Dear Mrs Brown，

I shall be very grateful if you will grant me my leave. I 11 try my best to make up my lessons missed during my absence as soon as I get back from leave.

Yours sincerely，

Lucy

从教至今，我听过初中各个年段的许多英语公开课，也听过许多老师对所教年段学生的评论，大家总会不约而同地得出这样一个结论：七年级的课堂学生热情似火，争先恐后回答问题，唯恐老师将他遗忘;到了八年级，学生热情虽然有所减退，但大部分学生还是能积极参与到课堂活动中，主动配合老师;而到了九年级，情况出现了戏剧性的转变：大多数学生开始“沉默是金”，有些学生即使知道也懒得回答，生怕别人嘲笑，虽经老师极力鼓励，举手发言者仍寥寥无几，因而课堂气氛较为沉闷。

难道九年级的学生就这样甘于在沉默中度过?非也。我做过一个调查，90%左右的学生还是向往轻松愉快的英语课堂的。那么，是什么使九年级英语课堂缺乏“热度”呢?怎样才能让九年级的英语课堂“热”起来呢?结合自己的英语课堂教学，对此现象进行了深刻的反思和思考。

【反思一】“热度”缺乏之原因

一、教师自身方面的原因

新课程实施以来，教师在思想上接受了新观念的洗礼，大家对新课程的基本理念已了然于心。新课程强调要从学生的学习兴趣、生活经验和认知水平出发，倡导体验、实践、参与、合作与交流的学习方式和任务型的教学途径，发展学生的综合语言运用能力，改变英语课程过分重视语法和词汇知识的讲解与传授，忽视对学生实际语言运用能力的培养的倾向。然而在实际的课堂教学中，教师是不是遵循了新课程的理念呢?还是依旧停留在纸上谈兵的阶段呢?也许很多九年级的老师会很为难地说：“唉!没办法。

学生毕竟要面临的是中考呀，大家都在争分夺秒，哪能在这个节骨眼上浪费时间呢!”的确，长期以来，许多九年级老师在中考指挥棒的压迫下，在学校追求升学率的压力下，为了省时间、赶速度，不得已以牺牲学生开口说话的机会为代价，一切向中考看齐，唯分数是重，导致课堂上老师讲得越来越多，学生说得越来越少，这严重违背了新课程“以学生为主体，发展学生综合语言运用能力”的理念。

在课堂上，老师一味地讲，学生盲目地听，久而久之，九年级的课堂气氛就沉闷起来，呆板起来。在这种氛围中，学生感觉课堂越来越枯燥无味，有些学生开始走神，有的学生甚至对英语学习失去兴趣，产生厌恶感。有时老师为了把某个知识点或语法讲得更清楚，甚至不惜使用大量的汉语进行解释，导致学生开口的机会少之又少，久而久之，学生便渐渐失去了用英语交流的愿望。

二、学生方面的原因

首先，九年级的学生较之七八年级的学生，在心理上更趋成熟。有些学生觉得自己长大了，要更加注意自己在同学心目当中的形象了。于是乎为了避免出丑，避免同学的嘲笑，他们宁可选择沉默，也不愿成为众人注目的“焦点”。有些优秀的学生虽然心里很想回答，但又害怕同学说他们喜欢卖弄，因而也选择了缄默。

其次，经过七八年级两年的学习，学生的程度也有了明显的差异。有些学生早已远远落在了大部队之后，九年级的内容对他们来说简直就是“天书”，要想这些学生开口说简直比登天还难。

【反思二】“热度”提升之方法

一、教师要改变观念，提升个人素质

语言是用来交流的，师生间没有了交流，语言也就失去了它存在的意义。教师如果一味地向中考看齐，向分数看齐，最终学生只能沦为应试教育的牺牲品，做题目的机器，在这种环境中培养出来的学生也只能是一批“哑巴”。这与新课程倡导的“培养学生的综合语言运用能力”是背道而驰的。因此为了学生的终身发展，教师必须改变这种只顾眼前利益，不顾长远发展的观念。

同时，教师应努力提高自身的素质，坚持用英语来组织教学，尽可能地为学生创造英语学习的优良坏境。教师要结合日常生活实际和学生实际精心设计语言情景，力求在课堂内对学生进行高强度的、大活动量的语言训练。在语言实践活动中，教师要注意力求使自己的英语语言规范、地道。有时也可借助体态、手势等帮助学生听懂、理解。在教师的感染下，学生也会体会到开口说英语的乐趣。一次次的开口便是一次次的动力，学生在不断开口的过程中，会产生一种成就感、自豪感，此时教师再给予适时的鼓励，那么学生下一次的开口就不会再是一个难题了。

