2013中石油职称英语考试课文详解

1.The V alue of Time时间的价值1."Time" says the proverb "is money". This means that every moment well-spent may put some money into our pockets. If our time is usefully employed, it will either produce some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. There can thus be no doubt that time is convertible into money. Let those who think nothing of wasting time remember this; let them remember that an hour misspent is equivalent to the loss of a banknote; and that an hour utilized is tantamount to so much silver or gold; and then they will probably think twice before they give their consent to the loss of any part of their time.1.employ v. 使用，采用，雇佣，使忙于employer n. 雇主，老板employee n. 雇员，从业人员employment n. 使用，职业，雇佣Employment rate 就业率，雇用率2.Either …or… 要么…要么…; 二者择一的Neither… nor… 两者都不Both… and… 两者都3.fetch 取来，接来，到达4.add to增添，添加，加强5.so as to 以便，以致6.enable sb to do sth 使得某人做某事7.There is no doubt that…毫无疑问8.think nothing of… 把… 视为平常think a lot of… 看重；对… 高度评价9.convertible adj. 可改变的，可交换的convert v. … into… 使转变，转换，使…改变信仰10.be equivalent to…11.be tantamount to…相当于…; 无异于的If you say one thing is tantamount to another, more serious thing, you are emphasizing how bad, unacceptable, or unfortunate the first thing is by comparing it to the second thing.例句：What Bracey is saying is tantamount to heresy. 布里斯正在说的无异于异端邪说。

小度关于英语作文

小度关于英语作文Sure, here are some paragraphs for you:1. English is a crazy language, don't you think? I mean, why do we park on driveways and drive on parkways? It'sjust one of those things that make you scratch your headand wonder.2. I remember when I first started learning English, I thought I would never be able to master it. But now, I can confidently say that I speak it fluently. It's amazing how much progress you can make when you put your mind to it.3. One thing I love about English is the variety of accents you can hear. From British to American to Australian, each accent has its own charm and character.It's like a whole new world of language just waiting to be explored.4. Have you ever noticed how some English words soundso similar but have completely different meanings? Like "weather" and "whether" or "bear" and "bare." It's like a never-ending puzzle trying to figure out which word is which.5. English is definitely a language full of surprises. Just when you think you've got it all figured out, you come across a new word or phrase that throws you for a loop. But that's what makes it so interesting and exciting to learn.。

英语教案：必修3 Unit 2 Language English is a Crazy Language

There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple, English muffins were not invented in England, nor French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies... while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet at all, are meats. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slow, boxing rings are squareand a guineapig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't ring, grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham?If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, two geese. So. one moose, two meese? One index, 2 indices? Is cheese the plural of choose? If teachers taught, why don't preachers praught?If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Do people have noses that run and feet that smell? And do they park on driveways and drive on parkways?How does a slim chance and fat chance be the same while wise man and wise guy are opposite? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another?When a house burns up, it burns down. You fill in a form by filling it out and an alarm goes off by going on. When stars are out, they are visible but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And when I wind up my watch I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it.。

