关于考拉的英语作文初一(中英文版){z}Title: The Endearing KoalaThe koala, an adorable creature native to Australia, has captured the hearts of many with its cuddly appearance and gentle demeanor.As a primary school student, I was delighted to learn about these fascinating animals and their unique characteristics.With their round, furry bodies and large, floppy ears, koalas bear a striking resemblance to teddy bears.Their fur, which ranges in color from grey to brown, is soft to the touch, making them irresistible to hug.However, looks can be deceiving, as koalas are not as docile as they appear.They are actually quite territorial and can become quite aggressive when defending their territory.Koalas are primarily herbivores, feeding on a diet of eucalyptus leaves.Despite their small size, they consume a staggering amount of leaves each day, sometimes up to a kilogram.This unique diet contributes to their distinctive scent, which has been described as resembling menthol or camphor.One of the most remarkable aspects of koalas is their ability to sleep for up to 18 hours a day.This excessive sleep is necessary for them to digest their diet of eucalyptus leaves, which are low in nutrients and high in toxins.To help with digestion, koalas have evolved a long, slow-movinggut, allowing them to extract as much nutrition as possible from their diet.Koalas also have a unique way of traveling, often referred to as "walking" or "hopping." They have strong, robust hind legs that enable them to leap from tree to tree with ease.This agility allows them to navigate their arboreal habitat effortlessly.In conclusion, the koala is a fascinating animal with many unique characteristics.From their cuddly appearance to their unique diet and sleep patterns, koalas have captured the imagination of people around the world.As we continue to learn more about these endearing creatures, it is our responsibility to protect and preserve their natural habitat, ensuring their survival for generations to come.。
《考拉小巫的英语日记》读后感《考拉小巫的英语日记》读后感1手捧《考拉小巫的英语日记》,品味着从字里行间透露出的真情实感,神思似乎被考拉小巫的奋斗所吸引了。
这本书以考拉小巫小学到大学所经历的一个过程,贯穿全文。
小学的贪玩任性、蛮横无理为初中生活付出代价做下铺垫,为高中的顿时感悟订下基础,为大学的努力奋斗、成长的感悟总结全文。
主人公考拉小巫让我明白了:只有持之以恒的努力,才有丰硕的果实。
小学生活,就和考拉小巫一样。
贪玩任性,自毁前途,初中为此付出了沉重的代价。
从入学以来,就一直在起跑线上开始往前跑,从年级的三百多名永不放弃的跑到一百二十五名。
老天爷是公平的,他不可能让你什么都得到,你想要得到一样东西,必须要放弃另外一样东西。
为此,我告别了QQ飞车游戏的诱惑,和QQ农场说了声:拜拜。
我们要和考拉小巫一样,有悔过之心,及时小学多么任性也好,那都是陈年旧事了。
我们要明白:一分耕耘一分收获,昨天的耕耘,是为明天做下铺垫。
心里有了目标之后,就大踏步的走出去,真正做一名勇敢的人生斗士。
《考拉小巫的英语日记》读后感212点到现在的1点50,我看完了我的偶像考拉小巫的英语学习日记。
上大学到现在,还从来没有一本书让我读的这么快,但是考拉小巫的书的的确确吸引了我,影响了我。

英语学习日记英语学习日记一天就要结束了,相信你有很多感悟吧,是时候静下心来好好写写日记了。
相信许多人会觉得日记很难写吧,下面是小编帮大家整理的英语学习日记,希望对大家有所帮助。
英语学习日记1有段时间是我学英语最疯狂的时候,我去报了班,然后课余时间不停地练习,希望早日学有所成。
后来去书店看英文类的书籍的时候发现了一本《考拉小巫的英语学习日记》,随便翻翻,立刻被书里面的学习英语的故事吸引了,里面的文字生动幽默,很贴近我现在学习英语的状态,迫不及待的翻了一遍,看到作者通过自己的努力被美国的大学录取后,自己也激动得热泪盈眶,放佛是自己获得了巨大的成绩似的,最后把它买回家细细琢磨。
后来我学习英语的时候,几乎是随时将考拉小巫的书放在书桌旁,随时在我懈怠或疲惫不堪的时候翻来读读。
有时觉得很励志。
也不断地将书中学习方法慢慢吸收。
手机里也下载了考拉小巫喜欢的歌曲《咸鱼》,明白了就算是咸鱼也要是个有梦想的咸鱼。
就这样在长达一年的时间里每天反复的对着英语度过。
后来,真的有了显著的进步。
直到培训班学完结束,我以高分通过了最后的考试,也算是为了短暂的英语学习画了一个完美的句号。
我现在开始英语更难的冲刺,也要开始制定计划,或许前方学习英语的路更加艰难,但是有过小小胜利的感觉,也就没那么害怕了,只要我用心,英语一定不是我人生路上的.拦路虎。

学习英语之口语篇根据听说读写译的顺序,该写口语篇了。
我明白咱们中国学生最怵的就是口语部分,因为通常单词背背就会了,写作搞一个模板也能高分了,往往考试都能考很高分,但只要一张嘴,就会发现口语水平并不是永远都和自己考试的分数成正比的。
隐约记得当年考TOEFL iBT 的时候,口语考了28分,所以会努力写好这篇文章,让更多人在口语方面有所获益。
1. 考拉练习口语的经历我练口语的经历分为三个部分,大学,研究生,和在美国。
以前上大学时,我和大家是一样一样的,最怵口语,死都不想张嘴,刚张嘴说了一个句子,就以“哎呀我太渴啦!”“哎呀我的牙套把我的舌头弄破啦!”“哎呀我还是先练习一下听力吧!”等等有道理和没道理的借口,结束了尚未开始的口语练习。
所以大学前两年的口语练习,只是三天打鱼两天晒网的状态,只有自己偶尔发狠了的时候,才会站在小湖边自己和自己说几句。
好像真正开始认真练口语是从大学三年级开始的,那个时候开始练,一是因为有可能要去考托福,二是传说专八考试要考口语(那个时候对专八考试是一点儿都不了解的。
),所以我和脏兮兮商量,干脆把刀架在自己脖子上吧,早是练,晚是练,还不如早点儿开始呢。
于是就开始了系统的练口语的方法(方法在下一部分)。
大学的时候练口语练了两年,然后就到了研究生。
上研的时候因为严重地要考TOEFL iBT,看了真题以后崩溃了,发现口语占30分,心想这下得认真地把练口语这件事列在日程上了,于是在临近托福考试的两个月的时候,又开始了每天练口语的过程(方法也在下一部分)。
研究生上了一年半,就跑到美国读研究生来了。
来了这里因为环境的驱使,口语的练习更是不敢懈怠。
说是练习,其实就是每天和别人的日常交流。
我很感谢我的专业,因为作为文科生,基本就是天天和学生老师交流,上课要发言,下课要和同学们聊天,做实习的机构更是全部白人美女白人老太太,所以天天说英语。
再加上偶尔放松的时候还要和Josh同学打电话,所以生活里基本充斥了练口语的各种机会,只有每天晚上回宿舍的时候才能和舍友说上几句中文。
学习英语学习英语之听力篇(兼考拉回国杂记之四)更新的内容请见橘红色字体。
:)决定必须一鼓作气把答应了许久的这篇文章写下来,要不然开学以后就永远没时间写了。
长话短说,直奔主题。
就按听说读写译的顺序来写吧。
一、听力1. 考拉的方法在以前很多很多文章里,都已经写过很多遍自己是如何练习听力的了(请查看这里)。
但是这次就稍微再写的具体一些吧。
所以,以后凡是询问“考拉你以前是怎么练听力的?”之类的问题,请一律看这里。
自己的总体方法:精听step by step,泛听VOA和BBC。
先说泛听:是从大二为专四做准备的时候,才开始练习听力的。
之前的练习都是很不规律、很无计划的练习,所以称不上为方法。
