学生课外阅读指导初探

第一篇：学生课外阅读指导初探

古有孔子的“韦编三绝”，有妇孺皆知的“读书破万卷，下笔如有神”。而今，吕叔湘也说：“问语文学得好的人，都说是课外看书。”可见，多读书能提高语文能力是古往今来人们的不谋而合。“新课程标准”也十分强调学生的课外阅读，重视语言积累，对学生的阅读量还做了明确的规定。因此，在平时的教育教学中，我努力倡导学生多读课外书，甚至布置了一些读书任务，然而却时常遭遇尴尬，“老师，我家没有书可看！”“老师，我忘了看。”“我不知道买什么书好。”------凡此种种，一学期下来推脱课外阅读的理由积累了一大筐，而能坚持天天课外阅读的学生是屈指可数的。由此可见，对学生的课外阅读进行悉心指导是势在必行。一．激发兴趣，增加阅读动力

在培养学生课外阅读习惯的同时就应特别注重兴趣的培养，否则只会使课外阅读陷入举步维艰的景况。记得以前我总是对学生的读书提出各种要求，如“写上自己的感受体会”“多问几个为什么，不理解的地方做上记号”“学学作者的写法”等等，岂知这些都如枷锁般套牢了孩子，禁锢了心灵，使课外阅读成了一种任务一种负担，这样的“书”读之还有趣吗？所以笔者认为，在习惯培养的初始，更多关注的是兴趣，而非急功近利的读书结果汇报。那么，该如何培养课外阅读的兴趣呢？

1．树立榜样。榜样能使学生产生向上看的心理。平时，我有意识地向学生介绍古今中外热爱读书的名人名家，利用课余时间讲一些有趣的故事传说。这些使学生在潜移默化中感受到读书的重要。当然在班中树立榜样也很有必要，因为周围的人事更具有说服力。

2．享受成功。当需要得到满足，当努力得到承认，人必会产生成功的喜悦，也更会激发做事的积极性。对于行为控制意识还不稳定的小学生来说，必须时常让他们品尝到成功的欢乐，从而让课外阅读进行到底。比如,在活动课、班队会上组织学生开展读书竞赛，与好书交朋友的故事会等。

二、创造机会，拓展阅读天地

巧妇难为无米之炊。而在农村，学生无书可读是个严峻的现实。去年，班中就有好几位学生向我借书，有位学生在日记中近乎哀求地写道：老师，您给我买本书好吗，求您了，我家很穷……。由于种种原因致使学生想读没时间读，要读没书读。

1、充裕的时间。学生常常面对这样的无奈：在校，一节接着一节的课，还得完成各项作业；在家，等到完成家庭作业已是华灯绽放。属于学生自由按排的时间太少了！所以，我们该为学生留有读书的时间，让他们走进图书室，到浩瀚的书海中遨游，使他们真正成为学习的主人。

2、充足的图书。没有图书，却要让学生大量阅读，这只能是一句空话。因此，首先要充实学校的图书室图书、班级的图书角，还可动员学生互换读物。添置的图书应力求作到品种齐全，结构合理。让不同年龄、不同水平、不同爱好的学生都有书可读，人人参与。同时也鼓励学生自买课外书，相互交流。

三、交给方法，指明阅读方向

得法者如鱼得水，无法者如瞎子点灯。课外阅读也是如此。只有交给学生阅读方法，学生读书才会受到事半功倍的效果。

1、筛选读物。由于学生由于学生年龄小,好奇心强,鉴别能力低,面对各种各样的课外读物，学生或顺手拈来就读，或为猎奇而读,甚至读了一些不健康的读物，这往往会产生负面影响。教师不但要向学生推荐课外读物,而且要教给学生如何筛选读物,要求学生选择思想健康、有益身心发展的课外读物。可选择与课文的作者、历史背景相关的故事,与课文内容、形式、写法相关的其他文章等。可选择与自己年龄特点、认知水平相符的课外读物,也可根据自己的兴趣、需要进行选择等。

