第二篇：圣誕文章

圣誕節的由來

“圣誕節”這個名稱是“基督彌撒”的縮寫。彌撒是教會的一種禮拜儀式。圣誕節是一個宗教節日，我們把它當作耶穌的誕辰來慶祝，因而名為圣誕節。這一天，世界所有的基督教會都舉行特別的禮拜儀式。但是有很多圣誕節的歡慶活動和宗教并無關聯。交換禮物，寄圣誕卡，這都使圣誕節成為一個普天同慶的日子。

圣誕節是基督教世界最大的節日。4世紀初，1月6日是羅馬帝國東部各教會紀念那穌降生和受洗的雙重節日、稱為“主顯節”Epiphany，亦稱“顯現節”即上帝通過那穌向世人顯示自己。當時只有耶路撒冷的教會例外，那里只紀念耶穌的誕生而不紀念那穌的受洗。后來歷史學家們在羅馬基督徒習用的日歷中發現公元354年12月25日頁內記錄著：“基督降生在猶大的伯利恒。”經過研究，一般認為12月25日伴為圣誕節可能開始于公元336年的羅馬教會）約在公元375年傳到小亞細亞的安提約基雅，公元430年傳到埃及的亞歷山大，耶路撒冷的教會接受得最晚，而亞美尼亞的教會則仍然堅持1月6日主顯節是耶穌的誕辰。

12月25日原來是波斯太陽神（即光明之神）密特拉（Mithra）的誕辰，是一個異教徒節日，同時太陽神也是羅馬國教眾神之一。這一天又是羅馬歷書的冬至節，崇拜太陽神的異教徒都把這一天當作春天的希望，萬物復蘇的開始。可能由于這個原因，羅馬教會才選擇這一天作為圣誕節。這是教會初期力圖把異教徒的風俗習慣基督教化的措施之一。后來，雖然大多數教會都接受12月25日為圣誕節，但又固各地教會使用的歷書不同，具體日期不能統一，于是就把12月24日到第二年的1月6日定為圣誕節節期（Christmastide），各地教會可以根據當地具體情況在這段節期之內慶祝圣誕節。自從12月25日被大多數教會公認為圣誕節后，原來1月6日的主顯節就只紀念耶穌受洗了，但天主教會又把1月6日定為“三王來朝節”，以紀念耶穌生時東方三王（即三位博士）來朝拜的故事。隨著基督教的廣泛傳播，圣誕節已成為基督徒，甚至廣大非基督徒群眾的一個重要節日。在歐美許多國家里，人們非常重視這個節日，把它和新年連在一起，而慶祝活動之熱鬧與隆重大大超過了新年，成為一個全民的節日。

耶穌的出生是奇特的，耶蘇是因著圣神成孕，由童女馬利亞所生的。神更派遣使者加比厄爾在夢中曉諭若瑟，叫他不要因為瑪利亞未婚懷孕而離棄她，反而要與她成親，給那孩子起名為“耶穌”，意思是要他把百姓從罪惡中救出來。

當瑪利亞快要生產的時候，羅馬政府正下命令，全國人民務必到本鄉申報戶籍。若瑟和瑪利亞只好遵命到伯利恒報名登記。他們到達伯利恒時，天色已昏，無奈兩人未能找到旅館寄宿，只有一個馬棚可以暫住。就在這時，耶蘇要出生了！於是瑪利亞唯有在馬槽上生下耶穌。后人為紀念耶穌的誕生，便定十二月二十五為圣誕節，年年望彌撒，紀念耶穌的出世。

圣誕節便於十二月二十五日紀念耶蘇的誕生，但真實的誕生日就沒有人知道了。十九世紀，圣誕卡的流行、圣誕老人的出現，圣誕節也開始流行起來了。

圣誕夜：根據耶穌誕生在夜里這種說法。圣誕節的慶祝活動也從12月24日夜間開始，半夜時分達到最高潮。這一夜就被稱為圣誕夜。

圣誕樹：

據稱，圣誕樹最早出現在古羅馬12月中旬的農神節，德國傳教士尼古斯在公元8世紀用棕樹供奉圣嬰。隨后，德國人把12月24日作為亞當和夏娃的節日，在家放上象征伊甸園的“樂園樹”，上掛代表圣餅的小甜餅，象征贖罪；還點上蠟燭，象征基督。

