通过写周记提高中学生的英语写作能力

在目前的英语教学中, 英语写作是学生相对薄弱的一个环节, 而且很多学生惧怕写作。学生在英语写作中主要存在无话可写、用汉语思维方式写作、语法错误百出等问题。本人认为此种现象出现的主要原因是：中学英语教学严重忽视写作训练。为了提高学生的英语写作水平，我觉得让学生写英语周记是很有效的方法。

高中学生已有一定的基础知识，这时完全可以让学生自己写点东西，培养学生的写作能力。学生通过写周记，可以复习旧知识；通过老师批改周记，学生订正错误，无疑学生在语法方面会有很大的进步。学生写周记的过程中，必然会遇到生词、生句，学生就会问同学、问老师、“问”词典。学生对自己所想要表达的单词、句子印象会特别深，日积月累，学生的词汇量就大大增加了。学生写周记----教师批改周记----学生看批语过程是师生间进行思想和情感交流的过程，周记里学生会告诉老师他的喜悦、他的烦恼，这样师生间的距离拉近了，感情加深了，学生对老师有了深厚的感情，自然就乐于学英语。

根据我的做法，我觉得要让学生写好周记，作为老师，应该注意以下几点：

一、让学生养成用英文写周记的习惯。

写作难首先难在无话可说，“问渠哪得清如许，为有源头活水来”。教师应该鼓励学生积极地去感悟生活，用心体验和感悟身边的人和事，然后将体验和感受用英语表达出来。写周记贵在坚持，要养成习惯，切忌三天打鱼两天晒网。开头可能会很艰难，教师应该要求学生用周末的空闲来完成一篇英语作文，内容可以不限，题材不限。有的学生实在不会写，可以让他们去抄一篇自己认为比较好的范文，学习别人如何写作。同时教师可以放低要求，只要学生用心去写了，就给与肯定，最大限度的调动学生的积极性，只要学生坚持下去，就会慢慢“上手”，感觉越来越容易，兴趣就会越来越高，效果也就越来越明显。

二、通过供给语言材料，帮学生扫除障碍

学生写周记的内容大都离不开学校内外的一些活动，但往往因为词汇量不足，表达时不能得心应手。这时需要老师做个有心人，及时补充他们可能用到的词。比如：举办

运动会，参观名胜古迹，纪念五四运动，庆祝国庆，迎元旦，看电影，看展览及一些重大的国际国内活动等常用的词汇。这样学生写起来就顺手了，更能表达他们的“要讲之言”。

三、从基本句型训练入手，指导学生造出规范性句子

刚进入高中的学生，英语书面表达能力一般较差，所以刚开始写英文周记，大部分学生不是满篇的Chinese English，就是词汇的随意凑合。为了克服这一毛病，要从抓基本句型训练入手，指导学生进行造句训练。英语的基本句型有五种:1.S+V。2.S+V+C。

3.S+V+O。4.S+V+O+O。5.S+V+O+C。几乎所有的英语句型都是在这五种基本句型基础上扩大、延伸和变化。我要求学生每次在写周记之前，先就自己要写的内容，用五种基本句型组合句子，写成大意，再组成短文。如记一次大扫除，可以先造出如下句子:

1． It was the fourth Friday of this month.(S+V+C)

2． We cleaned our classroom.(S+V+O)

3． Some students moved the desks and chairs.(S+V+O)

4． Others mopped the floor.(S+V+O)

5． Our monitor and I cleaned the windows.(S+V+O)

6． We worked two hours.(S+V)

8． We gave our classroom a thorough cleaning.(S+V+O+O)

9． We saw the classroom bright and clean.(S+V+O+C)

10． We were happy.(S+V+C)

在此基础上，再加上适当的过渡词或连词，就可以连接成为一篇基本合乎文法要求的英文周记了。

在加强基本句型训练的同时，还要指导学生注意英文遣词造句的规律和习惯。如写“梅州发生了巨大的变化”，一般不说“Meizhou has happened great changes.“而应说:”Great changes have taken place in Meizhou.” 教师对这些问题要给学生多做分析，归纳对比。

四、用写短评的形式来提高学生的英文写作能力。

由于学生生活相对单调，学生写了一段周记之后，部分学生又会觉得无事可记，没有话可说。此时老师可以给学生提供一些与时事或日常生活相关的材料，让无事可记的学生去写出简短的评论，此类话题具有很强的现实性，能诱发学生的写作兴趣，使他们

