新标准职业英语综合教程2第2单元作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Hi there! My name is Emma and I'm going to tell you all about what we learned in Unit 2 of our English class. It was super interesting!The unit was called "Workplaces" and it taught us lots of new words about different jobs and the places where people work. We started by learning words like "office", "factory", "construction site", and "store". The office is where people sit at desks and use computers. The factory is a big building where workers make things like cars or toys. A construction site is where they build new houses or buildings. And a store is where you can buy all sorts of stuff!Then we learned about some specific jobs. We talked about jobs like "teacher", "doctor", "chef", and "firefighter". A teacher works at a school and helps kids learn. A doctor works at a hospital and helps sick people feel better. A chef works in a restaurant kitchen and cooks yummy food. And a firefighter hasto be really brave - they put out fires and rescue people! Isn't that cool?After that, we practiced describing what people do at their jobs using verb phrases. Like a teacher "gives lessons", a chef "prepares meals", and a firefighter "operates equipment" and "provides emergency services". I thought those phrases sounded really grown-up and official!The hardest part was learning to talk about job qualifications and responsibilities. Qualifications are the things you need to get a certain job, like degrees or certifications. And responsibilities are the duties and tasks you have to do at your job. For example, to be a doctor you need to go to medical school for many years. And some of a doctor's big responsibilities are examining patients, prescribing medicine, and sometimes even performing surgery! Pretty intense stuff.We also learned how to write a basic job posting or advertisement. You have to include things like the job title, a little blurb describing the position, list of key responsibilities, qualifications needed, and instructions for how to apply. It was fun pretending to hire people for different wacky dream jobs like "Candy Taste Tester" or "Videogame Player"!Towards the end of the unit, we read a longer text about this really cool place called a "coworking space". It's kind of like an office, but people from different companies or who are freelancers rent desks or tiny offices to work at. I liked the idea because it seems more flexible and social than just working at home by yourself. The passage said coworking spaces often have fun extras like lounges, coffee bars, game rooms and event spaces too!My favorite part was the group activity where we had to design our own imaginary coworking space. My group decided to make ours a place just for kids with lots of games, art supplies, xboxes, and even a indoor playground! Of course we'd also have desks, computers and meeting rooms so kids could get work done too, but making it super fun was our main goal. We called it "The Kidpreneur Clubhouse" - catchy right?Well, that's pretty much everything I can remember about Unit 2. Learning about all the different jobs people do was really interesting. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up yet, but I feel like this unit gave me some good ideas! I could be a racecar driver, or an artist, or maybe even a scientist shooting rockets into space. As long as I work hard, I'm sure I'll find the perfect job for me. Thanks for reading, gotta run!篇2My Favorite JobHi everyone! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. Today I want to tell you all about my favorite job that I want to have when I grow up. It's a really cool job and I think you'll like it too!The job I want is to be a zookeeper! Zookeepers get to work with all kinds of amazing animals every single day. They help take care of the animals, feed them, clean up after them, and make sure they are happy and healthy. How awesome is that?If I was a zookeeper, I would love getting to hang out with the big cats like lions and tigers. They are so powerful and fierce!I would want to play with them and pet them, but I know you have to be really careful because they could hurt you if they get mad. The zookeepers have to be brave.I would also love spending time with the monkeys and apes. They are so funny and silly! I bet it's really fun watching them swing around and make weird noises. Sometimes they throw poop though, so I would have to watch out for that if I was a zookeeper. Yuck!The slithery snakes would probably be a little scary to work with as a zookeeper. Some of them are poisonous which means they could make you really sick if they bite you. But some snakes are friendly and don't bite at all. I think I would get used to them after awhile.One of the best parts would be getting to work with the gentle giants - the elephants, rhinos, and hippos! They are just massive. I would look like a tiny little speck next to those humongous animals. But I hear they can be really calm and nice as long as you don't make them mad. I would give them trees and bushes to munch on.Oh oh! And I can't forget about the super tall giraffes. Wouldn't it be crazy to stand right next to one of those? Their necks are as tall as a whole house! I would have to use a really long broom to reach up and