2.选用方法。阅读一般包括精读、略读和速读。精读即抓住重点词句,细细揣摩,较深入地理解文章的语言文字和思想内容;略读即先看序言、提要、编辑大意和目录,以了解全文的性质、内容和规模;再阅读全文章节标题及段落首句和尾句;最后浏览全文,综述大意;速读即一要带着问题一眼一句、一行地扫读;二是看得快想得也快,脑子跟着眼睛扫读思考。学生在课外阅读时,应根据自己的阅读需要,灵活地选用适宜的阅读方法。

3.边读边想。当学生读书已成为一种习惯时，就应该让他们明白：读书不单为了休闲娱乐,更重要的是从书中能获得一点什么,这就要求学生养成边读书边思考的习惯。这也是“新课程标准”所要求的。要指导学生阅读时应专心致志,一边读一边想,考虑文章写什么,怎样写?为什么这样写?理解感受祖国语言文字的优美,同时提出疑难问题。

4.勤做笔记。单纯的阅读,对提高语文水平是很不够的,还要引导学生写读书笔记。读书笔记包括摘录优美、精彩的词句、片断,编写提纲,写读后感等。课外读物如果是自己的,还可用笔把感触较深的地方圈圈画画,也可以在文章的天头、地尾、旁边加以批注,使学生养成不动笔墨不读书的习惯。

总之,教师重视对学生课外阅读的指导是“让学生在课外阅读中起程”的关键所在。

第二篇：课外指导阅读教案

课外指导阅读教案

教学目标：

1、通过阅读和交流，使学生了解《鲁宾逊漂流记》的故事内容，并能从鲁宾逊的身上受到潜移默化的影响，学习他的顽强与乐观精神。

2、学会由表及里的阅读顺序，掌握正确的阅读方法

3、以一篇带多篇，激发学生阅读文学作品的兴趣，确立正确的阅读思想，让读书成为自己的生活习惯

教学重点：

1、掌握精读和泛读等读书方法

2、指导学生写读书笔记

教学过程：

一、说话导入

师：同学们，有人说：一个人的精神发育史就是一个人的阅读史。的确，一个孩子的健康成长除了依靠学校教育、环境影响、家庭熏陶等诸多因素外，还必须从阅读中吸纳精神营养。所以我们要充分利用课余时间多读课外书，老师在与你们聊天时发现，同学们已经具备一定的阅读能力，但有部分同学却只喜爱读图而排斥阅读文字，有些同学虽然喜爱读书，却在鱼目混珠的书海中迷失了方向；还有些同学虽然读了不少书，却因为读书方法不当而收效甚微。今天我们就来上一节阅读指导课，希望同学们能通过今天的学习在课外阅读上有所收获。

二、好书推荐

师：在我校的书香节里，给同学们推荐的一些课外阅读的书目。（课件出示）《爱的教育》、《唐诗三百首》、《东周列国故事》、《资治通鉴故事》、《岳飞传》、《杨家将演义》、《聊斋志异》、《格列佛游记》、《匹克威克外传》、《鲁滨逊漂流记》、《童年》、《希腊神话故事》、《爱丽斯漫游奇境记》、《十万个为什么》、《简爱》、《智慧背囊》、《草房子》、《青铜葵花》、《山羊不吃天堂草》、《男生贾里》、《女生贾梅》、《五（3）班的“坏小子”》、《夏洛的网》、《哈利波特》、《海底两万里》、《老人与海》、《爱心树》、《假如给我三天光明》、《柳林风声》、《读者》杂志、《世界名人传记》（少年版）„„

师：同学们，这些都是经典的好书，很适合我们阅读，我们可以从这些书中学到很多做人的道理和写作的方法。所以在玲琅满目的书店或者图书馆，我们就可以挑选这些书来阅读，而不要去选择那些充斥着暴力和黄色的书。（板书：读书有选择）在这些推荐的书目中，几乎都是小说，而且篇幅都不短，我们把它们叫做长篇小说。

据我所知，这段时间我们班的同学，特别是男孩子都迷上了《鲁滨逊漂流记》这本小说。我们今天就选《鲁滨逊漂流记》来跟同学们一起学习如何阅读长篇小说。

三、分析《鲁滨逊漂流记》，指导读书方法

1、同学们，老师手上有几个版本的《鲁滨逊漂流记》这些都能在书店或者图书馆找到，那究竟我们要选择哪种版本呢？（简单说）

2、大家拿起这本书，我们首先看到的是书的什么？（生答：封面）对了，一本书，我们首先接触的就是封面，那从封面上，我们可以知道哪些信息？

3、阅读一本书，我们可以从作者入手，了解作者，对理解故事是有帮助的。有同学去了解过作者吗？（课件出示作者简介）你们已经读完了书，结合这个介绍说说作者的生活经历与故事内容有什么关系吗?