有话可写、有感而发。写短评不仅有效解决了“无话可写”的问题，还能增强学生们的信心，使他们的写作能力和技巧得到充分的锻炼和提高。

高中英语新教材中有很多与现实生活贴近的话题，教师可以就这些话题让学生用短评的形式在作文中写下自己的看法。如在学习高一必修（3）Health eating 这一单元时，笔者让学生以“My view on health eating”为题写短评。学生们各抒己见，写出了不少有见地的文章来。

除了教材中的话题外，教师还可以从广播、电视、报纸等媒体上寻找热点话题或时事，让学生写下自己的意见。这样一来，平时两耳不闻窗外事的学生有了接触现实的机会，拓宽了他们的视野和知识面，提高了写作技能，也培养了他们的思维能力和判断能力。

五、批改周记要有针对性

虽然批改一篇周记要花很多时间，但是作为教师还是要坚持认真批改每一本，针对每个同学的具体情况提出不同的要求：

对于基础较差的学生，要求他们基本做到用词得当，句子结构正确，语法规范，没有拼写错误等等。这样适当放宽要求，有利于基础较差的学生克服畏难心理。同时还要不失时机地加上鼓励性评语，使学生增强信心。例如，一位学生在一篇周记上只写了: Yesterday I played basketball.I and my classmates played very well.We had a good time yesterday.我在纠正其中的错误之后，给了他这样的评语: Your weekly journal is not bad,并表示: I am glad that you had a happy day.接着提出问题:

Please answer my following questions:

What day was yesterday ?

Did you have any classes at school ?

What time did you go to play basketball ?

Who did you play with

How did you play?

Were they glad to play with you ?

学生显然受到鼓励,周记发下后立即根据我的提问回答:

It was Saturday yesterday.We had no classes at school„We had a lot of fun in our weekend.回答完之后,学生高兴地发现自己居然写成一篇稍为像样的短文了。

对于程度较好的学生，我则要求他们在遣词造句符合英语习惯、语言通畅，并提出更高要求。如：“Your work is well done, But it will be better if you keep it clean and tidy / pay attention to your spelling.”“It’s good to be correct.But it’s good to be correct.But it’s also important to use your own words and try to think in English.”

对中等生的作业, 教师应多一点督促.如:“I’m sorry you have made the mistake again, Don’t so careless.”“Are you working hard these days?”同时评语还应涉及学生学习和生活的方方面面,表达形式多样化,可以是词汇、句子，也可以是三言两语的描述和随感、提问。如：“What a good idea!”“Don’t you think you are not listening carefully enough in class recently?”“If you read more you can understand better.”有时也可以写上一句谚语,如：“No pains no gains.”“Where there is a will there is a way.”这些话语都能很好地鼓励学生, 从而增强学生的自信心,进而提高学生的学习兴趣,使学生由被动的“要我学”转变为主要的“我要学”, 同时也能提高他们的写作能力。

六、采用灵活多变的方法进行批改

批改是促进学生能力发展的重要环节。可以采用如下方法:

1．教师当面批改与课堂讲评相结合。对语言错误较多的学生，教师可当面批改。对于学生在周记中提到的学习和生活中的问题，也可以找学生当面沟通，帮助他们解决问题。对普遍性毛病，则及时在课堂上讲评，并让学生纠正

2．学生自改。有些毛病只要稍加提示，学生就可以自行改正。这些就让给学生自改。如一周记中出现若干时态方面的错误，我便给予提示:There are some mistakes about the English tenses.Find them out and correct them.或者在错误的地方划上红线，加个问号。由于这些问题难度不大，一经提示，学生便能给予正确的修改。

3．表扬鼓励。每次选择2至3篇写得较好的周记在班上评讲，起到表扬鼓励，激发写英文周记的积极性的作用。

第二篇：英语周记

A few day of ago, Miss Hu asked some of us who were going to have the interview to write a PPT which as an introduction of ourselves.Although I didn’t write it, but I still got a lot of inspirations from it.I think that most of us, including me, still have to adjust to the new role now.I think we are lack of learn ability.We are not conscious of the importance of innovation ability.We can’t rich ourselves just when it is needed.It occurred to me that when we first got to NanChang city, we are criticized by the Manager.The reason was that he asked us to learn how to install and use the software but we just ignored it and did something else.We thought that it was the same as to what we did in QingDao city.We thought we just need to sit in the room and wait for someone to teach us.In fact, we took it for granted.It was just a tiny example.We must try to find the best way to enhance our efficiency.It was our duty.We know that Miss Hu was so anxious for seeing the improvement of us.We can see that from what she said in the QQ and what she wrote in the sina Weibo.We also want our department to become stronger and stronger.Beside the hard work, I think communication is also important and necessary.We open our heart to each other and discuss together.The GSC department does not belong to a single person.Its development depends on us.

