Country Garden and Me
On the way from Panyu City to Shunde City and approaching the conjunction point of both cities, a big advertisement board of the infamous Country Garden will catch your eyes. And on the board, a lovely girl gently holds a little white pigeon.
She looks at everybody with a sweet smile. Who is this girl? Let me tell you later. Country Garden is located at the Beijao town, Shunde City of Guangdong Province. Ten years ago when my Dad and Mom took me as a baby to Guangzhou, it was a wasteland here. But what does this piece of wasteland look like nowadays? Country Garden has been developed and enlarged rapidly on the ground of this land, and a great number of high-quality houses and apartments have been built up within the garden. Over the past decade, other nine country gardens with various unique designs have been erasing around the great city of Guangzhou. The construction and management of several gardens have engaged the devoted contributions from my Dad and Mom.
Country Garden has grown up together with me, and I am one of the witnesses of its growth and development.
英语作文和口语【二】
要提高学生的口语水平，就要分析影响学生口语水平提高的主要因素。笔者在近几年的教学中发现，影响学生口语能力提高的原因是多方面的，但主要有以下几个因素。
教师的口语能力教师自身素质参差不齐，如部分教师的口语能力不强，不能自如地进行口语交际，无法胜任课堂交际活动的组织和指导工作。同时，教师授课任务繁重，在职进修培训较少，口语水平的提高很难有质的飞跃。
教师的教学理念有些教师没有充分认识到口语的重要性，仍然把学生能否通过有关考试看成是语言学习是否成功的唯一标志。这种理念导致教师对学生口语能力培养的忽视，在课堂上很少有时间对学生进行口语训练，使学生失去了宝贵的语言交际的机会。
教师的教学方式有些教师的课堂教学模式、教学方法与手段较为单一，仍是“满堂灌”和“填鸭式”的教学方法，教师讲，学生听，教师读，学生跟。只是一味强调语言点的教学，不重视口语教学，忽视语言的交际性，除基本的课堂用语外，教师使用口语交际的空间范围不大，师生之间没有形成讲英语的氛围。
学生的口语基础由于高职学生生源的多样化，学生入学时的英语水平出现了群体差异。比如，普通高中学生基础较好，语法知识、读写能力有一定优势，但他们习惯了以听讲、记笔记为主的教学方式，不太适应更为灵活的以开口说为主的方式；对口升学的学生学过一些与专业有关的英语知识，有一定的知识面，但基础不太牢固，更不用说口头表达能力了。总之，学生是为通过中考、高考而学英语，注重的是笔头训练，缺乏听、说、读、写的有机结合，特别是忽视了英语口头表达能力的培养。进入职业院校后，相当多的学生仍旧遵循中学时养成的学习习惯，啃语法，没有对口语能力的培养给予足够的重视。
学生的学习心理口语的主动性、交际性、公开性、灵活性给学生形成了心理上的压力。中国学生大多性格内向，缺乏自信，害怕讲得不好有损面子而不敢开口。在课堂上，教师要花很多时间鼓励学生用英语表达，经过鼓励，学生才慢慢思考，小心谨慎地讲出一个句子。这样一来耽误了时间，完不成教学任务，教师便不再对学生进行鼓励训练。久而久之，产生恶性循环，越不开口讲就越不会讲，越不会讲就越怕开口讲，使学生形成心理上的障碍。
语言环境一个良好的语言环境对于提高学习者的口语能力往往起着潜移默化的作用。学习者常常是在不经意中受到良好的语言熏陶，从而培养出较好的语感和语言习惯。但由于客观条件的制约，很多高职院校尚未建立完备的外语环境，以致许多学生走出英语课堂，就很少有进行口语练习的实践机会，自然也难以培养自觉说英语的习惯。
测试手段测试手段往往是学习的指挥棒。到目前为止，高职英语水平测试主要采用笔试（含部分听力），而口语考试一直没有组织。这从客观上影响了教师和学生对口语的重视程度以及在口语训练上的积极性。
英语作文和口语【三】
Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.
He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then
addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."