English is a crazy language

Let's face it -- English is a crazy languageby Richard Lederer Let me show you guys something first1. The bandage was wounded around the wound.2. we must polish the polish furniture.3. The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.4. They were too close to the door to close the door5. The wind was too strong to wind the sail.6. Upon seeing the tear in the painting, I shed a tear.Let's face it, English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, money does not grow from money plant, neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we'll find that quicksand work slowly, boxing ring are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor it is a pig. And why is it that writer s write but fingers don’t fing? Grocers dont groce and hammers don’t ham?If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, two geese. So one moose, teo meese? One index, two indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends, and get rid of all but one of them, what do you all it? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetable, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes all English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm goes off by going on." English is the most widely spoken language in the history of our planet, used in some way by at least one out of every seven human beings around the globe. Half of the world's books are written in English, and the majority of international telephone calls are made in English. Sixty percent of the world's radio programs are beamed in English, and more than seventy percent of international mail is written and addressed in English. Eighty percent of all computer texts, including all web sites, are stored in English. English has acquired the largest vocabulary of all the world's languages, perhaps as many as two million words, and has generated one of the noblest bodies of literature in the annals of the human race.Nonetheless, it is now time to face the fact that English is a crazy language -- the most loopy and wiggy of all tongues. In what other language do people drive in a parkway and park in a driveway? In what other language do people play at a recital and recite at a play? Why does night fall but never break and day break but never fall? Why is it that when we transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when we transport something by ship, it's called cargo? Why does a man get a hernia and a woman a hysterectomy? Why do we pack suits in a garment bag and garments in a suitcase? Why do privates eat in the general mess and generals eat in the private mess? Why do we call it newsprint when it contains no printing but when we put print on it, we call it a newspaper? Why are people who ride motorcycles called bikers and people who ride bikes called cyclists? Why -- in our crazy language -- can your nose run and your feet smell?Language is like the air we breathe. It's invisible, inescapable, indispensable, and we take it for granted. But, when we take the time to step back and listen to the sounds that escape from the holes in people's faces and to explore the paradoxes and vagaries of English, we find that hot dogs can be cold, darkrooms can be lit, homework can be done in school, nightmares can take place in broad daylight while morning sickness and daydreaming can take place at night, tomboys are girls and midwives can be men, hours -- especially happy hours and rush hours -- often last longer than sixty minutes, quicksand works very slowly, boxing rings are square, silverware and glasses can be made of plastic and tablecloths of paper, most telephones are dialed by being punched (or pushed?), and most bathrooms don't have any baths in them. In fact, a dog can go to the bathroom under a tree -- no bath, no room; it's still going to the bathroom. Anddoesn't it seem, a little bizarre that we go to the bathroom in order to go to the bathroom?Why is it that a woman can man a station but a man can't woman one, that a man can father a movement but a woman can't mother one, and that a king rules a kingdom but a queen doesn't rule a queendom? How did all those Renaissance men reproduce when there don't seem to have been any Renaissance women? Sometimes you have to believe that all English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane: In what other language do they call the third hand on the clock the second hand? Why do they call them apartments when they're all together? Why do we call them buildings, when they're already built? Why it is called a TV set when you get only one? Why is phonetic not spelled phonetically? Why is it so hard to remember how to spell mnemonic? Why doesn't onomatopoeia sound like what it is? Why is the word abbreviation so long? Why is diminutive so undiminutive? Why does the word monosyllabic consist of five syllables? Why is there no synonym for synonym or thesaurus? And why, pray tell, does lisp have an s in it?English is crazy.If adults commit adultery, do infants commit infantry? If olive oil is made from olives, what do they make baby oil from? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian consume? If pro and con are opposites, is congress the opposite of progress? Why can you call a woman a mouse but not a rat -- a kitten but not a cat? Why is it that a woman can be a vision, but not a sight -- unless your eyes hurt? Then she can be "a sight for sore eyes." A writer is someone who writes, and a stinger is something that stings. But fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce, hammers don't ham, humdingers don't humding, ushers don't ush, and haberdashers do not haberdash.If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese -- so one moose, two meese? One index, two indices -- one Kleenex, two Kleenices? If people ring a bell today and rang a bell yesterday, why don't we say that they flang a ball? If they wrote a letter, perhaps they also bote their tongue. If the teacher taught, why isn't it also true that the preacher praught? Why is it that the sun shone yesterday while I shined my shoes, that I treaded water and then trod on the beach, and that I flew out to see a World Series game in which my favorite player flied out?If we conceive a conception and receive at a reception, why don't we grieve a greption and believe a beleption? If a firefighter fights fire, what does a freedom fighter fight? If a horsehair mat is made from the hair of horses, from what is a mohair coat made?A slim chance and a fat chance are the same, as are a caregiver and a caretaker, a bad licking and a good licking, and "What's going on?" and "What's coming off?" But a wise man and a wise guy are opposites. How can sharp speech and blunt speech be the same and quite a lot and quite a few the same, while overlook and oversee are opposites? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?If button and unbutton and tie and untie are opposites, why are loosen and unloosen and ravel and unravel the same? If bad is the opposite of good, hard the opposite of soft, and up the opposite of down, why are badly and goodly, hardly and softly, and upright and downright not opposing pairs? If harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions, why are shameful and shameless behavior the same and pricey objects less expensive than priceless ones? If appropriate and inappropriate remarks and passable and impassable mountain trails are opposites, why are flammable and inflammable materials, heritable and inheritable property, and passive and impassive people the same? How can valuable objects be less valuable than invaluable ones? If uplift is the same as lift up, why are upset and set up opposite in meaning? Why are pertinent and impertinent, canny and uncanny, and famous and infamous neither opposites nor the same? How can raise and raze and reckless and wreckless be opposites when each pair contains the same sound?Why is it that when the sun or the moon or the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible; that when I clip a coupon from a newspaper I separate it, but when I clip a coupon to a newspaper, I fasten it; and that when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I shall end it?English is a crazy language.How can expressions like "I'm mad about my flat," "No football coaches allowed," "I'll come by in the morning and knock you up," and "Keep your pecker up" convey such different messages in two countries that purport to speak the same English?How can it be easier to assent than to dissent but harder to ascend than to descend? Why is it that a man with hair on his head has more hair than a man with hairs on his head; that if you decide to be bad forever, you choose to be bad for good; and that if you choose to wear only your left shoe, then your left one is right and your right one is left? Right? Small wonder that we English users are constantly standing meaning on its head. Let's look at a number of familiar English words and phrases that turn out to mean the opposite or something very different from what we think they mean: A waiter. Why do they call those food servers waiters, when it's thecustomers who do the waiting?I could care less. I couldn't care less is the clearer, more accurate version. Why do so many people delete the negative from this statement? Because they are afraid that the n't...less combination will make a double negative, which is a no-no? I really miss not seeing you. Whenever people say this to me, I feel like responding, "All right, I'll leave!" Here speakers throw in a gratuitous negative, not, even though I really miss seeing you is what they want to say.The movie kept me literally glued to my seat. The chances of our buttocks being literally epoxied to a seat are about as small as the chances of our literally rolling in the