外国著名城市
***纽约 New York
New York is one of the busiest cities in the world. It is situated at the eastern side of the United States. It is also the capital of New York States. It has many tall buildings. Many international companies and large banks set up their headquarters here. The famous Statue of Liberty is standing just near its shore. New York City is the most beguiling place there is. You may not think so at first - for the city is admittedly mad, the epitome in many ways of all that is wrong in modern America. But spend even a week here and it happens - the pace, the adrenaline take hold, and the shock gives way to myth. Walking through the city streets is an experience, the buildings like icons to the modern age, and above all to the power of money. Despite all the hype, the movie-image sentimentalism, Manhattan - the central island and the city's real core - has massive romance: whether it's the flickering lights of the midtown skyscrapers as you speed across the Queensboro bridge, the 4am half-life in Greenwich Village, or just wasting the morning on the Staten Island ferry, you really would have to be made of stone not to be moved by it all.
None of which is to suggest that New York is a conventionally pleasing city. Take a walk in Manhattan beside Central Park, notably its east side, past the city's richest apartments and best museums, and keep walking: within a dozen or so blocks you find yourself in the lower reaches of Spanish Harlem. The shock could hardly be more extreme. The city is constantly like this, with glaring, in-your-face wealth juxtaposed with urban problems - poverty, the drug trade, homelessness - that have a predictably high profile. Things have definitely changed during the nineties, especially in the recent, Mayor Guiliani years. Crime figures are at their lowest in years and are still dropping (statistically, New York is now one of the country's safest big cities), and renewal plans have finally begun to undo years of urban neglect. But for all its new clean-cut image New York remains a unique place – one you'll want to return to again and again.
The city also has more straightforward pleasures. There are the different ethnic neighborhoods of Lower Manhattan, from Chinatown to the Jewish Lower East Side and ever diminishing Little Italy; and the a
artsy concentrations in SoHo, TriBeCa, and the East and West Village. There is the architecture of corporate Manhattan and the more residential Upper East and West Side districts (the whole city reads like an illustrated history of modern design); and there is the art, which affords weeks of wandering in the Metropolitan and Modern Art Museums and countless smaller collections. You can eat anything, at any time, cooked in any style; drink in any kind of company; sit through any number of obscure movies. The established arts - dance, theater, music - are superbly catered for, and although the contemporary music scene is perhaps not as vital or original as in, say, London or Los Angeles, New York's clubs are varied and exciting, if rarely
inexpensive. And for the avid consumer, the choice of shops is vast, almost numbingly exhaustive in this heartland of the great capitalist dream.

***旧金山 San Francisco
也译为圣弗朗西斯科。美国加利福尼亚北部港口城市，美国太平洋沿岸仅次于洛杉矶的第二大城市，西部的金融中心，最大海港和重要的海军基地。19世纪中叶加利福尼亚发现金矿，华侨称为“金山”。后来，澳大利亚的墨尔本(Melbourne)，也发现金矿，华侨也称为“金山”，为了区别，人们称美国的 San Francisco 为“旧金山”，而称澳大利亚的 Melbourne 为“新金山”。旧金山三面环水，景色秀丽，是人们的避署胜地。旧金山还是一个华人和华侨较集中的城市，该市东北角的“中国城”是美国最大的华人社区。主要工业有食品加工、合成金属制造、机械、服装、印刷等。人口约70余万。
南非(South-Africa)
让我们一起走进南非,感受它深厚的文化底蕴和优美的自然风光.
South Africa is a country which is little more than a remote (遥远的) and mysterious (神秘的) land for most Chinese people. But recently， the Chinese Government listed it as one of four new countries open to Chinese tourists. So， now it may be your next holiday choice.
From modern art galleries (画廊) to ancient (古代的) cave paintings， museums to cultural (文化的) villages， you can taste the rich history of cultures in this vast land.
A traditional Zulu village， for example， is a favourite place to visit. The Zulus are an ancient tribe (部落) in South Africa. Guests are greeted with traditional Zulu etiquette(礼仪) and entertained with dances and songs. It is part of their traditional culture that only the unmarried girls and young men dance， staying in separate groups.
The rich cultural diversity (多样性) of South Africa is matched by its natural diversity. Wilderness trails (野外追猎)， or safaris (游猎)， open up the wild bush (灌木丛) to visitors.
