上大学的准备工作英文作文【一】
I read the Chinese version of “Camille” a few years ago. At that time I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas, fils, is the story of Marguerite Gautier, a young courtesan, or kept woman, in Paris in the mid 1800's, and how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval, and then tries to escape from her questionable past. Unfortunately, it comes back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone, but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart. When I first began to read the book, I did not care for Marguerite or her attitude or lifestyle, but as I got further into the narrative, I realized that her saucy attitude was a front to cover the lonely woman that she really was. She felt used, abused and unloved, until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her as a person and not for what she could do for him. It must have taken great courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long, knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.
However, happiness didn’t last for long. When M. Duval, Armand's father, came to her, pleading for her to leave Armand to save both Armand's reputation and that of his younger innocent sister, Marguerite saw a way to become pure of heart, if not in body. She felt that it was her duty, because she loved Armand so much, to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily. She reluctantly returned to her former life, knowing that.some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly, she died in debt and basically alone, except for her one female friend, Julie Duprat, who helped her during her illness. She had her journal sent to Armand after her death, explaining why she had made the choices she had. I think Dumas's last few lines about Marguerite being the exception, not the rule were quite true, and I also agreed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned, we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless, while this may not always be the case. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact, which exists in the whole society.
As far as the other characters in the book, I think Marguerite was right in saying that no one truly cared about her, but only wanted something from her, the only exceptions being Armand and Julie Duprat. Of course, the Comte de G. and Comte de N. wanted her body and appearance. The
Duke needed to “wake up and smell the coffee” and realize that she could never replace his dead daughter. If he truly cared, he could have helped her leave her lifestyle without “keeping” her himself. And lastly, Prudence was a blood-sucking leech who used Marguerite almost worse than the men. I also think she was jealous of the fact that Marguerite had so much more courage than herself and someone truly loved her.
Last morning, when tiding my bookshelf, I took this book out of the shelf, and a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. I held it against the morning light and blew on it. The soft breeze carried it away. Camille is just like the camellia, she could never escape from the destiny of withering. But it wasn’t her fault; it’s because of the evil of Capitalism and the hideousness of that society.
Suddenly, I remembered a saying: “Women are like the flowers”. Those pretty women are like those beautiful flowers; their delicate beauty makes people feel they are the miracle of life. However, even the God envies their beauty. It seems that beautiful women always have tragic endings. As we are normal persons, even we can see the hideousness of humanity that results in their fate of withering, we can at most ask quietly in our hearts: Where have those beautiful flowers gone? Where have they gone?
The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe
It seemed to be such a coincidence that the night after I finished reading The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe, I was to dine in a restaurant distinctly related to the book itself. This restaurant was no other than the famous American-styled “Friday ’s. ” The reason for mentioning this restaurant is quite straightforward to all the gentlemen, ladies and children who have read the novel and enjoyed it, which is the fact that this restaurant was, most likely, named after the American Native in Robinson Crusoe, called Friday. This restaurant offers very exceptional service, for instance when the waitresses are asked to order dishes they kneel rather than stand, which, unlike the other restaurants I have been to, makes it easier for the customers to hear them speak. Moreover, Friday’s friendly services to the customers help them to make better choices when ordering dishes. I remembered when I went to Friday ’s last time; the waitress kindly described the items on the menu with precise details. It turned out that the combo I initially wanted was designed to be shared among a large group, not to be eaten by one person. I think this restaurant shows many commendable features similar to that of Friday. Friday brought emotional warmth to the people around him with his appealing personality. I think it was this personality that affected Crusoe and made him say that he loved Friday when Crusoe didn ’t express love for his parents, brothers, sisters, or even his wife. “When he espied me, he came running to me, laying himself down again upon the ground, with all the possible signs of an humble, thankful disposition, making many antic gestures to show it to let me know how he would serve me as long as he lived.” This was what Friday did after Crusoe had rescued him from the two savages chasing him. It was easy for me to see why Crusoe had loved Friday. After sometime, Crusoe and Friday were to rescue Friday’s father. When Friday reunited with his father, the scene was easy to move anyone: “It would have moved anyone to tears to have seen how Friday kissed him, embraced him, hugged him, cried, laughed, halloed, jumped about, danced,
sung; and then sung and jumped about again, like a distracted creature. It was a good while before I could make him speak to me.” This is my favourite chapter in the whole book. It is hard to see why Friday is an ex-savage when he can have personalities more praiseworthy than many civilized people, viz. Crusoe himself. “When he (Friday went to him (Friday’s father, he would sit down by him, open his breast, and hold his father’s head close to his bosom, half an hour together, to nourish it; then he took his arms and ankles, which were numbed and stiff with the binding, and rubbed them with his hands.” Furthermore, Friday’s expression of loyalty in asking Crusoe to kill him rather than leave him is more heartfelt than anything Crusoe ever says or does.