二、建立和谐、融洽的师生关系

和谐融洽的师生关系，可以使师生之间产生一种很强的亲和力，这种亲和力可以使学生更加亲近老师，信任老师，从而教与学的双边互动就更容易开展。首先，教师要带着微笑进课堂，这样可以消除学生的紧张情绪，放松对老师的戒备。试想，如果一个老师老是板着脸，动不动就训人，学生还愿意跟他交流吗?其次，教师要多与学生谈心，了解他们的兴趣，爱好，喜怒哀乐，在他们有困难时，及时提供帮助，让他们感觉到你时时处处在关心着他们，关注着他们。那么在上课时，就能与学生打成一片。你的一个眼神，一个动作，都会激起学生一次次的参与。再次，对学生开口过程中出现的失误和错误要以宽容的态度，尽量采用温和的方式加以纠正，而不是简单地用“NO”来否定他们，这样会严重挫伤学生的积极性，使他们以后不敢开口。对一些后进生，要经常鼓励他们，要看到他们取得的进步，有时哪怕他们只能用一个单词来表达，也要给予积极的肯定。老师的肯定是一剂很好的良药，至少会让他们感觉自己不是游离在英语学习之外的“外星人”，自己还是有希望的。要允许学生有不同的观点。如果学生有不同的观点，要给予他们自由发表的空间，鼓励他们大胆地说出来，师生共同讨论，在讨论中增进师生感情，做到教学相长。那么下次学生碰到疑问，他就不会再藏在心里，而是乐于与大家探讨，这不仅使学生加深了对该知识的理解，而且活跃了课堂气氛。

三、精心设计任务，触动学生“兴奋点”

教师要创造性地设计贴近学生实际的教学活动，吸引和组织他们积极参与，触动他们的“兴奋点”。比如九年级Unit4Whatwouldyoudo?主要是学习虚拟语气的用法，如果教师纯粹地以语法讲解为主，学生肯定学得很死，也激不起任何兴趣。这时教师可采用故事接龙的形式来学习这一语法，这样既可以使每个学生参与到课堂当中，而且也可以使枯燥的语法学习更加富有趣味。

Eg.T:Isleptwelllastnight.ButifIdidn’tsleepwell,whatwouldhappen?

S1:Ifyoudidn’tsleepwell,youwouldfeeltired.

S2:Ifyoufelttired,youwouldgetuplate.

S3:Ifyougotuplate,youwouldbelateforwork.

S4:Ifyouwerelateforwork,theheadmasterwouldbeangry.

S5:Iftheheadmasterwereangry,youwouldcry.etc.

在操练的过程中，不同的学生会有不同的想法，这时他们都会争相表达自己的看法。他们的兴奋点一旦被触动，课堂气氛就可想而知了。除了语法教学，教师在单词教学时也可以运用多种方式，比如肢体语言，手势，面部表情等。笔者听过一节九年级的阅读课：I’llsendyouaphotoofLucky.授课教师在引入单词“imagine,fetch,support,donate,appreciate”等时用了手语，教师与学生一起互动，收到了意想不到的效果。

四、复习方法要多样化，防止教师唱独角戏

九年级上完新课后，面临的就是一轮一轮的复习。如果教师在复习阶段，老是发试卷，讲试卷，搞题海战术，那么三轮复习下来，学生可能做题的水平是提高了，但开口的水平可能连七年级的学生都不如了。因而在复习阶段，为了学生的发展，教师也应想尽一切方法激发学生的积极性，让他们快乐地参与到英语课堂中来，而不是教师满堂灌，一个人唱独角戏。比如在校对答案时，教师有时可以故意把答案报错，然后问问学生是否有不同的看法。这时学生马上会反应过来，然后师生一起探讨解决问题。这要比教师一个人机械地报答案，讲解效果好得多。

总之，通过多种手段，九年级的英语课堂也是可以“热”起来的。课堂“热”了，45分钟的课堂效率自然就提高了，学生的语言运用能力也就提高了，那么面对即将到来的中考，他们就显得更加自信而从容了。

时光飞逝，转瞬间紧张而又有序的一学期又要过去了。回头来看，在这一学期中，我付出辛苦，收获成功，与同事、先生一同品味了学习生活中的苦与乐，但也收获颇多。对本人的工作、学习也有一些看法。现将本学期的工作做一下总结。