There is nothing like standing in the middle of nowhere and getting a close-up view of a black rhino (犀牛) or lion. In the vast silence， you are surrounded by the smell of grass with only the sound of your heartbeat for company.
And South Africa is the land of gold. Johannesburg (约翰内斯堡) was once the biggest gold mining area in the world. And there are many old mines to visit. (about 190 words)

Canberra is the capital city of Australia. With a population of over 345,000, it is Australia's largest inland city and the eighth largest Australian city overall. The city is located at the northern end of the Australian Capital Territory, 280 km (170 mi) south-west of Sydney, and 660 km (410 mi) north-east of Melbourne. The site of Canberra was selected for the location of the nation's capital in 1908 as a compromise between rivals Sydney and Melbourne, Australia's two largest cities. It is unusual among Australian cities, being an entirely planned city. Following an international contest for the city's design, a design by the Chicago architects Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin was selected and construction commenced in 1913. The city's design was heavily influenced by the garden city movement and incorporates significant areas of natural vegetation that have earned Canberra the title "bush capital". Although the growth and development of Canberra were hindered by the World Wars and the Great Depression, it emerged as a thriving city after World War II.
As the seat of the government of Australia, Canberra is the site of Parliament House, the High Court of Australia and numerous government departments and agencies. It is also the location of many social and cultural institutions of national significance, such as the Australian War Memorial, National Gallery of Australia, National Museum of Australia and the National Library of Australia. The federal government contributes the largest percentage of Gross State Product and is the largest single employer in Canberra.
丹麦哥本哈根：美不胜收的童话之都
你是否已经老得不想听童话了？如果你是这么认为的话，哥本哈根一定能够改变你的想法。
要看这座城市，先从水看起。丹麦最有名的标志性建筑——小小美人鱼就坐落在港口处。记得她吗？在安徒生的一个童话里，她离开了海底世界，想变成一个真正的人。安徒生的许多幻想故事都很受欢迎哩。从这个港口你可以领略到这座迷人的“绿色塔尖之城”的魅力。黎明时分或天气阴霾的时候，旧堡垒和教堂的镀铜塔尖给这个城市蒙上了梦一般的气氛。你会以为自己步入了一幅水彩画中。
哥本哈根是一个很人性化的城市。你不需要在一小时内匆匆地将市中心走完。考察这个城市要花上更长的时间。但那也是件很轻松的事。哥本哈根是第一个划出步行街的城市。比起欧洲其他国家的首都，这个城市的交通噪音和污染少了许多。
自港口沿着河岸漫步，最先映入眼帘的是风格朴实的阿玛利安堡皇宫。阿玛利安堡皇宫于18世纪中期完工，皇室家族至今居住于此。皇家卫队仍在这里执行任务。中午可以观赏卫兵换岗的仪式。但是，这些卫兵绝不仅仅是装装样子而已。丹麦人永远记得他们在1940年4月9日的英勇事迹。当时纳粹分子入侵丹麦，这些卫兵举枪瞄准并且开火。双方都有士兵阵亡。如果国王不叫他们投降的话，这些卫兵可能全都战死沙场了。
教堂与古堡大概是古城遗留下来的惟一的东西。哥本哈根于1445年成为丹麦的首都。16世纪末，贸易发展带动了城市的发展。但是，城中的旧式木建筑在1728年和1795年的两场大火中毁于一旦。今天我们所看到的大部分建筑都是在19世纪和20世纪初建造的。
仔细看其中一个塔尖——真正靠近地看——这座建于17世纪的“我们的救世主”教堂。勇敢的人可能会爬上那在尖塔外蜿蜒而上直通塔顶的150层阶梯。如果你有恐高症，或者当天风很大，那就免了吧。不过，你会因此错过那壮观的景色。
