Father's Day
Yesterday was Father's Day. I had planned to give my father a present. But I didn't remember it until in the morning.It was too late to post a card to him. So I decided to buy something. When I was in the department store. I found it was not easy for me to choose something right for him. Suddenly I
got an idea. I ran home and opened my computer. I made a beautiful card and mailed him through the Internet. then I began to make supper. When father came home, he was very glad to find a big meal on the table. then I asked him to check his e-mail. He was amazed to find a beautiful card in his e-mail-box.
What a wonderful surprise!
转眼间,已经10月6日了,下午,我将要参加由广州市少年宫举行的“少儿英语表演赛”初赛。虽然或多或少地准备了三天,可心里依旧没有底。就从我们班看吧,参加这次比赛的同学在放假前好几天就开始准备了。再把眼光放远一些,整个广州市的英语精英多的是,他们不知什么时候就开始准备了。不说这么多了,反正就是一句话:心里乱的是。
下午两点钟多一点点,我就出去坐车了。一想到马上就要比赛,心里就慌得“咚咚”直跳。毕竟,我自己的事自己知道,为了这次比赛,我做的准备时间不超过四小时。一想到这些,我就不寒而栗了。趁现在这段时间,我还是再复习几遍吧,虽然临时抱佛脚是没用的,但毕竟多练习一次就多一丝希望。
一个多小时的.车程转眼间就过了。刚踏入少年宫,就感到了一阵生机,门口放着一张鲜绿的大牌,两边还各有一个气球人,挥动着两只长长的手臂,仿佛在为我加油。四周的树木绿绿的。看到这一切,心里就轻松了一些。可是来到赛场,心里就又一阵害怕了,多严肃啊。这时,我真想看到一个两个同班同学,就是他们一句简单的鼓励我的话,也能让我心里踏实一些。可是没有。
走进赛场,就开始了等待。这时,我是可以在作准备的,可紧张和担心已让我受够了。过了一会儿,就有老师领着我们进场。
只见比赛的教室里一片肃静,我们这些参赛选手各就各位后比赛就开始了。大家一个一个地表演,有的显示出了自己的风采,也有部分同学因紧张而发挥不出真正的成绩。“下面是Aa147号同学。”裁判员点到。我小小步地来到教室中央。“Good afternoon,evebody."刚说完,我就紧张得忘记了下一句,好一会儿才想起来。看着裁判员那一脸的微笑,我那悬着的心渐渐平静了下来。用较流利的英语讲起了故事。刚讲到一半,突然忘记了下一句,好久才想起来。这时,讲到了我平时最不熟的一句就停下了,心里“咚咚咚”地跳个不停,我确实记不起下一句是什么。我紧张地看着裁判们,他们都面带着微笑,但是任我怎样使劲地想,脑子里就是一片空白。这时,只见裁判脸一沉,说了声“唱歌吧。”我的心也随之沉了下来,这无疑是给我判了死刑。但我一向是要强的人,还是高声唱起了英文歌。接下来,大家又一个个上台表演了。
虽然这次比赛我失败了,但我并不灰心,重在参与嘛,成败并不重要。从这次失败中,我明白了凡事都要认真对待才能成功。我相信从这次失败中吸取到教训,下一次我一定能行!
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.
This is my first week in ** Senior Middle School.Everything here is new for me.Our school is an old school but it`s very beautiful.I have 50 new classmates in my class.They`re all very excellent, I think, and I felt a little sad.Because I`m too common.But come to think of it,it`s a very good thing.I believe I can also be very excellent if I study with such excellent classmates.I didn`t know why Ms *** chose me to be the committee of study.But I know it`s a good chance for me to raise my ability.All I can do is do my best in the future.I am sure that Ms *** and my classmates can help me when I do something wrong. Because they`re all very kind.It`s a pleasure to work and study with them.I`m really very happy.I`m not an outstanding student in this class,but I can do the same thing like others.I believe I won`t make anyone disappointed.
今天上午,我在火炬学校参加了青少年英语比赛,我怀着紧张的心情,走进了考场。
比赛之前,监考老师讲完规则后,每人发了三张试卷,其中一张答题卡,两张题目,铃声一响,比赛正式开始。
环节一:听力和默写。考生们纷纷拿出笔,做好了听写准备,监考老师在上面报单词,每个报两遍,考生在下面默写,过十几秒继续下一个单词。考生们都聚精会神在下面听和写,一个字也不说,安静得连考生的呼吸声都能听见,时间过得很快,不一会儿第一环节结束了。
环节二:笔试。第一题是选则题,我觉得比较简单,紧张的心情稍稍放松了一些。轻松的答题,很快便答完了。第二题是根据已知的问句用英语写答句,我看了很久,有点懵了,因为问句我看都看不懂,又没人问,根本做不出,结束铃声响了,到最后不得已放弃。
我真希望这次比赛能取得好成绩!
一放暑假,我和妈妈就进入了“备战”状态。不断地改进“作战计划”——准备演讲故事,并让老师过目修改,让句子更流畅,让内容更精彩。精心挑选“装备”——在网上购买服装道具,为了在演讲时让故事更生动活泼。
7月15日,“战争”的号角吹响了,我也“重装”上阵,蓄势待发。
第一场“战役”,才艺表演:唱歌、跳舞、书画、二胡、小提琴、快板,真是八仙过海各显神通。我的快板表演也极富创意,具有中国特色。
第二场“战役”,看图即兴编故事:图片随机抽取,选手只有一分钟准备时间。在那一分钟里,我的大脑高速运转,玩命地搜索英文单词,紧张的心情并没有打扰我的比赛。
第三场“战役”,关键词故事演讲:选手们各出奇招,表现超凡。我“全副武装”,化身头戴草帽的白胡子老爷爷,手拿人偶,又说又唱,十分完美地演绎了故事内容。
“战后”,我取得了二等奖。“书山有路勤为径,学海无涯苦作舟。”想拿第一,还得勤学苦练。
A man walking in the night slipped from a rock. Afraid that he would fall down thousands of feet, because he knew that place was a very deep valley, he took hold of a branch that was hanging over the rock. In the night all he couls see was a bottomless abyss. He shouted, his own shout reflected back--there was nobody to hear.
You can imagine that man and his whole night of scare. Every moment there was death, his hands were becoming cold, he was losing his gripand as the sun came out he looked down and he laughed. There was no abyss. Just six inches down there was a rock. He could have rested the whole night, slept well---the rock was big enough---but the whole night was a nightmare.
Fear is only six inches deep. Now it is up to you whether you want to go on cling to the branch and turn your life into a nightmare, or whether you would love to leave the branch and stand on your feet.
There is nothing to fear.