到16世紀，宗教改革者馬丁·路德，為求得一個滿天星斗的圣誕之夜，設計出在家中布置一顆裝著蠟燭的圣誕樹。不過，西方關于圣誕樹的來歷流行著另一種說法：有個善良的農民，在圣誕節那天，熱情地招待了一名流浪的孩子，臨別時，孩子折下一樹枝插在地上。樹枝立即長成大樹，孩子指著這樹對農民說，每年今日，樹上都長滿禮物，以報答你們的盛情。所以，今天人們所見的圣誕樹上總是掛滿了小禮物。

圣誕大餐：

圣誕節作為一個隆重慶祝節日，不能少了好吃的美味食品。圣誕節火雞大餐就是例牌主菜了，以前的人們或許會用微波爐自己做，現在的人們過節好多就是在外面餐館里用餐了，商家們也會利用機會賺顧客們的錢，當然還有許多圣誕節食品，姜餅、糖果等等了。

圣誕PARTY：

圣誕節必不可少的節目，有家庭式的，朋友式的，情人式的各種歌樣PARTY。一種友情，親情，愛情聚會的好時光。戴著圣誕帽，唱著圣誕歌，說說大家的圣誕愿望。

圣誕帽：

那是一頂紅色帽子，據說晚上戴上睡覺除了睡得安穩和有點暖外，第二天你還會發現在帽子里多了點心愛的人送的禮物。在狂歡夜它更是全場的主角，無論你去到那個角落，都會看到各式各樣的紅帽子，有的還有帽尖發亮的，有的是金光閃閃的。

圣誕襪：

最早以前是一對紅色的大襪子，多大都可以，因為圣誕襪是要用來裝禮物的，小朋友最喜歡的東西，晚上他們會將自己的襪子掛在床邊，等待第二天早上的收禮。要是有人圣誕節送小汽車那怎么辦？那最好就叫他寫張支票放進襪子里好了。

圣誕卡：

是祝賀圣誕及新年的賀卡，上面印著關于耶穌降生故事的圖畫，以及“慶祝圣誕、新年快樂”之類的祝愿的話。

報佳音：

圣誕夜指12月24日晚至25日晨。教會組織一些圣詩班（或由信徒自發地組成）挨門挨戶地在門口或窗下唱圣誕頌歌，叫作“報佳音”，意思是再現當年天使向伯利恒郊外的牧羊人報告耶穌降生的喜訊。

報佳音的人稱為Christmas Waits，這項活動往往要進行到天亮，人數越來越多，歌聲越來越大，大街小巷滿城盡是歌聲。

頌歌：

圣誕節時唱的贊美詩稱為“圣誕頌歌”。圣誕頌歌很多，曲譜多取自著名音樂家的名作。經常唱的有《普世歡騰，救主下降》、（Joy to the world！）、《天使歌唱在高天》（Angels We Have Hear don High）、《緬想當年時方夜半》（It Comet be Midnight Clear）、《美哉小城，小伯利恒》（Little Town of Bethlehem）、《牧人聞信》（While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks）、《遠遠在馬槽里》（Awaited Manger）、《榮耀天軍》（Angels from the Realms of Glory）、《聽啊，天使唱高聲》（Hark the Herald Angels Sing）、《圣誕鐘聲》（I heard the bell son Christmas Day）、等等其中以《平安夜》（SilentNight）最為有名。據說，1818年在奧地利一個名叫奧本多夫的小鎮上住著一個默默無聞的鄉村牧師伊摩爾。這年圣誕節，伊摩爾發現教堂里管風琴的管于被老鼠咬壞了，修理已經來不及了。怎么慶祝圣誕呢？摩爾為此悶悶不樂。他忽然想起《路加福音》里記載著，耶穌降生時，天使向伯利恒郊外的牧羊人報佳音后，高唱頌歌：“在至高之處榮耀歸于上帝，在地上平安歸于他所喜悅的人。”他靈機一動，根據這兩句經文寫成一首贊美詩，取名《平安夜》。

摩爾寫好歌詞后拿給本鎮小學教師葛路伯看，請他譜曲。葛路伯讀完歌詞很受感動，譜好曲，第二天在教堂里演唱，大受歡迎。后來有兩個商人路過這里，學會了這首歌，他們為普魯士國王威廉四世演唱，威廉四世聽后大力贊賞，下令把《平安夜》定為全國教堂過圣誕節時必唱的歌曲之一。

