空气,妈妈却要求我默写英语课上所学的单词。这个消息好似一把扫帚,将我之前的快乐情绪像垃圾一般扫出了我的心房。

我闷不乐地打开英语书,那些单词仿佛长得没有尽头,而且还在嘲笑我。你瞧,“eye”像一个嬉皮笑脸的讨厌鬼,“visit”像一个挤眉弄眼的调皮蛋,“let”则像一个正朝我傻笑的小孩儿。

这时,外面开始下雨了,那雨滴足有鸡蛋那么大,当它们登陆在我房间的玻璃上时,就好似一个巨人正在敲鼓,“咚咚咚”地一直在响,震耳欲聋,让人心烦意乱!

终于,到我默写完厚厚的英语书中的最后一个单词时,仿佛一个刚好完马拉松比赛的运动员,累得气喘吁吁、无精打采。不过,一想到可以出去玩了,我身上所有的疲劳和怨气顿时被抛在了九霄云外!这时候,窗外雨的声音也不再像是令人烦躁的敲鼓声了,瞬间变成了钟表的“滴答滴答”声,很小,很美,很动听。

篇17:熟练记住单词

全文共 1311 字

( 1.) 巩固单词拼写,培养组句能力。 词汇匮乏是妨碍英语写作的最大障碍之一,有话想说,无词可写是大部分学生的苦恼。因此,我要求学生坚持每天听写、默写、循环记忆单词,掌握巩固词汇。还要求学生给出与单词有关的同义、近义、反义和词形相似的词,使词汇量得到最大限度的复现。如:反义词appear/disappear, crowded/uncrowded, polite/impolite/rude. 词形相似的的词except/expect, chance/change/challenge. 还以某一词为中心,写出该词的不同形式或词性,组成典型的句型,从而不断丰富词汇和句型。如拼写单词die 时,不但要写出其过去式过去分词died,而且要写出其他词性(death, dead, dying), 再分别组句,如:The old man died two years ago. He has been dead for two years. His death made his dog very sad. It is dying.又如写到易混淆的词pay, spend, cost, take 时,可以多种方式表达句意。He paid 20 yuan for the book. He spent 20 yuan on the book. He spent 20 yuan buying the book. The book cost him 20 yuan. It takes him 20 minutes to read the book every day.等等。这样,通过大量的词汇练习不仅仅能有效地积累词汇,还为组句打下了基础,同时还能训练学生的发散性思维和总结、归纳、比较的能力,为学生正确使用词句奠定了良好的基础。以上这些机械操练虽然枯燥,但很有必要,它是能力培养的基础。在词句落实的基础上,可向学生提出稍高的要求,如写出高质量的句子: What a happy family I have ! (I have a happy family.) The story is so interesting that everyone likes it.( The story is very interesting. Everyone likes it. ) He didn’t come to school, because he was ill. (He was ill. He didn’t come to school.) I am good at not only English but also math.(I am good at English and I am good at math ,too. )( 2、) 阅读背诵精彩段落,围绕单元话题设计书面表达。 阅读是写作的熟练记住每一话题的单词。熟记单词后让他们能够熟练的运用,能够把重点单词用来造句。然后熟记词组,特别是能够熟练的运用词组,能够用词组熟练造句。用词组和单词连成简单句,只要学生将句子表达清楚,语意连贯,就是一篇好的英语文章。

家庭盛宴是感恩节期间的一个重要习俗。全家人围坐在饭桌边一起祈祷,愿上帝施与永不停息的恩惠。 这也让身处异地的亲友欢聚一堂,同庆美好时光。

传统的填制火鸡让每个餐桌生色不少,南瓜派、酸果沙司、玉米更是那天必不可少的菜肴。虽然历史学家没有证据证明在第一个感恩节时人们就吃火鸡,但没有火鸡的感恩节是不完美的。

感恩节那天进行的巡游仪式大概始于林肯总统时期,而且这天被宣布为法定节日。隆重的巡游仪式是显示国家军事力量和严明纪律的一个方式,但这样的巡游主要目的是振奋国人,为大众提供一个积极健康的娱乐活动。现代的巡游活动还加入音乐节目,众多名人也参与其中。

篇20:保护环境作文英语80个单词

全文共 1236 字

+ 加入清单

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.

This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living.

In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.

When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.