但从大二时,便开始了有自己的一套方法。
方法如下。
早晨基本六点或六点半起来开始听听力。
没有听过VOA慢速,因为真的觉得慢速如果听惯了,会形成对其很大的依赖性。
所以当时开始练习时,听的是VOA常速。
每天早晨从六点半一直听到八点,八点整上课的时候,VOA准时结束播音。
VOA结束以后,频率稍微向下拨一下,就是BBC,八点左右的时候BBC正好开始它的谈话节目,语速很快,很久以来一直都没有听懂,是后来积累了很久才开始听懂的。
听的时候,我是这么听的:要很用心很用心的去听,不要边听边和别人聊天,不要边听边看书,不要边听边观看行人走路。
一定要用心。
用心的意思是,播音员说一句以后,脑子里要尽量以最快的速度反应过来他在说的是哪些词和句子。
不要郁闷自己现在做不到。
做不到是正常的。
如果刚开始练习你就能百分之百正确快速地反映出来每一句话,那你不是人,洗洗睡吧。
如果现在你做不到,应该高兴才对,因为你有极大的提升空间。
一开始也因为自己做不到,听了等于白听,很是郁闷了一阵子。
但后来发现了:如果我能做到,我岂不是不用练?既然要练,就是因为自己做不到,为了自己早日能做到,所以更是要勤加练习。
所以那个时候非常用心地听,一开始是人家N长的句子出去,我才能明白几个词,慢慢到后来,就能明白一连串词,到最后来,就能把整个句子的意思听明白了。
写关于我最喜欢的动物考拉的英语作文初一全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1My Favorite Animal: The Cuddly KoalaHave you ever seen a koala before? They are just about the cutest, most huggable animal on the planet! Koalas are these fuzzy little bear-like creatures that live in the eucalyptus forests of Australia. With their big round ears, button noses, and soft gray fur, they kind of look like teddy bears that came to life. But koalas are definitely not bears - they are marsupials, which means their babies grow inside a pouch just like kangaroos!I first learned about koalas when I was in 2nd grade and my class went on a field trip to the zoo. As soon as I laid eyes on the koalas lazily lounging in the trees and munching on eucalyptus leaves, I fell head over heels in love. They just looked so peaceful and snuggly, like the perfect animal to cuddle up with for a nap. Since then, koalas have been my absolute favorite animal. Let me tell you some more about why I love them so much!One of the main reasons koalas are so adorable is because of how sleepy and relaxed they always seem. These little guys sleepbetween 18-22 hours per day! They are a nocturnal species, which means they are awake at night and sleep during the day. Koalas don't do a whole lot besides sleep, eat eucalyptus leaves, and occasionally move to a new tree. Their lives are super chill and low-key. I admire how koalas have totally mastered the art of relaxation. I wish I could be as blissed out and zen as a koala! Life moves pretty fast these days with school, activities, and using technology all the time. Sometimes I feel overscheduled and stressed. Watching koalas always reminds me to slow down, not take things too seriously, and make time to be lazy and lounge around.Another thing that makes koalas so huggable and lovable is their soft, plush fur coats. Can you imagine how it would feel to snuggle up with a koala's fuzzy belly? Their fur looks incredibly cozy, like the most comfortable stuffed animal you can imagine. Of course, you're never supposed to actually pick up a koala in the wild since they can get stressed and aggressive if bothered by humans. But just looking at their smooshy gray fur makes me want to squish them! Koalas actually have two different types of fur - an outer coat that is thick and wool-like to protect them from heat and cold, and an undercoat that is shorter and softer to insulate their bodies. No wonder they always look like the platonic ideal of a cuddly stuffed critter.While koalas sleep a whole lot, when they are awake their behavior is pretty funny and goofy in an endearing way. Despite being extremely lazy, koalas can be deceptively quick when climbing through the trees to munch on leaves. They have these long hooked claws and strong gripping arms that let them latch onto branches with ease. But their climbing style definitely looks more lumbering and haphazard than graceful! Koalas will hug the tree trunk with their bodies and use their back legs to propel themselves up the branches, often hanging upside down or contorting themselves into weird positions. They have excellent night vision and a keen sense of smell to sniff out the most tender eucalyptus leaves and shoots. Once they find a fresh new meal, koalas will chomp away with their sharp teeth while making ridiculously cute grunting and smacking noises. It's impossible not to giggle watching a koala enthusiastically pigging out on leaves! When they aren't eating or napping, koalas might cleaning themselves by licking their paws and rubbing their fur, almost like a cat grooming itself. Overall, koalas are just hilarious, quirky little weirdos when they are up and