英語讀書筆記（十篇）1
一、在教學各個環節體現梯度。
在新授環節，討論、對話的形式引出新單詞—講述有關星期知識，明白新單詞—採用不同形式讀學習新單詞—同桌認讀練習新單詞—拍手歌鞏固新單詞—找規律寫單詞—歌曲唱出新單詞。無不體現由淺到深，由易到難。在結束課堂環節，佈置的作業體現“下要保底，上不封頂”原則，一是讓學生會寫七個單詞，二是讓學生把今天的收穫說給父母聽。
二、評價體現科學性。
“好言一句三冬暖，惡語傷人六月寒，”學生在英語方面樹立的自信心很脆弱，需要老師的細心呵護，不是沒有優秀的學生，而是教師缺少一雙善於發現的眼睛。教師要善於發現學生的優點，及時給予鼓勵，教師要善待學生的不足，及時給予鼓勵，但要注意度的把握在評價性語言方面體現科學性，不要動不動就“very good”，另外要針對問題本身，針對學生回答情況，要“量體裁衣，”不能是good， you did very well。 Best，等簡單重複。還有我們要善於利用肢體語言表達情感，一個人心的微笑，一個讚許的大拇指，一個認可的點頭，一個鼓勵的眼神同樣也會起到潛移默化的作用。
三、打好地基，注重單詞教學
只要打好堅實的基礎，才能蓋起摩天大樓，學生只有把單詞掌握紮實才能很好地達到運用的高度；只有把基礎做實、做厚，才能拓展延伸。在英語教學中，我們強調聽說領先，讀寫跟上，但往往是讀寫跟不上。因此教學中，我安排了大量讀的練習和寫的練習。
四、利用歌謠識記單詞，事半功倍。
在單詞教學中，我除了運用實物、圖片、簡筆畫外，歌謠運用的也很多，歌謠膾炙人口，通過教師自編的歌謠，會讓學生讀起來琅琅上口，很容易記住單詞，我認爲這也是我這節課的一個優點。
在教學中也存在一些問題，如時間上的安排還欠妥當，抽學生說的面還不夠廣，對學生的評價是注意了，但最後沒有落實到位等等，這還有待於我在今後的教學中去改進。
英語讀書筆記（十篇）2
I first read "Jane Eyre" in eighth grade and have read it every few years since. It is one of my favorite novels, and so much more than a gothic romance to me, although thats how I probably would have defined it at age 13. I have always been struck, haunted in a way, by the characters - Jane and Mr. Rochester. They take on new depth every time I meet them.。 theirs is a love story for the ages.
Charlotte Brontes first published novel, and her most noted work, is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story. Jane is plain, poor, alone and unprotected, but due to her fierce independence and strong will she grows and is able to defy societys expectations of her. This is definitely feminist literature, published in 1847, way before the beginning of any feminist movement. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the novel has had such a wide following since it first came on the market. It is also one of the first gothic romances published and defines the genre.
Jane Eyre, who is our narrator, was born into a poor family. Her parents died when she was a small child and the little girl was sent to live with her Uncle and Aunt Reed at Gateshead. Janes Uncle truly cared for her and showed his affection openly, but Mrs. Reed seemed to hate the orphan, and neglected her while she pampered and spoiled her own children. This unfair treatment emphasized Janes status as an unwanted outsider. She was often punished harshly. On one occasion her nasty cousin Jack picked a fight with her. Jane tried to defend herself and was locked in the terrifying "Red Room" as a result. Janes Uncle Reed had died in this room a little while before, and Mrs. Reed knew how frightened she was of the chamber. Since Jane is the narrator, the reader is given a first-hand impression of the childs feelings, her heightened emotional state at being imprisoned. Indeed, she seems almost like an hysterical child, filled with terror and rage. She repeatedly calls her condition in life "unjust" and is filled with bitterness. Looking into the mirror Jane sees a distorted image of herself. She views her reflection and sees a "strange little figure," or "tiny phantom." Jane has not learned yet to subordinate her passions to her reason. Her passions still erupt unchecked. Her isolation in the Red Room is a presentiment of her later isolation from almost every society and community. This powerful, beautifully written scene never fails to move me.