本学期，我担任小学五、六年级的英语和实践课教学工作。在工作中我力求实效，对先生认真担任。按时备课、批改，带好每一个先生。在教学中我严厉服从教学的五个环节，课前认真备课，做到既备教材，又备先生，因材施教，致力实施课堂改革，踊跃探求小学英语快乐课堂，小学阶段英语教学的目的是：

激发先生学习英语的兴味，造就先生学习英语的踊跃性，使他们树立学习英语的自决心，同时造就先生一定的语感和良好的语音、语调基础，为进一步学习打下基础。在英语课堂教学中，怎么创设良好的学习氛围、激发先生的兴味是搞好小学英语教学的重要一环。

一、思维方面

本学期我坚决反对中国共产党的领导，忠实于党的教育事业，坚决听从各级领导的安排，认真贯彻国家教育教学方针政策，严厉恪守教师职业道德规范，爱岗敬业，为人师表，爱护先生，作到时时处处关怀先生，点点滴滴做先生的表率。在做到这些的同时，我还重视对先生的思维教育，教育他们爱祖国，爱民族，勾结互助，乐于助人，为先生成为一个有道德有纪律的社会主义接班人奠定基础。

二、教育教学工作

本学期，我承担了学校的英语，对于本学期的教育教学工作，我次要从以下几个方面进行总结：

（1）、教学工作。课堂教学是先生接受新知识，教师教授新知识的一个是次要渠道。在近五年的课堂教学中，我一直如一地贯彻了英语新课程标准的理念和教育局、教研室对于小学英语教学的要求，结合高效课堂教学理念，采用任务型教学的形式组织教学，以进步先生的英语学习兴味为主线，以进步先生的综合言语运用能力为次要指标，经过设计各种风趣的，贴近先生生活实际的活动来实现新知识的教授，同时，突出先生的主体位置和教师的主导位置，改变教师的角色，疏导先生自主学习，合作探索。实践证实，这种以进步先生学习兴味和综合言语运用能力为经线，以任务型教学和贴近生活实际的一系列活动为纬线编织的课堂教学网络，极大地调动了先生学习的踊跃性和自动性，创建了一个快乐高效的英语教学课堂。

（2）、学困生辅导工作

在我所教的先生当中，有一部分先生是因为家庭缘由、身体缘由、智力缘由、学习态度缘由等诸方面的要素导致学习问题不现实。于是，我在工作中，除了正常的教学之外，针对差生们出现的问题差的缘由对他们进行了多品种型的辅导，如，手拉手互助学习，小组内竞赛，小组间竞赛以加强差生的自决心，个别辅导，重点督促，与家长沟通等。通过一段时间的辅导，他们都有不同水平的提高，学习的兴味和自决心也大大进步。

（3）、教学个人业余发展

在搞好先生教育教学工作的同时，我不忘踊跃充实本人。踊跃学习国内外先进的教育教学理念，随时更新本人的教育教学方法和知识结构，及时了解英语教学的发展动态，学习本校前辈及校外优良教师的先进教学方法，始终进步本人的文明涵养和教育教学程度，为本人的教学钻研和教学创新储备力量。

与此同时，我还始终进行教学钻研，踊跃参加同教研组和各级教育行政部门组织的教研活动，踊跃撰写论文和案例，踊跃参加课题钻研，争取最大限制地与别人交流的机会，结合本人的教学实践，敢于创新，构建符合本身特征和本校先生的新的教育形式。

三、出勤方面

本学期中我致力做到出满勤、干满点，不迟到，不旷工。有事销假，到校后及时给先生补课，从没因个人私事而耽搁先生一节课。踊跃参加县、学校等各级组织的教研会议，不缺勤，不早退，不迟到。

四、教育教学工作问题

本学期，在各级领导、同事的支持下，我在教学和教学钻研方面取得了一些问题。所教班级的问题优秀，先生英语学习和信息技术的兴味始终进步，先生的综合言语运用能力失去了大幅度进步，先生的学习方法失去了改进，进步了学习的效率。部分差生端正了学习态度，明确了学习目的。在教育科研方面，因为我踊跃参加理论学习和各种科研会议及培训，我的教育教学水温和个人涵养、素质都失去了进步。