about.Unfortunately, these irresistibly lovable marsupials are currently facing a lot of threats to their long-term survival in the wild. Habitat loss caused by deforestation, brushfires, anddroughts has dramatically shrunk the koala's natural territory. With less eucalyptus forests, there are fewer places for koala populations to live, eat, and breed safely. Many koalas have also been killed by dog attacks, car strikes on roads that cut through their habitats, or getting caught in inescapable backyard swimming pools. The biggest hazard that koalas face today is probably climate change and extreme heat waves that parch the landscape and limit sources of drinking water. Dehydrated, hungry koalas struggling in increasingly harsh environmental conditions have substantially elevated risk of disease and starvation. It's a sad reality that this iconic Australian species could potentially go extinct in the next few decades if we don't do more to protect them. Conservation groups are working hard to preserve and expand koala habitats, safely relocate threatened populations, rehabilitate sick and injured koalas, and even create breeding programs to boost their dwindling numbers. I really hope all of these efforts succeed so that future generations can continue to appreciate and be captivated by these wonderfully dopey, huggable critters.In my opinion, the koala is just about one of the most perfect animals in existence. They are ridiculously cute and cuddly with their fluffy teddy bear looks and placid, sleepy demeanors. At the same time, koalas are totally unique marsupials with quirkybehaviors like their grunting noises, weird sleeping positions, and fierce eucalyptus cravings. I've been utterly smitten ever since that first koala encounter at the zoo. Whenever I see pictures or videos of koalas online, I can't help but smile篇2My Favorite Animal: The Cuddly KoalaHave you ever seen a creature so cute and cuddly that you just want to give it a big hug? For me, that adorable animal is the koala! These fuzzy, tree-dwelling marsupials from Australia have stolen my heart with their teddy bear looks and gentle nature. Let me tell you all about why koalas are the best!First off, just look at them! Koalas are covered from head to toe in a thick, woolly gray fur that makes them appear like living teddy bears. Their round, fuzzy ears and button noses only add to their overwhelming cuteness. Koalas have big, brown eyes that always seem to have a sleepy, contented look. And their faces! Those pudgy cheeks and sweet expressions melt my heart every time. I just want to snuggle them all day long.But koalas aren't just pretty faces. They're also fascinating creatures with some amazing traits. Despite being mammals, koalas don't sweat or pant to keep cool. Instead, they lick theirarms and use the saliva to regulate their body temperature. How cool is that? Koalas are also excellent climbers thanks to their sharp claws and specially adapted feet that grip onto branches. They spend most of their lives up in the tall eucalyptus trees of the Australian bush.Speaking of eucalyptus, koalas are really picky eaters! They feast almost exclusively on the leaves of certain types of eucalyptus trees. In fact, koalas get most of their water intake from the moisture in those leaves too. But eucalyptus isn't the most nutritious food, so koalas have to conserve their energy by sleeping up to 20 hours a day. Talk about living the life of leisure!As if koalas weren't cute and quirky enough, they also have some hilarious habits. Like how they bellow and grunt to communicate, sounding almost like a bellowing pig. Or how joeys (baby koalas) spend their first six months living in their mother's pouch before climbing onto her back and holding on tightly with their little arms. Can you imagine anything more precious?Sadly, these iconic Australian creatures are currently listed as vulnerable to extinction in the wild due to habitat loss, disease, dog attacks, and other threats. It breaks my heart to think of these gentle giants disappearing forever. Koalas are such unique,incredible animals that the world would be so much less bright and amazing without them around.That's why I think it's so important that we all do our part to protect koalas and