aisles while watching a funny movie or literally drowning in tears while watching a sad one. We actually mean The movie kept me figuratively glued to my seat -- but who needs figuratively, anyway? A non-stop flight. Never get on one of these. You'll never get down. A near miss. A near miss is, in reality, a collision. A close call is actually a near hit. My idea fell between the cracks. If something fell between the cracks, didn't it land smack on the planks or the concrete? Shouldn't that be my idea fell into the cracks (or between the boards)?A hot water heater. Who heats hot water? This is similar to garbage disposal. Actually, the stuff isn't garbage until after you dispose of it. A hot cup of coffee. Here again the English language gets us in hot water. Who cares if the cup is hot? Surely we mean a cup of hot coffee. Doughnut holes. Aren't those little treats really doughnut balls? The holes are what's left in the original doughnut. (And if a candy cane is shaped like a cane, why isn't a doughnut shaped like a nut?)I want to have my cake and eat it too. Shouldn't this timeworn cliché be I want to eat my cake and have it too? Isn't the logical sequence that one hopes to eat the cake and then still possess it? A one-night stand. So who's standing? Similarly, to sleep with someone. Who's sleeping? I'll follow you to the ends of the earth. Let the word go out to the four corners of the earth that ever since Columbus we have known that the earth doesn't have any ends. It's neither here nor there. Then where is it? Extraordinary. If extra-fine means "even finer than fine" and extra-large "even larger than large," why doesn't extraordinary mean "even more ordinary than ordinary"?The first century B.C. These hundred years occurred much longer ago than people imagined. What we call the first century B.C. was, in fact the last century B.C. Daylight saving time. Not a single second of daylight is saved by this ploy. The announcement was made by a nameless official. Just about everyone has a name, even officials. Surely what is meant is "The announcement was made by an unnamed official." Preplan, preboard, preheat, and prerecord. Aren't people who do this simply planning, boarding, heating, and recording? Who needs the pretentious prefix? I have even seen shows "prerecorded before a live audience," certainly preferable to prerecording before a dead audience. Pull up a chair. We don't really pull a chair up; we pull it along the ground. We don't pick up the phone; we pick up the receiver. And we don't really throw up; we throw out.Put on your shoes and socks. This is an exceedingly difficult maneuver. Most of us put on our socks first, then our shoes. A hit-and-run play. If you know your baseball, you know that the sequence constitutes "a run-and-hit play." The bus goes back and forth between the terminal and the airport. Again we find mass confusion about the order of events. You have to go forth before you can go back. I got caught in one of the biggest traffic bottlenecks of the year. The bigger the bottleneck, the more freely the contents of the bottle flow through it. To be true to the metaphor, we should say, I got caught in one of the smallest traffic bottlenecks of the year.Underwater and underground. Things that we claim are underwater and underground are obviously surrounded by, not under the water and ground. I lucked out. To luck out sounds as if you're out of luck. Don't you mean I lucked in? Because we speakers and writers of English seem to have our heads screwed on backwards, we constantly misperceive our bodies, often saying just the opposite of what we mean: Watch your head. I keep seeing this sign on low doorways, but I haven't figured out how to follow the instructions. Trying to watch your head is like trying to bite your teeth.They're head over heels in love. That's nice, but all of us do almost everything head over heels. If we are trying to create an image of people doing cartwheels and somersaults, why don't we say, They're heels over head in love?Put your best foot forward. Now let's see.... We have a good foot and a better foot -- but we don't have a third -- and best -- foot. It's our better foot we want to put forward. This grammar atrocity is akin to May the best team win. Usually there are only two teams in the contest. Similarly, in any list of bestsellers. only the most popular book is genuinely a bestseller. All the rest are bettersellers. Keep a stiff upper lip. When we are disappointed or afraid, which lip do we try to control? The lower lip, of course, is the one we are trying to keep from quivering. I'm speaking tongue in cheek. So how can anyone understand you? Skinny. If fatty means "full of fat," shouldn't skinny mean "full of skin"? They do things behind my back. You want they should do things in front of your back? They did it ass backwards. What's wrong with that? We do everything ass backwards.English is weird.In the rigid expressions that wear tonal grooves in the record of our language, beck can appear only with call, cranny with nook, hue with cry, main with might, fettle only with fine, aback with taken, caboodle with kit. and spick and span only with each other. Why must all shrifts be short, all lucre filthy, all bystanders innocent, and all bedfellows strange? I'm convinced that some shrifts are lengthy and that some lucre is squeaky clean, and I've certainly met guilty bystanders and perfectly normal bedfellows.Why is it that only swoops are fell? Sure, the verbivorous William Shakespeare invented the expression "one fell swoop," but why can't strokes, swings, acts, and the like also be fell? Why are we allowed to vent our spleens but never our kidneys or livers? Why must it be only our minds that are boggled and never our eyes or our hearts? Why can't eyes and jars be ajar, as well as doors? Why must aspersions always be cast and never hurled or lobbed?Doesn't it seem just a little wifty that we can make amends but never just one amend; that no matter how carefully we comb through the annals of history, we can never discover just one annal; that we can never pull a shenanigan, be in a doldrum, eat an egg Benedict, or get just one jitter, a willy, a delirium tremen, or a heebie-jeebie. Why, sifting through the wreckage of a disaster, can we never find just one smithereen? Indeed, this whole business of plurals that don't have matching singulars reminds me to ask this burning question, one that has puzzled scholars for decades: If you have a bunch of odds and ends and you get rid of or sell off all but one of them, what do you call that doohickey with which you're left?What do you make of the fact that we can talk about certain things and ideas only when they are absent? Once they appear, our blessed English doesn't allow us to describe them. Have you ever seen a horseful carriage or a strapful gown? Have you ever run into someone who was combobulated, sheveled, gruntled, chalant, plussed, ruly, gainly, maculate, pecunious, or peccable? Have you ever met a sung hero or experienced requited love? I know people who are no spring chickens, but where, pray tell, are the people who are spring chickens? Where are the people who actually would hurt a fly? All the time I meet people who are great shakes, who can cut the mustard, who can fight City Hall, who are my cup of tea, who would lift a finger to help, who would give you the time of day, and whom I would touch with a ten-foot pole, but I can't talk about them in English -- and that is a laughing matter.If the truth be told, all languages are a little crazy. As Walt Whitman might proclaim, they contradict themselves. That's because language is invented, not discovered, by boys and girls and men and women, not computers. As such, language reflects the creative and fearful asymmetry of the human race, which, of course, isn't really a race at all. That's why we wear a pair of pants but, except on very cold days, not a pair of shirts. That's why men wear a bathing suit and bathing trunks at the same time. That's why brassiere is singular but panties is plural. That's why there's a team in Toronto called the Maple Leafs and another in Minnesota called the Timberwolves.That's why six, seven, eight, and nine change to sixty, seventy, eighty, and ninety, but two, three, four, and five do not become twoty, threety, fourty, and fivety. That's why first-degree murder is more serious than third-degree murder but a third-degree burn is more serious than a first-degree burn. That's why we can open up the floor, climb the walls, raise the roof, pick up the house, and bring down the house.In his essay "The Awful German Language," Mark Twain spoofs the confusion engendered by German gender by translating literally from a conversation in a German Sunday school book: "Gretchen. Wilhelm, where is the turnip? Wilhelm. She has gone to the kitchen. Gretchen. Where is the accomplished and beautiful English maiden? Wilhelm. It has gone to the opera." Twain continues: "A tree is male, its buds are female, its leaves are neuter; horses are sexless, dogs are male, cats are female -- tomcats included."Still, you have to marvel at the unique lunacy of the English language, in which you can turn a light on and you can turn a light off and you can turn a light out, but you can't turn a light in; in which the sun comes up and goes down, but prices go up and come down -- a gloriously wiggy tongue in which your house can simultaneously burn up and burn down and your car can slow up and slow down, in which you fill in a form by filling out a form, in which your alarm clock goes off by going on, in which you are inoculated for measles by being inoculated against measles, in which you add up a column of figures by adding them down, and in which you first chop a tree down -- and then you chop it up."。