brush their fur. They eat leaves right off the tops of trees. How cool is that?Of course, I would get to see all the cute, fluffy animals too like bunnies, sheep, and those awesome kangaroos that hop everywhere with their babies in their pouches. I might even be allowed to pet some of them sometimes. A zookeeper's life isn't all just cleaning up poop!There are so many different types of animals at the zoo, it would be impossible to get bored. Every day would be an adventure seeing what the funny monkeys are up to or learning about how to care for a new animal. Plus, you get to teach kids and share facts about the different creatures. I would love that part since I'm a kid myself!Zookeepers have to study biology and animal behavior to really understand how to take care of all the unique animals properly. They have to know what each species likes to eat, what temperatures and environments they need, how to keep them active and engaged, and so much more. It's like being an animal doctor almost! I'm really good at science, so I think I could handle that part.The thing I would hate most about being a zookeeper is probably having to clean out the smelly animal pens and pick up all the poop and gunk. That would be so gross! But I guess it's an important part of keeping the animals healthy. Maybe I could hold my nose and bear it since I'd get to play with the cute animals right after!Another hard part would be when animals get sick or injured. Zookeepers have to help give them medicine and bandage them up. I wouldn't want any of my animal friends to be hurting! And ifan animal passes away, that would be really sad. I might cry a lot. But overall there's way more happy times than sad times when you work that close with wildlife.Zookeepers get to interact with wild, exotic beasts from all over the world that most people never get to see in person. They get to learn their behaviors and help make sure they stay around for a long, long time. To me, that sounds like an amazing job!Some kids want to be firefighters, police officers, or astronauts when they grow up. That's fine, but for me, I can't imagine anything better than being a zookeeper. Getting to be up close with majestic creatures every day and helping take care of them would be a dream come true!Of course, I'm only 8 years old, so I've got a long way to go before I can start studying to be a real zookeeper. But I'm going to work really hard in school, especially in science classes, so I can learn everything I need to know. And then watch out lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!), because Timmy the Zookeeper is coming for you!篇3My Favorite ThingsHi everyone! My name is Emma and I'm going to tell you about some of my very favorite things in the whole wide world. Get ready because this is going to be super exciting!My #1 favorite thing is my amazing family. I have the best mom and dad ever. My mom works at a big office downtown. She's really smart and always helps me with my homework. My dad is a construction worker and he builds really cool buildings and houses. He's really strong and funny too! I also have an older brother named Jack who is 10 years old. Sometimes he can be annoying but he's actually pretty nice to me most of the time. We always have fun playing video games and watching movies together. Jack is my best friend.Another one of my favorite things is my dog Buddy. Buddy is a golden retriever and he's the cutest, fluffiest pup you'll ever see! Whenever I get home from school, Buddy comes running up to greet me wagging his tail like crazy. He always makes me laugh with his silly puppy dog faces and goofy personality. I love taking Buddy on walks around the neighborhood and to the dog park to play fetch. He's honestly just the sweetest, most loyal dog in the universe.Speaking of things I love to do, playing sports is definitely at the top of my list of favorite activities. Soccer is probably my #1sport - I play on a team every Fall and we practice twice a week after school. I'm a forward and I've scored lots of goals! I also really like basketball, swimming, and gymnastics. Basically any sport that involves running around and being active is a winner in my book. It's so much fun and keeps me healthy and energized. Plus my teammates are all my great friends so practices and games are just one big party.You know what else I cannot get enough of? Ice cream! Chocolate is my all-time favorite flavor but I honestly don't think I've ever met an ice cream I didn't like. My family loves going to the local creamery on Friday nights to get big sundaes or milkshakes. It's become our little weekly tradition. Whenever we have ice cream at home, I always beg my parents for an extra big scoop. It's just so delicious and creamy...I'm smiling just thinking about it!I'm a total bookworm too. Reading is one of my most very favorite activities ever. I'll read absolutely anything - novels, comic books, magazines, you name it! But I especially love fiction stories with adventure, mystery, or magic. Some of my favorite book series are Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, The Borrowers, and The Boxcar Children. I get totally swept up in the amazing worldsand characters. Reading just transports me to another reality for a little while. It's