第一篇：英文日記的寫法

一、日記的格式

英文日記通常由書端和正文兩個部分組成。日記常以第一人稱記下當天生活中的所見、所聞、所做或所想的事情。中、英文的日記三格式大致一樣。英語日記的書端是專門寫日記的日期、星期和天氣的。左上角是日期（年、月、日）、星期。右上角寫上當天的天氣情況，如：Sunny，Fine，Rainy，Windy，Snowy，Cloudy等。

1、日期表達有多種形式。年、月、日都寫時，通常以月、日、年為順序，月份可以縮寫，日和年用逗號隔開。例如：

A）September 1，2004或September 1st，2004也可省略寫成Sept.1，2004或Sept.1st，2004；the 1st of September in 2004（月份不可以縮寫）

B）只有月、日：September 1或September 1st（月份可以縮寫）

C）只有年、月：September 2004或the September of 2004（月份不可以縮寫）

以上的1或1st都應讀作the first.2、星期也可以省略不寫，可將其放在日期前或后，星期和日期之間不用標點，但要空一格，星期也可縮寫。如：

Saturday，October 22nd，2004；October 22nd，2004 Saturday

3.天氣情況必不可少。天氣一般用一個形容詞如：Sunny，Fine，Rainy，Snowy 等表示。寫在日期之后，用逗號隔開，位于日記的右上角。如：

Saturday，March 4，2004，Windy；1st January，2004，Fine

二、日記的要求

日記的正文是日記的主要部分，寫在星期和日期的正下方，可以頂格寫，也可以內縮3至5個字母的空間。由于記載的內容通常已經發生，謂語動詞多用一般過去時。但也可根據具體情況，用其它時態。如：記敘天氣、描寫景色，為了描寫生動，可以使用現在時，以表現當時的情景。再如文后發表感想或評論可用現在時態或將來時態。記日記力求簡單明了，有連貫性。若有文字提示，則應重視提示，把握要點。在句式上盡量使用簡單句，以防繁雜，造成語法、句型錯誤。

三、日記的類型和訓練

日記分為記事型、議論型、描寫型和抒情型。建議大家在學習寫日記的過程中，可按以下步驟進行：

①將一天所經歷的主要事情和過程依次簡要地記下來，不附加任何感情色彩，這是最簡單的記日記的方法；

②閱讀別人的日記，并利用所學過的句型來表達個人在一天中觀察到的或感受到的事情。

【范文與點評】

March 12th，2003，Tuesday

Sunny（Fine）

Today is Tree Planting Day.At 7∶30 in the morning，all the students in our class met at the school gate.We walked to the park.Miss Gao and other teachers went and worked with us.All the students worked very hard，and we planted about 200 trees.Though we were dirty and tired，we still felt very happy.這是一篇記敘型的日記。結構嚴謹，中心突出，有選擇地記錄當天的見聞（人或事），并加以分析和評論。

第二篇：英文日期寫法

英文日期分英式和美式,舉例如下:

1)8th march,XX 或8 march,XX（英式）

2)march 8th,XX 或march 8,XX（美式）

日期寫法宜遵從下列規則：

1)年份必須完全寫明，不可用"04代替XX;

2)月份必須用英文拼出或采用公認的簡寫，即 january(jan.),february(feb.),march(mar.),april(apr.),may,june,july,august(aug.),september

(sept.),october(oct.),november(nov.),december(dec.);

3)日期可用序數詞，如：1st,2nd,3rd,4th,...；也可用基數詞，如：1，2，3，4，...。但美式大多采用后者；

4)在年份和月日之間必須用逗號隔開；

5)日期不可全部采用如7.12.XX或7/12/XX的阿拉伯數字書寫，否則會引起誤解。因為英美在這方面的習慣用法不同。按美國人習慣，上述日期為XX年7月12日，而按英國習慣則是XX年12月7日。

6th april,1978 是英式英文的寫法.april 6th, 1978 是美式英文的寫法.(注意:日子和月份中間沒有逗號.)

