Back in the years when I was only six years old or so, I had my first taste of English. It seemed very strange to me. At the very beginning, I was not so interested in this strange language. Moreover, the English TV program always took time away from my cartoon shows. As a result, I started to hate English.
Time flies. Things completely changed at the end of my primary ['praim?ri] school life.
In the last exam of the whole primary school period, I did so well in English that I got a full mark. I found that I could do a perfect job in English if I put my heart on it. This exam seems to be a turning point on my road of studying English and has really inspired [in'spai?d] me. Although [?:l'e?u] there are still many
challenges ['t∫?lind?] waiting for me, these setbacks won’t hurt my confidence ['k?nfid?ns] and will push me to study harder.
Now, my ideal future like this, we have English classes everyday , because l like English very much. The classes are quite small, there are about 15 students in each class. Nothing is impossible for willing hearts and I believe, in the future, I can fly as high as I wish to.
Thanks for your listening!
尊敬的各位家长：
上午好!
很高兴见到大家.对于我们的家长和学生而言，的确是新老师;今天，我想利用这个机会，把我过去的一些经验结合这两个月对八年级学生英语研究情况的了解来与各位家长分享和探讨。
从学生的家庭作业来看，我们的家长都非常重视孩子们的英语研究。大家都意识到英语研究不论是对我们的日常生活还是升学来说，都产生着重要的作用，有着重大的意义。而我们初中阶段的教学目的在于培养学生的研究兴趣、良好的语言惯、运用英语进行交际的能力以及跨文化意识。因此，我的课堂也是围绕听、说、读、写几个方面对所学知识进行操练和运用。通过这两个月的教学，我发现这一届八年级的班主任都特别负责，班风、学风也很好，最重要的是绝大多数的同学自尊心强，上进心强，这使我对他们充满信心。但同样也发现了以下问题：
1、研究态度不够端正。部分学生对于学英语是抱着无所谓的态度，甚至会说“只要语文数学好就行了”，还有拖欠作业的.情况。
2、研究惯不够好。我要求学生在学英语的时候要大声的读单词和句子，有利于对单词的记忆，并且能更好的集中注意力。但是有很多人没有这种惯，声音很小，眼睛盯着天花板，盯着窗户读的都有，甚至还有的同学边发呆边跟着读，这样就没有效果。还存在着严重的畏难情绪，我给的问题或是阅读材料还刚出来就有人抱怨“我不会做”、“这么难”、“看不懂”，我会反问他们“你还没看题怎么知道不会做?遇到困难首先想到的不是解决问题而是逃避，那么你永远不会进步”。这几天这种情况已经减少了很多。
3、少数同学基础不好。到现在26个字母还读不全、默不全。这也是颇让人头疼的问题。
4、阅读本领欠佳。阅读在今后的升学考试，包括中考、高考、研究生考试以及大学英语四、六级考试中都占据很大的分值。但我们的学生对于阅读暂时还没有概念。我要求他们把阅读材料读三遍，第一遍泛读，也就是欣赏;第二遍精读，把生词划出来，根据上下文理解单词的意思;第三遍回答题目，可是很少有同学可以严厉按照要求完成，往往是读了一遍就不想读了。
针对以上问题，我也研究了一些方法和策略，需要各位家长的配合和支持。
1、督促学生在家听英语磁带，每周不少于1小时，最好能每天坚持听10——15分钟，这将对孩子的研究有很大帮助。
2.督促学生在家背英语单词、短语及课文，因为在校学生的背书时间太少，所以家长要配合老师在家里听写孩子的单词和短语。
3、争取消化当天所学的单词，不要积压任务。我会在每单元结束的时候组织一次听写，并要肄业生带回家给家长过目。
4、请家长催促孩子在家里完成家庭作业，以免他们来学校在匆忙之中相互抄袭。有时的默写作业我也会烦请各位家长签字，这也是为了给学生一点点压力，让他们知道父母会经常检查他们的作业本，一定要认真写才行。家长可以让学生自己默写或者报中文意思都可以，但最重要的是在学生默完后，催促他们对着书本更正。我发现，八年级的很多家长都非常负责，他们曾经在这么做了，而且做得很好! 4、每一个单元都有阅读的部分，并且附有课后题。如果你的孩子英语基础不是很好，可以督促他们先在家查字典，做适当的预。
总之，我和各位家长有着共同的心愿，都想尽自己最大的努力去培养这些孩子，他们个个都聪明、可爱，只是有些孩子的潜能还没有得到充分的发掘。今后，我也希望和各位家长保持联系，如果孩子遇到研究问题我们及时沟通。我的电话号码是：。
末了，祝愿我们的孩子进步，家长开心!