3、读了书名，你想知道什么？

师：这是一部近十七万字的大部头的书，读完整本书再回答这些问题，同学们肯定等不及。现在，就有一个初步解决问题的好方法，那就是读“译者前言”或者说“导读”和“目录”

4、（拿书示意）请同学们快速默读前言和目录，看看你都读懂了什么？读完之后，在小组内交流交流。

5、我们来交流一下，谁先说都了解了什么？

6、对了，通过读前言和目录，我们可以知道这本书的主要内容，那谁来说说呢？（生说）

7、这就告诉我们阅读一本长篇小说前可以通过这些方法帮助自己对故事有个大致了解。下面我们共同走近这本书，跟随鲁滨逊去漂流，去探险，一定会有不少收获的。（板书：读）

8、在课前，老师已经布置同学们阅读了这本书，你们是用什么方法读完的呢？我看到有些同学还在书上做了批注。一些喜欢的句段还用不同的符号划下来了。古人云：不动笔墨不读书，好记性不如烂笔头。这些同学已经掌握了这些阅读方法，很不错！我们要向这些同学学习，读书时要边读边做批注，摘抄好词佳句，做笔记。（板书：记）下面，我们就选择三个问题来展开讨论：

（课件出示问题）

你认为主人公鲁滨逊到底是一个怎样的人？

你认为笛福在这部小说里是如何表现人物的这些性格特点的?

作品中你最喜欢的是哪部分，为什么？哪些部分你认为值得积累，可以是好词好句，可以是刻画人物的方法。这些都可以用专门的摘录本记下来。

9、讨论之后，我们对这本书就有了深入的理解。读有所感，读有所悟，我们就可以写写读后感。老师这里有一份我们最喜欢的杨红樱写的《一本男孩子必读的书》。请同学们快速的默读，看看这篇读后感是怎么写的。（学生看）（师：概括书的主要内容，接着说说自己对书中某部分最有感触部分写写体会，可以是对书中人物或者是作者的写作方法等.可以说说自己受到的教育）

四、总结阅读方法，激励广泛阅读

1.教师小结：一般文学作品都有两个重要的创作方面：一是作品中人物性格的特点，一是作者的表达方法。我们重视了这两个方面的阅读，就会收到事半功倍的效果。

2.对照这节课的阅读，回忆以前的阅读方法，你认为在今后的课外阅读中应该运用哪些阅读方法呢？请用这些方法阅读其他关于探险的书籍：（课件出示）（世界名著青少年版）

《汤姆索亚历险记》

《八十天环游地球》

《绿野仙踪》

3.结束语

读一本好书就像跟一个高尚的人对话，希望同学们每天抽出30分钟的时间阅读课外书，特别是文学名著，充实自己。

最后送给大家一首诗《阅读，终生的承诺》

阅读，终生的承诺

世界上最动人的皱眉是在读书时那苦思的刹那；

世界上最自然的一刻是在读书时那会心的微笑。

自己再累也要读书；

工作再忙也要谈书；

收入再少也要买书；

住处再挤也要藏书；

交情再浅也要送书。

最庸俗的人是不读书的人；

最吝啬的人是不买书的人；

最可怜的人是与书无缘的人。

同学们，让我们与书为伴，让阅读成为我们终生的承诺！

教学反思：

“新课程标准”十分强调学生的课外阅读，重视语言积累，对学生的阅读量也做了明确的规定。因此，在平时的教育教学中，我鼓励学生多读课外书，并布置了一些读书任务，然而却时常遭遇尴尬，“老师，看过了，我又望了。”“老师，我不知道买什么书好。”“老师，我忘了看。”针对这种现象我选择了杨红樱的作品《淘气包马小跳》中的《贪玩老爸》作为