当你再次稳稳地踏在土地上(你会喜欢这种感觉的)，你可以通过最近的桥到城堡岛。前方有个1619年建造的欧洲最古老的证券交易中心，上面的塔尖奇特而又宏伟。塔尖由三只龙尾缠绕而成，分别代表丹麦、瑞典和挪威。
继续往前，走到基斯汀堡。哥本哈根源自此处。停下来游览这个中世纪的古堡。议院和皇家接待室也同样开放，然后继续往尼哈芬走去，它是1673年由士兵挖成的狭窄水道。你会明白为什么汉斯?克里斯蒂安?安徒生把这个迷人的水道当成自己的家。通过公寓窗外的一面特制的镜子，他能够看到外面的世界而又不被人发现。
尼哈芬是个宁静的地方，它也是个逗留和观看行人的理想处所。虽然他们是欧洲最有钱的人，但是你通常都会看到他们穿得很随意。丹麦人所受的教育是在人群中不要显得鹤立鸡群。但是他们却很喜爱聚会，特别是在假日的时候。
要看丹麦人嬉乐，要想自己找到乐趣，你可以走过安徒生大道，进入提弗利花园，在这儿你是不会寂寞的。每年有超过500万的人来此旅游。他们来这里跳舞、就餐、欣赏户外和室內音乐会，看芭蕾舞表演，观看喜剧开怀大笑。给你一个建议：多带钱。20家左右的餐厅是本城里最昂贵的。即使没有钱，你仍可以欣赏那些傲人的老树、五光十色的彩灯，以及美丽的花园。你可能会以为自己置身于童话故事当中呢。
老外怎样哼哼哈哈？——英语中的语气词。 2010-03-19 20:40 当你听到有人这么说英语：Aiya, what’s the matter with you? Wei, are you John? Aiyo, I hurt my head. 你会感觉怎么样？Too Chinglish是吗？说的是英语，发出的语气词却是地道的汉语。这种现象太普遍了…… 原因就在于，我们对老外的语气词太不了解了。所以要想把英语讲得有洋味儿，你首先要学会像老外那样哼哼哈哈！ 下面是老外常用的语气词，快学会它们吧： Ah [ɑ:] 表痛苦、欢乐、懊悔、憎恨、厌恶、惊讶、遗憾、蔑视等 Aha [ɑ:'hɑ:] 表满意、快乐、胜利、得意、惊讶等；常含有冷嘲热讽或愚弄意1. Aha! That's it. Now I know what to do. 啊哈！就是这样。现在我知道该怎么做了！ 2. Aha, so there you are! 啊哈，原来你在这里。 Ahem [?'hem] 咳嗽声，唤起注意, 或表示怀疑 Ahem, I wonder if I can raise this problem with you now. 呃哼，我现在能否向您提及这问题。 Bah! [ bɑ: ] 轻蔑，厌恶 Bah! You've wasted my time. Goodbye. 呸！你在浪费我的时间，再见。 Blah [bla:] 反复地说，什么什么的 1. All she does is go "blah-blah-blah" all night, but she never says anything worth remembering the next morning. 她整夜说个不停，但没有一句值得记到第二天早上的话。 2. You have to listen to Charles talk about how bad the Rockets are and that it needs to be T-Mac's team, blah blah blah. 你必须听着巴克力说火箭有多么糟糕，还有这应该是麦迪一个人的球队，什么什么的。 Brrr [br-r-r] 表领悟或冷颤 Brrr! It's already March, but it's so cold today! I can't stand it. 呜！都已经三月了，今天还这么冷！真受不了。 Eek [i:k] 表害怕 Eek! His eyes are wide open! But he's fast asleep! 咦！他的眼睛睁得大大的！但睡得正香呢！ Umm [?m] 表示犹豫或不确定 Umm, I’m not sure about that. You'd better go ask John. Haw-haw ['h?:'h?:] int. 哈哈大笑
小学生英语教学的特色 小学生活泼、可爱，喜欢美丽的图片、欢快的节奏和动画。我认为小学英语教学的特色就应该是生动、活泼、欢快、形式多样的。 课堂的热身活动一般都采用和本节课有关的歌曲，我会播放上一模块的歌曲视频，让学生跟着音乐、做着动作唱英文歌，这样他们能很快进入英语学习环境。接下来我会用实物或图片教学新单词、领读新单词、做掌握新单词的游戏；对于文本的学习我会设置几个问题，引导学生学习文本，我会把视频分成几小段，提一个问题播放一段视频让学生找到问题的答案并回答问题；学完文本后又联系生活实际进行情感教育；最后再以一首好听的歌结束本节课，引出下节课的教学内容。下面我用我最近的一节课为例说明一下：Module6 Unit1 Happy birthday! Step One: Warming up Greetings. T:Hello,boys and girls.Take out your hands,show me your fingers.How many fingers do you have?Now let’s count together,sing the song with the video.为了让学生快速的 熟悉英语学习环境、复习数词、活跃课堂气氛，我先播 放一首节奏欢快的英文儿歌《Ten little fingers.》Step Two :Leading in

The decision is partly based on an inability — or unwillingness — to spend thousands of dollars in tuition fees, especially given the suspicion that local schools are better anyway. After all, what more could one want from a basic education than a strong grounding in language, math and science, all subjects in which Asian schools famously excel.