此外，有條件的教堂每年圣誕節時還會演唱德國著名音樂家韓德爾的《彌賽亞》（又名《救世主》）等音樂作品，通過這些音樂崇拜活動來加強節日的喜慶氣氛。

圣誕老人：

圣誕老人原指公元4世紀時小亞細亞專區的主教尼古拉，他因和藹可親慷慨濟貧萬里聞名。到了6世紀，東方把他尊稱為圣尼古拉。由于民間有關尼古拉的傳說中，都聯系到少年兒童和禮物，從此，圣誕老人便成為專門在圣誕節向孩子們送禮物的慈祥老人的形象。到了18世紀，通過文學和繪畫，圣誕老人逐漸成為身穿紅外衣的白胡子、白眉毛老人形象。

圣誕禮物：

據《圣經》記載，來自東方的圣人在耶穌降生的時候贈送禮物，這就是圣誕老人為兒童贈送禮品習俗的由來。英國少年兒童在圣誕前夕把長統襪子放在壁爐旁，相信圣誕老人在夜里會從大煙囪下來，給他們帶來滿襪子的禮物。法國的少年兒童把鞋放在門口，讓“圣嬰來時把禮物放在鞋里面。”

-------------------------但是就宗教意義來說,圣誕節其實起源于羅馬天主教。-------------------------

圣經并沒提到圣誕節, 初期的教會也沒有慶祝圣誕節。圣誕節乃是于主后312年興起的羅馬天主教所發明的。其實圣誕節與古羅馬的農神節(Saturnalia)和冬至(winter solstice)有關。根據泰勒(James Taylor), 在主后274年(注: 當時羅馬天主教未開始, 基督信仰受到羅馬帝王們的壓迫), 12月25日被開始定為在冬至開始增強光芒的太陽神之生日。大約在主后336年之前, 由于羅馬天主教無法除去這異教的節日, 所以便將此日立為那“公義的日頭”---基督(瑪4:2)的生日, 好使異教徒更易接受基督的信仰。到了主后336年時, 西方的教會已普遍在12月25日慶祝圣誕節。

此外, 12月25日的圣誕節與其他許多其他非基督教的宗教有關。在古希臘中, 他們在此日慶祝巴比倫天后(Babylonian queen of heaven)之子的出生。在埃及, 伊希斯(Isis)之子也在大約冬至時(接近12月25日)出生。古阿拉伯人則在12月24日慶祝月亮之主(Lord Moon)的出生。由于12月底乃是歡慶許多異教神明的大日, 所以羅馬天主教受其影響, 選擇了12月底作為圣誕節。

許多圣誕節的慶祝儀式也與非基督教的其他宗教有關。例如世人狂歡慶祝, 和贈送及交換禮物是源自古羅馬的農神節。圣誕樹則是源自古埃及和古羅馬的異教。在埃及, 這樹是棕櫚樹(palm-tree), 象征異教的彌賽亞, 巴力-塔瑪(Baal-Tamar);在羅馬, 這樹是冷杉木(fir), 象征其彌賽亞, 巴力-貝利(Baal-Berith).在圣誕前夕人們把稱為“圣誕節原木”(Yule Log)的大木放入爐中焚燒, 傳說第二天早上出現圣誕樹, 這作法其實也是源自幾種異教傳說.傳說阿多尼(Adonis)的母親(即太陽神)變成一棵樹后, 才生出她的神子。母親既是樹, 兒子便被認為是枝子。傳說澤羅-阿斯塔(Zero-Ashta)在“母親之夜”(Mother-night)進入火中, 使他能在隔天從火中出生, 成為“神的枝子”(Branch of God), 把一切屬神的禮物帶給世人。羅馬異教相信這神子出生于12月的冬至, 這木進入火中后, 便成為一為新生的神, 即巴力-貝利。圣誕節前夕所燒的原木象征那位太陽神, 隔天出現的圣誕樹則象征巴力-貝利.所以12月25日便被認為是那位得勝的神顯現于地, 被稱為“Natalis Invicti solis”(不敗的太陽(神)之生日。

