初学英语作文必备【一】
到了陶艺馆，老师给我和可心一人一块陶泥，问我们要做什么。我们都说要做个碗，老师点点头。她先帮我们定好重心，然后叫我们自己DIY。对初学陶艺的我们来说，是一件很困难的事情。一开始，老师教我们把陶泥中间按一个小孔出来。第一次，我用很大的'力气往下按。一按，力气太大、重心不稳，陶泥破了个洞，而且重心歪到西伯利亚了，我的第一次以失败告终。而可心呢，情况和我差不多。我们俩像两个泄了气的气球一样，垂头丧气。在我们已经失望的时候，有一句俗语提醒了我俩：“有志者，事竞成”。它鼓励我们从失败中站了起来。我们开始尝试了第二次。
第二次开始了，这一次我们不像上一次一样，粗鲁地用尽全力按下去，而是小心翼翼轻轻地按下去。太好了，终于成功了！我和可心拍手庆祝。下一步，从下往上轻轻地让它变薄 ，慢慢地让它扩大，有碗的形状啦！这一次我可不是以失败告终了，而是一次性成功。我高兴地跳了起来。做完这一步，后面就小菜一碟了。我以神的速度完成了。接下来就是三四天的火烤了。
其实做陶艺，还是简单又富有乐趣的。只是你需要有一定的耐心和志气，就一定能完成。
初学英语作文必备【二】
When I was a freshman in college I watched the film Gua Sha Treatment for the first time, now I am a junior student and I come back to review the movie from a multicultural aspect, I have many different feelings after watching the film again.
At the beginning of the film, XuDatong is given an award and later he delivers a speech. What makes me impressed most is in his speech he says “one day I will become one of you, a truly successful American, today this award proved that America is a true land of opportunity and I am the living proof of that.” At that moment Xu thinks he has realized his American Dream totally with his lovingly wife and adorable son. However, I think it is ironical that to make a speech like that and I assume it is made on purpose to hind a clue for the story's development. How many non—American people have such a beautiful American dream? One of my classmate studies in American now and before he went aboard he told me his American dream is he can stand at the top of the New York. To be honest, I also dream that one day I can get the Green Card living there happily and successfully maybe working at the Wall Street. When Xu gets the award he thinks he entirely melted in the melting pot neglecting the multicultural obstruct, later the plot goes against the way he thinks. And later Quinlan asked Xu'why you be the scapegoat of your father?' Xu answers 'because he is Chinese.' Then maybe Xu knows that there is always a wide gap between Chinese and American cultures.
The second scene is Xu hit his son Denis because Denis hit the son of xu's boss, at the middle of the film xu tells his boss that he hit his own son is only to show his respect to his boss John Quinlan, that time Quinlan feels puzzled “what a Chinese logic”,yes, American can never understand such a logic full of Chinese characteristic, because they respect everyone including the children, they won't beat a child to please the boss, and there is no such a conception of degree between employee and employer, they feel everyone is equal, which is quite different from china.
Connected to the second scene, the third difference I want to analyze is the care for the children. In America, people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law—leaving children alone at home is illegal, while in China it is so common that almost everyone may experience such loneliness. And Children Welfare Agency does work in America which shows the importance Americans attach to children's right. What's more, I remember a line 'No one won the case, especially the child.' In my opinion, it also manifests the universal concern from the American public to the children.
The fourth aspect is following the procedure, in the film, more than there times, the people focus on the rule, the law, the procedure. At the Christmas Eve Xu wants to return back to his home pretending as a Santa Claus, what a pity, the security recognizes him and persuades 'you are always a good tenement, never causes troubles for me.' And another scene is at the end of the film , the judge says 'I have to follow the procedure.' However, in China people always have to ask for a favor to do something, and later you have to pay back the favor,for myself, I prefer the American style, strict to the procedure.
The fifth and the last point is the humors, Quinlan says 'you can't fall, your health security is the company paid.' 'Datong, welcome home, maybe next time, you can come from the front door.' 'dady, why you come from the window' ' because we don't have a chimney.' I really adore this distinguished American humor, especially in dangerous situations, which is quite rare in China.
That's my whole reaction to Gua Sha Treatment.