English is a Crazy

is a Crazy Language 英语是一门疯狂的语言's face it-English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England nor French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads,which aren't sweet,are meat.1.让我们接受现实吧--英语是一种疯狂的语言。

茄子（eggplant，字面意为鸡蛋植物）里并没有鸡蛋，汉堡包（hamburger，字面意为火腿夹饼）里也没有火腿。

同样，菠萝（pineapple，字面意为松树苹果）里既没有松鼠也没有苹果。

松饼（English muffin，字面意为英式松饼）并不是英国人发明的，而炸薯条（French fries，字面意为法式油炸食品）也不是法国人的发明。

“甜肉”（sweetmeat）指的是蜜饯，而“甜面包”（sweetbread）不是甜的，它指的是牛杂碎。

take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes,we find that quicksand can work slowly,boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea noris it a pig. And why it is that writers write but fingers don't fing,grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham If the plural of tooth is teeth,why isn't the plural of booth beeth If you have one goose,two geese,why not one moose,two meese,or oneindex,two indices2.我们理所当然地接受了英语的一切，但是如果我们分析一下英语中似是而非的情况，我们马上就会发现“快的沙子”（quicksand，流沙，也指陷阱，困境）往往走得很慢，“拳击的圆圈”（boxing rings，拳击场）是方的，“几内亚猪”（guinea pig，天竺鼠）既不是来自几内亚，也不是猪。