此外, 在英格蘭的圣誕節晚餐所擺設的公豬或野豬頭(boar’s head), 也是源自羅馬教;而圣誕鵝肉(Christmas goose)和圣誕節蛋糕(Yule cakes)也本是敬拜巴比倫彌賽亞的主要物品.羅馬和埃及也有這種敬拜物品。鵝肉是埃及神明“俄西利斯”(Osiris)和“瑟伯”(Seb)所愛的祭物, 并且這鵝肉只可在冬季正中時(depth of winter)吃。

感恩節 擁抱心靈的日子

一大早,便接到朋友祝福的短信,原來今天是感恩節,心中頓時生出一縷暖意。在國外時,那里的節日很多，讓我心有觸動的是母親節、情人節、圣誕節,特溫熱的是感恩節。

感恩節是個擁抱心靈的節日,讓人心中暖融融的日子.這一天,如果你用溫暖和善意重新打量周圍和世間,也許,加了熱度的身心,會融化一些窗外的寒冷和淡漠。

感恩要用形式，忽然想到,中國人太少有擁抱,也許是最少用身體行動表達感情的國家.人需要擁抱，即便是戀情中的男女互擁抱，那種被填滿的感覺多是情，而不是色，欲望不會溢過感情與理智，喧賓奪主.女人更是如此,當女人想去擁抱有愛的男人時，會去遵照自己的心，每一度力道，與心底的愛痕吻合得絲絲入扣.女人也奢望男人的擁抱。說奢望，是因為男人大多不懂得擁抱對女人的溫暖和感動。吻、愛撫、直至做愛，男人沒讓女人有喘息的機會。情愛如罐裝水一樣咕咚灌下，只有解渴，難有回味.難怪現在的女孩子會追看《像花一樣幸福》、《血色浪漫》的劇集，她們說,那里的感情純，那的眼神撥動心弦，那的擁抱讓女人淚眼迷離。于是不禁要想，會困惑，現在身邊發展神速的男人在把自己當作什么?不肯慢火熬制的愛情湯又有多少養分，盡管缺少的只是慢慢的擁抱。

一天,一個女孩子對我說，對女人，做愛不如擁抱、擁抱不如牽手，做愛的記憶中似乎永遠帶著些傷痛與怨恨，而擁抱和牽手卻是只有深情與甜蜜，像只小螞蟻，有時看不上它，卻有無窮的力量。她還說出那日她與初戀情人的重逢，那時他的感情已落定，但對她還有愛，欲言又止間給了她一個緊緊的擁抱，只限于此，讓見慣風雨處變不驚的她淚如雨下。

另一個女孩子說出她的一個夢，夢里她是個青春期頑劣的女孩子，盡染社會壞習氣，眼看就如脫韁野馬犯下不可彌補的錯誤，卻有一個輪廓模糊的人給了她一個溫暖的擁抱，讓她幡然醒悟，走上正途。這個聽起來有些匪夷所思的故事，夢理學家分析說，那個擁抱其實代表一種愛的力量，身體善意的溫暖遠比嘮叨與打罵直抵內心。

擁抱是一種透過身體轉入心底的溫暖.這讓我想到時下的抱抱團，接受陌生人的善意擁抱，以身體和心靈的溫度改變人與人之間的疏離，擁抱此時更是純度溫暖的代名詞.一個在國外生活朋友的女兒說起抱抱團，她說，《泰晤士報》上報道過，一個孤獨的男人為了尋找幸福，把一個提供“免費擁抱”的廣告牌掛在身上。另一個人心雖然碎了，但仍夢想他的樂隊能夠得到人們的認可。這兩個男人的擁抱絲毫不涉及許多好事之人所掛在嘴邊的顏色。這真的是很感人的一件事。

第三篇：圣誕英語

Christmas also referred to as Christmas Day or Christmastide, is an annual holiday celebrated on December 25 that marks and honors the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.His birth, which is the basis for the Anno Domini system of dating, has been determined by modern historians as having occurred between 7 and 2 BC.The date of celebration is not thought to be Jesus' actual date of birth, and may have been chosen to coincide with ancient Roman solar festivals that were held on December 25.