the best way to uso your imagination!Speaking of using my imagination, I really love art class at school. Getting to draw, paint, sculpt with clay - it's all just so fun and creative. I'm certainly no master artist or anything, but I have a blast working on different projects. Making crafts like potholders and jewelry is tons of fun as well. Anything where I can tap into my creativity gets two thumbs up from me. My room at home is practically wallpapered with all my various artwork!Boy, this is a ton of favorites, huh? Let me try to wrap it up. A couple other things I love are the beach/ocean, going camping with my family, playing fun games like Candyland or Chutes & Ladders, and watching movies (my favorites are animated Disney/Pixar films). Oh and of course candy and other sweet treats are high on the list as well!So those are just some of my many, many favorite things in this awesome world we live in. There are endless sources of happiness and wonder if you just take a minute to appreciate the little joys in life. Spending quality time with loved ones, delicious snacks, playing games and sports, reading and using my creativity - these are the things that make me smile ear-to-ear. Ifeel so grateful to have such an amazing family, friends, home, and millions of tiny pleasures that brighten each and every day.What about you? What are some of your most very favorite things? I'd love to hear all about the special people, activities, foods, and miscellaneous awesomeness that makes your heart happy. The more things to smile about the better, am I right? Well, thanks for reading about my faves - that's all I've got for today. Until next time...bye!篇4Unit 2 - The Working WorldHiya! My name is Billy and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to tell you all about the working world because that's what we learned about in English class. It was really interesting!First up, we learned about different kinds of jobs people can have. There are sooooo many! My dad is a lawyer which means he helps people with laws and goes to court. My mom is a doctor and she helps sick people feel better. I think both of those jobs sound hard!Some other cool jobs are police officers who catch bad guys, firefighters who save people from fires, and astronauts who goto space! I'd love to be an astronauts and fly a rocket ship. Wouldn't that be awesome?Then we learned about workplaces. A workplace is where you go to do your job. My dad's workplace is an office with lots of desks and computers. My mom's workplace is a hospital with beds for sick people.Other workplaces are stores where people sell things, restaurants where chefs cook yummy food, and schools where teachers help kids learn. I'm really glad my workplace is just my school and not somewhere boring like an office!We also talked about what people wear to work. It's called a uniform or work clothes. Police officers wear cool uniforms with badges and hats. Doctors and nurses wear scrubs which are kind of like pajamas. Construction workers wear hard hats and boots to stay safe.My work clothes are just my regular clothes like t-shirts, shorts, and sneakers. Although sometimes I haveto wear fancier clothes like a polo shirt or a dress for special days at school. I don't mind too much though!Another big part of the working world is schedules and hours. A schedule is a plan that says when youhave to work. Mydad works from 9am to 6pm on weekdays. That's a looooong time! I'm so lucky I just have to go to school from 8:30am to 3pm. My mom has a crazier schedule because she has to work night shifts sometimes when other doctors aren't there.We learned that different jobs have different hours based on their schedules. Some people work part-time, which is just a few hours a day. Others work full-time, which is most of the day. A few people even have to work overnight!The last thing we covered was teamwork. Teamwork means working together as a group to get something done. Lots of jobs need good teamwork. Doctors, nurses, and other hospita lworkers have to team up to take care of patients. The cashiers and stockers at a grocery store are a team to keep the store running well.Even kids like me use teamwork! When we have group projects at school, we all have to cooperate and do our parts to get a good grade. Teamwork is really important.Well, that's all the main stuff I learned about the working world! It was a really cool unit. I can't wait to grow up and get a job...just maybe not one where I have to work ridiculous hours like my parents! Being a kid is hard enough work if you ask me. Thanks for reading, bye!