综合检测卷(二)Unit 2English around the world(时间：100分钟；总分值：120分)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每题2分,总分值30分)AEnglish is the most widely used language in the history of our planet.One in every seven human beings can speak it.More than half of the world's books and three quarters of international mails are in English.Of all languages ,English has the largest vocabulary -perhaps as many as two million words.However ,let's face it：English is a crazy language.There is no egg in an eggplant ,neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger.Sweetmeats are candy ,while sweetbreads ,which aren't sweets ,are meat.We take English for granted.But when we explore its paradoxes (矛盾) ,we find that quicksand can work slowly ,boxing rings are square ,public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes ,but fingers don't fing ,grocers don't groce ,and hammers don't ham? If the plural(复数) of tooth is teeth ,shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth ?One goose ,two geese -so one moose ,two meese?How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same ,while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites ,while quite a lot and quite a few are alike ?How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people ,not computers ,and it reflects the creativity of human beings.That's why ,when stars are out ,they are visible；but when the lights are out ,they are invisible.And why ,when I wind up my watch ,I start it；but when I wind_up this essay ,I end it.1．According to the passage ________．A．sweetmeats and sweetbreads are different thingsB．there should be egg in an eggplantC．pineapples are the apples on the pine treeD．boxing rings should be round2．Which of the following is the correct plural?A．Beeth.B．Geese.C．Meese. D．Tooth.3．The underlined words "wind up〞in the last paragraph probably mean "________〞．A．blow B．roll upC．get hurt D．finish4．Through the many paradoxes in the English language ,the writer wants to show that human beings are ________．A．clever B．crazyC．lazy D．dullBEnglish has surely become the global language.Whenever we turn on the news to find out what's happening in East Asia ,or Africa ,or anywhere ,people are being interviewed and telling us about it in English.If people look at the facts about the amazing reach of the English language ,many would be surprised.English is used in over 90 countries as an official or semi－official language.English is the working language of many international institutes(研究所)as well as of most international research scientists.It is also the language that Indian parents and black parents wish their children to learn.It is believed that over one billion people worldwide are now learning English.One of the most important causes of the spread of English around the world is that Europeans are willing to accept it as their language.English is spreading from northern Europe to the south and is now the second language in countries such as Sweden ,Norway ,Netherlands and Denmark.If one visits any of them ,it would seem that almost everyone there can talk in English.Recently ,a report said that at the beginning of 2001 ,English was the most widely known foreign language with 43% of Europeans saying they spoke it.The report also said that with over 89% of the population speaking English ,Sweden now has the highest percentage of English speakers.What's more ,English is the language rated as most useful to know ,and over 77% of Europeans who do not speak English as their first language consider it useful.5．By writing this passage ,the writer mainly wants to tell us ________．A．why so many people speak English around the worldB．that English has become a language spoken all over the worldC．about the development of English in EuropeD．something about the English－speaking countries6．The writer mentions all of the following EXCEPT ________．A．Asia B．EuropeC．Africa D．America7．What does the underlined word "rated〞in the last paragraph mean?A．Stood. B．Agreed.C．Considered. D．Argued.8．What can we learn from the passage?A．Black parents don't want their children to learn English.B．English is used in over 90 countries as an official language.C．Not all international research scientists speak English at work.D．English has become the most important language in Sweden.CAn 80－year－old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45－year－old highly educated son.Suddenly a crow (乌鸦)perched on the tree near their window.The father asked his son , "What is this ?〞The son replied , "It is a crow.〞After a few minutes ,the father asked his son the 2nd time , "What is this ?〞The son said , "Father ,I have just now told you ‘It's a crow.'〞After a little while ,the old father again asked his son the 3rd time , "What is this ?〞"It's a crow ,a crow ,a crow ,〞said the son loudly.A little after ,the father again asked his son the 4th time , "What is this ?〞This time the son shouted at his father , "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? ‘IT IS A CROW'.Are you not able to understand this ?〞A little later ,the father went to his room and came back with an old diary ,which he had kept since his son was born.Opening a page ,he asked his son to read that page.When the son read it ,the following words were written in the diary： "Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa ,when a crow was sitting on the window.My son asked me 23 times what it was ,and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow.I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times.I did not at all feel annoyed.I rather felt affection for my innocent child.〞9．In what tone did the son say to his father "It's a crow ,a crow ,a crow〞?A．Hurried. B．Impatient.C．Excited. D．Surprised.10．Why did the father ask the same question again and again ?A．Because he couldn't understand what his son said.B．Because he was too old to remember anything.C．Because he wanted to make his son angry.D．Because he wanted to see how patient his son would be.11．How old was the old man when his son asked him 23 times "What is this ?〞?A．80 years old. B．45 years old.C．38 years old. D．35 years old.12．What is the most suitable title for the passage?A．A Crow B．An Old ManC．An Old Dairy D．Father's LoveDAmerican high school students are terrible writers ,and on ,more accurately ,robot－readers -computers programmed to scan students'essays and spit_out a grade.Mark Shermis ,professor of the College of Education at the University of Akron ,is helping to hold a contest ,set up by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation( WFHF) ,that promises $100 ,000 in prize money to programmers who write the best automated grading software. "If you're a high school teacher and you give a writing task ,you're walking home with 150 essays ,〞Shermis said. "You're going to need some help.〞Automated essay grading was first proposed in the 1960s ,but computers back then were not up to the task.In the late 1990s ,as technology improved ,several textbooks and testing companies jumpe ,computers are used to grade essays on South Dakota's student writing assessments and a handful of other exams ,including the TOEFL test of English fluency ,taken by foreign students.The Hewlett contest aims to show that computers can grade as well as English teachers -only much more quickly and without all that depressing red ink. "Automated essay scoring is objective ,〞Shermis said. "And it can be done immediately.If students finish an essay at 10 pm ,they will get a result at 10：01 pm.〞Take ,for instance ,the Intelligent Essay Assessor ,a web－based too marketed by Pearson Education ,Inc.Within seconds ,it can analyze an essay for spelling ,grammar ,organization ,and help students to make revisions.The program scans for key words and analyzes semantic(语义的) patterns ,and Pearson claims that it can understand the meaning of text much the same as a humanreader.13．From Paragraph 3 ,we know that in the 1960s ________．A．computers were not easy to getB．automated grading software was popularC．people refused automated essay gradingD．computers couldn't grade essays automatically14．What does Paragraph 4 focus on?A．The prize of Hewlett contest.B．The advantages of automated essay scoring.C．The application of automated essay scoring.D．Teachers'opinions about Hewlett contest.15．The Intelligent Essay Assessor can ________．A．rewrite essaysB．underline the mistakes in red inkC．understand the meaning of textD．correct key words and patternsⅡ.阅读填句(共5小题；每题2分,总分值10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最|正确选项.选项中的两项为多余选项.(2021·河北省衡水市阜城中学9月月考英语试题)Taking good notes is a time－saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways.16.________ Second ,your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test.Third ,note－taking offers variety to your study time and helps you to hold your interest.You will want to take notes during classroom discussions and while reading a textbook or doing research for a report.17.________ Whenever or however you take notes ,keep in mind that noteThe following methods may work best for you.□Read the text quickly to find the main facts and ideas in it.□Carefully read the text and watch for words that can show main points and supporting facts.□Write your notes in your own words.19．________Note any questions or ideas you may have about what was said or written.As you take notes ,you may want to use your own short－hand(速记)．When you do ,be sure that you understand your symbols and that you use them all the timA．Use words ,not complete sentences.B．There are three practical note－taking methods.C．You must write your notes on separate paper.D．Otherwise ,you may not be able to read your notes later.E．You will also want to develop your own method for taking notes.F．That means you must first decide what is important enough to include in your notes.G．First ,the simple act of writing something down makes it easier for you to understand and remember it.Ⅲ.完形填空,总分值30分)People from Great Britain brought the English language to North America in the 16th and 17th centuries.And in the __21__ 300 years ,there were so many __22__ in both places that now people can easily __23__ an English person from an American in the __24__ he or she talks.Many old words __25__ in England but were kept in America.For example ,300 years ago people in Great Britain got their water from something they __26__ either a "faucet〞, "spigot〞,or a "tap〞．All these words are __27__ heard in different parts of America ,but only "tap〞is still __28__ in England.Americans often make __29__ new words or change old ones.