因特網

任何事情的存在都有負面影響。可以說科技也是如此，例如網絡。初看起來，網絡帶給我們興奮的一個有前途的世界。坦白地講，既使對此有些想法的人也不能否認網絡與生俱來的優點。舉個例子，它可提高科研效率，因為科學家們觀察它們借此能夠獲得對相關領域最新發展的全面了解。并且他們無需費時做已做過的事情。對于個人交流溝通，最便捷的方式恐怕也是網絡。

當人們高度評價網絡時；應忽視它的缺欠。有時系統小有一點致命的故障或一點災難性的錯誤都會帶來巨大的損失。同時隨著作為主要信息來源的各種書籍和書寫工作逐漸被網絡替代，人類的寫作能力變弱，而且人與人之間的關系也淡漠了。

盡管如此，這個星球上的每個國家都應努力發展這個網絡系統以便更高效服務于人類。因為在網上，所有的國家都是相互聯系的。

incurable diseases will endanger our lives...Obviously, man has only one way out——complete destruction.Admittedly, these people have their reasons to think in this way, but I don＇t think they are altogether right.I believe that man is bound to overcome these difficulties and survive a into the future because man is endowed with wisdom.With this wisdom, he came up with solutions to problems he came across in the past.With this wisdom, he will surely work out solutions to the problems which will arise in the future.學生求職為何難?

Why It Is Difficult ron College Students to Find Jobs?(大學生求職為何難?)

1．描述現狀；

2．分析原因；

3．給出辦法。

[寫作導航]先陳述現實，即雖然從理論上講不應如此，但大學生找工作確實很難；第二段分析原因，一方面來自大學生自身，如有些人不能溶入社會，目標過高等，另一方面是所學專業過窄，難以找到合適的工作；第三段給出“我”的觀點：大學生應了解自己的長處和短處，不要太看重物質利益，而是要著眼于長遠發展，另外還要注意繼續深造。

[范文]

More and more college students, in recent years, are finding it difficult to find jobs.This may sound strange since college students used to be the “most favored” people in society.They have received a higher education, hence they are more intelligent, knowledgeable than their counterparts who failed to attend college.But chances are that some of them

can hardly find jobs after graduating from colleges.There are two reasons that account for this strange phenomenon.One is that some college students cannot come to terms with themselves and with the world around them.They pursue too high goals and are too particular about such factors as working conditions, salary, and so on.Therefore, they are reluctant to accept the job when they are offered to them.Another reason is that the majors some students pursue do not match with the demands of the job market.As a result, they canonly sit and miss opportunities.To solve this problem, I think college students should know their own strengths and weaknesses and have the right attitude towards themselves and the job vacancies.In addition, they should not attach too much importance to material aspects of the job.They

should put priority to their future development and their contributions to society in stead.Furthermore, they should think of receiving some further training to meet the demands of society.課外活動之我見

My Views on Extracurricular Activity(課外活動之我見)

1．有些學生熱衷于課外活動；

2．有些學生從不參加課外活動；

3．我的觀點。

[寫作導航]第一段先指出，積極參加課外活動的同學對課外活動的看法是積極的；第二段再寫不積極參加課外活動的同學的看法；第三段陳述我的看法，可分別從大學生活的性質、書本知識與課外實踐以及廣交朋友等方面論述積極參加課外活動的好處。

[范文]

Some students like to participate actively in after class activities.They think after class activities are an integral part of school life.By going in for such activities, they can learn what they can＇t learn from books, which will be beneficial to them in the future.Others, however, don＇t like after class activities at all.They think that a student＇s work at school is learning theoretical knowledge and nothing else.Taking part in after class activities is a waste of the valuable time at school.In my opinion, every student should engage in some after class activities because from these activities we can learn many valuable things that we won＇t learn in classrooms.School is not just a place for learning the difference between “lie” or “lay”, or what caused the hours of the daily schedule.Finally, after class activities broaden our circle of acquaintances.No amount of ordinary school work can take the place of friends acquired in the informal familiarities of activities.分數之我見-My Ideas on Soores

My Ideas on Soores(分數之我見)

1．有人認為分數重要；

2．有人認為分數不重要；

3．我的看法。

[寫作導航]第一段從不同的人對分數有不同的看法引入主題，然后分述這些看法。有人認為分數是衡量學生掌握知識程度的唯一標準，分數還可決定一個學生是否可以上大學、讀研究生，甚至是否被工作單位錄用；而有些人則認為分數高的學生不一定工作能力強，實際能力更重要。最后給出“我”的看法，即在我看來，兩種看法都有片面性，其實兩者缺一不可。