Mrs. Reed decided to send Jane away to the Lowood School, a poor institution run by Mr. Brocklehurst, who believed that suffering made grand people. All the children there were neglected, except to receive harsh punishment when any mistake was made. At Lowood, Jane met Helen Burns, a young woman a little older than Jane, who guided her with vision, light and love for the rest of her life. Janes need for love was so great. It really becomes obvious in this first friendship. Helen later died from fever, in Janes arms. Her illness and death could have been avoided if more attention had been paid to the youths. Jane stayed at Lowood for ten years, eight as a student and two as a teacher. Tired and depressed by her surroundings, Jane applied for the position of governess and found employment at Thornfield. The mansion is owned by a gentleman named Edward Fairfax Rochester. Her job there was to teach his ward, an adorable little French girl, Adele. Over a long period the moody, inscrutable Rochester confides in Jane and she in him. The two form an unlikely friendship and eventually fall in love. Again, Janes need for love comes to the fore, as does her passionate nature. She blooms. A dark, gothic figure, Rochester also has a heart filled with the hope of true love and future happiness with Jane. Ironically, he has brought all his misery, past and future, on himself.
All is not as it seems at Thornfield. There is a strange, ominous woman servant, Grace Poole, who lives and works in an attic room. She keeps to herself and is rarely seen. From the first, however, Jane has sensed bizarre happenings at night, when everyone is asleep 。There are wild cries along with violent attempts on Rochesters life by a seemingly unknown person. Jane wonders why no one investigates Mrs. Poole. Then a strange man visits Thornfield and mysteriously disappears with Mr. Rochester. Late that night Jane is asked to sit with the man while the lord of the house seeks a doctors help. The man has been seriously wounded and is weak from loss of blood. He leaves by coach, in a sorry state, first thing in the morning. Janes questions are not answered directly. This visit will have dire consequences on all involved. An explosive secret revealed will destroy all the joyful plans that Jane and Rochester have made. Jane, once more will face poverty and isolation.
Charlotte Brontes heroine Jane Eyre, may not have been graced with beauty or money, but she had a spirit of fire and was filled with integrity and a sense of independence - character traits that never waned in spite of all the oppression she encountered in life. Ms. Bronte brings to the fore in "Jane Eyre" such issues as: the relations between men and women in the mid-19 century, womens equality, the treatment of children and of women, religious faith and hypocrisy (and the difference between the two)， the realization of selfhood, and the nature of love and passion. This is a powerhouse of a novel filled with romance, mystery and passions. It is at once startlingly fresh and a portrait of the times. Ms. Bronte will make your heart beat faster, your pulse race and your eyes fill with tears.