English is a Crazy Language英语：疯狂的语言

English is a Crazy Languageby Richard LedererEnglish is the most widely spoken language in the history of our planet, used in some way by at least one out of every seven human beings around the globe. Half of the world's books are written in English, and the majority of international telephone calls are made in English. Sixty percent of the world's radio programs are beamed in English, and more than seventy percent of international mail is written and addressed in English. Eighty percent of all computer texts, including all web sites, are stored in English. English has acquired the largest vocabulary of all the world's languages, perhaps as many as two million words, and has generated one of the noblest bodies of literature in the annals of the human race. Nonetheless, it is now time to face the fact that English is a crazy language -- the most loopy and wiggy of all tongues.In what other language do people drive in a parkway and park in a driveway?In what other language do people play at a recital and recite at a play?Why does night fall but never break and day break but never fall?Why is it that when we transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when we transport something by ship, it's called cargo?Why does a man get a her nia and a woman a hys terectomy?Why do we pack suits in a garment bag and garments in a suitcase?Why do privates eat in the general mess and generals eat in the private mess?Why do we call it newsprint when it contains no printing but when we put print on it, we call it a newspaper?Why are people who ride motorcycles called bikers and people who ride bikes called cyclists?Why -- in our crazy language -- can your nose run and your feet smell?Language is like the air we breathe. It's invisible, inescapable, indispensable, and we take it for granted. But, when we take the time to step back and listen to the sounds that escape from the holes in people's faces and to explore the paradoxes and vagaries of English, we find that hot dogs can be cold, darkrooms can be lit, homework can be done in school, nightmares can take place in broad daylight while morning sickness and daydreaming can take place at night, tomboys are girls and midwives can be men, hours -- especially happy hours and rush hours -- often last longer than sixty minutes, quicksand works very slowly, boxing rings are square, silverware and glasses can be made of plastic and tablecloths of paper, most telephones are dialed by being punched (or pushed?), and most bathrooms don't have any baths in them. In fact, a dog can go to the bathroom under a tree -- no bath, no room; it's still going to the bathroom. And doesn't it seem a little bizarre that we go to the bathroom in order to go to the bathroom?Why is it that a woman can man a station but a man can't woman one, that a man can father a movement but a woman can't mother one, and that a king rules a kingdom but a queen doesn't rule a queendom? How did all those Renaissance men reproduce when there don't seem to have been any Renaissance women?Sometimes you have to believe that all English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane:In what other language do they call the third hand on the clock the second hand?Why do they call them apartments when they're all together?Why do we call them buildings, when they're already built?Why it is called a TV set when you get only one?Why is phonetic not spelled phonetically?Why is it so hard to remember how to spell mnemonic?Why doesn't onomatopoeia sound like what it is?Why is the word abbreviation so long?Why is diminutive so undiminutive?Why does the word monosyllabic consist of five syllables?Why is there no synonym for synonym or thesaurus?And why, pray tell, does lisp have an s in it?English is crazy.If adults commit adultery, do infants commit infantry? If olive oil is made from olives, what do they make baby oil from? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian consume? If pro and con are opposites, is congress the opposite of progress?Why can you call a woman a mouse but not a rat -- a kitten but not a cat? Why is it that a woman can be a vision, but not a sight -- unless your eyes hurt? Then she can be "a sight for sore eyes."A writer is someone who writes, and a stinger is something that stings. But fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce, hammers don't ham, humdingers don't humding, ushers don't ush, and haberdashers do not haberdash.If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese -- so one moose, two meese? One index, two indices -- one Kleenex, two Kleenices? If people ring a bell today and rang a bell yesterday, why don't we say that they flang a ball? If they wrote a letter, perhaps they also bote their tongue. If the teacher taught, why isn't it also true that the preacher praught? Why is it that the sun shone yesterday while I shined my shoes, that I treaded water and then trod on the beach, and that I flew out to see a World Series game in which my favorite player flied out?If we conceive a conception and receive at a reception, why don't we grieve a greption and believe a beleption? If a firefighter fights fire, what does a freedom fighter fight? If a horsehair mat is made from the hair of horses, from what is a mohair coat made?A slim chance and a fat chance are the same, as are a caregiver and a caretaker, a bad licking and a good licking, and "What's going on?" and "What's coming off?" But a wise man and a wise guy are opposites. How can sharp speech and blunt speech be the same and quite a lot and quite a few the same, while overlook and oversee are opposites? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?If button and unbutton and tie and untie are opposites, why are loosen and unloosen and ravel and unravel the same? If bad is the opposite of good, hard the opposite of soft, and up the opposite of down, why are badly and goodly, hardly and softly, and upright and downright not opposing pairs? If harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions, why are shameful and shameless behavior the same and pricey objects less expensive than priceless ones? If appropriate and inappropriate remarks and passable and impassable mountain trails are opposites, why are flammable and inflammable materials, heritable and inheritable property, and passive and impassive people the same? How can valuable objects be less valuable than invaluable ones? If uplift is the same as lift up, why are upset and set up opposite in meaning? Why are pertinent and impertinent, canny and uncanny, and famous and infamous neither opposites nor the same? How can raise and raze and reckless and wreckless be opposites when each pair contains the same sound?Why is it that when the sun or the moon or the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible; that when I clip a coupon from a newspaper I separate it, but when I clip a coupon to a newspaper, I fasten it; and that when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I shall end it?English is a crazy language.How can expressions like "I'm mad about my flat," "No football coaches allowed," "I'll come by in the morning and knock you up," and "Keep your pecker up" convey such different messages in two countries that purport to speak the same English?How can it be easier to assent than to dissent but harder to ascend than to descend? Why is it that a man with hair on his head has more hair than a man with hairs on his head; that if you decide to be bad forever, you choose to be bad for good; and that if you choose to wear only your left shoe, then your left one is right and your right one is left? Right?Small wonder that we English users are constantly standing meaning on its head. Let's look at a number of familiar English words and phrases that turn out to mean the opposite or something very different from what we think they mean:A waiter. Why do they call those food servers waiters, when it's the customers who do the waiting?I could care less.I couldn't care less is the clearer, more accurate version. Why do so many people delete the negative from this statement? Because they are afraid that the n't...less combination will make a double negative, which is a no-no.I really miss not seeing you. Whenever people say this to me, I feel like responding, "All right, I'llleave!" Here speakers throw in a gratuitous negative, not, even though I really miss seeing you is what they want to say.The movie kept me literally glued to my seat. The chances of our buttocks being literally epoxied to a seat are about as small as the chances of our literally rolling in the aisles while watching a funny movie or literally drowning in tears while watching a sad one. We actually mean The movie kept me figuratively glued to my seat -- but who needs figuratively, anyway?A non-stop flight. Never get on one of these. You'll never get down.A near miss. A near miss is, in reality, a collision. A close call is actually a near hit.My idea fell between the cracks. If something fell between the cracks, didn't it land smack on the planks or the concrete? Shouldn't that be my idea fell into the cracks (or between the boards)?A hot water heater. Who heats hot water? This is similar to garbage disposal. Actually, the stuff isn't garbage until after you dispose of it.A hot cup of coffee. Here again the English language gets us in hot water. Who cares if the cup is hot? Surely we mean a cup of hot coffee.Doughnut holes. Aren't those little treats really doughnut balls? The holes are what's left in the original doughnut. (And if a candy cane is shaped like a cane, why isn't a doughnut shaped like a nut?)I want to have my cake and eat it too. Shouldn't this timeworn cliché be I want to eat my cake andhave it too? Isn't the logical sequence that one hopes to eat the cake and then still possess it?A one-night stand. So who's standing? Similarly, to sleep with someone. Who's sleeping?I'll follow you to the ends of the earth. Let the word go out to the four corners of the earth that ever since Columbus we have known that the earth doesn't have any ends.It's neither here nor there. Then where is it?Extraordinary. If extra-fine means "even finer than fine" and extra-large "even larger than large," why doesn't extraordinary mean "even more ordinary than ordinary"?The first century B.C. These hundred years occurred much longer ago than people imagined. What we call the first century B.C. was, in fact the last century B.C.Daylight saving time. Not a single second of daylight is saved by this ploy.The announcement was made by a nameless official. Just about everyone has a name, even officials. Surely what is meant is "The announcement was made by an unnamed official."Preplan, preboard, preheat, and prerecord. Aren't people who do this simply planning, boarding, heating, and recording? Who needs the pretentious prefix? I have even seen shows "prerecorded before a live audience," certainly preferable to prerecording before a dead audience.Pull up a chair. We don't really pull a chair up; we pull it along the ground. We don't pick up the phone; we pick up the receiver. And we don't really throw up; we throw out.Put on your shoes and socks. This is an exceedingly difficult maneuver. Most of us put on our socks first, then our shoes.A hit-and-run play. If you know your baseball, you know that the sequence constitutes "a run-and-hit play."The bus goes back and forth between the terminal and the airport. Again we find mass confusion about the order of events. You have to go forth before you can go back.I got caught in one of the biggest traffic bottlenecks of the year. The bigger the bottleneck, the more freely the contents of the bottle flow through it. To be true to the metaphor, we should say, I got caught in one of the smallest traffic bottlenecks of the year.Underwater and underground. Things that we claim are underwater and underground are obviously surrounded by, not under the water and ground.I lucked out. To luck out sounds as if you're out of luck. Don't you mean I lucked in?Because we speakers and writers of English seem to have our heads screwed on backwards, we constantly misperceive our bodies, often saying just the opposite of what we mean:Watch your head. I keep seeing this sign on low doorways, but I haven't figured out how to follow the instructions. Trying to watch your head is like trying to bite your teeth.They're head over heels in love. That's nice, but all of us do almost everything head over heels. If we are trying to create an image of people doing cartwheels and somersaults, why don't we say, They're heels over head in love?Put your best foot forward. Now let's see.... We have a good foot and a better foot -- but we don't have a third -- and best -- foot. It's our better foot we want to put forward. This grammar atrocity is akin to May the best team win. Usually there are only two teams in the contest. Similarly, in any list of bestsellers, only the most popular book is genuinely a bestseller. All the rest are bettersellers.Keep a stiff upper lip. When we are disappointed or afraid, which lip do we try to control? The lower lip, of course, is the one we