我们高一英语备课组是一个青年教师主打的团结、进取、务实、奉献、充满朝气与活力的集体。回首这一学期，我们异常忙碌，但又非常充实。我们高一英语备课组全体老师认真贯彻校领导指示，每天奋战在教育第一线上，全力以赴，使得学校的的英语自然分材教学改革翻开新的一页。本学期，我们认真完成了各项教学工作，在集体备课过程中，我们能真正做到集思广益，群策群力，资源共享，充分发挥集体的智慧，并按班级实际情况开展教学工作。工作中，大家真正体味到了教学工作的苦与乐。在此，本组就本学期的工作做一个简要的总结。

1、加强理论学习，改变教学观念。进一步认真探讨研读《理解教育论》和《自然分材教学模型》，再次研究《英语学科教学指导意见》和《普通高中英语课程标准》，并用以指导教学实践。自然分材教学在我校的开展已经取得了一定的成绩。我们组成员基本上已经转变了教学观念，变教堂为学堂，还学生学习英语的主动权，在师生的双边活动中，注重培养学生“自主·探究·合作”的精神，尽量使学生在“积累·整合”“感受·鉴赏”“思考·领悟”“应用·拓展”“发现·创新”五个方面获得发展。

2、加强备课组集体备课。备课组内资源共享，分工合作。做到统一教学和复习进度、指导教学书、课件、自学指导书等。这样教学上既有所统一，又各有特色。在每周的周一集体备课活动中，老师们就教材、教法等问题进行研究、探讨，备课组内形成了比较浓厚的研究气氛。

3、在备课组内加强听课评课活动。本学期，我们一如既往，在备课组内开展互相听课评课活动，并开出了一节以自然分材为模型的市级公开课《how life began on the earth》。通过坚持这个教学常规，保证备课组的教学质量和教师的取长补短。本学期，我组的青年老师都获得了极大的进步。

4、认真研读教材，把握好教材的深度与难度，在注重学生活动能力培养的同时，扎实抓好英语基础知识的积累。我们的绝大部分学生基础知识相当薄弱，而我们的教材内容难度又相当大，时间又相对不足，在这种情况下，我们要向四十分钟要质量，尽量简化教材，巩固基础知识。

5、开展了学生英语竞赛活动, 同学们都积极踊跃, 取得了较好的成绩。

反思与借鉴

1.要注重团体协作，鼓励个体冒尖。学科教学是一个整体，又是一个个体。作为年级的整体学科教学，每个教师应服从集体的正确安排，并团结一致，形成合力;作为个体，是教师实施课堂教学的个案活动，可以展示其个性特征和个体创造性。两者应相辅相成，有了团结协作的教师群体和富有创造性的教师个体，这个集体才能形成你追我赶、见贤思齐的动力，才能走上共同富裕的道路。我们在前者出现了疏漏。

2.既要注重教师善教，又要注重学生善学。 “善教者不如善学者。善学者，师逸而功倍;不善学者，师劳而功半。”教师专业知识的渊博、教学技艺的精湛非一日之功，且教师的可塑性到了一定程度会停滞不前。只有另辟溪径，激活学生的内在的学习因素，如勤学，善学，善悟，才能柳暗花明。我们在后者缺少了思考和实践。

总之，我们会一如既往地服从校教学方针，期待在自然分材的教学理念下有更加令人满意的突破!再次衷心祝愿我们学校教学改革取得优异的成绩!

广泛拓展，提升语文能力语文课本是语文学习的基础，读本是其有益的补充，而课外语文学习则是提升语文能力必不可少的范畴。

(一)印发课文相关资料在学习一篇课文前，我收集印发同一作家的不同作品，同一体裁或题材的不同作品，把这当作导学的重要内容，引导学生课外阅读，扩大阅读量。

(二)充分发挥阅读课的作用语文的重要内容是阅读和写作，阅读是基础，为提高阅读水平，学校每周开设了一节阅读课，在上阅读课前，我给学生讲清阅读课的重要性，阅读的要求，并且经常检查学生的阅读摘抄本，促使学生不断阅读。

(三)拓展阅读课外文言语段文言文是高考的重要部分，要求长期积累，因而我非常重视这一方面，我通过不同方式补充课外文言文语段，为了调动学生积极性，我尽量选择一些富有趣味性和哲理性的文章，鼓励学生去翻译并作为论据写入作文，使学生阅读，写作同时提高。

(四)坚持写随笔语文学习不能仅靠课堂，要利用课外，要利用生活，让学生去观察景物，叙述事情，抒写心理，流露心声，让学生记住“生活处处即语文”。同时，对学生随笔写作进行检查，选出优秀作文让全班同学交流，提高学生写作积极性。