课外阅读推荐课，因为书中的许多内容，不但结构严谨、情节动人，里面还有许多优美的语句，华丽的词藻等，语言方面的描写特别接近学生生活。

这堂课我有三个目的：

1、教学生如何去选自己喜欢看的书，合适自己看的书。

2、通过推荐一些好书，激发孩子们读课外书的兴趣。

3、会做感想式笔记，这是三年级孩子刚开始做的更高一层次的读书笔记。因此，我特设了以下环节：

一、引导学生看封面、看作者简介、看主要内容、看目录，让学生明白看封面、作者简介、主要内容、目录，是初次接触一本书时，最常用的略读的方法，这种简洁的方法也可以让你很快地挑选到自己喜欢看的书。

二、赏析人物形象，欣赏精彩片段。这是本堂课的最主要的环节，让学生进一步了解作者是如何把故事写得生动有趣的，如何刻画人物形象，达到吸引读者的眼球。

三、老师做了摘录式和感想式的笔记样本给学生看，让学生也学着老师的样子在以后的读书活动中，也可以做这两种读书笔记。最后我向孩子们展示了整套《淘气包马小跳系列》共二十本。当看到这些书时，学生的眼睛都亮起来了，甚至有些学生欢呼起来了。

从课堂实施的效果来看，教师的语言、图片都较好地激发了学生的交流兴趣，通过生生互动、师生互动，学生能够对故事中的人物说出自己的个性体验，对人物的形象进行了多角度的赏析，并能说出作者的写作方法，但由于学生的怯场、教师的激励评价的不足，学生的课堂表现不够大胆、大方，学生答题的面不够广。另一方面，由于时间比较仓促，让学生了解感想式的笔记时，只是一看而过，没能让学生也学着老师的样子，说一说自己读过的书的笔记，或者向同学推荐自己看过的书。

总之，我觉得在这堂课起码激起了学生阅读兴趣，教给学生阅读的方法，让他们去阅读，去思考，使学生从小养成阅读的良好习惯，促进学生阅读能力的发展。

第五篇：学生（本站推荐）

Development of the west region

As the full-scale development of China’s vast western regions started several years ago, much action has been taken.The western part of China consists of 9 provinces, autonomous regions and one municipality with a total land area of 5.4 million square kilometers and a population of 285 million.In order to further develop the infrastructure constructions, such as transportation, government has decided to build more roads and railways.Measures will also be taken to put the sustainable development into effect.Turning farmlands back to forests and antipollution are good ways to protect the fragile environment.Besides, making good use of its natural resources has been taken into account as well.What’s more, the development of western areas opens broad space for experts and specialists from different fields.The development of the west region is not only a long-term systematic project, but also a win-win project.I believe with optimistic economic potential, the western region will be filled with hope, chances and prosperity in the near future.I prefer reading newspapers

Obviously, the internet plays a vital role in our daily life.You can get information for free on the internet and it is hard to compete with free of charge.But I still love ink in the paper.Here’s the thing, when I go online, I feel like I just get the ice cream and cookies---too soon to feel full.But when I read newspapers, I feel like getting the full diet, and I can even have a cup of coffee to enjoy the season of light while I immerse myself in the newspaper.Furthermore, newspapers contain a wide range of information from editorial pages to features, from entertainment circles to business sectors.And we never read it completely, never straight-through but by glancing at here and there.Then you will find the stories you didn’t expect to show interest in and you are spending time reading it as the result of serendipity.Never can we deny that newspapers benefit us.But we should keep in mind that everything lives with opposing forces and no definite way is suitable for all circumstances.Whether newspapers corrupt or instruct us depends on how we use it.Choosing a University

As a matter of fact, graduates from prestigious universities are popular in job markets, so there is no one but knows the importance of choosing schools.And I prefer the northern one.First of all, it is the preferential policy with extra 20 scores that attracts me.It offers me more chances and enables me to get a better major after being enrolled.As is often mentioned in the media, in today’s job-hunting society, even some graduates of good majors could encounter many difficulties in finding an ideal job, let alone a common university graduate.Furthermore, studying in the north can provide me with a good opportunity of practicing social skills and learn to be adapted to new environment.As we all know, great social communication skills help you develop a harmonious relationship with others and these skills will go further in your later career and relationship building.The last is my personal reason, for the love of snow.Just imagine that the beautiful snow fills the sky and the earth below is as pure as an angel, which is like a gouache.All in all, I prefer the northern university not only for a better major or social communication skills, but also for the natural scenery there.Sandstorm