6th,april,1978

april 6th,1978

april 6,1978 都正確

關于日期的寫法，應注意以下幾點：

①年份應完全寫出，不能簡寫。

②月份要用英文名稱，不要用數字代替。

③月份名稱多用公認的縮寫式。但 may, june, july, 因為較短，不可縮寫。

④寫日期時，可用基數詞1，2，3，4，5，……28，29，30，31等，也可用序數詞 lst, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, ……28th, 29th, 30th, 31lst等。但最好用基數詞，簡單明了。

附日期月份等縮寫~

january(jan.)一月；

february(feb.)二月；

march(mar.)三月；

april(apr.)四月；

may(may.)五月；

june(jun.)六月；

july(jul.)七月；

august(aug.)八月；

september(sept.)九月；

october(oct.)十月；

november(nov.)十一月；

december(dec.)十二月.后面要打點(.)啊

還有這些詞不可以用在句子的未尾,且月份的縮寫只有跟日一起用才能縮寫,單獨在句中是不能縮寫

常用的星期英文縮寫:

星期一： mon.=monday

星期二： tues.=tuesday

星期三： wed.=wednesday

星期四： thur.=thurday

星期五： fri.=friday

星期六： sat.=saturday

星期天： sun.=sunday

英語日期中的大寫、縮寫

1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th ；

11th 12th 13th 14th 15th 16th 17th 18th 19th 20th ；21st 22nd 23rd 24th 25th 26th 27th 28th 29th 30th 31st

第三篇：英文電郵寫法

英文電郵寫作技巧

A.文法上

1.切忌主客不分或模糊.例子: Deciding to rescind the earlier estimate, our report was updated to include $40,000 for new equipment.” 應改為 Deciding to rescind our earlier estimate, we have updated our report to include $40,000 for new equipment.(We決定呀, 不是report.)

2.句子不要凌碎.例子: He decided not to audit the last ten contracts.Because of our previous objections about compliance.應該連在一起.3.結構對稱,令人容易理解.例子: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and the fact that the contract had been altered with ink markings.應改為: The owner questioned the occupant's lease intentions and ink alterations of the contract.4.單眾數不要搞亂,不然會好刺眼,看不舒服.例如: An authorized person must show that they have security clearance.5.動詞主詞要呼應.想想這兩個分別: 1.This is one of the public-relations functions that is underbudgeted.2.This is one of the public-relations functions, which are underbudgeted.6.時態和語氣不要轉變太多.看商務英語已經是苦事,不要浪費人家的精力啊.7.標點要準確.例如: He did not make repairs, however, he continued to monitor the equipment.改為: He did not make repairs;however, he continued to monitor the equipment.8.選詞正確.好像affect和effect, operative和operational等等就要弄清楚才好用啦.9.拼字正確.有電腦拼字檢查功能后,就更加不能偷懶.10.大小寫要注意.非必要不要整個字都是大寫,除非要罵人,:,例如: MUST change to OS immediately.外國人就覺得不禮貌和喝令人一樣.要強調的話,用底線,斜字,粗體就可以了.B.文體

1.可讀性.對象是大學程度的話,用高中的英文就行,不要以為人人都是語言大師.多用短句(15-20字吧), 技術性的字,就更加要簡單易明.2.注意段落的開頭.一般來說,重要或強調的事情都放在信件或段落的開頭,而句子就放在最尾.例如:

1.Because he was unable to attend the meeting personally, he forwarded his congratulations on cassette tape.2.He forwarded his congratulations on cassette tape because he was unable to attend the meeting personally.兩者強調的事情就有分別了.3.輕重有分.同等重要的用and來連接,較輕放在次要的句子里.4.意思轉接詞要留神.例如: but(相反), therefore(結論), also(增添), for example(闡明).分不清furthermore和moreover就不要用啦.5.句子開頭不要含糊不清的主詞.例子: These decisions have been a big disappointment to the committee members.They have delayed further action.They是指什么呀開頭少用this, that, it, they, 或 which.6.修飾詞的位置要小心,例如: He could only reimburse the cost after July 15.應為 He could reimburse the cost only after July 15.7.用語要肯定準確.切忌含糊.例如:The figures show a significant increase.” 怎樣significant呀,大哥? 改為: The figures show an increase of 19%.8.立場觀點一致.少用被動語.例如: Partial data should be submitted by April.改為: You should submit partial data by April.就很好了.C.格調

