[高中英语作文：旅行的真谛

will christmas replace the spring festival?

this worry is fairly unnecessary. why ? one reason lies that christmas only affects christians，college students and joint-venture (合资企业)workers. another reason is that christmas is mostly celebrated in cities. few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic(带有异国情调的) festival. by contrast，the spring festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family.

Chinese New Year is coming soon. I am very happy! I can put on my new clothes. We can get a lot of lucky money. We can eat a big dinner. We can do many interesting things. I expect Chinese New Year coming.

The Spring Festival is here, and the couplet is also attached to the couplet. Today, we have a couplet together. I saw my dad playing the couplet as if they were fun, so I had a quarrel to stick. Dad said to me, "the couplets should be posted right, and they are all grown up. What do children stick to?"

At this time, I saw my father put the Fu paste back, I said, "Dad, the Fu sticker is opposite!" Dad said, "come over to represent the meaning of Blessing, do you understand?" "Oh, I have learned new knowledge." And I also know the last word on the one or two, the last word is to distinguish between the upper and lower three or four. On the face on the right, lower left attached to the knowledge. Im so happy!

At this time, the sound of the outside of the sound of firecrackers ringing, but I do not feel hard to hear. It may be that the joy of learning new knowledge is better than the unpleasant sound of a firecracker. So it wont be hard to hear.

Look at the red couplets, listening to the sound of fireworks, "good" thinking, learn the new knowledge of the great joy.

The old man, how I want you to stay in this nice firecracker! Even for a moment, it is also beautiful, and it makes me feel endless.

Because only once a year, the new year, the scene is so nostalgic!

Spring Festival is the most important holiday for Chinese people. Excitement and happiness are palpable this time of the year， and they reach the peak on lunar new year‘s eve.

Though the 15-day period， which starts with the first day of the lunar new year and ends on the 15th day (known as Lantern Festival)， is relatively long， it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.

But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China， except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

In the past， celebrations were limited to events like song-and-dance duets in North China， dragon/lion dances in South China and fireworks， which required the joint efforts of the entire community. But economic development and urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among people. Many， especially those living in cities， are not interested in celebrating the festival with people they hardly know.

Many customs associated with Spring Festival have changed， too. In the past， people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today， many people， especially the youth， use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones， but we should see this development as a time- and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.

In recent times， many people have started praying for a career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of their family. But the number of such people is decreasing now， which shows that people are becoming more reasonable.

The spring festival is Chinese most traditional festival every 365 days.

Each Chinese pay much attention on it. Every year about 15 days before spring

festival， the migrate works and white-collars are beginning crowded

home-returning.

But， in recent years， with the development of the world， many different

attitudes between the young and the old towards the spring festival come forth.

The old are still pay more attention to the spring festival， but the young

gradually change the mode to spend their spring festival holiday， such as travel

overseas.

When I am a childhood， I celebrated the spring festival with my family

about a month in my winter vacation in traditional way， such as helping cleaning

our houses， putting red couplets on gates， setting off firecrackers， and wear

new clothes. Now， I spend only 4 or 5 days at home with my parents in

celebrating the spring festival， then I will hurry back to work. Maybe in the

near future， I will have no time celebrating spring festival hometown， and my

parents have to come to stay with us in the city.

Whether or no， I like the spring festival. It is one of the most important

part of our Chinese culture. However busy I am， I will try my best to

celebrating it with the traditional way to protect those our ancestor has leave

behind.

On the eve of the new year, everyone is enjoying the delicious new years Eve dinner, setting off firecrackers and giving gifts, but they once thought of wasting, so there was a waste in the new year.

This is the result I had to ask my mother once. At the time of the new year, we all eat up the stomach, but there are many more meals to go to sleep. When you get up in the kitchen in the morning, you cant see their shadows again. I ran to ask mother, mother said: “ those ah, all I fell off, you have to eat me to cook. ” Im puzzled that mom is usually very frugal, so how to waste it this time! So, I found the phenomenon of waste in the New Year!

Students, know Li Shenyou a poem “ who knows the dish, the grain is hard ”? These waste of food enough to eat for many days, this is by how many sweat, I believe that many families have been such a phenomenon!

And the fireworks, and dont see it as beautiful when it is launched. In fact, it contains a lot of harmful substances to the human body, and it will also cause pollution to the environment. Some people also buy fireworks and do not put it, is it a very waste of money? The right amount of fireworks is good, not too much!

There is a gift, we will send in at present, if every day stopping, not every day to send a gift? Its a lot of money and a lot of wrapping paper.

There is a lot of waste, I dont say it, we dont waste, a happy year!