It is obvious in the table that the frequency of the sandstorm occurrences has undergone dramatic changes.It has dropped considerably after reaching the peak in the year 2002.The reason of the changes can be concluded in the following aspects.As the government emphasized too much on economy development in the early years, they overlooked the importance of environmental protection.The semi-dry areas became weak in resisting sandstorm and together with the lack of rainfall, sandstorm was spreading seriously vastly.Local farmers find it hard to make a living, so they end up using inefficient farming methods, which leads to soil erosion.Then the government began to shift the focus from purely developing economy to sustainable development.It carried out anti-desertification projects, including the creations of a forest belt around the deserts.With full consideration of local conditions, some local governments even decided to develop evergreen conifer to enhance the ability of wind resistance so as to case the sand floating in the air.According to the official information, China hopes to control the expansion of desert land by the year 2010 and plans to establish a protected eco-system in desert areas by 2050.It is natural that solving the problem calls for tremendous efforts, but it is worth doing because environment is to the world what skin is to a person!

TV and films

As is indicated in the graph, the number of film-goers has decreased tremendously while that of TV watchers has reached the highest level in the year 2002.Compared with 1997, the number of film-goers fell from 90 to 10 percent.This does demonstrate the fact that TV has taken the place of films in the past decades.As is known to all, with the development of science and technology, 80 percent of all homes in China have satellite TV sets offering as many as 50 channels, which has produced a great impact on our choice of entertainment during our leisure time.People intend to watch TV at home because of the comparatively lower cost and the comfortable environment.The official date also indicated that the high price of newly released movies prevented audience from going to movies more than five times per year.Though the way of spending one’s spare time is up to themselves, it pay to increase the number of film-goers because it is closely related to the entertainment industry of our country.In my point of view, cinemas can organize a publicity for the films in order to attract more potential audience or have a “distance ticket” policy for students.Taking into account all these factors, we may safely reach the conclusion that we do maintain the balance between the number of film-goers and TV watchers.The reform in university enrollment

There is a growing tendency theses years for more and more colleges to hold an interview before College Entrance Examination and the questions asked during the interview covered a wide range of domain from politics to physics.I think the root of this phenomenon is due to the trend of quality-oriented education system.As Plato said, education is not an end, but a means to an end.In other words, we do not receive education only for knowledge but to fit ourselves for life, for society.Colleges like Fudan and Jiao call for students who not only rank high in their school but also are open-mined, creative and enthusiastic.Their humanity qualities and practical skills ought to be in parallel to their command of knowledge.This is what the new age needs as all.As is clearly shown, the reform of enrolling new students aims at encouraging students’ creativity and ability.Educational departments have adopted a series of measures to urge students to take part in their own initiatives, to be ready for inquiry and to try handling business independently.In my opinion, Fudan and Jiaotong Universities are just doing the pioneering work and they show the fact that the focus of education is gradually shifted from exams to students’ abilities.About Exams

Having exams at school is generally considered as a common way of test, but is it the wisest one? Now there is a growing awareness that term paper can be another better choice.In view of the practical need of society, more and more people focus their attention on students’ ability instead of the results of their test scores.They know knowledge is not power unless it is reinforced by practice, research and study.Nothing can we get but exhausted feelings when we face thousands of tests and papers.Thus, our creativity is greatly limited.On the contrary, a form of a term paper can arouse our interest and fulfill our potentials during the discussion.Our humanity qualities and practical skills can be in parallel to knowledge.Besides, the two-week competition time guarantees the term paper a better quality and the deeper thought of the subject gives rise to students’ higher moral standard, livelier discussion and improved performance in the class.Armed with time and information, the term paper is not only a way of test but also a chance for students to “do what they can, with what they have, with where they are” according to Theodore Roosevelt.Protect Our Environment

Today, the quality of our natural environment has become an important issue.Though most of us recognize that environmental pollution has been a greatly serious problem, what we can do now is only to control the consequences and reduce the loss as much as possible.As the result of pollution, lots of plants and tree crops are destroyed by polluted air while many fish die of poisonous water and thousands of people die from eating poisoned fish.To avoid masking our face with our hands when we step into future, measures should be taken to protect our environment.Governments of many countries have established laws to protect air, forests, and see resources and try to stop environmental pollution.Actually, people are showing a real concern over the problem.For example, there is an increasingly loud voice from the public for firm action against

pollution.What’s more, people should be further educated to recognize the importance of the problems, to use modern methods of bird control, to preserve our limited natural resources and recycle our products.Let’s make our very effort and build the world as the ideal home for all of us!