their natural habitats. We can support conservation organizations, reduce our consumption of products made from eucalyptus trees, and speak up for protecting vital ecosystems like the Australian bushlands. Every little bit helps ensure these snuggly, sleepy marsupials will be around for generations to come.In the end, koalas are simply the whole package – cute, quirky, fascinating, and utterly huggable. From their soft fur to their gentle nature to their hilarious habits, they've captured my heart and imagination like no other animal. Koalas prove that even the smallest, sleepiest creatures can make a huge, lasting impact. I feel so lucky to share a planet with these unforgettable, eucalyptus-munching teddy bears. Here's to protecting them for years and years to come!篇3Here's an essay about my favorite animal, the koala, written in English with a tone suitable for a middle school student. The length is approximately 2,000 words.My Favorite Animal: The Cuddly KoalaHave you ever seen an animal that looks like a cute, fluffy teddy bear? Well, that's exactly what koalas remind me of! These adorable creatures are my absolute favorite animals, and I'm going to tell you all about them.First, let's talk about their appearance. Koalas are marsupials, which means that the female has a pouch where her baby, called a joey, grows until it's ready to come out into the world. They have a stocky, huggable body shape with a large head, a cute button nose, and round, fuzzy ears that stick up. Their fur is mostly gray, but they have a creamy white fur on their bellies, chest, and the insides of their ears.One of the coolest things about koalas is their fingerprints! Yes, you read that right – their fingerprints are just like human fingerprints, and each koala has a unique set. This means that if a koala ever committed a crime (though I can't imagine why they would), the police could dust for their prints and identify the culprit!Koalas live in the eucalyptus forests of eastern Australia. They spend most of their lives lounging in the branches of eucalyptus trees, munching on the leaves. In fact, they're so lazy that they sleep for up to 20 hours a day! But don't let their sleepynature fool you – koalas are excellent climbers, and they can quickly scamper up and down the trees.Speaking of eucalyptus leaves, did you know that koalas have a very specialized diet? They only eat certain types of eucalyptus leaves, and they're really picky about it. If a koala doesn't like the taste of a particular tree's leaves, it will simply move on to the next one. And even though they eat a lot of leaves, they don't actually drink much water because they get most of their moisture from the leaves themselves.Despite their cute and cuddly appearance, koalas can be quite feisty when they need to be. Male koalas are known for their loud, bellowing calls that can be heard from miles away. They use these calls to attract mates and defend their territories. And when two male koalas get into a fight, they can be pretty fierce, scratching and biting each other with their sharp claws and teeth.One of the biggest threats to koalas is habitat loss. As more and more eucalyptus forests are cleared for urban development or agricultural purposes, koalas are losing their homes and food sources. This has caused their populations to decline in some areas. Fortunately, there are many conservation efforts underway to protect these beloved animals and their habitats.I think koalas are just the cutest, most huggable creatures ever! Whenever I see pictures or videos of them, I can't help but smile. I would love to visit Australia one day and see them in their natural habitats, munching away on eucalyptus leaves and lounging in the trees. Maybe I could even get to pet one (though I'd have to be very careful not to get scratched or bitten by a feisty male)!In conclusion, koalas are my favorite animals because of their adorable appearance, their unique fingerprints, their lazy yet skilled climbing abilities, their specialized eucalyptus diet, and their occasional feisty behavior. They're truly fascinating creatures, and I hope that people will continue to work hard to protect them and their habitats for generations to come.