我第一次讀《Jane Eyre》是在第八年級，從那以後每隔幾年讀一次。這是我最喜歡的小說之一，對我來說不僅僅是一部哥特式浪漫小說，儘管我可能在13歲時就定義了它。我一直被一些人物、簡和羅切斯特先生所困擾。他們每次見到我都會有新的深度……這是一個千古的愛情故事。
夏洛蒂·勃朗特最早出版的小說，以及她最著名的作品，是一部半自傳體的故事。簡是普通的、貧窮的、孤獨的、無保護的，但由於她強烈的獨立性和堅強的意志，她長大了，能夠違抗社會對她的期望。這無疑是女權主義文學，在1847出版，在任何女權運動開始之前。也許這就是爲什麼小說從第一次上市以來就有如此廣泛的追隨者的原因之一。它也是最早出版的哥特式浪漫小說之一。
Jane Eyre是我們的敘述者，他出生在一個貧窮的家庭。她的父母在她很小的時候，小女孩死了，被派去與她的叔叔和阿姨裏德在蓋茨黑德生活。簡的叔叔真的很關心她，公開地表達了他的感情，但列得太太似乎討厭這個孤兒，溺愛她溺愛自己的孩子，卻忽視了她。這種不公平的待遇強調了珍妮作爲一個不受歡迎的局外人的地位。她經常受到嚴厲的懲罰。有一次，她那討厭的表妹傑克和她吵架了。簡試圖保護自己，結果被鎖在可怕的“紅色房間”裏。簡的Uncle Reed剛纔在這間屋子裏死了，列得太太知道她對這個房間有多害怕。由於簡是敘述者，給讀者一個第一印象，孩子的感情，她被監禁的情緒狀態加劇。事實上，她幾乎像一個歇斯底里的孩子，充滿了恐懼和憤怒。她一再稱她的生活狀況“不公正”，充滿了痛苦。看着鏡子，簡看到了自己扭曲的形象。她看着自己的倒影，看到一個“奇怪的小人物”或“微小的幻影”。簡還沒有學會將她的激情歸因於她的理智。她的激情仍在不停地爆發。她在紅色的房間隔離是對她以後的隔離從幾乎每一個社會和社區。這個強大的，美麗的書面場景從來沒有移動我。
列得夫人決定把簡帶到洛伍德學校，可憐的機構，由Brocklehurst先生，他認爲痛苦使偉大的人。所有的孩子都被忽視了，除了犯錯誤時受到嚴厲的懲罰。在Lowood，簡遇到了海倫·彭斯，一個年輕的女人，比簡年長一點，他指導她與視覺、光和她的餘生的愛。簡對愛的需求是如此之大。這首友誼真的變得很明顯了。海倫後來死於發燒，在簡的懷裏。如果對青年人給予更多的關注，她的病和死亡本來是可以避免的。簡住在Lowood十年了，八個學生和兩個老師。累了，在她周圍的鬱悶，簡申請家庭女教師的地位和在桑菲爾德找到工作。豪宅是由一位叫愛德華·羅切斯特擁有。她的工作是教他的病房，一個可愛的法國小女孩，阿黛勒。在一個長時期的喜怒無常，神祕莫測的羅切斯特向簡和她在他。這兩個人形成了不太可能的友誼，並最終墜入愛河。同樣，簡對愛的需要也隨之而生，她的熱情也同樣如此。她綻放。一個黑暗、哥特式的人物，羅切斯特也有一顆充滿真愛的希望和簡未來的幸福。具有諷刺意味的是，他把自己所有的苦難、過去和未來都帶到了自己身上。
一切似乎並非在桑菲爾德。有一個奇怪的，不祥的女僕人，Grace Poole，生活和工作在閣樓的房間。她保持沉默，很少被人看見。然而，從第一天起，簡就感覺到了晚上在每個人都睡着的'時候發生的奇異的事情，一個似乎不認識的人在瘋狂地呼喚着羅切斯特的生活。簡想知道爲什麼沒有人去調查Poole太太。然後一個陌生男子拜訪Thornfield和神祕消失羅切斯特先生。那天深夜，簡被要求和那個男人坐在一起，而家裏的主人在尋求醫生的幫助。那個人受了重傷，因血液流失而虛弱。他在早上第一件事是坐在馬車上，狀態很糟。簡的問題沒有直接回答。這次訪問將對所有有關人員造成可怕的後果。一個爆炸性的祕密將摧毀簡和羅切斯特所做的所有歡樂計劃。簡將再次面臨貧窮和孤立。
夏洛蒂·勃朗特的女主人公Jane Eyre，不得已與美或金錢增光，但她有火一般的精神和充滿了誠信和

小學英語教學中的語音問題的幾個對策
重視語音教學使學生形成良好的英語表達能力需要一個過程尤其針對小學英語初學者在沒有音標的幫助下該如何掌握良好的語音呢？
1、 小學英語教師要不斷提高自身的業務修養不僅是教育教學方面的也是語音方面的至少要做到與教材錄音帶在發音方面保持一致。教師的發音是學生模仿的主要對象之一對學生的英語語音學習起指導和示範作用。在英、美英語相互交融、美國英語盛行的今天作爲英語教師學習並掌握美國英語乃大勢所趨面對新形勢要不斷加強學習更新自己的知識結構找出英語和美語的主要差異如詞彙、讀音、拼寫等方面。
詞語方面之不同簡單舉例如下
rp ga
學校中的班級 form gradeclass
商店 shop store
廁所 lavatory toilet
糖果 sweets candy
油炸土豆條 chips french fries
長褲 trousers pants
而英國英語和美國英語的最大差別在於發音rp和ga之間在音素、單詞發音、重音和句子語調方面均存在明顯差異。因此同時向學生灌輸兩種英語發音勢必會給他們的學習造成混亂與困惑。另外在母語的環境裏開始學習一門外語很多學生本來就帶有畏難情緒再讓他們同時學習兩種英語發音無疑會給他們增加不必要的負擔挫傷他們學習英語的積極性。讀音方面簡例如下
1）在passbathaskcan’tfast這一類單詞中rp唸作/α ：/而ga則爲//成了/ps/ /bs/ /sk/ /knt/ /fst/。
2）字母o在重讀閉音節中rp念爲/ /ga念爲/α /
rp ga
shop /∫ p/ /∫α p/
box /b ks/ /bα ks/
hot /h t/ /hα t/
3）在ga中只要單詞中有r字母就需發相應的/ r /音但在rp中/ r /音只出現在元音前如：
rp ga
work /w :k/ /w :rk/

Sense and Sensibility was the first Jane Austen published. Though she initially called it Elinor and Marianne, Austen jettisoned both the title and the epistolary mode in which it was originally written, but kept the essential theme: the necessity of finding a workable middle ground between passion and reason. The story revolves around the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. Whereas the former is a sensible,， rational creature, her younger sister is wildly romantic--a characteristic that offers Austen plenty of scope for both satire and compassion. Commenting on Edward Ferrars, a potential suitor for Elinor's hand, Marianne admits that while she "loves him tenderly," she finds him disappointing as a possible lover for her sister.