[范文]

People＇s ideas on scores vary from person to person.Some think that scores are very important.They think in this way because scores have always been the only means to tell whether a student has a good command of the subject they have learned.To illustrate, they say scores are often used to determine whether a student should go to college or not.Scores are also used to decide whether he can further his study after graduation.Scores are still used to decide whether he can get a job in the job market.Others, on the other hand, holdthat scores are not so important as practical knowledge.They suggest that students with high scores at school are not necessarily competent in their work after graduation.Our society does not need those who can perform very well in examinations;instead, it needs those with practical skills.I think both of the above views have their limitations.Having lots of theoretical knowledge without enough practical skills is no good, nor is having lots of practical skills without enough theoretical knowledge.Only when we have a combination of both, can we be called qualified students of new China.學生評價老師

Students＇ Rating of Their Teachers(學生評價老師)

1．學生給老師打分已很普遍；

2．人們對其持不同態度；

3．我的看法

[寫作導航]第一段宜寫高校改革所帶來的變化使得學生評價教師很普遍，在有些高校學生的評價甚至成為教師教學好壞的惟一尺度；第二段應寫對這一做法，人們有不同的看法，有人贊成，認為學生最有發言權，而有人則反對，認為學生不具備評價教師的素質，對諸如教學材料、教師業務水平等的評價應由教師的同事來完成；第三段寫我的看法，我認為，學生評價教師有必要，但要切實做到對教師的教學有幫助，例如可讓學生評價在某門課上所學到的知識如何，興趣如何等等。

[范文]

A great change is now taking place in higher education throughout our country.Teachers are being held responsible as never before for how well they serve their students.It has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students.In some universities students＇ rating has even become the only source of information on teaching effectiveness.This, however, has caused great controversy.Some are in favor of the rating system.They hold that since students attend the teachers classes everyday, they should have their opinion about their teachers＇ effectiveness.Others, on the contrary, are

strongly against it.They think that students＇ rating is easy to administer and score, but it also is easy to abuse.They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students＇ rating forms.Students should not be expected to judge whether the materials used are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject.These judgments require professional knowledge, which is best left for the teachers＇ colleagues.I think students＇ rating of their teachers is necessary, but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers＇ performance.Instead of rating the teachers＇ knowledge on the subject, students should be asked to estimate what they themselves have leaned in a course, and to report on such things as a teacher＇s ability to communicate with students, his relationship with students, and his ability to arouse interest in the subject.就業時選擇高薪還是好的職業

Women play an important part in modern society.Now many women are going into professions, such as medicine, law and engineering.They comprise a large part of the workers in businesses and factories.In addition, they are working up to important positions which used to be held mainly by men.There are even some businesses which are run completely be women.Clearly, women are making outstanding contributions to the progress of modern society.There are, However, still some people who assert that men are superior to women in many ways.First, many jobs men do can hardly be done by women, who are physically not strong enough.Second, most of the world-famous scientists and statesmen are found to be males.Finally, the whole society seems to have always been dominated by men only.In their opinion, men should enjoy more rights than women do.Personally, I'm firmly standing on the side of those woman right defenders.Since both men and women are equally important in human activities, they should be on an equal footing.(173 words)

【作文示范】About Myself

My name is Li Hua.I was born in the city of Dalian, Liaoning Province.I studied in Guangming Primary School from 1984 to 1990.Then I entered

NO.6 Middle School where I mainly learned the subjects like Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry and computer.I have been very fond of and good at English and computer ever since.Therefore I placed first in the school computer competition last year.My hobbies include swimming in summer, skating in winter as well as collecting stamps and listening to popular music in my spare time.【寫法指要】

1）本文是根據1996年高考英語“書面表達”題寫成的，屬介紹說明文中的自我介紹。所謂介紹說明，是指對所要說明的對象作概括扼要而又比較全面的介紹，所以介紹說明又稱概說。這種文體很有用處，比如正式求職信或自薦信的第二段介紹個人履歷時就經常這樣寫，在應聘或投考時的面試（interview）中也要作這樣的口頭表述。