The Irish people were also of Celtic origin. About a hundred years ago, as a result of its imperialist expansion, Britain ruled an empire that had one fourth of the world’s people and a quarter of the world’s land area. ?Geographical Features There are 3 political divisions on the island of Great Britain: England, Scotland and Wales.

浅谈小学英语特色教学的“十字”教学法 在小学英语教学中，常见的教学方法有“情景教学法”、“交际会话法”等众多教学方法。本人根据实际教学，总结出小学英语教学中的常用方法和手段，归纳出“听说读写画，思演唱赛答”这十字教学法，在此做简单介绍： 一、听：英语教学不仅要教学生英文的语言知识，更重要的是教学生掌握英语的言语技能，因此，众多英语专家都强调“听说领先”的重要性。具体到小学英语的“听”的教学，就是：“从学生学的方面来说，要多听老师、磁带或其他声音媒体的范读，也要有针对性地对比着听听同学、自己的读音与范读的异同;从教师教的方面来说，不仅要多听学生(尤其要多听单个学生)的发音，以检验自己的教学成果，而且自己也要多听标准语音，不断提高自身的语音水平。” 二、说：此处所指的“说”不仅包括“说话”，还包括“朗读”。听了范读之后，经过内部消化，再用“说”的方式将学习的成果表达出来，这才是学习英语的一大目的。具体说就是：从学生学的方面说，认真模仿和跟读范读者所读的字母、音素、单词、句子等，并经常朗读所学内容，在尽可能的情况下，多运用英语与他人交际;从老师教的方面说，在课堂上要坚持用英语教英语，在课外也要尽可能用英语与学生交流。 三、读：这里所指的“读”专指“阅读”，而不包括“朗读”。小学阶段学生由于所学英语词汇量少，阅读能力一般较差。但应尽量创造机会，让学生从开始学英语就培养阅读的习惯、多找一些与自己所学英语水平相匹配的英语读物来阅读，以巩固和发展所学英语知识。具体说就是：从学生学的方面说，要经常阅读已学过的课文、对话和教师自编的小短文、小话剧、现有的简易英语读物等;从老师教的方面说，要多多阅读有关本专业和教学方面的书籍，增强自身素质，提高自编短文的水平，多看学生的习作。 四、写：与读相似，小学生写的水平有限，但又不能完全不写。要本着学以致用、边学边用、用以促学的原则，从一开始就加紧写的训练。具体说就是：从学生学的方面说，要多做连词成句、修改病句、翻译、看图写话、小日记、小短文等练习;从老师教的方面说，要经常给学生撰写可供阅读的短文、可供表演的短剧等。 五、画：画画不仅能提高学生学习的积极性、展现部分学生特长，而且能尽可能避免本族语的干扰、让学生把英语直接与事物的形象结合起来。在教学过程中，不管学生画得像还是不像，教师都应该多表扬他，让学生大胆联想、大胆画，因为此处画画的目的只是表达学生的思想，即使不象，只要能让人看懂就行了。具体说就是：从学的方面说，可以用图画表达所学词的意思，或用连环画的形式表达一个句子的意思;从教的方面说，要多用简笔画来辅助教学，帮助学生理解。 六、思：虽然小学生的认识活动以感性认识为主，但若不从一开始就加以理性认识方面的指导，学生往往学得很肤浅，甚至与教师的期望大有差异。因此，充分给予学生以思考的机会将对学生学习起到画龙点睛的作用。具体说就是：从学的方面说，要经常思考教师所教知识自己是否已听懂?、自己的发音与标准音有多少差别?、现在所学的知识与以前所学的知识有什么联系?、怎样让学习的效果更好?等问题;从教的方面说，要经常思考自己教学的方法是否得当?学生的学习效果如何?怎样用更好的方法达到效果?等问题。 七、演：现行小学英语教材中每课都有情景对话，因此每一课都可以设计出一个小短剧让学生去表演。这样，可以大大提高学生上课时的兴趣。具体说就是：从学学的方面说，每学一课对话之时，就要本着表演的目的去学，学完过后要尽量参加表演，做到既学习了英语知识，又学会表达能力，此外还要多参加课外英语活动，锻炼自己的能力;从老师教的方面说，上课时经常抽出时间让学生表演并辅导学生的演出，经常改编或创作英语短剧以供学生演出之用，组织学生进行课外英语活动等。