教书育人是教师的天职，责任重大，责无旁贷，而语文教学是整个教学系统的基础，搞好语文教学不是一朝一夕就能实现的，也不是仅靠交流就能达到的，它要求我们去摸索，去深度，去拓展。

Good morning, everyone. 欢迎大家收听第七期校园英语广播，I’m Amy, 我是Amy老师。How time flies! 时间过得真快啊，我们已经开学一个多月了，大家每周都可以享受英语组的老师们准备的英语广播，Are you ready? Ok, Follow Amy and enjoy it! 准备好了吗?和Amy 一起享受吧!下面，让我们进入今天的第一个板块“Say you, say me” 说你说我。

(Music)

A: Hi, Amy, what do you want to do this weekend?

B: We want to have a barbecue. Will you go with us?

A: Sure!

Barbecue 如今是个时髦的词，约上朋友去户外烧烤野餐，既尝到了美味，又是个放松，聊天的好机会。那么这个听起来，吃起来都不错的barbecue背后有个怎样的故事呢?barbecue 来源于海地语，最初是指由树桩制成的木制平台，是人们当床用的。而barbecue 最早出现在英语之中有“床”和“烧烤架”两种意思，到了18世纪才发展成今天的“烤肉”之意。大家是不是越听越有食欲了呢?好了，选择一个风和日丽的周末和你的mom and dad 一起去barbecue 吧!不要忘了叫上Amy 老师哟!

(Music)

现在大家即将听到的是“Big big world ”, 大大的世界。这一期Amy老师要教大家一个俚语，让我们一起听听下面这个小对话吧!

A: Tom, you look very angry.

B: Yes, they think I am a black sheep, but I am a good boy!

Sheep 绵羊是性情温顺的动物，通常用来比喻善良，纯洁的人。一群绵羊中有时会夹杂一只长黑毛的绵羊，因为黑绵羊不如白绵羊值钱，所以black sheep 就比喻为无用之辈，大家明白了吗?black sheep 指人时是“无用之辈”的意思哦，大家一定要记住，千万不要闹出笑话了。

(Music)

接下来是今天的最后一个板块了，和大家一起享受英语真是一件美妙的事情，尤其是听听这首charming music, Amy 老师要推荐给大家的魅力音乐是“ Do Re Mi” 这首歌，希望大家喜欢，会唱的同学一起唱吧!

( Do Re Mi)

同学们，又到了我们有奖竞猜的时间了，今天Amy老师要分别给低年级和高年级的同学提个问题。首先，请一到三年级的同学们听好了，你们的问题是“You are a black sheep” 是什么意思呢? A. 你是只黑色的绵羊 B. 你真没用。 然后是四到五年级的同学们了，你们的题目是“请写出 black sheep 这句俚语的英文”， 请将答案交到你们的英语老师那吧。

(Music)

好了，今天的英语广播就到这了，谢谢大家的收听!See you next time

Please excuse me for the limited condition of our prison and the poor reception service. I wish the meeting a great success! Thank you all.

今学期，我担任七年级的英语教学工作，使用人教版的英语教材，通过上学期的教学，学生的知识面提高了，基础好的学生有的知识不用讲、练，基础差的学生没有兴趣，练了也不会，我很着急，不知顾哪些学生好，而新课程改革是强调课程要促进每个学生身心健康的发展，培养学生良好的品质的终身学习的能力，新课改倡导建设性学习，注重科学探究的学习，关注体验性学习，提倡交流与合作、自主创新学习，课程改革的成败关键在于教师，教师是课程改革的实施者，作为教师的我必须做好充分的准备，学习新课程改革理论，更新教学观念，迎接新课改的挑战。下面简单地回顾一下今学期所做的一些英语教学工作。

一、面向全体学生，为学生全面发展和终身发展奠定基础。

1、创设各种情景，鼓励学生大胆地使用英语，对他们在学习过程中的失误和错误采取宽容的态度。在教学过程中，每个需要掌握的知识点，我都从差生入手，使他们掌握最基本的知识的同时，注意拓宽知识面，关注优生的情况，给他们自主学习和直接交流的机会。

2、为学生提供自主学习和直接交流的机会，以及充分表现和自我发展的一个空间。

3、鼓励学生通过体验、实践、合作、探索等方式，发展听、说、读、写的综合能力。

4、创造条件让学生能够探究他们自己的一些问题，并自主解决问题。

二、关注学生情感，创造民主、和谐的教学气氛。

学生只有对自己、对英语及其文化有积极的情态，才能保持英语学习的动力并取得成绩，刻板的情态，不仅会影响英语学习的效果，还会影响其它发展，情态是学好英语的重要因素，因此我努力创造宽松民主、和谐的教学空间，做到：