2）個人簡歷這樣的介紹說明文要按照時間順序（time order）安排文章結構。所以，在文章中多用像“from 1984 to 1990”，“then”，“ever since”等這樣的表示時間順序的銜接詞語（cohesive words／transitional words）達到文章在連貫（coherence）。雖然文章在整體上是以時間順序寫的，但也不排除使用其他邏輯關系的銜接詞語。例如，本文倒數第二句開頭用的就是表因果關系的銜接詞“therefore”。這樣，就把由于“I have been fond of and good at English and computer．”，因此“I placed first in the school computer competition last year．”之間的因果關系表達出來了。所以，在安排文章的結構時，說明順序詞語的運用應根據具體情況靈活掌握，不能死搬硬套

Remember to Write your composition neatly.My Ideal Job

There are various kinds of jobs in the world, such as writing, nursing, teaching and engineering.But different people choose different jobs as their ideal careers.This is because everyone has his own interest.As for me, I have made up my mind to be a teacher.I choose to do so mainly for three reasons.First, I want to teach because I like the pace of academic calendar.Two long vacations offer me an opportunity for reflection, research and writing.Secondly, I want to teach because I like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lesson, to stimulate myself and my students.And I can have the opportunity to keep on learning.Finally, I want to teach because, being around the students who are beginning to grow and change in front of me, I will grow and change with them too.But teaching is no easy job at all.I must study cleverly to obtain more knowledge.And, at the same time, I will make every effort to purify my soul so that I can become an architect of man＇s soul.我的大學生活

My college life

As a sophomore, I am feeling the time flies.Recalling about the past one year, so many thoughts are flooding in my mind.At this time, I just can’t tell my real idea.The memory is just like so fresh, and all the things happened yesterday!

When first day I came to University, I really feel that the school is very good, but at the first sight of the dormitory, something disappointing come up to me!The condition of the dormitory is really very poor with only one room, no lavatory!I saw something sad in my father’s eyes, maybe that time he thought of the poor condition!So with a big smile on my face, I told my father” it doesn’t matter, Dad.In this kind of condition, I will get myself better!” My father felt better.But when he was coming back, seeing his back, I just wanted to cry!I felt in this city I was just isolated, from that time, I said to myself, “ you have no others who can help you here, just depend on yourself”

And then I came to my dormitory 303.I considered that I would spend four years here(in fact I moved to another one year later)and my dorm mates are all there.Most of them came from Sichuan and they were chatting with a happy voice, but I can’t understand them!Again, I felt myself isolated!I hated that kind of feeling, and then I said to hello to them!To my surprise they are very friendly to me and warm-hearted!I no longer felt afraid.And I got along well with them.But at the first night here, I burst out to tears for that I was missing my family.I don’t know why.Everyday when I was at home, I was just eager to go to school, to experience the wonderful college life but when coming here, I am just eager to go back!It’s quite strange though, you must know this kind of feeling!

Just spending about 2 days here, we were on our way to military train.To us, it’s a fresh train and a kind of experience to know the life between the classmates.But to me, I was nervous but excited.This was my first and precious train life because before going to school I have been staying with my family.So, you know, it’s just this kind of feeling I can’t convey it clearly!The train life is impressive on everybody;we had a lot of activities, for example giving a speech on a stage or singing together or playing basketball.At that time, I felt myself so little among them.All of them have a special talent but not me.I admired them but meanwhile jealousy.Why don’t I have this kind of talent? Am I stupid? I always said to myself.So that time I was also very ambitious, just eager to catch up with them.Except the classmates, the trainer in our team also left a deep impression on me!He was not very handsome and very kind.Just because of his kindness results in my laughter when training.He always said to me that I should be serious in the team but I didn’t listen to him.So after a long time, when investigating the training result, I gave them a disappointing answer.The highest trainer

如何保持健康

How to keep healthy

What is the most important thing in the world? I think it is health.You can take away our money, house, car, or even our clothes and we can survive.But if our health was taken away, we would surely die.That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly.In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies.I also eat little meat.I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruit which are full of vitamins.Taking exercise every day helps us build a strong body.Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy.What＇s more, I think friends are an important part of one＇s health.Many studies show that people with a wide range of social contacts get sick less than those who don＇t.I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone.When I am with my friends, I always laugh.Laughing is also an important part of health.I like to laugh with my friends.By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy.By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy.These things sound easy to do, but not many people can manage them.I think a strong will is necessary if we want to keep healthy.