1.式樣和句子長度不要太單調.千篇一律的subject-verb-object會悶死人的.有時短句跟著長句可以化解一下.2.弱軟的詞(e.g.was, were, is, are...)可以加強一點.例如: Prunton products are highly effective in...改為: Prunton products excel in...就有力很多了.3.親切,口語化是比較受歡迎!用賓詞和主動的詞,讓人家受落.例如: 1.This information will be sincerely appreciated.” 2.We sincerely appreciate your information.明顯地,我們會喜歡第2句.第一課

Enclosed is our proposed agenda for our meetings to be held at your head office from May 27 to June 2.It covers all areas we would need to clarify before any final decision could be made.1。注意enclosed is 用法： enclose means :to send something in the same envelope or parcel as something else.所以Enclosed is...意思就是隨信附上...2。注意X meeting to be held at...from...to...用法: 在什么地方什么時間舉行的什么會議

3。It covers...用法：它包含了。。內容

You may wish to include other areas to meet requirements on your side.If so, please submit proposed additions as soon as possible.1。注意you may wish to include。。用法：有時我們寫信要考慮對方的需求，比如我們“你方還有什么需要討論的東西。。”可用這樣禮貌的表達方式

2。注意to meet requirements on your side：按照貴方要求

3。submit:提交。。

A prompt reply will very much facilitate preparations on this side.當我們需要對方盡快答復的時候，這句非常禮貌非常經典，不會讓對方感到我的催促和無理

1。注意 prompt means: done or acting quickly and without waiting, or arriving at the correct time.意思就是及時的盡快的。A prompt reply 就是盡早答復的意思。

2。facilitate means: to make something possible or easier就是促進的意思

這句話就有點我說的每個字都認識，但是連起來就不認識的那種感覺，其實這句就是：“為了能更好的準備這次會議，請貴方盡快答復”

【第2課】

I am writing to thank you for the hospitality you extended on my recent visit to your country.The delightful and memorable lunch at your headquarters brought to mind again the close relationship between our companies.I look forward to developing that relationship to the mutual benefit of our organizations.1、I am writing...引出寫信的目的2、thank you for...對...表示感謝的常用語

3、hospitality you extended: extend means to give someone an invitation, thanks, etc,這個短語就是正統的 承蒙您的熱情款待

4、delightful and memorable lunch:令人愉快難忘的午餐

5、bring to mind again:再次使人想到

6、I look forward to doing...:期望。。

7、mutual benefit:共同利益

注意感謝信的寫法，先引出感謝的原因，然后在提及感謝的具體事項，然后在表達期望。注意文中的一些正統禮貌固定用法

第3課】

Very very belatedly I am writing to thank you again for the beautiful vase you gave me at the cocktail party last month.Thank you for inviting Mr.Huang as well.We both enjoyed the occasion thoroughly.We all hope to see you the next time in Taipei.Meanwhile, from your friends at JATEL best wishes and warmest regards.【注釋】

1.Very very belatedly I am writing to...回信已晚，表示一種歉意

2.I am writing to...寫信目的，引出話題

3.thank you for...為什么致謝

4.We enjoyed the occasion thoroughly...我們都度過了非常愉快的時刻

5.We all hope to...from...我們(來自什么地方的全體同仁)都期望...【應用】

1.As one of the first things I do upon returning from my trip, I would like to again thank you for the beautiful painting you presented me with at the memorable reception you arranged for me during my visit.出差回來第一件事情就是再次提筆感謝。。

2.This is again voice my appreciation for the fine engraved watch I received from you at your commemoration party early this month.月初在你的紀念會上蒙獲一塊雕刻精美的手表，再次表示感謝