1、尊重每个学生，积极鼓励他们在学习中的尝试，保护他们的自尊心和积极性。

2、把英语教学与情态有机地结合起来，创造各种合作学习的活动，促进学生互相学习，互相帮助，体验成就感，发展合作精神。

3、关注学习有困难的或性格内向的学习，尽可能地为他们创造语言的机会。

4、建立融洽、民主的师生交流渠道，经常和学生一起反思学习过程和学习效果，互相鼓励和帮助，做到教学相关。

5、加强课外辅导、个别辅导。

三、加强对学生学习策略的指导，让他们在学习和适用的过程中逐步学会如何学习做到：

1、积极创造条件，让学生参与到阶段性学习目标，以及实现目标的方法。

2、引导学生结合语境，采用推测、查阅和协调的方法进行学习。

3、引导学生在学习过程中，进行自我评价，并根据需要调整自己的学习目标和学习策略。

四、对学生进行有效的评价。

评价可以使学生认识自我，树立自信，有助于反思及调整自己的学习过程，评价或采用测验及非测验形式，平时重视形成性评价，对学生回答学习过程中的表现所改进的诚绩，及反映的情感、态度、策略某方面进行及时的评价，如有口头评价、等级评价、学生之间互相评价等方法，充分发觉学生的进步，鼓励学生自我反思，自我提高，测验以学生综合运用能力为目标，侧重于学生理解和获取信息，能力减少客观题，增加主观题，通过评价学生学会分析自己的成绩和不足，明确努力方向。

五、存在的问题

1、学生成绩不稳定，容易忽高忽低，与他们基础知识掌握不好有关，需要进一步加强训练。

2、两极分化现象仍然严重，有个别学生对英语学习兴趣不大，虽然很像用功的样子，但是实际没有专心，记忆就不牢固。需要着力培养这部分学生的英语学习兴趣。

3、写作能力上不去，课文、句型虽然会背诵会默写，但实际运用能力差，需要平时注意训练写作能力的培养。

新课程改革不是纸上谈兵，必须要与实践相结合，我将努力学习，积极进取，积极参与课程改革，在课改中不断学习，不断实践，不断反思，愿与新课程共同成长。

首先，我想说的是，我们中国人真的是很会背单词，学语法，所以，对于我们而言，似乎英文阅读是不尴尬的事情。就我 而言，我没有收到过很多专门的英语口语的锻炼，所以当我面对美国人，不得不听，不得不说，不交流的时候，我真正意识到，我以前学的都是很acamedic 的语法，包括单词，我都没有学好，我学的单词最大功用是阅读使用，和说话时候偶尔用到，即使是这样，我的美国好朋友还是说我的英语虽较比较fluent,但是不够natural,有点太academic了。

我们知道很多单词，但是没有真正熟悉这些单词的发音，这里的熟悉不是单纯知道发音是什么，而是当美国人说出来的时候，我们可以很快的识别它，我们知道其实美国人对很多单词的发音，重音，是和中国字典里音标标出来的不一样的。所以现在我想来，一个必要的做法是，背单词是一定要听录音，熟悉美国人读音，自己也要跟读，模范美国人的发音。多读，让自己的脑细胞熟悉透了这些单词，然后才能在自己需要用的时候，一下想起来，并且让美国人也能听懂自己的发音。

而且有很多生活常用单词，但考试很少用的单词，往往被我们忽略，比如黄瓜，茄子什么的。

我还觉得那些常用口语句型是一定要背的，比如900句。口语学习不单纯是个交流环境的问题。有英语环境是很好，但是，就好像新东方那个徐小平说的，这绝对是个自我学习的过程，我还是想说，背镇的很重要。我来美国快一年了，听力确实提高很快，我可以很熟悉我朋友在说什么，但是让我自己说，不论从单词语音角度，还是句子自然性角度，还是很伤自己自尊心。而且美国人很nice,即使跟朋友说话时候，你英语不好，他们不会当面笑话你，或者面露鄙夷，但是如果你英语说的并不对，但只要他们听懂，也不会纠正你。所以我觉得学英语一定要背，自己跟自己联系，还要细心，留心。

还有就是我们中国人，受汉语影响，我发现，很多中国人说英语时候对自己熟悉的语料会说的很快，而且受到明显中国汉语声调的影响，很难改的。其实说实话，我觉得慢慢的，一个一个单词说，才是我们这些只能说是英语初学人，应该把握的，一个单词一个单词，把音发清楚，养成好习惯，才真正可以在熟练的英语交流中natural，并且不犯错误。

Dear MrMs ：

Today Im writing to you to ask for a five-day leave, for Ive got cold last night with carlessness.