Dear Mayor，I am writing to express my points of views concerning 2010 Shanghai EXPO.As the world has witnessed the great changes taken place in Shanghai, what we need to show in 2010 Shanghai EXPO is not only our improvement of economy, but also other aspects, including construction, environmental protection, etc.I feel that it would be beneficial if infrastructure construction is well-prepared.We all have a responsibility to encourage the wise usage of public infrastructure resources and to meet the needs of private industry.Taking the traffic system as an example, we can find out that a rapid and convenient traffic system is a basic assurance of economic development, whereas the rise of economic level will give traffic requirement an incentive.Thus, we can lay a solid foundation for the success of 2010 Shanghai EXPO.As you may agree that the city government can also offer an open and fair competition environment for the private sector to participate in the 2010 Shanghai EXPO.Government is encouraged to release more information to the public so that repeated investment can be avoided.And it also helps to offer great opportunities for participating countries to enter the Chinese market and conduct cooperation.I would be ready to discuss these issues with further details.Yours respectfully，Catherine

Online homework

For many years the internet has developed with the era of information explosion, which has in turn brought the process to mankind.Recently the influence of online homework has attracted much public attention.Nowadays students can take course online and hand in their homework by emailing it to teachers, which, to some extent, relieves some of the students’ heavy burden.But in other ways, in the increasing social problems which are related to it can not be ignored either.To begin with, the internet is so attractive that students who have low self-control may become obsessed to it.Thus, the online homework gives them excuses for staying online the whole night which gives rise to more serious internet addiction.Besides, people get near-sighted because of staring at the computer screen for hours.According to the official date, about 83% of the senior three students wear glasses and the number of it is increasing at an unexpected speed.Although there do exist some problems with the online work, what we should do now it to find measures to solve the problems rather than just talk about them.Just as the saying goes, we should

not stop eating for fear of being choked and I believe online homework can be a good way if it is under effective supervision and control.Dear editor，I have been reading 21st Century for years and this time, I’d like to exchange my views with you concerning people’s mental world.I could find nothing but worries when I heard that Lee YuChun’s book which is far more expensive than it is worth had sold the number of 2500 copies during the book fair this year.On no account can we ignore the social problem hidden behind the phenomenon that our citizens, especially teenagers, are becoming mentally “homeless”.They are drowned in the sea of public entertainment and they lose their judgement following the trend of running aftr their idols.As is universally acknowledged, reading enables people not only to accumulate knowledge about history, culture, etc, but also to nurture our mind and spirit.The progress of society is based on the quality of people.Thus reading proper books becomes a must for all of us.Cooking is preparing the food for our stomach;reading is preparing the food for our mind.The former requires us to mix the right flavors;the latter requires us to choose right books.I believe things are not easily changed unless we hold our ground firmly, stick to our beliefs and take moderate action.Yours respectfully，Cathy

Students’ reading preferences

Recently, reading preference of students have been brought into focus.As is shown in the chart, a striking contrast can be found.The number of students who regard popular fiction as their favorite books is three times as many as general nonfiction, let alone art and poetry.The reasons accounting for the phenomenon can be concluded in the following aspects.To begin with, the past ten years have witnessed the development of our educational system.As a result of setting up more and more libraries, students are able to widen their scope of knowledge and broaden their views.Accompanied by the growing tendency of reading, there comes another problem that students turn a blind eye to the choices of their books.Instead of being considered as a friend, books gradually become a way of entertainment and relaxation.Therefore, popular fictions win more and more popularity.Besides, with parents’ exerting burdens on their children, students get bored with education.It stand to reason that they need books not for learning but for relieving their burdens.Hence, popular fictions take the place of literature and establish themselves as the top choice of students.It may be confirmed that reading makes a full man.But we should also hold the belief that “Books, like friends, should be few and well chosen.”