【第4課】

It was good to have the chance to meet you during your stay here in Hong Kong.Thank you for promptly furnishing us with some written information on your products.We would like to begin to look into the feasibility of our cooperating in your marketing effort here.We will keep you up to date on any subsequent developments.【注釋】

1．It was good to…很高興

2．have the chance to…有機會…

3．during your stay here in…你在…停留期間

4．Thank you for…感謝你…

5．Promptly furnish us with…迅速提供（寄給）…給我，這個詞比send更書面正式，如果是公司間的正式往來書信，就用這個詞，個人或者非正式，則用send就Ok了；另外，prompt這個詞我們已經看見2次了，在表達迅速，快速，盡快等方面我們用它沒錯（參見

【第1課】）

6．written information 資料（包括了catalogue, price list, publicizing brochure）等等一整套的介紹資料

7.look into…調查研究

9．Keep you up to date 通知你最新消息

10．on any subsequent developments 任何進展

【應用】

1．It was indeed a pleasure to have the opportunity to meet you while you were in Hong Kong.注意：indeed這個詞是我的本地員工經常用的，就是一種夸張的語氣，中文就是確實的意思，呵呵，有什么事情需要確實來修飾呢，老外和中國人一樣，都很虛偽，這句用在比自己級別高的人，表達一種尊敬，不要小看這些虛偽的東西，當了領導的人，久而久之就喜歡這些東西

3．It was nice to have a chance to get together with you during your recent trip here.這句語氣比較緩和

以上還是感謝信的一種，里面有很多熟悉的用法，只是針對不通場合有不通的感謝方法。表面上看這些感謝信都非常簡單，但是要寫的精干高效，也確實不容易。

【第5課】

還是一封感謝信，主要用于對出席人的感謝，其中有幾個表達方式比較特別

This is to thank you again for taking time and trouble to join us in celebtating our 15th anniversary.Being able to share this day with friends like you made the occasion all the more meaningful.I would very much appreciate being afforded the chance to reciprocate the courtesy at some appropriate time.In the meantime, I wish you every personal success and happiness.with warmest personal regards,【注釋】

1。This is to thank you again for...在羅唆一遍“再次感謝...”的表達方式

2。taking the time and trouble to join us.承蒙您抽出寶貴時間參見。。的經典表達方式

3。Being able to...注意這個簡練的表達方式，因能。。

4。occasion:再次注意這個詞語，“時光，機會，場合”的意思

5。all the more meaningful意義更加深刻

6。being afforded=being given,但是更正式。

7。I would very much appreciate being afforded the chance to reciprocate the courtesy at some appropriate time.注這句英文思維的方式和中國人剛好是反的，中國人會這么說：如果在合適的時機我有機會回報此番盛情，我將非常榮幸。大家注意一下，中國人說話先繞彎子，然后再點題，而老外直接說I would very much appreciate，然后是being afforded the chance to reciprocate the courtesy at some appropriate time，也就是先點題，我什么榮幸，然后再說原因，為了什么榮幸！再注意句中的分詞被動語態being afforded的用法也能體會到英語的味道，中國人很少說被給機會去干什么，這就是中國英語和英國英語的區別之處

8。courtesy：好意

9。every personal success and happiness：事業成功，生活愉快的套話，一定記住！

【第6課】

昨天工作上遇到和我的外籍客戶協商的事情，今天就協商方面和大家一起學習

Allow us to begin by thanking you for all you have done to secure a foothold for our products in your market.Your ability to maintain sales despite the negative factors affecting our business is highly regarded here.We have also had our troubles.The biggest of these has been the sharp depreciation in the value of the U.S.dollar on which all our prices are based.Every effort has been made to absorb this drop in revenue through cost reduction measures.However,with the depreciation now reaching 20%, it has become impossible to unilaterally adsorb these losses.Consequently, we have decided to raise our export prices 10% across the board effective April 1.We realize this will not make your situation easier.However, please consider the fact that we have been running in the red for three months now.Also, bear in mind that by asking for only 10%

we are seeking to share and not shift the entire burden.Your understanding and cooperation in this regard will be very much appreciated.【注釋】