篇5My New English Textbook is So Cool!Hi everyone! I'm so excited to tell you about my new English textbook for this year. It's called the New StandardCareer-Oriented Comprehensive English Course 2, and it's awesome! The second unit we just started is all about work and jobs. Learning about careers is so much fun.I can't wait to study all the different job titles and what people do at work. There are so many neat careers to learn about. My dad is an accountant, so I know a little about that job already. But I want to learn about being a doctor, scientist, teacher, chef, firefighter, and all the rest!In the first part of the unit, we're learning basic vocabulary words related to work and the workplace. That means learning the names of different occupations like "dentist" and "zookeeper." It also covers objects and things you'd find in an office, such as computers, desks, filing cabinets, and so on. The vocabulary section has really neat pictures that make it easy to remember what each word means.My favorite part so far has been the dialogues where people talk about their jobs. I love trying to imitate their conversationswith my classmates. It's funny to pretend to be a businessman asking my friend to make some photocopies! The dialogues show common situations that happen at work like attending meetings, giving presentations, and talking on the phone. I can't wait to learn more phrases for workplace smalltalk.The dialogues also sometimes describe what people's typical work days are like. For the firefighter one, they talked about putting out fires, giving CPR, rescuing cats from trees, and other heroic things firefighters do. The scientist dialogue mentioned running experiments, analyzing data, and making groundbreaking discoveries. I think it's so fascinating to learn the nitty-gritty details of how people actually spend their days for different careers.Another really interesting section covers business writing skills. So far we've learned how to format basic things like memos, emails, and reports typically sent between coworkers and managers. The examples show us how to properly organize these documents, what language to use, and standard conventions for professional communication. Maybe I'll get to put those skills to use if I have a part-time job when I'm older!The unit also has tips on interview techniques, networking, workplace etiquette, and so much more. I love the role-playingactivities where we practice greeting others, making introductions, and pretending to interview for different jobs. It's such a blast and makes me feel like a grown-up!Of course, no English textbook would be complete without grammar, reading, and listening exercises. I'll be honest, those parts can be pretty dry at times. But they do help cement all the new words and phrases I'm learning about work and business. The readings cover topics like the daily routines of certain professionals, major industries across different countries, the benefits of freelancing versus traditional employment, and inspirational stories about people's career journeys. As for the listening, we hear people talking about their job searches, experiences at work, office anecdotes, and other work-related discussions.Overall, I'm really enjoying Unit 2 so far. Getting this inside peek into the professional world makes me excited to have a career someday. Maybe I'll be a marine biologist and get to swim with dolphins all day! Or I could be an artist and create amazing paintings. A chef could be fun since I love food so much. Honestly, I'm still pretty undecided on what I want to be when I grow up. But learning about so many fascinating jobs is giving me lots of ideas to consider.I can't wait to see what other career topics are covered in future units of this textbook. I just know Unit 2 is preparing me really well already. Learning all this workplace language and etiquette is making me feel way more grown up. Who knew studying could be this engaging and open up my eyes to the different options for my future? Thanks to this awesome new textbook, I'm becoming a knowledgeable career girl before I've even had my first job!篇6My New English ClassHi! My name is Tommy and I'm 10 years old. I just started a new English class this year called "New Standard Vocational English" and I want to tell you all about it!The class is really cool because instead of just learning boring grammar rules and vocabulary words, we get to learn English through different jobs and careers. In Unit 1, we learned all about being a waiter or waitress at a restaurant. We practiced taking food orders, describing different dishes on the menu, and even role-played being servers and customers. It was a lot of fun!But my favorite unit so far has been Unit 2 all about being a tour guide. Miss Lee, my English teacher, turned our wholeclassroom into a little tourist office. We made brochures and maps for an imaginary city called "Unitopolis." Then we took turns giving tours around the classroom while the other students pretended to be visitors.To get ready, we first had to learn a lot of new vocabulary words related to traveling, sightseeing, and giving directions. Like how to say words like "departure," "arrivals," "check-in," "baggage claim," and stuff like that. We also learned expressions that tour guides use like "If you'll follow me..." or "Our next stop will be..."Then we studied different world-famous landmarks and tourist attractions so we could describe them on our tours. I learned all about places like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Great Pyramids in Egypt, the Taj Mahal in India, and the Statue of Liberty in New York City. Giving directions was kind of tricky at first because I had to remember things like "go straight," "turn left," "it's on your right," and so on.When it was finally time to actually give our tours, I was really nervous! But Miss Lee had decorated our classroom with so many cool things that it made it easier. She had made