英语特色的教学计划 本班是双语特色班级,幼儿皆已经过一年多的英语学习,实践证明:让孩子在语言发育时期就接触英语,同时运用英语和汉语表达自己的思想,对孩子的语言发展有很大好处。根据本班幼儿特点,我们制定了如下的专题计划.以达到专题实施的最佳效果: 一、选择多种多样的教学方法,提高幼儿英语的兴趣。 俗话说兴趣是最好的老师。幼儿园英语教育是一种启蒙,要把重点放在学习英语的兴趣上,如果幼儿对英语感兴趣,他在学习的过程中就会表现出一种积极的情绪,孩子会主动融入到活动中。反之,如果只是追求单词句子数量的多少,那会倒了孩子的胃口,孩子会处于一种消极状态。因此,在实际教学活动中,我们选取合适的教学方法,提高幼儿学英语的兴趣。 1、故事教学法。 故事对学龄前幼儿具有极大的吸引力,它情节生动活泼,内容极富发性和趣味性,例如在故事<聪明兔宝宝>中,先为孩子们讲一个兔妈妈要去买菜,要兔宝宝在家等候,却来了一只大灰狼要兔宝宝开门,兔宝宝发现是大灰狼,一齐将大灰狼赶跑的故事,在讲述中,将Come in,please. Go out.穿插其中,孩子们对此非常感兴趣,在不知不觉中,竟然全部掌握,且印象极深。又如:在教单词turnip时,我在引入时先说Imarabbit,Imveryhungry,Iwantsomethingtoeat.在这个情节引入后,幼儿复习各种已学过的食物单词,教师还是很饿,Imstillhungrynow时,巧妙地出示了食物萝卜引出新的单词turnip的学习,在老师的引导下引出《拔萝卜》,使幼儿与老师共同参与,自然学习新的知识。 2、情景教学法。 幼儿的语言能力是在实际运用过程中发展起来的,应创设各种有意义真实的情景,使他们想说、会说、喜欢说。语言的习得与周围环境息息相关。英语的学习是一种自然习得式的学习,而不是一种教学式的学习。语言的学习不只是学习几个单词,更重要的是运用语言和别人交往。因此,教师要以幼儿园为主体,从他们的兴趣出发提供一系列丰富的教学法情境,让幼儿园通过自由活动听来理解语言,在使用中学习语言。还有医院、餐厅、发廊等,通过玩角色游戏,幼儿所学语言在游戏中得到巩固,练习。久而久之,培养了幼儿的英语思维能力和运用能力,并解决了那种学时才用,平时放置脑后,容易遗忘的弊病。 3、游戏教学法。 曾经有一位教育家说过这样一句话:话小孩子生来是好动的,是以游戏为生命的。的确,游戏是幼儿最喜欢的形式之一。玩是孩子的天性,符合幼儿天性好动的特点。。游戏能激起幼儿学英语的兴趣,密切师生间的关系,提供幼儿充分运用语言的机会,调动学习积极性,将知识融于游戏中,让幼儿在情趣盎然的游戏中练习所学知识。也在不知不觉中掌握了知识。更重要是感受到学习英语的乐趣。因此,幼儿园英语活动应尽量游戏化,寓教育于游戏,让幼儿在游戏中轻轻松松学英语。如:户外体育游戏《老狼,老狼,几点钟》,这个游戏是幼儿熟悉而喜欢的。于是,我把游戏改Wolf,wolf,whatcanyoudo?是请一位幼儿当老狼,其它是小羊。小羊问Wolf,wolf,whatcanyoudo?老狼回答,Icaneat.然后开始追逐小羊。幼儿在他们原有的游戏经验的基础上,轻松愉快的习得了英语,学会了句型Whatcanyoudo?Icanjump/run...锻炼了英语听说能力,在玩中学习并得到发展。在这种情况下幼儿觉得学习英语好玩,从而为往后的学习打下了