Crusoe, on the absolute contrary, seems incapable of deep feelings, as shown by his account of leaving his family—he never shows any emotions. After a moving lecture from Robinson’s father about his future, he still decided to follow his own wandering ambition. Careless was he about the wishes of his parents to keep him alive and prosperous, as he was the only child left in the family. When he came back from the island which he had lived on for twenty eight years, he found that it had been too late to tell his parents that he was still alive, but yet again he did not feel sorry for them; he also did not feel sorry for the two people who had to live in misery for nearly thirty years under the allusion all of their sons were dead. He had the same feelings for his wife: when he was married, he said it was “not either to my disadvantage or dissatisfaction”, implying that it was also neither to his advantage nor his satisfaction. Moreover, after his wife died, Robinson did not think of looking after the three children they had, but went back to the island, which he had lived on for twenty-eight years. It was on this trip which Robinson Crusoe revisited “His Island ” as he called it. I feel that Robinson ’s indifference to his family is almost emotionally cruel.
Before had clearly shown the contrast between Crusoe’s and Friday’s personalities, as when Friday, in his joyful reunion with his father, displayed far more emotion toward his family members than Crusoe, whereas Crusoe never mentions missing his family or dreams about the happiness of seeing them again. I think Defore is very successful in introducing Friday as part of the novel, it makes the whole novel seem much more complete and gripping to the reader, as well as proving that Defoe’s ideology of racism is civilized unlike many other Europeans at that time; natives and savages are not worse than others but can perhaps even be more modern and civilized. Those are the reasons of why I like The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe and Friday.

上大学的准备工作英文作文【三】
杜克海，曾是学校社会活动的积极分子，拥有各种荣誉与头衔，更是老师与同学眼中的优等生。大学生活过半时，杜克海厌倦了种种被动式、学与考、机械式的生活方式，想要试图寻找一种自由轻松的大学生活，想为自己读点书，好好地为自己生活。大三的他，放下了诸如委员、主席、会长等头衔与各种学生工作，做回一名普普通通简简单单的学生。但当他放肆的享受着大学生活时，身边的绝大部分同学却正紧张的投入到各类考证与考研大军中。
杜克海，在面对自己未来时，迷茫了!
我不是上了大学，而是被大学上了!许多人在大学毕业后这样总结自己的大学经历，他们中的大部分人由高中时期的机器转变成了大学时代的就业机器。在大学里，许多学生的学习目标变成拿奖学金与考证，在许多人眼里这些是日后找工作的敲门砖与重要筹码。而当你问他们，在大学里，你学到了什么?或许他们还需要点时间去回想一下，最终你将得到的\'答案也许是，不知道!