篇4My Favorite Animal - The KoalaI absolutely love koalas! Those adorable, fuzzy eucalyptus-munching marsupials from the land down under just melt my heart. Ever since I was a little kid, I've been obsessed with them. I had koala stuffed animals, koala pajamas, you name it. My room was decked out with koala everything. Even now at 13 years old, I still can't get enough of those cuddly cuties.There are so many reasons why koalas are just the best. First off, look at how cute they are! With their fluffy gray fur, those big rounded ears, their button noses, and their teeny little koala hands and feet, they are quite possibly the most adorable creatures on the planet. They kind of look like teddy bears, but even cuter because they're real animals. I just want to snuggle them all day long.Koalas are also really sleepy and lazy, which I can totally relate to. They spend around 20 hours a day just chilling in eucalyptus trees, munching on leaves and napping. As someone who loves sleeping in on weekends, I vibe with their whole relaxed, low-energy vibe. Although I have to admit, even I can't sleep quite as much as they do!Despite being so lazy and laidback, koalas are actually really strong little dudes. Their feet have two opposable digits kind of like our thumbs that allow them to grasp onto branches super tightly. Their arms and legs are muscular enough to let them climb vertically up tree trunks. They use their powerful claws to strip leaves off branches to eat. For such a mellow, sleepy animal, they're deceivingly tough!Even baby koalas are just the most precious things. They're called joeys, and they're only about the size of a jellybean whenthey're first born! The joey has to crawl from the birthing area into its mom's pouch all by itself. Once inside the pouch, it attached to one of the mom's teats for milk for the next 6-7 months until it's big enough to ride on her back. Can you even imagine how tiny a jellybean-sized koala would be? Absolutely heart-meltingly cute.As if koalas weren't perfect enough already, get this - they're pretty much bacteria-free! Koalas produce hardly any of the bacteria that causes body odors, so they never smell bad. Their fur is also kinda waterproof, so it stays clean and fresh. I don't know about you, but having zero body odor and being naturally clean sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.Koalas are also only found natively in Australia. They've been living there for over 25 million years, way before humans even existed. In fact, their brains are specially developed to help them sleep up to 22 hours per day to conserve energy when food was scarce back in the day. How crazy is it that they've been around for millions of years, just sleepily munching on eucalyptus leaves?Speaking of eucalyptus, koalas are incredibly picky eaters. There are over 600 different eucalyptus tree species, but koalas will only eat around 120 of them. And they're not just munchingon any old leaves either - they prefer the most nutritious leaves growing on mature trees. Those fuzzy little snobs won't settle for anything less than the finest, most savory eucalyptus leaves, thank you very much.As you can probably tell by now, I could pretty much ramble on forever about how amazing koalas are. Their biology and behavior is just ed of wacky quirks that I find ed. Like, did you know that koalas don't sweat or pant to stay cool? At hot temperatures, they just lick their arms to pull moisture close to blood vessels and let the evaporation do its thing. Wild, right?Even koalas' method of communication is just weird and wonderful. You know how most animals make sounds to talk to each other? Well, koalas are pretty much silent. The main way they communicate is by smelling those signature eucalyptus-y odors each koala gives off. And get this - male koala "bellows" during mating season sound exactly like an ill-tempered human snoring! How hilarious is that?I could go on and on, but I don't want to bore you with every single koala fact I've got stored in my brain. Although, on second thought, maybe you'd find them just as fascinating as I do? No? Okay, okay, I'll try to wrap this up before your eyes totally glaze over.I think the biggest reason I love koalas so much is because they just seem to have life figured out in