1。協商信件的構成為：先對對方平時的努力表示感謝，其次說明目前的情況和困難，并給出解決方法（本文就是通知提高價格），然后說明道理，并非推卸責任而是合理分擔困難，最后要求理解和配合2。Allow us to begin by thanking you for...對比前幾課，這又是一種客套的開頭表示感謝的方法，大家可以換著用用

3。secure a foothold:鞏固陣地，本文就是穩固了我方產品在你們市場中的地位

4。be highly regarded:注意這個用法，我的本地員工也經常用這個短語，就是一種恭維，就是中國人說的什么什么受到了高度評價，英語里面用被動形式，仔細看看本為中Your ability to maintain sales despite the negative factors affecting our business...這個主語比較長，去掉修飾就是 Your ability is highly regarded.貴方（修飾）能力是高度贊賞的。這個結構大家可多用，具體修飾不講了，自己根據自己的情況可以擴充。

5。We have also had our troubles.開始說自己的困難了，用了現在完成時態，個人理解是要表達我方的困難不是現在才有，是很久之前就有困難。然后緊接著展開具體困難

6。Every effort has been made to absorb this drop in revenue through cost reduction measures.這個結構也值得大家體會英語的味道，我們總喜歡說，我們采取了什么什么措施...我們喜歡用主動的語態，但是老外強調這些措施被采取，總是喜歡用被動語態，大家體會下。另外注意一下absorb這個詞，引申為承擔的意思。

7。it has become impossible to unilaterally adsorb these losses.如果按照我的思維，我可能這么說 We haven’t unilaterally adsorb these losses。但是這樣看起來就非常主觀，并且語氣非常強硬，老外把可觀的事實作為主語用 it引導的主語從句來表達，就顯得很客觀了，我沒有學過什么經貿英語，就是自己瞎體會。

8。accross the board:全面的，一律的9。We realize this will not make your situation easier.Howevre...這個也是個比較好用的東西，我方意識到...并不能使你方情況變得輕松，昨天我在給我的客戶的郵件里面用了類似的表達：I am aware, Mr.Joshua, that this explanation might not put your mind at easy.這種謙遜的做法，在協商信件里很好用，能爭得對方的諒解，然后however或者but一下，話鋒一轉，開始提出解決問題的辦法或者建議了，讓對方考慮接受。具體內容大家自己看。說一個短語to share and not shift the entire burden：是分擔困難，而不是推卸責任。注意shift

10。Your understanding and cooperation in this regard will be very much appreciated.我覺得regard這個詞很有味道，我們的本地員工常用，這個管用結束語，大家記住就OK了，至于那個in this regard我就當個套話，也不住掉什么具體意思，我理解為，在這方面。。整句意思是，我方對貴方的理解和配合表示感激，老外還是用被動，不用主動方，呵呵，學者別人寫就OK了

很多mail都是工作相關的，還不好擺上來，其實我們公司平時寫信還沒有那么文鄒鄒的，都是一些白話，希望更能幫助大家吧。

Dear XXXXX,As discussed with you please find enclosed the fault report of XXX area which I had generated about service problem in XXXX & specially XXXX two days ago.There isn’t ant remedial action yet & customers are still facing problem an immediate action for rectification is required.Best regards,【注釋】

1。As discussed with you：代表已經和你討論過了，就好像我們平時說的和你提過的那個。

2。enclosed:樓主說過了，這邊看習慣，有人喜歡說enclosed，有人喜歡說attached

3。the fault report.....which I generated....:最簡單的定語從句，主要想說一下generate report，生成報告，出一份報告。

4。specially:強調一下，有時候也說highlighted,表示強調。

5。remedial action:補救措施，有時候也說try to make up for my carelessness.6.facing problem:多簡單啊，面對問題：）

7。rectification:也是一些修改的意思，很多時候老外寫信就講究用詞不重復，一封信同一個意思的詞語很少有重復的。比如他們說一個困難的東西，從difficult ,hard ,tough ,到complicated,time-consuming,反正好多不重樣的。這個就需要平時多積累一點。

8。結尾一般都是best regards,寫信的格式，不過我們公司一般很多人都是做的signature,基本都是Thanks&Regards!