但在上海，中国首个大学生原创设计品牌RafflesPrivato，以其年轻、活力、创意的风格吸引着时尚界的注意。香港两大巨星叻哥陈百祥与女强人邝美云还在今年3月，特意来到位于上海新天地时尚的店铺置办节目录制行头。RafflesPrivato由莱佛士教育集团最初在新加坡创立，旨在扶持莱佛士学生的原创创新设计，帮助学生作品直接面对市场接受检验，在打造成市场认可的品牌事业的过程中，孵化培育出更多拥有原创创新才华、市场认可度以及潮流触觉与敏感度的亚洲青年设计师新锐。2011年，在东华大学-莱佛士国际设计专修学院的全力支持下，上海的RafflesPrivato在时尚地标新天地开幕，每一位设计师与管理人员都是莱佛士的学生，他们并没有在大学里为了所谓的求职敲门砖而忙忙碌碌，却是结合学院所学的专业知识与在学校的各类活动与实践中得到许多丰富的实战，真正的为自己事业的未来在努力奋斗着。他们其中的部分学生，更是在RafflesPrivato的工作实践与市场检验中，得到了独到的工作与市场剖析的经验，成功创办自己的工作室以及达到国际水平的时装秀。
首批入驻RafflesPrivato的东华莱佛士时装设计系的优秀毕业生
其实，很多学生都有自己的理想，也知道自己要的是什么，而迷茫的根本原因是在于他们不知道自己怎么把理想与现实衔接起来，最终就选了条不会出错的随大流。理想与现实之间并不像牛郎与织女间有着一条不可逾越的银河。
大学理应教授学生如何锻炼思维方式，有效地学习专业知识，从知识、活动、实践中开阔眼界，并辅助学生确定符合自己并切身实际的理想，引导学生正确选择适合自己的优势职业。而我国的大学教育对于学生的职业规划还处于刚刚起步时期，大学生的职业规划意识还处于萌芽期。
世间不缺乏有理想的人，缺乏的只是能将理想实现的人!这句话正是对目前那些处于迷茫中的学生的正解。许多学生就像杜克海形容的，一直都是跟着大部队前行，从来没有想过要走到哪儿，只知道跟着走没错。但当走累了，想独自听下来休息一会儿的时候，却发现大部队走远了，而自己却徘徊在十字路口，不知道该往哪儿走。如果学校在这个时候能实际地辅助、引导他们消除迷茫与焦虑所在，而不是一味的让学生自己在迷茫焦虑的世界里自寻答案，这样就不会有那么多学生像杜克海那样反复不停地问自己出路在哪里，因为他们明白，出路就在自己的坚持、勇气与梦想里。
上大学的准备工作英文作文【四】
通过近两年的社区工作经历，给我总的感觉是这项工作极度需要“用心与居民沟通”，要把自己放在居民的角度去考虑一些问题。当然我刚进社区的时候没有一点社会经验，为人处事总是自我为大，处理事情总是想当然，这就在一定程度上使我的工作产生了很大的困难。为此，社区里的前辈们总是告诫我，耐下心，才能真正处理好社区的日常事务，老百姓是相信我们才来找我们的，为他们服务是我们必须要做到的。
我深刻意识到，作为一名年轻大学毕业生，理论水平高，文化素质好，对新事物接受能力强是自己的优点，我必须把这一优点最大化的发掘出来。而缺乏工作经历，不会与老百姓打交道，不懂串门走户走访群众调查研究，更不好意思找群众谈心拉家常，了解和解决实际问题更是自己的不足。刚到社区的\'时候，我发现社区的电脑只是用于日常的打字和打印用途，没有发挥其现代化的信息通讯能力，也在一定程度上妨碍了工作效率地提高。由于大学我学的是计算机专业，深知信息网络化和办公电子化是现代社会发展的必然。而近几年社会经济的飞速发展和城市化进程的加快，也使得社区建设也正全面开展，快速推进，针对社区的现有硬件设备，我联系和参与了社区网站地建立和维护，一些通知和社区新闻及时上网发布，让居民们足不出户就能够得知社区的最新动态，使得社区事务更加公开化和现代化，更加贴近老百姓的日常生活。对各项工作的电脑报表进行了再次优化，工作效率得到了飞速提升。
人总是在不断学习和受挫中得到成长的，我也不例外。而社区更是锻炼人的意志，增强人的品性的地方。通过和退休工人打了一年多的交道，我体会到了“老吾老以及人之老”这句古训的精妙之处，老年人需要被认识，被尊重，老年人内心深处非常希望得到社会和家人的理解、认识和尊重；特别害怕有人刺伤他们的自尊心，以至把他们当成累赘。那么在处理退休人员的各项事务中就要遵循一个原则——尊重和理解，理解在什么时候都是万岁的。记得有一次，发放退休人员医保卡。有位退休工人的医保卡上的名字打印错误了，我对她作出解释，这是上级银行在制卡的时候搞错了，我们可以帮助去调换，但是需要您的身份证。这位退休工人笑着把身份证交给了我：“让你们办事，我放心。”在居民的信任中，我对这项社区工作也更加热忱，为居民办好事、办实事的压力也更加重了，但是我依旧会坚持自己的理想，发挥自己大学时的所学，更加努力地为社区居民服务。
上大学的准备工作英文作文【五】
This is a story about a special and unreserved woman who has been exposed to a hostile environment but continuously and fearlessly struggling for her ideal life. The story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit.