I finished reading the little peas in the window, and I felt a great deal about it. He was a bad boy in the eyes of most parents and teachers. The teachers hated her and thought she was noisy and disobedient. However, when it came to the park, everything was different. The headmaster was not as strict as the other teachers.
It seemed like an incredible thing to do in the tram, but the headmaster did it, and he didnt get impatient when he talked for more than four hours. When he saw the small doudou cesspit of things into a hill, he didnt lose his temper, not scold her not obedient, just light said 1: "remember back after finish."
Who doesnt like such a school?

老人與海是海明威的最不朽的作品。在非常簡單的語言告訴和權力，這是一個古老的古巴漁夫的故事，他運氣不佳，他的最高考驗——一個無情的，與遠處的海灣流的一個巨大的馬林魚的痛苦的鬥爭。

Several years ago, when I was a little girl I have already read the novel Jane Eyre. At that time, I was attracted by the touching story. But today, after watching the movie, I was moved by Jane, the adamant, independent, brave and honest girl. Why did we say Jane was an adamant and independent girl? Let’s look at her childhood. Her parents died when she was a little girl, so she was brought up by her aunt Mrs. Reed, an acute and ruthless woman. Jane led a very bad life in her house. They treated her as badly as a ragtag. But Jane didn’t surrender. Later, she was sent to Lowood school，an orphan school. In there she didn’t get what she had been expecting——simply being regarded as a common person, just the same as any other girl around. Mr. Brocklehurste even asked Jane to stand on the chair and vilipended her in front of all the students. But Jane didn’t yielded. And her only friend Helen died, Jane was very sad, but she was not depressive all the time. Instead, she studied and worked energetically. At last, she became a teacher of logwood, and later became the family teacher of Adele. From her experience, we could found that Jane was independent; she changed her fate by herself. She suffered more than other girls at her age. She was independent both in physically and mentally.
Jane was brave. She dared to say no to Mr. Brocklehurst, cut her beautiful hair with Helen, and pull the horse for Mr. Rochester. What’s more, she dared to accepted Mr. Rochester’s love and pursuit of her own happy life. Though she said:“ Do you think because I am poor, obscure, and little. I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!—I have as much soul as you—-and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it was hard for you to leave me, as it is not for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh; it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as it both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet,。 In her opinion, everyone is the same at the God’s feet. God hadn’t given her beauty and wealth, but instead, God gave her a kind mind and a thinking brain. These words expressed complete1y Jane ’s rebellious spirit．She told him her own feeling, and emphasized that they were equal.
As we know, there was strict distinguish in social stratum at that time. Mr. Rochester was in the high society, but Jane was only a family teacher. They were in quite different social stratums. What’s worse, in that society，people’s sense of love was on the basis of money．For the sake of money they could marry anyone even though the husband or the wife was an idiot on their eyes，money was everything，money was marriage. But unfortunately Jane was very poor. That’s to say, Jane should receive much rumor from society. In fact, she didn’t afraid of it. On the contrary, she accepted with no hesitation. When she knew Rochester’s wife was dead and he was blind, she went to look after Rochester determinedly. She didn’t care about anything else. And I still remember at the party, all the people from the high society laughed at Jane, they looked down upon Jane. She kept silent though her heart was very exciting. And to their surprise, Miss Ingrain was proved to be a loser, Jane defeated her though Jane had no property and beauty．Jane’ s plainness， poverty, position and disposition were contrasted to Ingrain obviously．Jane drove away those aristocrats from competitive stage．High position and great wealth showed by noble class was put aside．Jane got glorious victory．
Jane was self-respected and self-love. When she knew Rochester had a mad wife and she was still alive. Jane left. She couldn’t bare an incomplete love. She left her lover Rochester with contradiction and pain. Though she still loved him very much. She chose another road, which was endless. She was kind and strict to the moral concept. She couldn’t accept herself do something against the morality. She was self-respect.
To sum up, Jane was a charming girl 。What she attracted us was not the beautiful face, lovely figure, and sweet voice 。But her brave heart, intelligent brain and adamant character. So we didn’t surprise that Mr. Rochester chose Jane as his bride instead of Miss Ingrain. Because Jane was much mature and richer in soul. As a girl, I should learn from Jane. Especially in the materialistic society we should be in charge of our own fate. Don’t depend on others all the time. We should be independent 。Don’t lead a luxurious life and in hope of marring a rich man, thinking that your husband would change your fate, your social position. That’s silly. We should realize that only depend on your own struggle then you could really charge your fate. What’s more, we need to be self-respect and self-love. As far as I am concerned, as a girl if you don’t respect and love yourself, so how do you require others to respect you? In short, we need to learn from Jane Eyre.