Dear fellow students and teachers’

It is my great honor to stand her and deliver a speech concerning running for chairman of the Student Union.As a member of the social volunteering team, I have accumulated quite a lot of experience

and social skills, which are regarded as “essential points for the post.Besides the experience, on no account can we ignore the candidate’s personality and other abilities ranging from subject learning to communication skills.With full realization of the importance of teamwork, I feel it deep that the cohesion of a union lies in the chairman’s strong determination to take firm steps towards achieving objectives while the advance of a union lies in every member’s sincerity and contribution.If I am elected, I believe I have the capability to lead the Student Union in a right direction and I will take active measures, such as “strengthening the relationship between other schools and us” and “building a bridge between teachers and students”, etc.So, my wise friends, please give me a chance and I will return you a surprise.Thank you.Catherine

Nowadays, there is a heated debate on whether young people should be engaged in the competition show or not.The problems of young people’s being eager for fame have even raised a lot of concern about the young generation’s right philosophy.With the popularity of the competition show stars, such as Li Yu Chun, more and more young people regard it as a means of achieving fame and wealth.They turn a blind eye to the hard and tiring training work behind their dazzling display and they overlook the fact that, for every coin of their hard-earned money, they have spend huge amount of time and effort.The truth hidden behind the competitive shows remains unknown until the young people give up their study courses to enter their dreaming world.They may feel regretful for not listening to their parents’ advice but time can not be turned back any longer.What they can do it only to encourage themselves to face the unknown future.As a matter of fact, we can not stop eating because of choking ourselves and we need to know that one-night fame does exist not around us.We live in a country with democracy---where people can pursue their dreams, and turn their ideas into enterprises.What if measures are take to prevent young people from being absorbed in the competition show?

An unforgettable person

To sort through my past for the many wonderful gifts of encouragement, of understanding, of listening and of good advice, is to acknowledge the many people who have given me a hand along the way;Sarah, a friend from Australia stands out as a special person in my life.Time traces back to the year 2006 when I was a visiting student to Australia and Sarah, my home stay, developed a good friendship with me and helped me get through my dark time.Though the sun in Darwin lit up the whole city, it couldn’t light up my spirit.I went to classes and joined personal-growth groups, pretending that I was happy and enjoyed my stay there.But actually, nobody knew I once hesitated, struggled, feared and doubted like any ordinary girl who came to a completely new country would do, except her.I will never forget the day when we had a long talk.Sitting in front of the quiet sea, she relieved my burdens, eased my homesick and explained the culture difference to me.I was no longer empty;instead, I committed myself to the new country wholly and completely.I was gradually adapted to the new environment and besides, owned a true friend.As the poem goes “ A friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift.A friend is someone we treasure for our friendship is a gift.A friend is someone who fills our lives with beauty, joy and grace.”

She is an unforgettable person of mine not only for her being my beacon ever shining so brightly when I was lost and couldn’t see the light, but also for her making the whole world I live in a better and happier place.Opinions about key schools---by Jin Jing

Are key schools fair? Now some negative impact on students challenges the long existing “key school and key class” system in China’s high schools.The system dates from the middle of the 1900s when new China was thirsty for talents to rebuild our nation.Thus most promising students gathered together to be taught by good teachers and studied in a better learning environment.The system produced outstanding students, but it also has a negative psychological impact on students.In many schools, high exam scores are the only passport to key classes.Under such great pressure, some students even committed suicides.As the old saying goes “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, some students in key classes are less healthy due to their sparing no effort in improving their study.Classmates there treat each other as competitors, and trusted friendship can hardly survive in such tough environment.In my point of view, students should be treated equally.Schools shouldn’t be just a place to receive knowledge but also to learn to be a qualified social member.Each student has equal access to education, both for his or her future and for that of our country’s.A valuable experience

When it comes to “a valuable experience”, what occurs to me is the time I spent on Phillip Island.Situated near Melbourne, it is regarded as a famous tourist destination that attracts more than one million people a year.Thinking of seeing lovely penguins, I couldn’t stop being excited.I, together with three other exchange students, hiked up a road and cut into the woods along an overgrown trail.I felt great to be out in the late sunrise, tramping through woods that echoed with birdcalls.As the day wore on, our initial excitement decreased as our legs began to feel tired.The night fell.Our passion was lit up when Jackie suddenly shouted, “Oh, see the house with the shape of seashell!”