the most blissfully simple way. They literally just eat, sleep, hang out in trees, and mind their own business. No drama, no chaos, no complications - just pure, lazy, eucalyptus-munching relaxation. As a stressed-out, anxious middle schooler, I just really vibe with and admire their total lack of cares or worries. Koalas are livin' that tranquil, zen life that we humans could all take a few lessons from.So in summary - koalas are cute, sleepy, kinda weird, but most importantly, they've achieved a level of peaceful, unbothered existence that I can only aspire to. Between their unique biology, their quirky behaviors, and their old-as-time existence just vibing in the Australian eucalyptus trees, koalas will forever have my heart. I'm koala-obsessed through and through, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Those baked-bean brained fluffballs have me wrapped around their little fuzzy fingers for life!篇5My Favorite Animal: The Cuddly KoalaWhenever someone asks me what my favorite animal is, I always say "the koala" without hesitation. These adorable Australian marsupials have captured my heart with their fuzzy gray fur, their big button noses, and their sleepy smiles. Koalas are just the cutest!I first learned about koalas when I was in kindergarten and we had an Australia-themed week. The teacher showed us pictures and videos of these unique animals and I was instantly smitten. With their teddy bear looks and their tendency to sleep up to 20 hours per day snuggled up in eucalyptus trees, what's not to love?As I got older and learned more about koalas, my fascination only grew stronger. Did you know that koalas are marsupials, which means the moms carry their tiny babies (called joeys) in a pouch on their belly for about six months? The joeys are born so tiny and underdeveloped that they have to crawl from the birthing area into the pouch to continue developing. How crazy is that?Koalas have so many other amazing qualities too. Their big fuzzy ears can swivel around 180 degrees to pick up even the faintest sounds. Their big noses and keen sense of smell help them sniff out the most nutritious eucalyptus leaves to eat. Theirbig furry tails help prop them up as they snooze on tree branches. Seriously, koalas were designed by nature to be the perfect cute, cuddly tree-dwellers!As much as I adore koalas, I am saddened to know that they are considered vulnerable in the wild. Habitat loss due to urbanization, bushfires, and drought has severely impacted koala populations. These poor animals need our help to protect their homes in the eucalyptus forests.That's why a portion of my allowance money goes toward supporting wildlife organizations that protect koala habitats and rehabilitate sick, injured, or orphaned koalas. One day, I hope to travel to Australia and see koalas in their natural habitats. Maybe I'll even get to give one a little gentle snuggle if I'm super careful!Whenever I'm having a bad day, I just think about cuddly koalas munching on eucalyptus leaves or snoozing the day away in a comfy tree and it immediately puts a smile on my face. Koalas are definitely my "spirit animal" if there ever was one. Their care-free, sleepy personalities mesh so well with my own desire to just relax, nap, and enjoy life's simple joys like cuddling and eating yummy food.While I know my intense love for koalas is a bit silly and childish, I really don't care. To this day, whenever I see a cutekoala plushie, T-shirt, or figurine, I have to buy it to add to my collection. My dream vacation would be going on a "koala spotting" tour of Australia where I could see them in their natural habitats. And maybe, just maybe, I could get close enough to feel the softness of that iconic fluffy gray fur that I find so irresistible.So in summary, koalas are 100% my favorite animal and they always will be. Their unique biology, their sleepy personalities, their iconic fluffiness, and those bright eyes and bright noses create an irresistible blend of utter cuteness. Koalas have enriched my life since I was a little kid, filling me with happiness, laughter, and an appreciation for nature's most huggable creatures. Here's to many more years of being obsessed with the gray furry couch potatoes of the animal world!篇6My Favorite Animal: The Cuddly KoalaKoalas are, hands down, the cutest and most adorable animals on planet Earth! These fuzzy, gray marsupials native to Australia have captured my heart ever since I was a little kid. With their big fuzzy ears, button noses, and friendly teddy bear faces, who could resist cuddling up with a koala? Well, maybe not literally since they can get grumpy, but you get what I mean!The first thing that makes koalas so special is their unique appearance. Their thick woolly fur coats are soft and fluffy, just begging to be snuggled. Koalas have large nose pads that are leathery and perfect for their lifestyle, along with sharp claws to grip tree branches tightly. Their hind legs are bigger than their front legs, which helps them climb trees easily. And of course, those big round ears and bright eyes give them such an innocent, sweet expression that melts my heart every time.But looks aren't everything – koalas are fascinating creatures behaviorally too. For starters, they spend up to 20 hours per day sleeping and resting! Talk about taking it easy. When they are awake, koalas leisurely munch on eucalyptus leaves, which is their staple food source. Eucalyptus is very low in nutrients and high in toxins, so koalas have very slow metabolisms to conserve energy. They get almost all their water from the leaves too.Koalas mostly live all alone high up in eucalyptus trees. They have individual home ranges and personalities, some being shyer than others. Despite having sharp claws and teeth, koalas are pretty chill and not aggressive unless they feel truly threatened. At night, the males communicate by making a terrifying bellowing sound that sounds like someone snoringloudly! I've heard recordings and it's both creepy and kind of funny.Sadly, koala populations are declining and they are considered vulnerable to extinction in the wild. This is mainly due to habitat loss as eucalyptus forests are cleared for urban development and agriculture. Incidents like bushfires, dog attacks, and vehicle strikes are also threats. Climate change and diseases like chlamydia are making life harder for koalas too.That's why I really admire the many wildlife rescues, scientists, and conservationists working hard to protect koala habitats and treat sick or injured koalas. People dress up in big koala mascot costumes, adopt joeys (baby koalas) who lost their mothers, and raise funds for wildlife hospitals. Australia has listed koalas as vulnerable and implemented protection laws. I hope these efforts can help koala numbers rebound!In my dreams, I'd love to visit Australia one day and see koalas in their natural eucalyptus forest homes. I would be overjoyed just to spot one munching leaves or snoozing in a tree. Of course, I know wild koalas aren't socialized to humans and can scratch or bite if threatened. But from a respectful distance, I could bask in their cuteness and take tons of photos and videos! Maybe I could even hear those wacky bellowing calls at night.Then again, I may need to settle for visiting a koala encounter park or zoo instead. These places let you get decently close to koalas for photos while still keeping them safe. And who knows, maybe I could pay extra to snuggle and cuddle a koala for just a few precious minutes! I've seen videos and it looks like being hugged by the softest, most peaceful teddy bear ever.Whether in the wild or in a sanctuary, I have to see koalas in real life one day. Their delightful mix of supreme cuddliness and unique behaviors have made them my favorite animal for as long as I can remember. From their fuzzy ears to their sleepysun-bathing to their wacky snoring calls, everything about koalas is simply irresistible! They are nature's gift of charming, low-key adorableness.Just writing about koalas makes me smile from ear to ear. I hope sharing my unbridled love and enthusiasm for these "Aussie bears" has helped brighten your day too! Koalas forever!。
学习英语学习英语之听力篇(兼考拉回国杂记之四)更新的内容请见橘红色字体。
:)决定必须一鼓作气把答应了许久的这篇文章写下来,要不然开学以后就永远没时间写了。
长话短说,直奔主题。
就按听说读写译的顺序来写吧。
一、听力1. 考拉的方法在以前很多很多文章里,都已经写过很多遍自己是如何练习听力的了(请查看这里)。
但是这次就稍微再写的具体一些吧。
所以,以后凡是询问“考拉你以前是怎么练听力的?”之类的问题,请一律看这里。
自己的总体方法:精听step by step,泛听VOA和BBC。
先说泛听:是从大二为专四做准备的时候,才开始练习听力的。
之前的练习都是很不规律、很无计划的练习,所以称不上为方法。
但从大二时,便开始了有自己的一套方法。
方法如下。
早晨基本六点或六点半起来开始听听力。
没有听过VOA慢速,因为真的觉得慢速如果听惯了,会形成对其很大的依赖性。
所以当时开始练习时,听的是VOA常速。
每天早晨从六点半一直听到八点,八点整上课的时候,VOA准时结束播音。
VOA结束以后,频率稍微向下拨一下,就是BBC,八点左右的时候BBC正好开始它的谈话节目,语速很快,很久以来一直都没有听懂,是后来积累了很久才开始听懂的。
听的时候,我是这么听的:要很用心很用心的去听,不要边听边和别人聊天,不要边听边看书,不要边听边观看行人走路。
一定要用心。
用心的意思是,播音员说一句以后,脑子里要尽量以最快的速度反应过来他在说的是哪些词和句子。
不要郁闷自己现在做不到。
做不到是正常的。
如果刚开始练习你就能百分之百正确快速地反映出来每一句话,那你不是人,洗洗睡吧。
如果现在你做不到,应该高兴才对,因为你有极大的提升空间。
一开始也因为自己做不到,听了等于白听,很是郁闷了一阵子。
但后来发现了:如果我能做到,我岂不是不用练?既然要练,就是因为自己做不到,为了自己早日能做到,所以更是要勤加练习。
所以那个时候非常用心地听,一开始是人家N长的句子出去,我才能明白几个词,慢慢到后来,就能明白一连串词,到最后来,就能把整个句子的意思听明白了。
听不懂的时候,这么办:随它去吧。
真的,听现场广播的时候,如果听不懂,只能随它去吧。
当时自己条件烂,也没有笔记本,也没法从网上下载下来反复听,所以只能随它去。
你想啊,听的时候自己已经很认真很认真的听了,眼睛盯着那棵不动的树,认真到觉得树页都是由听到的单词组成的。
如果听不懂的话还不放自己一马,那自己就被逼死了。
千万别把自己逼死。
听多久:当时是基本每天早晨听将近2到3个小时的广播,貌似从大二开始到毕业基本没有间断过。
有时候下午五点的时候,BBC会有一些特别节目,所以也偶尔听一听。
然后说精听:精听用的材料是step by step,有人说买不到,如果书店里买不到的话,可以去网上看看,是华东师大出版的,一共四册,有学生用书和教师用书,我全部都买了。
这个step by step是我唯一一个精听过的材料。
听的时候,我是这么听的:从第一册到第四册,速度越来越快,难度越来越大。
学生用书里有题,所以自己先听一遍,做题。
再听一遍,检查答案。
对答案。
对的,放过去;错的,重新听一遍。
听出来为什么错了,放过去。
还是没听出来为什么错,再听一遍。
发现死活听不出来,看听力原文。
发现听力原文真TMD变态,竟然是那几个词,然后研究自己为啥没听出来。
听不懂的时候,这么办:听不懂的原因可能是:单词不认识,词组意思理解错了,对听力内容了解很少,连读,吞音,自己发音错了所以没听懂。
全部都把对的和错的答案理解完毕以后,把书合上,把这段听力重新闭上眼睛听一遍。
听的时候,方法和听广播一样:用心听(认真听之前不要把听力原文读熟,千万别读,读熟再听的话练的就是阅读了,不是听力)。
一定很用心,听一句就脑子里想一句,把那句英文映入脑子里。
直到自己能把每一个词很清晰很明白听懂为止。
对于这种练习,强烈建议买一个复读机。
当时听烂了N个复读机,后来证明是值得的。
这种精听练习当时我是放在晚上做的,因为我阅读差,晚上做阅读我容易睡着,所以晚上一般放自己擅长的东西。
精听练习当时每天晚上要做2.5个小时,和泛听一样也是坚持了三年。
此外是电影:除了精听和泛听的时候有机会练习自己的听力,此外还看了很多很多电影,所以当时也通过这个方式来练习了听力。
但看电影的时候,绝对是泛听。
因为当时没找着一个电影反复看反复看专门用来练听力,那么做太枯燥了我觉得。
不过不同的人有不同的方法,这个以后说。
除了自己爱好看的电影以外,还做了很多听译电影和预告片的工作,所以对听力也是一个间接的练习。
于是耳朵就不知不觉的磨成了现在这个样子。
所以事实证明,没有一夜练好的,都是经过了N年的慢慢练习和积累的过程。
我想想,从大二的某个下午发誓开始要提高听力直到现在,貌似是活生生地积累了六年吧。
2. 关于听力材料对于听力材料,真的没什么可以推荐的,因为我知道的材料很少很少。
我自己从头到尾用过的只有step by step,此外就是《英语中级听力》,英文貌似叫listen to this,是外语教研出版社出版的,就是何其莘的那个。
除了这两个资料以外,我就什么听力资料都不知道了,所以没办法推荐更多。
关于练习听力的网站,我只知道有一个传说叫普特听力,但是自己从来没有从那里下载东西听过。
因为当时大学的时候,自己没电脑,所以对于听力网站之类知道的很少。
后来知道了很多网站(就是博客右边列举的那一些),但因为当时听力已经不错了,所以自己并没有真的时常去逛那些网站,所以无所谓推荐。
博客右边的那些是觉得还不错的,如果不喜欢step by step或者中级听力,那么可以从右边那些网站里下载些自己感兴趣的段子听听,听的方法和以上介绍的一样。
关于材料,有一点要说:不管你用什么材料,其实差距真的不大,只要是native speaker说的纯正的英语(无论英音或美音),只要你用心练,用心听,长久坚持,慢慢积累,最后都是会达到一样的效果的。
我们以前不是总听说那种新闻么,生活在贫穷地方的孩子们,买不起高考各种模拟题册,只有一本教科书,于是他们啃啊啃啊,把教科书里的任何一点东西都已经学通了,人家最后考高考状元了。
道理是一样的,不管你用什么材料,只要你把这个材料吃透了,你是一定能练出来的。
以后别问这材料行不行,那套题管不管用,你就练就行了,对材料挑三拣四不愿意练习的、三天听这个两天听那个的,统统全是借口。
有上网挑材料的那点儿时间,你能多听半个小时了。
此外,如果练习听力是纯为了某个考试,比如四六级,专四专八,考研,托福雅思GRE,那么选择材料是尽量要选择与考试的听力材料相近的。
精听真题就不用说了吧,这是必须做的,但同时也可以在有时间的情况下,多挑一下相关主题的东西来听。
比如说,专四专八的听力都是从BBC和VOA里截出来的,所以对新闻听力就一定要练习,所以一定要去找一些新闻听力的素材来练。
3. 关于听力方法第一大部分只是介绍了自己的方法,但自己的方法并不适用于所有人,就好比并不是所有人都会喜欢step by step一样。
其实我觉得方法应该多多尝试,在最一开始练习听力的初期,完全可以尝试很多方法从而从中找出最适合自己的、自己认为最有效果最有效率的方法。
我那个方法其实现在想起来也挺傻的,尤其是每天几乎拍进去5个小时在听力上面。
我明白很多非英语专业的筒子们,因为要学习专业课,所以每天不可能拿出这么多时间来练习听力。
这样的情况,解决方法是:放泛听,抓精听。
大不了不泛听了呗。
但是精听是一定要练习的。
和以上说的一样,如果你的考试要考新闻听力,那你就把新闻听力当作精听来练;如果考的是老师讲课,那你就上网专门找老师讲课的段子来练习。
总之人家考啥你就精听啥,道高一尺魔高一丈,好好练好好积累,一定能提高。
昨天有两个筒子在facebook留言,询问听写对听力是否有帮助。
我自己从来没有试过听写这种方法,只是在考专八的时候稍微练习过一下,因为专八有那个题型。
因为我很懒,不爱写字,所以没有用过听写的方法,我只是一味地听啊听,所以我也不太知道听写是否有效以及如何练习。
但是,就像上一段说的,只要你认为合适你自己的方法,只要坚持下来,都是有效的。
一定要找到适合自己的方法,并坚持,这基本就是所谓的“捷径”了。
其实真的没什么捷径的。
4.关于英音和美音如果是针对考试的,那最好是考试里一般什么音,你就练什么音。
比如托福一般都是美音,那你就听美音;雅思一般都是英音,那就听英音。
如果考试里材料既有美音又有英音,那只能自认倒霉,各种音都得练。
其实也没什么的,听的越多,会的越多,对自己是有好处的。
不要抱怨。
如果自己不为应付考试、只是很单纯地想提高自己的听力,那也建议英音美音都听听。
听多了总不会有坏处的。
5. 关于听力里的单词我明白听力里如果遇到很多很多成串的不认识的单词,对自己打击是多么的大。
单词基本是听说读写译所有能力的基础,所以单词一定要背(汗,突然觉得是不是应该先写单词,再开始写听说读写译。
顺序搞错了。
:( Anyways,关于背单词,以后写(不会很以后,就这一两天吧)。
姑且假定单词量在六级的水平吧。
如果听力材料里遇到少量不认识的单词,方法是:随它去吧。
听力和阅读一样的,如果遇到少量不认识的单词,当时一定要放过去,强行培养自己对不认识的词的猜词能力,千万不要狂想这个词是什么意思,然后同时N句话已经叽里咕噜的过去了。
就算你再想知道这个词什么意思,也一定要放到最后看听力原文的时候再查。
记住,查一个记一个,单词量就是这么慢慢被扩大的。
如果听力材料里遇到很多不认识的单词,方法是:得重新审视自己的单词量了。
如果都是些专业词汇,那么偶尔积累几个也不错。
如果都是很四六级的词汇,自己竟然不会,那就得好好背词了。
6. 关于听广播的收音机谢谢一个筒子询问关于收音机的问题,我昨天本来记着要说的,但写着写着就忘记了,谢谢你提醒噢~我那个时候用的是“德生收音机”,那个时候买的很贵,貌似160多,具体记不清价钱了。
其实哪个牌子都无所谓,你去买的时候,一定要跟服务员说清楚,你是专门用来收听国外广播的,问问哪种能收听到,所以他们就会给你拿能收听到国外广播的了。
我买的德生收音机个头很大,相当于普通咱们用的小收音机的两倍,收听的非常清晰。
我是在呼和浩特,VOA和BBC的波段全国都不一样的,具体波段去百度稍微查一下就有。
不要问波段了,我不太记得了现在。
:( 在百度查一下就行的。
7. 关于如何集中注意力地听很奇怪的一件事是,在自己练习听力的全部过程中,貌似真没有哪一次是听着听着就睡着了,我感觉这在很大程度上是一个心态问题。
像读书一样,如果晚自习读政治书的话,是不是挺容易就睡着了;但如果你晚自习抱一本武侠小说或者言情小说读,也许就不那么容易睡着了。
所以,我觉得是一个心态问题和兴趣问题。
那个时候练听力,每天都把自己想象成一个要攻下某个敌人堡垒的小兵一样,每听一句都丝毫不敢松懈,听懂一句就高兴得不得了,听不懂一句就更不敢懈怠、更加认真起来。