predicting our future
china, our great motherland, is developing very fast. more and more techniques are being used into our daily life. well, let's imagine what our future will be like in 50 years.
first, there will be more trees but lepollution. it's very important for us to protect our living environment. however, some people are destorying it only because they want to fullfill their selfifh purpose-to get more and more money. we are being told that it's wrong to bulid our happineon the sufferings of our descendants. so, i think we should do something to change the present situation. and now our goverment is trying to solve this problem, and some relevent policies will come into force very could expect a bright future for our environment.
second, much more advanced technologies will be used, which will provide us much more convinence. after 50 years, we will have our own robots help us with the housework, and the life will become easier and more comfortable. when you are free, you could fly to the moon for vacation or fly rockets to the moon. everything is possible.
last but not the least, i'd like to say that we could predict the future, and i believe with our continuous efforts, all of our dreams will come true one day. do you agree with me?
let's take action now!
What is future?Every time I look at the stars in the sky,I ask myself.It's realy a hard question to answer it.The universe is boundless,we don't know where are we from and where shall we go.I stand there,at sea.
Last Sunday,there was a rain of meteors.I went to the belcony towait for their coming.Above my shoulder,it was the wind.Above the wind,it was the sky,huge and blue,with sparkling stars.Suddenly,a shooting star appeared.I hurried to pray for her happiness,staring at it.I wanted to pray for more,but it had already died out.I realised ,future is not carved on the meteors,but it's now,around us.
When a fortune-teller look at your palm,she'll tell you how your future will be like.That's a way you place your hope on.But it's not realistic.The future is the things and people around you.What you should do is to try to do everything well,don't care much about the results.Be kind to all the people around you,and love them.Although the world is not full of love,the life is not a bed of rose,you should sdick on your belief.When time passes,you'll find everything you do is worthwhile.
Years is glorious.Because no way you can stop time from elasping.How time flies!Just like the flowers in spring,the sunshine in summer,the moon in mid-autumn and the snow in winter.Maybe one morning you'll never wake up,you'll never see the sunrise or the sunset;you'll never see your sweatheart or talk to her,you'll never hear the sound of the nature or wander on the path among the trees,you'll never swim in the lake or climb the mountains.
Time is gold.Every minute is precious.We should make best use of it.Don't waste even one minute.Spend time in working,in laughing,in playing games and in loving.
Each of us has a kite flying in the sky,and we also have a string each.
Children's kite is childhood,the string is grown.
Lovers' kite is love,the string is daily life.
I have a kite,it is called dream,the string in my hands is reality.
The wind which makes kites fly is future.Kites are not free,but we still have power to control them and let them fly higher and higher.The string is in my hands,future is now in my hands.
Future is now,forget the fortune-teller,clench your fists!
A Young Idler,An Old Beggar
Almost everyone knows the famous Chinese saying：A young idler，an old beggar. Throughout history，we have seen many cases in which this saying has again and again proved to be true.
It goes without saying that the youth is the best time of life，during which one's mental and physical states are at their peaks. It takes relatively less time and pains to learn or accept new things in a world full of changes and rapid developments. In addition，one is less likely to be under great pressure from career，family and health problems when young. Therefore，a fresh mind plus enormous energy will ensure success in different aspects of life.
Of course，we all know：no pains，no gains. If we don't make every effort to make good use of the advantages youth brings us，it is impossible to achieve any goals. As students，we should now try our best to learn all the subjects well so that we can be well prepared for the challenges that we will face in the future.