英語讀書筆記（十篇）10
Brief introduction: Amir is the son of the famous merchant in Afghanistan. There are two servants in his house, Ali and his son Hassan. Amir plays with Hassan all the time in his childhood. Hassan is Hazara, while Amir is Pashtuns. Hazara is discriminated against by Pashtuns. So although Hassan believes that Amir is his friend, Amir does not agree. Amir tricks Hassan sometimes but Hassan never gets angry. Things go peacefully, until one night Amir sees three boys hit Hassan to the ground. Instead of help Hassan, Amir runs away. From that day on, Amir does not know how to face Hassan. In order not to be regretted every second, Amir finally makes Hassan and Ali leave his home. Just after that, Russian forces Amir’s country. Amir and his father have to move to America.
Comments: This book makes me remember my childhood. The first part of the book is only about some little things in Amir’s childhood. The warm and happy time he has with Hassan. They climb tree and hills, play games and tell stories. I am extremely upset to see Hassan leave. Amir thinks he hurts everyone, Hassan, Ali and his Baba. But the one he hurts most deeply is his own. Hassan leave is a wound in Amir’s heart, and it won’t recover forever. This stuff makes Amir hate the life in Afghanistan, because all the disgusting memories are at here. He always hide, hide himself deeply in the books, in his stories. Afghanistan is a country full of violence, Amir can’t live happily in this environment, his father is a true Afghanistan man, and he has force. But Amir doesn’t. Amir is a light boy who only like literary. He is different from other kids, he need a person to protect. He wants his father’s care and love, but his father hide his love deeply in heart, which makes Amir always feel unneeded. Maybe the true reason of the hurt around Amir is his father.
Digests:
My cheeks burned and guilt coursed through me, the guilt of indulging myself at the expense of his ulcer, his black fingernails and aching wrists. But I would stand my ground, I decided.
I blinked my heart quickening. She had thick black eyebrows that touched in the middle like the arched wings of a flying bird, and the gracefully hooked nose of a princess from old Persia-maybe that of Tahmineh.
They fell from the sky like shooting stars with brilliant, rippling tails, showering the neighborhoods below with prizes for the kite runners.
It just appeared, this other face, for a fraction of a moment, long enough to leave me with the unsettling feeling that maybe I’d seen it someplace before. Then Hassan blinked and it was just him again. Just Hassan.
Page: 163-401
Brief introduction: Amir becomes a popular writer. He meets a girl named Soraya in USA. They fall in love and get married. But they can’t have babies. His father died because of the illness. One of his father’s old friends calls him and invites Amir to his house. He tells the story over 20 years about Hassan and his family. He tells Amir that Hassan and his wife were killed by Taliban and he
asks Amir to find Hassan’s son, Sohrab. After a hard and dangerous trip with Talib, Amir does find Sohrab and wins his trust. But in order to get the visa to USA, Amir asks Sohrab to stay in the orphan for a year while Amir promised Sohrab before never send him to there. Sohrab try to kill himself because of this. Although he is overcome then, he refuses to say a word for a long time. Amir takes him back to USA and treats him good, waiting for his forgiveness. Then a kite competition held and Amir sees Sohrab’s smile when he wins. Amir sees the hope.
Comments: I can’t explain whether it is a happy or tragic ending. But I can say that Sohrab will get better and be a normal boy. Amir is hard-working. He cares about Hassan’s things. And he is always regretful for kicking Hassan out of his home. He thinks that Hassan died because of his action. He feels shamed. But he is a real human who has the sickness of humanity. That is why he would refuse to find Sohrab at the beginning and that’s why he asks Sohrab to go to orphan after promised not to. Certainly he does wrong things but in another way he does things anybody would choose to do. This book is not only about family and friends, is also about a kind of target or force, to help you run on whether if life is easy or hard.
Digests: We let him wrap us in his arms and, for a brief insane moment, I was glad about whatever had happened that night. (Predicative clause)
It was a protective gesture and I knew whom Ali was protecting him from. (Object clause)
I had crossed a line, and whatever little hope I had of getting out alive had vanished with those words. (Subject clause)
I had no idea if Hassan would still be there, if anyone would even know of him or his whereabouts. (Appositive clause)
I blinked my heart quickening. She had thick black eyebrows that touched in the middle like the arched wings of a flying bird, and the gracefully hooked nose of a princess from old Persia-maybe that of Tahmineh.