第7課】

再繼續一個協商方面的郵件。本次的重點是盡管對方的行為對目前的形勢不利，但是考慮到長遠利益，還是接收了對方的行為，并就此表達了己方意見，和由此帶來的后果。We have reluctantly decided to accept your proposel to raise the price of the AK-7C and AK-7CX micro-processors by 8% effective June 1.Please understand that the increase at this time cannot help but depress sale considerably.It will also hurt our image with our customers, who may just choose to switch suppliers.Nevertheless, rest assured that every effort will be made to minimize the damage.【注釋】

1。這種郵件先給出結論，同意還是不同意。然后馬上表達對方的行為可能產生的影響，以表達己方意見，最后從長遠利益正視問題，給出明確的態度。

2。have reluctantly decided to 勉強決定，很不情愿接受，現在完成時表示在做出決定前花了相當長時間

3。your proposal：你方提案，對于單方面的提議，建議，提案都用proposal這個詞

4。注意一個用法,effective+（日期）從什么日期生效，上一課也有這個用法，沒有講到，今天點一下

5。Please understand that...要求理解的句式，這個句子表達出來的語氣還算客觀，不具生氣的語氣，但是可以引出己方的意見。

6。the increase at this time cannot help but depress sales considerably，此刻提價對銷售沒有任何幫助，只能產生不良影響。depress sales 對銷售產生不良影響，depress 這個詞比較有意思，值得注意；considerably=substantially，相當的，非常的。

7。hurt our image with our customers，hurt our image with...損壞...對我們的形象

8。may just choose to switch suppliers，體會一下just的意思，表示一種立刻馬上的意思

9。Nevertheless,盡管如此

10。rest assured that every effort will be made to minimize the damage.有意思的來了，rest assured 居然是請放心的意思，怎么從字面上也看不出請放心這個意思，你說老外寫的這么簡單，你能看懂嗎，呵呵。另外，every effort will be made to minimize the damage.又是個被動用法，只強調我方努力這個客觀事實！以后大家記住了，就這么用！不要說我們怎么怎么努力了，而是我方的努力將被怎么怎么。。呵呵

第四篇：英文讀后感寫法

（優秀獎

Benjamin Franklin: the Man who Invented America Countless legendary figures have achieved iconic status.However, Benjamin Franklin is the unique one.Renowned for his versatility and success in various domains, the Philadelphia printer, scientist, and statesman was a universal genius.In Benjamin Franklin: Inventing America, Edwin.S.Gaustad presents a fully rounded portrait of this endlessly fascinating human being.Extensively researched and footnoted, this one-volume biography reveals how he shaped up his multiple talents, as well as the strength that drove him on.Franklin was not blessed as a child.He was the son of a soap maker, and also the 17th child of the family.Due to poverty, young Franklin had to drop out of school and work as an apprentice in a print shop to help support the family.The work was nothing but strenuous, yet it did give the young apprentice access to books.Through exposing himself to the best of human wisdom by reading extensively, he gave himself an education.Meanwhile, his industry paid off handsomely.At age 24, Franklin was already one of the wealthiest publishers in Philadelphia.But Franklin didn?t stop as a popular publisher.At age 40, intrigued by the phenomenon of electricity, Franklin was firm that the subject needed a more systematic investigation.To prove the resemblance between lightening and electricity, he conducted his famous “kite experiment” in a storm.No experiment gave Franklin greater acclaim, either home or abroad.Several years later, Franklin put all these research into practical application by inventing the lightening rod, which made him irreplaceable in the history of modern science.Later, Franklin?s inventiveness went on.Interestingly, he never asked for any patents.As he wrote in his Autobiography, “We should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours, and this should be done freely and generously.”