It seems to me that many readers’ English reading experience starts with Jane Eyer. I am of no exception. As we refer to the movie “Jane Eyer”, it is not surprising to find some differences because of its being filmized and retold in a new way, but the spirit of the novel remains----to be an independent person, both physically and mentally.
Jane Eyer was a born resister, whose parents went off when she was very young, and her aunt，the only relative she had，treated her as badly as a ragtag. Since Jane’s education in Lowwood Orphanage began, she didn’t get what she had been expecting——simply being regarded as a common person, just the same as any other girl around. The suffers from being humiliated and devastated teach Jane to be persevering and prize dignity over anything else.As a reward of revolting the ruthless oppression, Jane got a chance to be a tutor in Thornfield Garden. There she made the acquaintance of lovely Adele and that garden’s owner, Rochester, a man with warm heart despite a cold face outside. Jane expected to change the life from then on, but fate had decided otherwise: After Jane and Rochester fell in love with each other and got down to get marry, she unfortunately came to know in fact Rochester had got a legal wife, who seemed to be the shadow following Rochester and led to his moodiness all the time ----Rochester was also a despairing person in need of salvation. Jane did want to give him a hand, however, she made up her mind to leave, because she didn’t want to betray her own principles, because she was Jane Eyer. The film has finally got a symbolist end: Jane inherited a large number of legacies and finally returned. After finding Rochester ’s misfortune brought by his original mad wife, Jane chose to stay with him forever.
I don’t know what others feel, but frankly speaking, I would rather regard the section that Jane began her teaching job in Thornfield as the film’s end----especially when I heard Jane’s words “Never in my life have I been awaken so happily. ” For one thing, this ideal and brand-new beginning of life was what Jane had been imagining for long as a suffering person; for another, this should be what the audiences with my views hoped her to get. But the professional judgment of producing films reminded me to wait for a totally different result: There must be something wrong coming with the excellence----perhaps not only should another section be added to enrich the story, but also we may see from the next transition of Jane’s life that “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you would get.”
What ’s more, this film didn’t end when Jane left Thornfield. For Jane Eyer herself, there should always be somewhere to realize her great ideal of being independent considering her fortitude, but for Rochester, how he can get salvation? The film gives the answer tentatively: Jane eventually got back to Rochester. In fact, when Jane met Rochester for the first time, she scared his horse and made his heel strained, to a certain extent, which meant Rochester would get retrieval because of Jane. We can consider Rochester’s experiences as that of religion meaning. The fire by his frantic wife was the punishment for the cynicism early in his life. After it, Rochester got the mercy of the God and the love of the woman whom he loved. Here we can say: human nature and divinity get united perfectly in order to let such a story accord with the requirements of both two sides. The value of this film may be due to its efforts to explore a new way for the development of humanism under the faith of religion.

Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters. The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant. Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.
The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.
The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in poss ession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.
People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.
I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughte rs. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.
In “Pride and Prejudice”, the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.
In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in our
society. We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?
Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.