第三篇：英语周记

Passage 16 New York May Never Win Its War on Rats Video of rats scampering across a New York City restaurant floor may have disturbed viewers worldwide but some experts say the rodents are less dangerous than other creatures drawn to restaurants — humans.The video broadcast on television a week ago showed rats running wild at a KFC/Taco Bell restaurant just one day after the outlet had passed a city Health Department inspection.It took a bite out of the share price of parent company Yum Brands Inc.and forced a city Health Department shake-up that removed the inspector who conducted the review from duty and led to 13 more restaurant closures on Thursday.The owner of the KFC/Taco Bell franchise, ADF Companies, has closed 10 of its restaurants until they pass inspections, and the city closed three other restaurants because of unsanitary conditions or mice, the Health Department said.Yum Brands on Friday hired an urban pest control expert to review standards at its New York City restaurants.The Health Department warned that greater threats to public health include restaurant employees who fail to wash their hands or food stored at improper temperatures.One epidemiologist agreed.Still, the incident reinforces New York’s reputation of having a more severe rat problem than other big cities.New York’s crowded quarters force restaurants to store trash indoors until it can be collected, providing rats with an indoor food source.In addition, New York’s real estate boom means construction is pervasive, scattering rats to a wider geographic area.Passage 17 Beauty Industry With a bit of “physical preparation” — artificial breast implants, a nose job and a little trimming of fat from the hips — you too can aspire to be Miss World.So says Venezuela’s latest candidate for the world beauty contest.Andreina Prieto admitted that were it not for the help of cosmetic surgery, she probably would not have made the line-up.The raven-haired 19-year-old was chosen from among 40 other contestants to represent the South American country at the Miss World competition in South Africa.Prieto, wearing a blue bikini, told reporters that prior to entering the competition, she had three separate operations: one to improve the shape of her nose, a liposuction to remove fat from her hips and breast implants.“If it wasn’t for that, I probably wouldn’t be here,” she said.She displayed a brilliant smile, but did not say if that too was the result of surgery.Oil-rich Venezuela takes the beauty industry very seriously and has gained a reputation as a “factory” of international beauty contest winners.Venezuelan women have won five Miss World titles and four Miss Universe crowns.A private company, the Miss Venezuela Organization, specializes in preparing candidates for the Miss World and Miss Universe contests, and spends around $72,000 on each contender, in clothes, diets and, of course, cosmetic surgery.Passage 18 Population Growth The growth of population during the past few centuries is no proof that population will continue to grow straight upward toward infinity and doom.On the contrary, demographic history offers evidence that population growth has not been at all constant.According to paleoecologist Edward Deevey, the past million years show three momentous changes.The first, a rapid increase in population around one million B.C., followed the innovations of tool-making and tool-using.But when the new power from the use of tools has been exploited, the rate of world population growth fell and became almost stable.The next rapid jump in population started perhaps 10,000 years ago, when mankind began to keep herds, plow and plant the earth.Once again when initial productivity gains had been absorbed, the rate of population growth abated.These two episodes suggest that the third great change, the present rapid growth, which began in the West between 250 and 350 years ago, may also slow down when, or if , technology begins to yield fewer innovations.Of course, the current knowledge revolution may continue without foreseeable end.Either way — contrary to popular belief in constant geometric growth — population can be expected in the long run to adjust to productivity.And when one takes this view, population growth is seen to represent economic progress and human triumph rather than social failure.Passage 19 Food and Health The food we eat seems to have a profound impact on our health.Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat.Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon.Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures.That food is related to illness is not a new discovery.In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer.Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things in the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.The additives which we eat are not all so direct.Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons.The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market.Although the Food and Drug Administration(FDA)has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.Passage 20 UK Urged to Update Copyright Laws The UK is currently using copyright laws that are more than 300 years old.Ministers in the United Kingdom are being urged to modify copyright laws to allow users to be able to legally rip CDs and DVDs for personal use.The Institute for Public Policy Research(IPPR)wants users to have a “private right to copy” digital content.The IPPR acknowledged that the music and film industries are justified in battling illegal file sharing.But the IPPR argues that making copies for personal use does not have significant impact on copyright holders.Millions of Britons are violating current copyright laws by ripping CDs onto their MP3 players and /or PCs.Currently, Britons are violating an outdated 300-year-old law when copying CDs and DVDs.The British Phonographic Institute has already stated that it will not pursue its rights to bring private copying cases against users if the copying truly is for private purposes only.An independent research study reports that around 59 percent of Britons believe copying CDs and DVDs to other devices is legal.The chairman of the culture, media and sport select committee inquiry admits that he and his children are in violation of the law.“My own view is that the current laws are unsatisfactory as it is difficult to say to consumers that this bit of the law matters and this bit doesn’t matter,” Conservative MP John Whittingdale said.Passage 21 A Growing Number of American Men Get Alimony Across the country, a growing number of divorced men are getting alimony from their former wives.While far more women receive alimony than men, divorce lawyers estimate that 5% to 10% of their male clients now get such payments, up from only 3% five years ago.Men seeking financial support from the rich and famous ex-wives have made headlines in recent years.But the ranks of ex-husbands getting alimony from their former spouses now are as likely to include the guy around the corner who gets a monthly check from an ex-wife whose bank account is fatter than his.“Women are getting better, higher-paying jobs at the same time that men’s wages are decreasing,” says Kathryn Rettig, a sociologist at the University of Minnesota, explaining why the number of men receiving alimony is increasing.She adds，“If women want equality under the law, they have to take the responsibility for supporting dependent spouses.”

Like women, men are being awarded alimony for a few years as compensation for putting their wives through college or graduate school or for following transferred spouses around the country.And, like women, men are persuading judges to award them alimony indefinitely if they are sick or disabled or have stayed home to raise children.In out-of-court settlements, high-income women are even agreeing to pay alimony to their ex-husbands instead of giving them some property because alimony is tax-deductible.Passage 22(92)Rainbow I wonder if there is any girl or boy who does not like to see a rainbow in the sky.It is so beautiful!There is a fairy tale saying whenever you see a rainbow you should run at once to the place where it touches the ground, and there you would find a pot of gold.Of course, it is not true.Neither could you find the pot of the gold, nor could you ever find the rainbow’s end.No matter how far you run, it always seems at a great distance.A rainbow is not a thing which we can feel with our hands as we can feel a flower.It is not solid, for it is only the effect of light shining on raindrops.The light from the sun shines on the rain as it falls to the earth.The raindrops catch the sunlight and break it up into all the wonderful colors which we see.It is called a rainbow because it is made up of raindrops and looks like a bow.That is also why we can never see a rainbow in a clear sky.We see a rainbow only during showers or storms, only when there is still rain in the air and the sun still shines brightly through the clouds.Every rainbow has many colors which are arranged in the same order.The first or the top color is always red, next comes orange, then yellow and green, and last of all the blue and deep blue or violet.A rainbow is indeed one of the wonders of nature.Passage 23 Gratuitous Gratuities Everybody loathes it, but everybody does it.A recent poll showed that 40% of Americans hate the practice.It seems so arbitrary, after all.In America alone, tipping is now a $ 16 billion-a-year industry.Consumers acting rationally ought not to pay more than they have to for a given service.Tips should not exist.So why do they? The conventional wisdom is that tips both reward the efforts of good service and reduce uncomfortable feelings of inequality.The better the service, the bigger the tip.Such explanations no doubt explain the purported origin of tipping.In the 16th century, boxes in English taverns carried the phrase “To Insure Promptitude”(later just “TIP”).But according to new research from Cornell University, tipping no longer serves any useful function.The paper analyses data from 2,547 groups dining at 20 different restaurants.The correlation between larger tips and better service was very weak: only a tiny part of the variability in the size of the tip had anything to do with the quality of service.Customers who rated a meal as “excellent” still tipped anywhere between 8% and 37% of the meal price.Tipping is better explained by culture than by economics.In America, the custom has become institutionalized: it is regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service.In Europe, tipping is less common.In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on at all.How to account for these national differences? Look no further than psychology.According to Michael Lynn, the Cornell paper’s co-author, countries in which people are more extrovert, sociable or neurotic tend to tip more.Tipping relieves anxiety about being served by strangers.Passage 24 Football Team’s Only Game Was Drugs They looked like a real football team — with snarling coach included.But the 10 men arrested at the weekend in Spain’s southern province of Cadiz were not going to play a match, despite their yellow and blue kit.They were drug traffickers who used their footballs, knapsacks and club strips, emblazoned with the team name of a local town, Guillen Moreno CF, as a ruse to fool border police as they passed from the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, in North Africa, to Algeciras, on the southern Spanish mainland, a police spokesman in Cadiz said.The fake team would usually cross the Straits of Gibraltar into the province of Cadiz on Saturday afternoons with the hash tucked beneath their jerseys and stage a drama to enhance their credibility before border agents.The supposed manager, 49, would carry a roster in his hand and continuously bark at the young men “Everybody pay attention, everybody stay right here!” and “Come on, follow me!”.The players would cross back to Ceuta on Sundays after the fictional match and actual drug sales in Spain.Police do not know how long the fake season lasted before a tip spurred an investigation.The game ended when officers stopped their cars in Cadiz and found a total of 16kg of hash hidden beneath the men’s strips in little pellets taped to their bodies.Passage 25(93)Sleep Sleep is a part of a person’s daily activity cycle.There are several different stages of sleep, and they too occur in cycles.If you are an average sleeper, your sleep cycle is as follows.When you first drift off into slumber, your eyes will roll about a bit, and your temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing will slow and become quite regular.Your brain waves slow down a bit too, with the alpha rhythm of rather fast waves predominating for the first few minutes.This is called stage 1 sleep.For the next half hour or so, as you relax more and more, you will drift down through stage 2 and stage 3 sleep.The lower your stage of sleep, the slower your brain waves will be.Then about 40 to 60 minutes after you lose consciousness you will have reached the deepest sleep of all.Your brain waves will show the large slow waves that are known as the delta rhythm.This is stage 4 sleep.You do not remain at this deep fourth stage all night long, but instead about 80 minutes after you fall into slumber, your brain activity level will increase again slightly.The delta rhythm will disappear, to be replaced by the activity pattern of brain waves.Your eyes will begin to dart around under your closed eyelids.This period of rapid eye movement lasts for some 8 to 15 minutes and is called REM sleep.It is during REM sleep period that your body will soon relax again, your breathing will grow slow and regular once more, and you will slip gently back from stage 1 to stage 4 sleep — only to rise once again to the surface of near consciousness some 80 minutes later.Passage 26 Face and Fortune Recently, at the instigation of my publisher, I had some photographs taken.I do not enjoy the process of being photographed.However, after I compared the new photograph with one taken twenty-five years ago, my feminine vanity suffered.My first instinct was to have the prints “touched up”.As I thoughtfully considered the photographs, I knew that a still more important principle was involved.A quarter century of living should put a great deal into a woman’s face besides a few wrinkles and some unwelcome folds around the chin.In that length of time she has become intimately acquainted with pain and pleasure, joy and sorrow, life and death.She has struggled and survived, failed and succeeded.She has lost and regained faith.And, as a result, she would be wiser, gentler, more patient and more tolerant than she was when she was young.Her sense of humor should have mellowed, her outlook should have widened, and her sympathies should have deepened.And all this should show.If she tries to erase the imprint of age, she runs the risk of destroying, at the same time, the imprint of experience and character.I know I am more experienced than I was a quarter century ago and I hope I have more character.I released the pictures as they were.Passage 27(94)Readers Reveal Stuff of Dreams Psychologists have confirmed what writers have always believed: that books are literally the stuff of dreams.A survey has confirmed that readers of Iris Murdoch or JK Rowling are more likely to have bizarre dreams than people deep into a history of the crusades.People with a taste for fiction experienced dreams that contained more improbable events, and their dreams were more emotionally intense.The survey also found that people who read thrillers were no more likely to have nightmares.But those with a weakness for science fiction were rather more likely to wake up suddenly with a cold sweat.According to Mark Blagrove of the University of Wales, the study is perhaps the first experiment to determine a link between the waking world and dreams.Dr.Blagrove and colleagues distributed 100,000 questionnaires about sleep patterns and literary tastes, and got more than 10,000 replies.They found that 58% of all adults had experienced at least one dream in which they were aware they were dreaming — and that women could recall more dreams than men.Older people seemed to dream less and have fewer nightmares.About 44% of children said their dreams were affected by the books they had been reading.Children who report reading scary books have three times the number of nightmares as children who don’t.Passage 28 Andrew Carnegie Andrew Carnegie, known, as the king of steel, built the steel industry in the United States, and, in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in America.His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were reducing their investments.Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society.He opposed charity, preferring instead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves.“He who dies rich, dies disgraced, ” he often said.Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history.He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie Mellon University.Other philanthropic gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie’s generosity.His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus of the public library system that we all enjoy today.Passage 29 Princess Diana What was it about Diana, Princess of Wales that brought such huge numbers of people from all walks of life literally to their knees after her death in 1997? What was her special appeal, not just to British subjects but also to people the world over? A late spasm of royalism hardly explains it, even in Britain, for many true British monarchists despised her for cheapening the royal institution by behaving more like a movie star or a pop diva than a princess.To many others, however, that was precisely her attraction.Diana was beautiful, in a fresh-faced, English, outdoors-girl kind of way.She used her big blue eyes to their fullest advantage, melting the hearts of men and women through an expression of complete vulnerability.Diana’s eyes, like those of Marilyn Monroe, contained an appeal directed not to any individual but to the world at large.Please don’t hurt me, they seemed to say.She often looked as if she were on the verge of tears, in the manner of folk images of the Virgin Mary.Yet she was one of the richest, most glamorous and socially powerful women in the world.This combination of vulnerability and power was perhaps her greatest asset.Passage 30 A Greek to Remember Diogenes was a famous Greek philosopher of the fourth century B.C., who established the philosophy of cynicism.He often walked about in the daytime holding a lighted lantern, peering around as if he were looking for something.When questioned about his odd behavior, he would reply, “I am searching for an honest man.”

Diogenes held that the good man was self-sufficient and did not require material comforts or wealth.He believed that wealth and possessions constrained humanity’s natural state of freedom.In keeping with his philosophy, he was perfectly satisfied with making his home in a large tub discarded from the temple of Cybele, the goddess of nature.This earthen tub, called a pithos, and formerly been used for holding wine or oil for the sacrifices at the temple.One day, Alexander the Great, conqueror of half the civilized world, saw Diogenes sitting in this tub in the sunshine.So the king, surrounded by his countries, approached Diogenes and said, “I am Alexander the Great.” The philosopher replied rather contemptuously, “I am Diogenes, the Cynic.” Alexander then asked him if he could help him in any way.“Yes,” shot back Diogenes, “don’t stand between me and the sun.” A surprised Alexander then replied quickly, “If I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes.”

在办公室和同事聊学生的时候，“学生拖欠或不做作业”这个话题似乎常出现在我们的谈话之中。大家交流着学生不做作业的原因，商讨着改变这一不良习惯的策略。

每星期我会发一张英语家庭作业反馈表，要求学生把每天的家庭作业抄在纸条上，完成后让家长检查并签字。我会随时抽查反馈表，看是否完成家作。周三我对学生的作业反馈表进行例行检查。当我走到某个同学面前时，我发现平时活泼好动的她，今天怎么显得如此紧张。我读懂了他的眼神：肯定没完成作业。我的脸一下子拉长了，非常的生气，表现这么好的学生居然没做作业。正当我想要破口大骂她时，我看到她眼里的泪花，在眼眶里打转。就在刹那间，我突然想起了一则故事：有一位少年潜进公寓，正要偷窃时，突然发现一个病中的女孩躺在床上。那女孩面对小偷，没有惊慌，而是用友善的态度微笑的问小偷是否走错了门，并和他亲切地交谈。这个病中的女孩善待了这个入盗者，维护了这个小偷的自尊。后来这位少年经过努力，成为了一个公司的经理。想到这个故事，我愤怒的表情顿时被微笑所代替。我问道：“你是不是生病了，没办法完成作业？还是你忘了带？”他点了点头，颤抖着说：“老师，我明天带来行吗？”我点了点头说：“当然可以。”

第二天，他面带微笑地跑到办公室，高兴地说：“老师，我的`作业。”我看着他的作业，心想：他是什么原因没及时交作业，都已经不重要了。重要的是他认识了错误并及时改正。我很高兴，因为我善待了学生的一次错误，维护了学生的自尊。这个事告诫我：我面对的是一群纯洁、活泼的生命，应时时刻刻做个教育教学的有心人。

上周我们去南宫市担任高考指纹验证操作员，这个班级的课程便落下，给我印象最深的就是我一直马不停蹄的追赶，因为这个班级有将近一个星期的时间没有上英语课，我必须把课文追上，这是次要的，更重要的是让这个班级的学生学一课掌握一课，真正在素质上跟上。根据这一点，我想要做好以下几点：

1.要让学生温故而知新，及时的布置家庭作业，要积少而成多。注重学生平时的积累，而且每天都要让学生作好复习。于是我们课上设计了听写活动，每天布置完家庭作业，我都要进行听写考试，对表现好的同学及时给予鼓励。比如发给他一朵小红花，在班内通报公开表扬等形式，真正调动了学生的积极性。

2、及时与家长沟通，发现学生的不良反映或表现不好的行为、去成绩下降等及时与家长沟通了解情况。前一段时间，我发现班内杨庆良的成绩一路下滑，于是我与家长进行了一次谈话。发现杨庆良同学原来一直在利用下午放学的时间去操场练习篮球。“强身健体”自然是一件好事，但是要保证给孩子充足的学习时间，而杨庆良却顾此失彼了。于是我和家长达成了共识，如果他的成绩总是这样，就取消他的活动，而一门心思的投入到学习当中。我想从这以后，他一定会取得好成绩，获得进步的。

3.后进生要多加关注，不能放任自流。后进生的问题是班内的一个大问题，也是让老师头疼的问题。没有办法，人与人之间总是存在着个体差异，十个手指还不一般齐呢！后进生自理能力差、贪玩，教师要进行个别指导，多给他们时间，对于难掌握的地方要重点指导，利用放学后的半个小时进行指导学习，使其共同进步！

The summer holiday that I am looking forward to is drawing near.So I have already made

a plan for it.First,it’s important for me to finish my homework ahead of time.Next,I am fond of

travelling,I hope that I can take a vacation to anywhere I like this holiday.Last,I am not satisfied

with my final exam results.As an old saying goes:“Where there is a way,there is a will”.I think if

I could study hard,my results will improve soon.Last,I am ready for this summer.All in all,may I

have a wonderful summer vacation.英语周记2No one can deny that The London Olympic Games is a world class event.The Olympic

Games have a tremendous effect on everyone.To be honest,every time when I hear the national

anthem,accompanied by the rising of the national flag,I will be very prond.To some extent,it

reflects our patriotism.For example,when you see the Chinese athletes make every effort to win

the first price in the competition and finally they make it,I am sure you will feel quite

excited.Through the Olympic Games,we can know not only the athletes’ effort,but also the

countries’physical level.Thanks to the Olympic Games, our life is more interesting.英语周记3

Nowadays,it is a common phenomenon that more and more high school students open

their own blogs on the Internet.So I also open a blog for myself this summer.It provides me a

colorful platform to showcase my talent and it's always to release pressure when I feel anxious.But

my parents don't want me to spend too much time on it.They insist that managing my blog will

take a lot of time and energy,while this should be used to study and review,which is my main

responsibility.But I don't approue of their thoughts.I believe blog itself is of little harm.It is

attitude towards it that matters.I know clearly that what I should do is to take the advantages and

avoid some bad effects.英语周记4

As is well-known to all,books teaches us to learn life,truth,science and many other useful

things.They increase our knowledge,broaden our minds and strengthen our characters.In others

words,they are our good teachers and wise friends.That is the reason why so many people read

books in their free time.Reading is a good thing,but we must pay attention to the choice of books.I

read A Dream of the Red Mansion this summer.This book told me that we should deal with a

interpersonal relationship properly.But I know the author of that book don't want to let our know

this only.Because I always keep a sentence in mind,the sentence is “Learning without thinking

leads to confusion;thinking without studying results in tardiness.”

I heard that the Great Wall is very magnificent.As an old saying goes:“Seeing is

believing.”So I went to Beijing to climb The Great Wall.The Great Wall ,which is more than 6000

kilometers long,is the longest wall in the world.It has a history of more than 2000 years.It is made

of stone and bricks and almost all the construction was done by hands without any machine.As the

wall was built to defend the country against foreign invaders,there were watchtowers every few

hundred meters along the wall.Now,the Great Wall is one of the most famous places of interest in

China and it attacts many visitors every year.I have to say this trip does really a good trip.英语周记6