At age 50, Franklin stepped into politics.Having seen the liberty, equality, wealth and happiness of his people deprived by the colonials, he encouraged his fellow Americans to fight against tyranny and protect their rights.He took up his favorite weapon, the pen, to explain carefully and coolly why America should not be directly taxed by the British Parliament.Gradually, Franklin became the one of the strongest voices for the interest of the colonies.Thanks to his courage and leadership, the colonies were eventually brought together, and a new nation started to emerge.Franklin accepted every duty thrust upon him as a faithful statesman.In 1776, the 71 year-old Franklin helped write the Declaration of Independence.The same year, he sailed to France to secure France?s support for America in the war against the British colonialists.In 1787, Franklin took the job to draft Constitution of the United States of America, with a great many accomplishments already behind him.Through the detailed life stories of Benjamin Franklin, the mystery of how he became a universal genius was gradually unraveled.優秀

Know Yourself, an Admonition for Every Plain Man None of us is more human than another.This is the last sentence of the book The Plain Man and His Wife.Everybody is plain to some degree, including those great minds.As a result, similarities can be found on no matter the rich or the poor, the successful or the unsuccessful, the idle or the diligent, the luxurious or the austere.To the plain men like us, there is only means but no ends about our life.The taste for pleasure always seems vague and far away.Not everybody is willing to endure the risk of life, nor are they positive enough to think in other people?s place.The whole book, consisted of these four aspects, shows us the tapestry of plain man?s life, clogged with abundant trivialities and paradoxes.Intrigued by the author?s unique perspective, I opened the book, wishing to seek the shiny points of wisdom that overflow between the lines.The author, Arnold Bennett is quite famous in Britain.But sadly I don?t know much about him.In early 20 century, the Britain newly stepped into industry age.Thus, people?s lives were changed dramatically.Arnold Bennett, as a representative of the middle class, wrote lots of stories about them.Some to advocate, some to ridicule.In this book, the plain man is supposed to be a middle class man living in 100 years ago.Even so, readers can also find the sign of themselves on this plain man.The characters of human being never vary too much.We may have our own unique way of living, but we share the same emotion when we are confronted with the same affair.We laugh when we feel happy, we cry when we are sad.We are in pursuit of an ideal life, yet we feel depressed about the daily routine and inevitable trifle.The pleasure or pain that the plain man tasted has infiltrated the blood vessels of every people existing in the world.Because we share the same name: human.To this degree, the plain man can be you, can be me, and can be anybody.So the plain man?s weakness can also be your weakness.His confusion can also be yours.He may be a gentleman, but clearly not gentle enough on his life.He feels unsatisfied with his life, no happiness, no means, only ends or rather, destiny.The appointed path stretches inexorably in front, all he could do is to keep going, without reason.A really fundamental question about the appointed path has never been asked.It never occurs to him.I suddenly remembered my primary school, middle school and high school.I walked on my path, leaving one and then stepping into another, feeling rather reasonable in mind.It is the doomed way for everybody who works as a student!Logically, I went to college, and then further my study.I may find a job, find a lover, find a marriage, and one day I may suddenly realize that the youth became the past tense.Horrible!Those dreams and expectations hadn?t yet been realized!I forget to leave some space for them in the reality.What a shame!I may wake up one day, like the plain man, greet the day with “Oh lord!Another day!What a grind!”