We made our way to the house, only to find there had already been so many tourists, waiting eagerly along the coast with their heavy jackets on.We began to feel chilly as we only wore T-shirts.To make things worse, the heavily blowing wind and our upset stomach made out wait a torturing trial.Some tourist left, but never would we!

“Look, there is one!” Connie cried out, pointing out at the sea.We could find nothing but great joy when we saw the penguin reach the shallow water and waddle to the shore.In case that we frighten the penguin, we were forbidden to use our camera to record the exciting scene.But the penguins waddling clumsily here and there will always stay in mind, reminding me of having such a valuable experience which helps to weave my life into a pattern whose end is beyond sight.School life

My whole life is a process of traveling.I came out at the first gleam of light, and pursued my journey through the wildness of the world, leaving my track on undless paths.Schools, established as one of the most important stops, is a stage of my mind rather than a period of my life.Lucky as I am, teachers try a lot of methods to stimulate us to use our initiative and think more actively.Organized in an enjoyable atmosphere, class usually provides us with more than we have expected.Further more, teachers have also worked hard to make us see that learning is not just memorizing or repeating, instead, it is a way of adapting ourselves to the competitive society.However, as the Chinese educational system dedicates, scores still play a vital role in our school life.Despite teachers’ effort, the world of pronouns still remains a mystery to us.How we wish there is a way to make the study of subjects as exciting as a computer game!

Times flies as I am a senior three student.School life is completely occupied by homework papers, and pressure.All these add to a great barrier for me to find my own path.Sitting in the classroom, leaning against the wall, I was lost in dozens of papers and I found it hard not to replay the day and revisit the tension.I opened the window, hoping the coolness would ease my frustration and aching stomach.“Whatever exists is reasonable”.The saying suddenly occurred to me when I looked deep at the sky.It is so true.The barrier is worth climbing over.The path is worth following.It is the most distant course that comes nearest to me, and that training is the most intricate which leads to the utter simplicity of a tune.“S” is for the sunshine that lights up my sky.“C” is for the class that provides me with intelligence.“H” is for the heart of the purest gold.“O” is for the optimistic attitude we cultivate.“O” is for the teachers’ opening a bright future for us.“L” means lucky, and lucky I met all the teachers and friends.Put them all together, and that’s what schools mean to me.About the Olympics

Since the Spring Festival, what has impressed me most is the Olympic news and the torch relay called “ a harmonious journey.”

The clock is ticking, the excitement is building.The torch is on the way.It seems hard to believe, but after so many years of waiting, the Olympics are finally within sight.Feeling the flame forever burn, the whole nation is united in hope and pride.I know that there lies a magi spark deep within each heart that rekindle the fire of our imagination.Since the birth of man, the strength of the word “ I can” has brought together people of all nations, of all colors.As the Olympic creed goes, the most important thing in the Olympic Game is not to win but to participate, just as the most important thing in life is not triumph but fight for hope.The essential part is not to have conquered but to have lived to the fullest.Backed with this belief, Beijing is sure to hold an ever-successful Olympic Games, adding another brilliant touch to the Olympic history.Carrying the weight of a nation of 1.3 billion people’s reputation on its shoulder, Beijing is under great pressure;in the mean time, the great city is creating a marvelous honor engraved on everyone’s memory.The Olympic Spirit

2008 is a big year for all the Chinese, when the Olympics are held in our dear mother land.However, some vicious-minded people attacked the torch relay, which turned out to be an insult of not only the Olympic spirit, but of the civilization of the whole human race.In face of the interruption, Jingjing didn’t panic, instead, she hole the torch as tightly as she could, which depicted a beautiful picture of her bravery against the ugly action.The physically-challenged Chinese girl showed the world her courage and the desire for peace, where the spirit of the Olympics lies.The story of Jing really moved every person.As a person faced with physical challenge, she presented a never-give-up attitude towards life, and the determination to achieve her value.As a human being, Jing’s behavior well represented the Olympic spirit.Jing also gave us a remarkable lesson of life.Keeping moving, whatever difficulties you come across;be brave and stay calm however tough the situation is;make your own effort for your country and world peace!No doubt, her brilliant smile will remain to be a driving force to push us to another altitude.