are trying to keep from quivering.I'm speaking tongue in cheek. So how can anyone understand you?Skinny. If fatty means "full of fat," shouldn't skinny mean "full of skin"?They do things behind my back. You want they should do things in front of your back?They did it ass backwards. What's wrong with that? We do everything ass backwards.English is weird.In the rigid expressions that wear tonal grooves in the record of our language, beck can appear only with call, cranny with nook, hue with cry, main with might, fettle only with fine, aback with taken, caboodle with kit, and spick and span only with each other. Why must all shrifts be short, all lucre filthy, all bystanders innocent, and all bedfellows strange? I'm convinced that some shrifts are lengthy and that some lucre is squeaky clean, and I've certainly met guilty bystanders and perfectly normal bedfellows.Why is it that only swoops are fell? Sure, the verbivorous William Shakespeare invented the expression "one fell swoop," but why can't strokes, swings, acts, and the like also be fell? Why are we allowed to vent our spleens but never our kidneys or livers? Why must it be only our minds that are boggled and never our eyes or our hearts? Why can't eyes and jars be ajar, as well as doors? Why must aspersions always be cast and never hurled or lobbed?Doesn't it seem just a little wifty that we can make amends but never just one amend; that no matter how carefully we comb through the annals of history, we can never discover just one annal; that we can never pull a shenanigan, be in a doldrum, eat an egg Benedict, or get just one jitter, a willy, a delirium tremen, or a heebie-jeebie. Why, sifting through the wreckage of a disaster, can we never find just one smithereen?Indeed, this whole business of plurals that don't have matching singulars reminds me to ask this burning question, one that has puzzled scholars for decades: If you have a bunch of odds and ends and you get rid of or sell off all but one of them, what do you call that doohickey with which you're left?What do you make of the fact that we can talk about certain things and ideas only when they are absent? Once they appear, our blessed English doesn't allow us to describe them. Have you ever seen a horseful carriage or a strapful gown? Have you ever run into someone who was combobulated, sheveled, gruntled, chalant, plussed, ruly, gainly, maculate, pecunious, or peccable? Have you ever met a sung hero or experienced requited love? I know people who are no spring chickens, but where, pray tell, are the people who are spring chickens? Where are the people who actually would hurt a fly? All the time I meet people who are great shakes, who can cut the mustard, who can fight City Hall, who are mycup of tea, who would lift a finger to help, who would give you the time of day, and whom I would touch with a ten-foot pole, but I can't talk about them in English -- and that is a laughing matter.If the truth be told, all languages are a little crazy. As Walt Whitman might proclaim, they contradict themselves. That's because language is invented, not discovered, by boys and girls and men and women, not computers. As such, language reflects the creative and fearful asymmetry of the human race, which, of course, isn't really a race at all.That's why we wear a pair of pants but, except on very cold days, not a pair of shirts. That's why men wear a bathing suit and bathing trunks at the same time. That's why brassiere is singular but panties is plural. That's why there's a team in Toronto called the Maple Leafs and another in Minnesota called the Timberwolves.That's why six, seven, eight, and nine change to sixty, seventy, eighty, and ninety, but two, three, four, and five do not become twoty, threety, fourty, and fivety. That's why first-degree murder is more serious than third-degree murder but a third-degree burn is more serious than a first-degree burn. That's why we can open up the floor, climb the walls, raise the roof, pick up the house, and bring down the house.In his essay "The Awful German Language," Mark Twain spoofs the confusion engendered by German gender by translating literally from a conversation in a German Sunday school book: "Gretchen. Wilhelm, where is the turnip? Wilhelm. She has gone to the kitchen. Gretchen. Where is the accomplished and beautiful English maiden? Wilhelm. It has gone to the opera." Twain continues: "A tree is male, its buds are female, its leaves are neuter; horses are sexless, dogs are male, cats are female -- tomcats included."Still, you have to marvel at the unique lunacy of the English language, in which you can turn a light on and you can turn a light off and you can turn a light out, but you can't turn a light in; in which the sun comes up and goes down, but prices go up and come down -- a gloriously wiggy tongue in which your house can simultaneously burn up and burn down and your car can slow up and slow down, in which you fill in a form by filling out a form, in which your alarm clock goes off by going on, in which you are inoculated for measles by being inoculated against measles, in which you add up a column of figures by adding them down, and in which you first chop a tree down -- and then you chop it up.。

对我来说,学习英语语法很困难英语作文

对我来说,学习英语语法很困难英语作文Learning English Grammar is Really Hard for MeEnglish is a crazy language! There are so many weird rules that don't make any sense. I've been learning English since I was a little kid, but the grammar still drives me bonkers sometimes.Like why do we say "a book" but "an apple"? Somebody really needs to explain that "an" before vowel thing to me again because I don't get it. And what's the deal with plurals? You just add an "s" to make most words plural, but then there are all these exceptions like "children," "mice," "feet," and "men." How am I supposed to remember all that?Don't even get me started on verb tenses. It's so confusing figuring out when to use different verb tenses like past, present, future, present perfect, etc. I mix them up all the time. And grammatically correct sentences need the verb to agree with the subject, but half the time I can't even figure out what the real subject is. Is it just me or are subjects impossible to identify sometimes?Then there are phrases like "a couple of days" or "a variety of colors." Why do we say "a couple of" but not "a variety of"? Itdoesn't make logical sense. Of course, nothing about English grammar is logical if you ask me.Another thing that gives me fits is prepositions. I can never remember which preposition to use with each verb and phrase. