第一篇：學生課外閱讀指導初探

古有孔子的“韋編三絕”，有婦孺皆知的“讀書破萬卷，下筆如有神”。而今，呂叔湘也說：“問語文學得好的人，都說是課外看書。”可見，多讀書能提高語文能力是古往今來人們的不謀而合。“新課程標準”也十分強調學生的課外閱讀，重視語言積累，對學生的閱讀量還做了明確的規定。因此，在平時的教育教學中，我努力倡導學生多讀課外書，甚至布置了一些讀書任務，然而卻時常遭遇尷尬，“老師，我家沒有書可看！”“老師，我忘了看。”“我不知道買什么書好。”------凡此種種，一學期下來推脫課外閱讀的理由積累了一大筐，而能堅持天天課外閱讀的學生是屈指可數的。由此可見，對學生的課外閱讀進行悉心指導是勢在必行。一．激發興趣，增加閱讀動力

在培養學生課外閱讀習慣的同時就應特別注重興趣的培養，否則只會使課外閱讀陷入舉步維艱的景況。記得以前我總是對學生的讀書提出各種要求，如“寫上自己的感受體會”“多問幾個為什么，不理解的地方做上記號”“學學作者的寫法”等等，豈知這些都如枷鎖般套牢了孩子，禁錮了心靈，使課外閱讀成了一種任務一種負擔，這樣的“書”讀之還有趣嗎？所以筆者認為，在習慣培養的初始，更多關注的是興趣，而非急功近利的讀書結果匯報。那么，該如何培養課外閱讀的興趣呢？

1．樹立榜樣。榜樣能使學生產生向上看的心理。平時，我有意識地向學生介紹古今中外熱愛讀書的名人名家，利用課余時間講一些有趣的故事傳說。這些使學生在潛移默化中感受到讀書的重要。當然在班中樹立榜樣也很有必要，因為周圍的人事更具有說服力。

2．享受成功。當需要得到滿足，當努力得到承認，人必會產生成功的喜悅，也更會激發做事的積極性。對于行為控制意識還不穩定的小學生來說，必須時常讓他們品嘗到成功的歡樂，從而讓課外閱讀進行到底。比如,在活動課、班隊會上組織學生開展讀書競賽，與好書交朋友的故事會等。

二、創造機會，拓展閱讀天地

巧婦難為無米之炊。而在農村，學生無書可讀是個嚴峻的現實。去年，班中就有好幾位學生向我借書，有位學生在日記中近乎哀求地寫道：老師，您給我買本書好嗎，求您了，我家很窮……。由于種種原因致使學生想讀沒時間讀，要讀沒書讀。

1、充裕的時間。學生常常面對這樣的無奈：在校，一節接著一節的課，還得完成各項作業；在家，等到完成家庭作業已是華燈綻放。屬于學生自由按排的時間太少了！所以，我們該為學生留有讀書的時間，讓他們走進圖書室，到浩瀚的書海中遨游，使他們真正成為學習的主人。

2、充足的圖書。沒有圖書，卻要讓學生大量閱讀，這只能是一句空話。因此，首先要充實學校的圖書室圖書、班級的圖書角，還可動員學生互換讀物。添置的圖書應力求作到品種齊全，結構合理。讓不同年齡、不同水平、不同愛好的學生都有書可讀，人人參與。同時也鼓勵學生自買課外書，相互交流。

三、交給方法，指明閱讀方向

得法者如魚得水，無法者如瞎子點燈。課外閱讀也是如此。只有交給學生閱讀方法，學生讀書才會受到事半功倍的效果。

1、篩選讀物。由于學生由于學生年齡小,好奇心強,鑒別能力低,面對各種各樣的課外讀物，學生或順手拈來就讀，或為獵奇而讀,甚至讀了一些不健康的讀物，這往往會產生負面影響。教師不但要向學生推薦課外讀物,而且要教給學生如何篩選讀物,要求學生選擇思想健康、有益身心發展的課外讀物。可選擇與課文的作者、歷史背景相關的故事,與課文內容、形式、寫法相關的其他文章等。可選擇與自己年齡特點、認知水平相符的課外讀物,也可根據自己的興趣、需要進行選擇等。

2.選用方法。閱讀一般包括精讀、略讀和速讀。精讀即抓住重點詞句,細細揣摩,較深入地理解文章的語言文字和思想內容;略讀即先看序言、提要、編輯大意和目錄,以了解全文的性質、內容和規模;再閱讀全文章節標題及段落首句和尾句;最后瀏覽全文,綜述大意;速讀即一要帶著問題一眼一句、一行地掃讀;二是看得快想得也快,腦子跟著眼睛掃讀思考。學生在課外閱讀時,應根據自己的閱讀需要,靈活地選用適宜的閱讀方法。

3.邊讀邊想。當學生讀書已成為一種習慣時，就應該讓他們明白：讀書不單為了休閑娛樂,更重要的是從書中能獲得一點什么,這就要求學生養成邊讀書邊思考的習慣。這也是“新課程標準”所要求的。要指導學生閱讀時應專心致志,一邊讀一邊想,考慮文章寫什么,怎樣寫?為什么這樣寫?理解感受祖國語言文字的優美,同時提出疑難問題。

4.勤做筆記。單純的閱讀,對提高語文水平是很不夠的,還要引導學生寫讀書筆記。讀書筆記包括摘錄優美、精彩的詞句、片斷,編寫提綱,寫讀后感等。課外讀物如果是自己的,還可用筆把感觸較深的地方圈圈畫畫,也可以在文章的天頭、地尾、旁邊加以批注,使學生養成不動筆墨不讀書的習慣。

總之,教師重視對學生課外閱讀的指導是“讓學生在課外閱讀中起程”的關鍵所在。

第二篇：課外指導閱讀教案

課外指導閱讀教案

教學目標：

1、通過閱讀和交流，使學生了解《魯賓遜漂流記》的故事內容，并能從魯賓遜的身上受到潛移默化的影響，學習他的頑強與樂觀精神。

2、學會由表及里的閱讀順序，掌握正確的閱讀方法

3、以一篇帶多篇，激發學生閱讀文學作品的興趣，確立正確的閱讀思想，讓讀書成為自己的生活習慣

教學重點：

1、掌握精讀和泛讀等讀書方法

2、指導學生寫讀書筆記

教學過程：

一、說話導入

師：同學們，有人說：一個人的精神發育史就是一個人的閱讀史。的確，一個孩子的健康成長除了依靠學校教育、環境影響、家庭熏陶等諸多因素外，還必須從閱讀中吸納精神營養。所以我們要充分利用課余時間多讀課外書，老師在與你們聊天時發現，同學們已經具備一定的閱讀能力，但有部分同學卻只喜愛讀圖而排斥閱讀文字，有些同學雖然喜愛讀書，卻在魚目混珠的書海中迷失了方向；還有些同學雖然讀了不少書，卻因為讀書方法不當而收效甚微。今天我們就來上一節閱讀指導課，希望同學們能通過今天的學習在課外閱讀上有所收獲。

二、好書推薦

師：在我校的書香節里，給同學們推薦的一些課外閱讀的書目。（課件出示）《愛的教育》、《唐詩三百首》、《東周列國故事》、《資治通鑒故事》、《岳飛傳》、《楊家將演義》、《聊齋志異》、《格列佛游記》、《匹克威克外傳》、《魯濱遜漂流記》、《童年》、《希臘神話故事》、《愛麗斯漫游奇境記》、《十萬個為什么》、《簡愛》、《智慧背囊》、《草房子》、《青銅葵花》、《山羊不吃天堂草》、《男生賈里》、《女生賈梅》、《五（3）班的“壞小子”》、《夏洛的網》、《哈利波特》、《海底兩萬里》、《老人與海》、《愛心樹》、《假如給我三天光明》、《柳林風聲》、《讀者》雜志、《世界名人傳記》（少年版）??

師：同學們，這些都是經典的好書，很適合我們閱讀，我們可以從這些書中學到很多做人的道理和寫作的方法。所以在玲瑯滿目的書店或者圖書館，我們就可以挑選這些書來閱讀，而不要去選擇那些充斥著暴力和黃色的書。（板書：讀書有選擇）在這些推薦的書目中，幾乎都是小說，而且篇幅都不短，我們把它們叫做長篇小說。

據我所知，這段時間我們班的同學，特別是男孩子都迷上了《魯濱遜漂流記》這本小說。我們今天就選《魯濱遜漂流記》來跟同學們一起學習如何閱讀長篇小說。

三、分析《魯濱遜漂流記》，指導讀書方法

1、同學們，老師手上有幾個版本的《魯濱遜漂流記》這些都能在書店或者圖書館找到，那究竟我們要選擇哪種版本呢？（簡單說）

2、大家拿起這本書，我們首先看到的是書的什么？（生答：封面）對了，一本書，我們首先接觸的就是封面，那從封面上，我們可以知道哪些信息？

3、閱讀一本書，我們可以從作者入手，了解作者，對理解故事是有幫助的。有同學去了解過作者嗎？（課件出示作者簡介）你們已經讀完了書，結合這個介紹說說作者的生活經歷與故事內容有什么關系嗎?

3、讀了書名，你想知道什么？

師：這是一部近十七萬字的大部頭的書，讀完整本書再回答這些問題，同學們肯定等不及。現在，就有一個初步解決問題的好方法，那就是讀“譯者前言”或者說“導讀”和“目錄”

4、（拿書示意）請同學們快速默讀前言和目錄，看看你都讀懂了什么？讀完之后，在小組內交流交流。

5、我們來交流一下，誰先說都了解了什么？

6、對了，通過讀前言和目錄，我們可以知道這本書的主要內容，那誰來說說呢？（生說）

7、這就告訴我們閱讀一本長篇小說前可以通過這些方法幫助自己對故事有個大致了解。下面我們共同走近這本書，跟隨魯濱遜去漂流，去探險，一定會有不少收獲的。（板書：讀）

8、在課前，老師已經布置同學們閱讀了這本書，你們是用什么方法讀完的呢？我看到有些同學還在書上做了批注。一些喜歡的句段還用不同的符號劃下來了。古人云：不動筆墨不讀書，好記性不如爛筆頭。這些同學已經掌握了這些閱讀方法，很不錯！我們要向這些同學學習，讀書時要邊讀邊做批注，摘抄好詞佳句，做筆記。（板書：記）下面，我們就選擇三個問題來展開討論：

（課件出示問題）

你認為主人公魯濱遜到底是一個怎樣的人？

你認為笛福在這部小說里是如何表現人物的這些性格特點的?

作品中你最喜歡的是哪部分，為什么？哪些部分你認為值得積累，可以是好詞好句，可以是刻畫人物的方法。這些都可以用專門的摘錄本記下來。

9、討論之后，我們對這本書就有了深入的理解。讀有所感，讀有所悟，我們就可以寫寫讀后感。老師這里有一份我們最喜歡的楊紅櫻寫的《一本男孩子必讀的書》。請同學們快速的默讀，看看這篇讀后感是怎么寫的。（學生看）（師：概括書的主要內容，接著說說自己對書中某部分最有感觸部分寫寫體會，可以是對書中人物或者是作者的寫作方法等.可以說說自己受到的教育）

四、總結閱讀方法，激勵廣泛閱讀

1.教師小結：一般文學作品都有兩個重要的創作方面：一是作品中人物性格的特點，一是作者的表達方法。我們重視了這兩個方面的閱讀，就會收到事半功倍的效果。

2.對照這節課的閱讀，回憶以前的閱讀方法，你認為在今后的課外閱讀中應該運用哪些閱讀方法呢？請用這些方法閱讀其他關于探險的書籍：（課件出示）（世界名著青少年版）

《湯姆索亞歷險記》

《八十天環游地球》

《綠野仙蹤》

3.結束語

讀一本好書就像跟一個高尚的人對話，希望同學們每天抽出30分鐘的時間閱讀課外書，特別是文學名著，充實自己。

剛才讀了故事，你們說說他還有哪些特點？（小組按照自己讀的故事派代表總結）A——胖。

師：（實物投影《親愛的笨笨豬》相關內容）是啊，他真的很胖哦！朋友們一起相約去草地上蕩秋千，結果笨笨豬剛一坐上去，就把秋千壓斷了。后來，乖乖熊把他們家帶輪子的大沙發推來當秋千，等笨笨豬一上去，吊沙發的粗繩子又斷了。害得大沙發失控，闖上馬路，把乖乖熊的媽媽都撞倒了。

B——貪吃。

師：你說的也很正確。告訴你們，他能喝掉滿滿一大盆的玉米糊糊湯，還能再吃8個大白饅頭。你們誰能比過他？

C——愛打呼嚕。

師：對，笨笨豬打呼嚕可響了。你猜猜能有多響？（實物投影《親愛的笨笨豬》相關內容）當笨笨豬打呼嚕的時候啊，白兔姐妹以為是打雷了，貓咪咪以為是來地震了呢，結果害得朋友們都沒有睡好覺！

（1）別看笨笨豬有這么多的缺點，可是有時候這些缺點也能辦好事呢！小組根據自己閱讀的故事派代表發言！

（2）教師根據生回答的情況，隨機簡介故事。

正是因為笨笨豬胖，所以朋友里就數他最有力氣。當乖乖熊過生日的時候，他幫乖乖熊的媽媽擔水、劈柴；當七七四十九只老鼠拉糧食上坡都上不去的時候，他一推，就把車推上了坡。

正是因為笨笨豬貪吃，所以在乖乖熊的生日晚會上，他吃光了所有的毒蘑菇，卻因此救了參加生日會上所有朋友。

正是因為笨笨豬打呼嚕的聲音響，居然嚇退了想來吃掉白兔姐妹的大灰狼。

3、笨笨豬的優點

（1）看到這兒，也許有的同學就會問，難道笨笨豬就一點優點也沒有嗎？可不是這樣哦！猜猜看，你認為他要有什么優點，才愿意和他交朋友？

（根據生的回答隨機板書）

★正是因為笨笨豬有這些優點，他想盡辦法讓山上那個臥在地上的小鹿妹妹又重新站立起來，大膽地向前跑；

★正是因為笨笨豬有這些優點，他讓本性兇惡的大灰狼流下了從來沒有流過的眼淚，并且還和他的兒子小灰狼交上了朋友；

★正是因為笨笨豬有這些優點，他讓愛偷吃的小老鼠們讀書換了腦袋，從此過上了自食其力的生活??

（3）感不感人？下面讓我們一起走進歡樂的學校，去感受那份快樂吧！①播放課件：師朗讀《歡樂的學校》部分內容

②聽了這一部分，你想說什么？

③是啊，正是因為笨笨豬和他的朋友們的同情和友愛，讓殘疾的小狐貍妹妹從此不再孤獨，不再自卑，她對自己充滿了信心。

4、小結：因為給別人帶來太多的快樂，所以笨笨豬快樂。這種快樂的品質，就顯得尤為可貴了。

三、看圖猜故事

1、故事插圖展示：請想象的翅膀，結合目錄，猜一猜這幅圖應該出自目錄中的哪一個故事？（學生猜一猜，并說出自己的理由。）

這幅圖出自《笨笨豬娶新娘》這個故事，到底發生了什么事呢？誰來讀《笨笨豬娶新娘》的節選部分？

2、出示《生日晚會》插圖，學生猜名字，簡單介紹一下故事的過程。

四、讀故事、表心情、續故事

1、讀故事

要求：

（1）邊讀邊劃出自己覺得有趣的地方，多讀幾遍，讀通、讀順。

A、你可以說笨笨豬找到了巧巧豬；你也可以說巧巧豬北大狼給叼走了；

B、你還可以說巧巧豬在原地等他??

五、拓展延伸，激發興趣

1、楊紅櫻阿姨的作品，總是站在孩子的角度來看這個世界，她知道我們小朋友內心最缺乏的是什么，最渴望的又是什么。

2、介紹她的童話系列，建議大家課后讀一讀：《神秘的女老師》、《流浪狗和流浪貓》、《沒有尾巴的狼》、《駱駝爸爸講故事》、《鼴鼠媽媽講故事》、《那個騎輪箱來的蜜兒》。

第四篇：淘氣包馬小跳課外指導課教案

《淘氣包馬小跳》課外閱讀教案

劉圩鎮中心學校三（1）班蘇群杰

教學目標：

1、激發學生讀課外讀物《淘氣包馬小跳系列——貪玩老爸》的興趣，對《淘氣包馬小跳系列》有閱讀的欲望。

2、教給學生看課外書的基本方法：看書的順序，如何觀察封面、適當地學習書中的語言，及一些寫法等。

3、會寫讀書筆記的三種寫法：符號式、摘錄式、感想式筆記。

教學過程：

一、圖畫引入，激發興趣

師：今天，老師給大家帶來了一位淘氣包，（出示課件）大家能猜出哪個是老師說的淘氣包呢？猜不出，不要緊，再往下看，這回可知道哪個是淘氣包了吧。這個淘氣包名字就叫：馬小跳。

師：看了這些圖片，是不是覺得馬小跳真是個淘氣的孩子？除了淘氣你還覺得他是個怎么樣的孩子？（可愛、調皮、樂觀、幽默）

師：是的，馬小跳就是一個淘氣、可愛、調皮的孩子。關于馬小跳的故事，老師這里有一本書，今天老師就和大家一起來讀讀這本書。這本書的名字就叫《淘氣包馬小跳》之《貪玩老爸》。

二、初讀封面，導讀激趣

1、介紹馬小跳系列封面：

師：我們一拿起書所接觸的是什么？（封面），你從封面了解到哪些信息？（課件出示：封面）

預設：（題目—作者---主人公——出版社）

（1）書的名字----《淘氣包馬小跳系列---貪玩老爸》

（2）書的作者---楊紅櫻封面上還有很多信息，你還發現了什么？

師：想不想打開書本去看一看？首先我們看到的是作者的簡介。（課件出示）

1、老師讀簡介。

2、看了作者的簡介你覺得楊紅櫻的小說怎么樣？

師：一本書除了作者簡介外，一般還有書的主要內容，就在這本書的封底。我們一起來看《貪玩老爸》的主要內容。

1、學生默讀。

2、看了內容簡介你現在想看這本書嗎？為什么？

師：說得真好，是的，對于一本書，想知道它適合不適合自己看，看了它的主要內容就可以知道了。下面我們就一起去看這本書的目錄。這本書是由一個一個的小故事組成的。看了這些目錄，你最想看哪個故事？為什么？

生：

師：好的，現在我們就一起去欣賞這本書的精彩片段。

三、欣賞精彩片段，賞析人物形象。

（1）你覺得寫得最有意思的是哪個地方？

2、片段二：

（1）你覺得哪個地方最吸引你？

四、介紹三種讀書筆記

師：大家都很會讀書，但是古人說不動筆墨不讀書，所以說我們讀課外書時不但要會讀，還要學會做讀書筆記，今天老師就教大家幾種讀書筆記的寫法。

1、符號式

2、摘錄式

3、感想式筆記

五、介紹淘氣包馬小跳全套書。

師：同學們，實際上淘氣包馬小跳系列》的書一共有二十本呢。今天老師特地帶來了這套書，想不想看呀？

六、總結。

最后送給大家一首詩《閱讀，終生的承諾》

閱讀，終生的承諾

世界上最動人的皺眉是在讀書時那苦思的剎那；

世界上最自然的一刻是在讀書時那會心的微笑。

自己再累也要讀書；

工作再忙也要談書；

收入再少也要買書；

住處再擠也要藏書；

交情再淺也要送書。

最庸俗的人是不讀書的人；

最吝嗇的人是不買書的人；

最可憐的人是與書無緣的人。

同學們，讓我們與書為伴，讓閱讀成為我們終生的承諾！

教學反思：

“新課程標準”十分強調學生的課外閱讀，重視語言積累，對學生的閱讀量也做了明確的規定。因此，在平時的教育教學中，我鼓勵學生多讀課外書，并布置了一些讀書任務，然而卻時常遭遇尷尬，“老師，看過了，我又望了。”“老師，我不知道買什么書好。”“老師，我忘了看。”針對這種現象我選擇了楊紅櫻的作品《淘氣包馬小跳》中的《貪玩老爸》作為

課外閱讀推薦課，因為書中的許多內容，不但結構嚴謹、情節動人，里面還有許多優美的語句，華麗的詞藻等，語言方面的描寫特別接近學生生活。

這堂課我有三個目的：

1、教學生如何去選自己喜歡看的書，合適自己看的書。

2、通過推薦一些好書，激發孩子們讀課外書的興趣。

3、會做感想式筆記，這是三年級孩子剛開始做的更高一層次的讀書筆記。因此，我特設了以下環節：

一、引導學生看封面、看作者簡介、看主要內容、看目錄，讓學生明白看封面、作者簡介、主要內容、目錄，是初次接觸一本書時，最常用的略讀的方法，這種簡潔的方法也可以讓你很快地挑選到自己喜歡看的書。

二、賞析人物形象，欣賞精彩片段。這是本堂課的最主要的環節，讓學生進一步了解作者是如何把故事寫得生動有趣的，如何刻畫人物形象，達到吸引讀者的眼球。

三、老師做了摘錄式和感想式的筆記樣本給學生看，讓學生也學著老師的樣子在以后的讀書活動中，也可以做這兩種讀書筆記。最后我向孩子們展示了整套《淘氣包馬小跳系列》共二十本。當看到這些書時，學生的眼睛都亮起來了，甚至有些學生歡呼起來了。

從課堂實施的效果來看，教師的語言、圖片都較好地激發了學生的交流興趣，通過生生互動、師生互動，學生能夠對故事中的人物說出自己的個性體驗，對人物的形象進行了多角度的賞析，并能說出作者的寫作方法，但由于學生的怯場、教師的激勵評價的不足，學生的課堂表現不夠大膽、大方，學生答題的面不夠廣。另一方面，由于時間比較倉促，讓學生了解感想式的筆記時，只是一看而過，沒能讓學生也學著老師的樣子，說一說自己讀過的書的筆記，或者向同學推薦自己看過的書。

總之，我覺得在這堂課起碼激起了學生閱讀興趣，教給學生閱讀的方法，讓他們去閱讀，去思考，使學生從小養成閱讀的良好習慣，促進學生閱讀能力的發展。

第五篇：學生（本站推薦）

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.