选修课(Selective Courses) This term our school laid down a new rule about selective court. For the first two weeks, we may sit in as many classes as we like before we decide on which courses to choose. We jumped for joy. The first week I attended classes for four evenings on end and found out that most of the teachers took it serioualy. They were busy in "winning votes" for fear, that later on no one would attend their lectures.

For example, the teacher of Modern Literature of Taiwan said, "Actually the flrst two hours of my lecture were only a prelude. The real contents have not been involved. In the furore, we shall discuss such famous writers as Qiong Yao, Xi Murong, etc, and such famous aetresses as Lin Fengjiao, Lin Qingxia etc. We have lots of vedio-taped films to watch. These are confined only to those who co-major in this court." See, after all, the last sentence is the core of everything he said.

The teacher of Appreciation and Critics of Modern Opera said, "We have a variety of contents and the teaching method is changable. For instance, l may choose one act from a play and let you perform it in class. If you do a good job, you can put on the play at the school theater festival. Also, we shall arrange for you to watch current plays. The school is in charge of the traffic and tickets, Of course, only those who co-major this course are eligible." You see, the most important thing comes at last through twists and turns.

导语：以下是小编精心整理的高中英语作文教学反思，欢迎大家参考阅读。

高中学生的想象更趋于现实化，创造想象也日益占优势地位。表现 出更大的主动性和有意性，能够运用自己的创造力去解决新的问题。

由于高中学生在英语学习方面有了一定的词汇积累、阅读经验以及掌握了一些基本的语法规则，使他们已初步具备了将心中所思转化为英语文字的能力。在这个阶段，教师如果通过影像、音乐、语言等多种手段，在学生的作文训练中大力发展学生思维的变通性和独创性，那么，学生想象力的提高将会成为可能。

一、利用表象，丰富想象

观察图画和实物作文符合英语作文起步阶段需要有一定的情景要求，也符合高中学生有意想象占优势的特点，同时避免了文字情节作文易使学生中译英的缺点，但若每一次训练都是刻板的再现材料，创造想象则难以增长。如果在教学设计时，在图中留有空白，或对实物设置悬念，不仅可以引发学生的好奇心，激发他们对英语作文的兴趣，减轻他们的惧怕心理，而且可以促使学生通过创造性的想象去填补空白，解决悬念。

如Senior BookⅠ,Unit 3 中的“Help! Help!”，可按发展顺序设计几幅救落水儿童的图，但只给学生展示第一、二两幅图，图画的内容大致与课文内容相同，但是后几幅的空白，使学生必须通过创造性的想象才能填补材料的空白。学生可以引用课文中的材料，也可以自由发挥。有学生这样写到：

Last week, we had a picnic in Forest Park. We found a shady place by the river. As soon as we had sat down, Tom suddenly got up and shouted, “Someone has fallen into the river!" It was true. A boy was struggling in the water, and the children in a boat looked hopeless. Tom and Jack took off their shoes while running to wards the water. They swam very quickly towards the boy who was sinking fast. Tom and Jack got hold of the boy by the arms and lifted his head above the water. Together they pulled the boy to the shore.

之后，再给学生展示其中一幅图，或一句话的情景：……,a man/a woman/a child, etc. has fallen into the river/the lake, etc.……。让学生自由选择自由发挥。有的根据曾在报上看到的新闻，称颂一身怀六甲的妇女勇救落水儿童的事迹，也有的谴责那些对落水者无动于衷的旁观者。学生的作文体裁记叙文、议论文不限。这样，既训练了他们书面的表达能力，又发挥了他们的想象和创造能力、思维表达能力。同时也让他们思索了做人的道理。

二、精选图画，激发想象

处于英语作文起步阶段的学生的想象具有直观性，片面性和模仿性的特点，为其提供的观察材料越具体、越完整、越详实，他们的这些特点往往表现得越明显，有时甚至强化了他们的这些特点。换个方式，为他们提供一些抽象的图画，他们的创造想象反而被激活，因为他们必须在原有的图画上进行创造才可能有新的形象产生。而“抽象画作品所表现的物象与参照物相差甚远，它最大限度地把形与色对视觉作用的潜力发挥出来，直观效果非常强烈。它经过夸张、简化、分解、组合等变化手段，将客观事物的表象创造成为富于想象力。”如荷兰画家蒙德里安的表达百老汇街道的嘈杂与热闹的《百老汇爵士》（Jazz in Broadway）是一幅看上去比较抽象的图画，学生通过观察、运用合理的想象，写出了内容各异的作品。

有学生这样写到：

It is the downtown of Shanghai. The streets, such as Nanjing Road and Huaihai Road, etc are busy. Cars, buses and trucks with all kinds of advertisements are running. People dressed in their best are walking happily or hurrying to work on their bikes. Beautifully decorated stores are crowded with people shopping. They all look in high spirits. The traffic policemen at the crossings are directing the traffic attentively and seriously. Everything is in good order. Such is our city. I love our city.