little paper models of famous buildings and put up pictures of famouspaintings and sculptures. There were even stuffed animals representing wildlife you might see on a safari!My favorite part was when I got to take the other students through our "Unitopolis Zoo." I got to describe all the different animals like lions, elephants, and zebras. I even roared like a lion once which made everyone laugh. After we finished going through all the exhibits, I thanked everyone for "coming" and told them to visit the gift shop on their way out for souvenirs!Some of the other tours my classmates gave were amazing too. Peter took us on a tour of "Unitopolis Museum of Art" while Jessica guided us through "Ancient Unitopolis Ruins." It was awesome how creative everyone got with their imaginary cities and tours.At the end of the unit, we had a contest to vote for the best tour guide in the class. The winner got to be Class Tour Guide for a whole week! That meant they got to lead warm-up activities and games all related to their "Unitopolis" tour. I didn't win, but Mary did a great job as our Class Guide teaching us fun new travel words and directions.I learned so much English from this unit by pretending to bea tour guide. Things finally started clicking into place about using the right tenses and sentence structures to describe places, giveinstructions, and talk about the past, present and future. It was way more fun than just memorizing grammar rules from a textbook.My parents were really impressed when I could tell them all about the Leaning Tower of Pisa and Great Wall of China in English. I'm glad this is a multi-year English course too because I'm already excited to learn what other cool jobs and careers we'll get to explore next. Maybe something adventurous like being a explorer, scientist or race car driver? I'll be sure to let you know!For now, I'm working on my souvenir sales pitch: "Get your Unitopolis t-shirts, keychains and coffee mugs here!" Maybe I'll get to use it if Miss Lee lets us open a real gift shop in our classroom. Who knows what fun we'll have next in New Standard Vocational English?。

Early in the morning and right after lunch are popular meeting times. Many business people hold working breakfasts, lunches and dinners to accomplish two things at the same time and meals are often served or brought into the workplace for meetings.When scheduling a meeting, consider the travel needs of the participants. An 8:00 a.m. meeting that forces people to get up at 5:30 a.m. may be unproductive. Even if the participants arrive on time, they may be too tired to accomplish anything during the meeting. Nonetheless, early morning scheduling is not unusual.In a meeting that involves presentations, it is important to talk with each presenter in advance to find out how much time he or she will need. In this case the final agenda should reflect input from everyone participating in the meeting.If you need to hold a series of meetings, schedule a time for the next meeting at the end of the current one. To schedule the first meeting, write a memo or send an email message instead of using the telephone. Scheduling a meeting by telephone can take two or three days as you call and re-call participants with conflicting schedules.Key: 1. T 2. F 3. FTask 5 10 minutes Objective:Ss can find specific information from listening to a passage related to the theme.Script:A business meeting is where people come together in an organized manner to discuss matters and make decisions. Here is the procedure that should be followed when holding a business meeting.Before the meeting, all relevant people should be notified. This can be done by letter, memo, notice board, telephone or in person. They should be told the place, the date and time of the meeting and what it is about.At the meeting, the chairperson will introduce each item on the agenda and will invite people to discuss it. The chairperson will conduct the meeting, ensuring that people stick to the point and that everyone who wants to speak gets the opportunity to do so. The chairperson must try to guide the discussion towards an agreed decision; if this is not possible the chairperson may propose a vote.During the meeting, there usually is a person, often a secretary, assigned to take down the minutes. The minutes are records of everything that is discussed and any decisions that are made. They will be typed up afterwards and circulated to all the relevant people.Key: C → A → D → B → ESpeaking 45 minutes Task 6 45 minutes Objective:Ss are able to practice chairing meetings and giving comments.Steps:• Ss read Task 6.• Ss work in pairs, one as a chairperson and the other as a participant.Key: (Omitted)Hours 6-7:Reading B 45 minutesNew words 5 minutes Objective: Ss can get familiar with the new words and expressions, etc.Steps:• Ss listen to the new words and expressions, etc.• Ss read the new words and expressions, etc.Fast reading 20 minutes Objective:Ss can comprehend Reading B.Steps:• Ss read the passage.• Provide help if needed.Task 1 10 minutes Objective:Ss can decide whether the following statements are true or false according to the passage.Steps:• Ss read the passage.• Ss complete the task.• Ss compare their work with others.• Select Ss to present their work.KeyKey: 1.