This morning my mother took me to see the doctor,who told me to stay in bed for some days. So I am very sorry to be absent from school, eecially your interesting lessons. Ill be sure to make up for the missed lessons after I recover from the illness.

Yours ever,

.

亲爱的妈妈：

您好!

我首先感谢您这八年来对我的关心和爱，是您让我从一个喃喃学语的婴儿成长为一名健康快乐的三年级小学生，这其中包含了您多少汗水和心血啊!

妈妈，从小您就非常痛爱我，每天晚上您都会给我讲几个故事。上学了，每天早上，您都会为我准备营养可口的早餐，送我上学。每天放学回家做作业，我有不会做的题，您都会耐心地给我讲解。而我不高兴的时，却拿您发泄，顶撞您，妈妈，就让我对您说声：“对不起，请原谅我。”

记得有一次，我的数学考试成绩不理想，很怕您会骂我，而您知道后，不但没骂我，反而鼓励我说：“别灰心，这次没考好，并不代表以后都考不好，只要你努力，一定会取得好成绩的!”听了您的这句话，当时我心里感动极了。

一年级时，我要去参加“讲故事”比赛，您每天都抽出时间指导我练习。比赛那天，您鼓励我说：“别紧张，就像平常练习那样，你一定是最棒的!”听了您的话，我大胆地走上台。那天我发挥得特别好，果真拿了奖。如果没有您苦口婆心的教导，我不会有今天的成绩。在这里，我从心底向您说声：“妈妈，谢谢您，您辛苦了!”

妈妈啊，如果您是一个贝壳，那我就是您怀抱中的一颗小小的珍珠，您用一生的心血来哺育我，用金钱也买不来啊，我是永远也忘不了您对我的恩情啊!妈妈，我一定会好好学习，争取做您心目中的好女儿。最后，我想真诚地对您说：“妈妈，我爱您!”

President pitzer Mr. Vice President, Governor, Congressman Thomas, Senator Wiley, and Congressman Miller, Mr. Webb, Mr. Bell, scientists, distinguished guests, and ladies and gentlemen:

I appreciate your president having made me an honorary visiting professor, and I will assure you that my first lecture will be very brief.

I am delighted to be here and Im particularly delighted to be here on this occasion.

We meet at a college noted for knowledge, in a city noted for progress, in a state noted for strength, and we stand in need of all three, for we meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance. The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.

Despite the striking fact that most of the scientists that the world has ever known are alive and working today, despite the fact that this Nations own scientific manpower is doubling every 12 years in a rate of growth more than three times that of our population as a whole, despite that, the vast stretches of the unknown and the unanswered and the unfinished still far outstrip our collective comprehension.

No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come, but condense, if you will, the 50,000 years of mans recorded history in a time span of but a half-century. Stated in these terms, we know very little about the first 40 years, except at the end of them advanced man had learned to use the skins of animals to cover them. Then about 10 years ago, under this standard, man emerged from his caves to construct other kinds of shelter. Only five years ago man learned to write and use a cart with wheels. Christianity began less than two years ago. The printing press came this year, and then less than two months ago, during this whole 50-year span of human history, the steam engine provided a new source of power. Newton explored the meaning of gravity. Last month electric lights and telephones and automobiles and airplanes became available. Only last week did we develop penicillin and television and nuclear power, and now if Americas new spacecraft succeeds in reaching Venus, we will have literally reached the stars before midnight tonight.

This is a breathtaking pace, and such a pace cannot help but create new ills as it dispels old, new ignorance, new problems, new dangers. Surely the opening vistas of space promise high costs and hardships, as well as high reward.

So it is not surprising that some would have us stay where we are a little longer to rest, to wait. But this city of Houston, this state of Texas, this country of the United States was not built by those who waited and rested and wished to look behind them. This country was conquered by those who moved forward--and so will space.

William Bradford, speaking in 1630 of the founding of the Plymouth Bay Colony, said that all great and honorable actions are accompanied with great difficulties, and both must be enterprised and overcome with answerable courage.

If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything, it is that man, in his quest for knowledge and progress, is determined and cannot be deterred. The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not, and it is one of the great adventures of all time, and no nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space.

Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolution, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear power, and this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be a part of it--we mean to lead it. For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding.

Yet the vows of this Nation can only be fulfilled if we in this Nation are first, and, therefore, we intend to be first. In short, our leadership in science and industry, our hopes for peace and security, our obligations to ourselves as well as others, all require us to make this effort, to solve these mysteries, to solve them for the good of all men, and to become the worlds leading space-faring nation.

We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war. I do not say that we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea, but I do say that space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around this globe of ours.

There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation many never come again. But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

It is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the Presidency.

In the last 24 hours we have seen facilities now being created for the greatest and most complex exploration in mans history. We have felt the ground shake and the air shattered by the testing of a Saturn C-1 booster rocket, many times as powerful as the Atlas which launched John Glenn, generating power equivalent to 10,000 automobiles with their accelerators on the floor. We have seen the site where five F-1 rocket engines, each one as powerful as all eight engines of the Saturn combined, will be clustered together to make the advanced Saturn missile, assembled in a new building to be built at Cape Canaveral as tall as a 48 story structure, as wide as a city block, and as long as two lengths of this field.

Within these last 19 months at least 45 satellites have circled the earth. Some 40 of them were made in the United States of America and they were far more sophisticated and supplied far more knowledge to the people of the world than those of the Soviet Union.

The Mariner spacecraft now on its way to Venus is the most intricate instrument in the history of space science. The accuracy of that shot is comparable to firing a missile from Cape Canaveral and dropping it in this stadium between the 40-yard lines.

Transit satellites are helping our ships at sea to steer a safer course. Tiros satellites have given us unprecedented warnings of hurricanes and storms, and will do the same for forest fires and icebergs.

We have had our failures, but so have others, even if they do not admit them. And they may be less public.

To be sure, we are behind, and will be behind for some time in manned flight. But we do not intend to stay behind, and in this decade, we shall make up and move ahead.

The growth of our science and education will be enriched by new knowledge of our universe and environment, by new techniques of learning and mapping and observation, by new tools and computers for industry, medicine, the home as well as the school. Technical institutions, such as Rice, will reap the harvest of these gains.

And finally, the space effort itself, while still in its infancy, has already created a great number of new companies, and tens of thousands of new jobs. Space and related industries are generating new demands in investment and skilled personnel, and this city and this state, and this region, will share greatly in this growth. What was once the furthest outpost on the old frontier of the West will be the furthest outpost on the new frontier of science and space. Houston, your city of Houston, with its Manned Spacecraft Center, will become the heart of a large scientific and engineering community. During the next 5 years the National Aeronautics and Space Administration expects to double the number of scientists and engineers in this area, to increase its outlays for salaries and expenses to $60 million a year; to invest some $200 million in plant and laboratory facilities; and to direct or contract for new space efforts over $1 billion from this center in this city.

To be sure, all this costs us all a good deal of money. This years space budget is three times what it was in January 1961, and it is greater than the space budget of the previous eight years combined. That budget now stands at $5,400 million a year--a staggering sum, though somewhat less than we pay for cigarettes and cigars every year. Space expenditures will soon rise some more, from 40 cents per person per week to more than 50 cents a week for every man, woman and child in the United States, for we have given this program a high national priority--even though I realize that this is in some measure an act of faith and vision, for we do not now know what benefits await us. But if I were to say, my fellow citizens, that we shall send to the moon, 240,000 miles away from the control station in Houston, a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall, the length of this football field, made of new metal alloys, some of which have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat and stresses several times more than have ever been experienced, fitted together with a precision better than the finest watch, carrying all the equipment needed for propulsion, guidance, control, communications, food and survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial body, and then return it safely to earth, re-entering the atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000 miles per hour, causing heat about half that of the temperature of the sun--almost as hot as it is here today--and do all this, and do it right, and do it first before this decade is out--then we must be bold.

Im the one who is doing all the work, so we just want you to stay cool for a minute.

However, I think were going to do it, and I think that we must pay what needs to be paid. I dont think we ought to waste any money, but I think we ought to do the job. And this will be done in the decade of the Sixties. It may be done while some of you are still here at school at this college and university. It will be done during the terms of office of some of the people who sit here on this platform. But it will be done. And it will be done before the end of this decade.

And I am delighted that this university is playing a part in putting a man on the moon as part of a great national effort of the United States of America.

Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, "Because it is there."

Well, space is there, and were going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set sail we ask Gods blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.

Thank you.