So this time, I force myself to think, to really think about my life, my present life.People say university life is one of the most important periods in one?s life.It matters a lot in deciding one?s character, friends circle, career and even family.To compare it with my past 20 years of life, I have to admit that university life is really great!One the one hand, I am set free from the tyranny of the pressure about study.I came to realize that there are more things about life, about people and about myself.I can decide what to do and what I don?t have to do to some degree;on the other hand, I gradually form my own way of living, my own perspective and my attitude about life.So surely I won?t complain about the boring day.At lease recently I am still indulging in the pleasure of university life.However, time will not stay at this point forever.One day, I will graduate, I will work;I will be old, old enough to be fed up with my life.A traveler is travelling.He has no idea about his destination, nor would he come to think of it.Just as the traveler admitted, he just had to start and he started.The plain man is tagger and deeply affronted by the illogical absurdity of human nature.The plain man knows that he will go to Timbuctoo.But he doesn?t know why he has to go there.The two people find each other?s claim quite annoying, but finally they shake hands.This is a really interesting parable.The author tries to explain some assertion and inquiry about life.Since the turpitudes, fatuities and unreason in human nature are unavoidable, the sparkle of wisdom is thereby a bit obscure.So people are apt to forget the immediate end of existence in the means.No awareness of why is formed in people?s minds.The reason seems to be no reason.Just as the author said, a remedy will be worth finding.In my opinion, the remedy is to find some goals.Just be peaceful and probe deep into your heart.Let your heart tell you what you really want.Wake up those beautiful dreams, those childish wished that has been forgotten long ago.Then, you may find your own meaning of living.Set up some goals, make little plans and adhere to them.The days will no longer be a grind.I remember that during my summer and winter vocations, I always feel dull and bored.I have no homework to do, no pressure for study, even no need to do the washing myself.I walk around aimlessly, having no plans for tomorrow.So after each vocation, I feel empty in my brain, and a sense of guilty in my heart.The misery of non-achievement outweighs the pleasure of relaxation.However, when the school begins, I come to live again.The delight of achievement can compensate some sense of guilty, so I feel my life full of vigor and appeal again.I think as for the frustration of the plain man is because he has lost the motivation to make progress.He has his job, wife and children.He exhausted himself for the whole life, goes his way ignoring all the interesting oases and experiences.The result is he get what he hoped, but lost his initial intention.I can imagine how he feels.Sometimes I also feel the same.But now, I think I become more aware of what I am doing and what I am supposed to do.Though we are all plain man, the only difference is the period of life.I am in my youth but he has reached the later part of his journey.So the sooner I realize the reason of a boring life, the more pleasure I will create for my future.There must be some days that you are confronted with an unusual succession of annoyance, exasperations and disappointments——you may feel something must be wrong——but it does happen.Even a trifle can bring about some explosion of pessimism, leaving you feel acid and savage.It must have happened to you before，as it is the same with anybody else, especially when you feel you cannot stop the succession of trifle.The payment of the future is to stultify daily one part of human nature.When you are limited into a certain sort of work and you can?t quit, this feeling would come out.What would you do? As far as I am concerned, the only way is to find a compromise between the present and the future.When you are in such a bad mood, you must feel awful, seeing no happiness from your daily life.However, any problem of human conduce, however hard and apparently hopeless, could not be solved by dint of sagacity and ingenuity.The tyrannic routine seems endless, but everything will be the past, only if you are able to find a reason and solution.Never lose the capacity for pleasure.But how can we manage that? There is an ancient counsel:” know yourself.” It hears so trite, so ordinary.But it is really difficult to realize.The truth is, the rarity of is the root of unhappiness.Self-knowledge is particular required for the solution of the immediate case that mentioned above.I quite agree with the author at this point.Sometimes I tend to disguise myself with a mask, feeling a sin in not being interested in what interests others, and hoping that I can be liked by everybody.In fact, if you want to please everybody, you please nobody.It?s only the tiredness that left in your heart.You tell yourself, that you are supposed to do some particular things, rather than with a spontaneous willingness.The true feeling is omitted.When I begin to feel unsatisfied with what I am doing, the succession of a mass will come out.So I have to get down to the trifle that I am dying to escape from.Suppose that I have always been doing what I like to do, being my real self, I may not be more positive when explosion of pessimism come out.See!Your inner feeling is the one that conducts your life!The story of the plain man never ends, ?because the river of human nature never ends but keeps flowing.My reflection on it won?t stop, too.This book is about the plain man, but the principle and argument isn?t plain at all.It is worth everybody?s reflection.Life itself is a kind of knowledge, only those who learn well can get the truth of it.I am a plain man, and it really arouses my interest to know more about myself.