而另有学生在他们的作文中认为这是一个“排污系统”（drain outlet system ）或电路板（circuit board）或房屋平面图（a plane figure of a house）等等。

可见，由抽象的图画到生动画面的产生，到一篇作文的写作成功，是创造想象不断发展的过程，也是提高英语语言运用能力的过程。

三、借助音乐，拓宽想象

音乐能有效地丰富学生的精神生活，促进学生感知、情感、想象等方面的健康成长，能给学生提供想象和联想的广阔空间，有利于培养学生的发散性思维能力，促进人的全脑开发，为学生的创新精神和实践能力在各方面的延伸乃至终身发展提供良好的基础。因此，在英语写作训练中有时借助音乐等艺术形式，对丰富学生的想象力是一种有益的尝试。

如Senior Book Ⅵ ,Unit 7中的“The Waltz king ”这一课文，根据内容，可设计让学生听一首Beethoven的“命运”(Fate)，让学生根据自己的理解，写一篇作文，一位学生这样写到：

I am a graduate from high school, and I will enter for the Collage Entrance Examination. Whether I will be admitted to a collage, I will work harder than before , since our country is still poor and weak.

从作品中我们可以发现，借助音乐，学生的想象力得到了较大幅度的拓展。“音乐艺术对学生的创造能力的发展具有独特的作用。

四、灵活方法，发展想象

“创造想象是严格的构思过程，它是由思维调节的。”想象会产生全新的物象与情景、独特的认识和感悟。一段文字、一篇文章，给不同的读者，就有不同的想象余地。正如：A thousand readers, a thousand Hamlets.（一千个读者，就有一千个哈姆雷特。）在英语作文教学中根据一定的线索或情节，提供学生广阔的思维空间，让学生进行想象描述（创造性的描述），会收到很好的锻炼效果。

例如 “After Twenty Years" (Senior Book Ⅵ,Unit 5) 这一课，可要求学生在学完之后， 简单续写一个结尾。这是一篇根据O. Henry 同名原作改写的文章。文章的故事情节虽然简单，但很能挖掘、发挥学生的创造想象力。学生这样写到：

As soon as the police officer wanted to catch Bob by the arm, he took out a gun, aimed at the officer and said, “I knew I was wanted, but I dont want to be arrested anyway. Tell Jim Wells I will come to visit him one day." Just at that time, the police officer found himself surrounded by some strong men, gun in hand, pointing to him. Bob then walked into the street and got into a car parking there, followed by those strong men. The car soon disappeared.

另有学生这样写到：

The moment the officer caught Bob by the arm, he got rid of it and ran away at once. He was running down the street as fast as he could, when he was shot on the right shoulder. He turned round. To his great surprise, it was Jim Wells, his o ld friend. He fell on the ground and fainted.

在作文教学中，通过对一定的语言材料进行不同方式的处理，确实是锻炼学生的思维，发展学生的想象力的一条重要途径。当学生对当前的语言材料进行阅读、处理时，进行了充分的分析、比较，又充分展示了自己的想象力，其思维得到了充分的发散。

心理学研究已经证实，发散思维对个体的创造性有着重要影响，我们应该根据教材特点，结合教学内容，注意这种思维能力的训练，并创造一些行之有效的教学技术。可以说，续写结尾、续写故事、改写、扩写等，都是高中英语作文教学中锻炼学生思维，发展学生想象力的有效手段。

Summer can be very hot in southern taibei where the temperature usually goes up to 32"C or more. Because of the heat it is a trying experience to go to school or do anything else in a place that is not air-conditioned. Also because of this I stay at home most of the time during the summer vacation and only occasionally go to the beach to plunge myself into the cool water as a way to keep my body less sticky. Actually I like swimming and think nothing is more refreshing than a swim. In the summer vacation that has just ended I went swimming many times with my classmates and we all had a good time. This summer vacation, however, was not spent entirely in seeking fun. As a second-year senior student I had to prepare myself for the college entrance examinations that were only a year away. In other words, I must find time to study, too. So I divided my time between work and play during the summer vacation and derived much benefit from this arrangement.

I spent this summer vacation in quite a different way. I used to run about every day in previous summer vacations, but this summer vacation I simply could not afford to do so. I would soon be in the last year of my high-school education and would after graduation be up against the college entrance examinations. Though those examinations were still a year away, I had to start early to make myself well prepared by reviewing all those things I had learned at school and this summer vacation was the ideal time for me to do this. At first I was rather dismayed at the thought of this, but later I thought it was better this way because by working hard this summer I could count on endless happy summers to come. With this in mind I then set to work like anything and only occasionally went out for a change or did some physical. I was not at all bored by this kind of life, for I was sustained by a hope.
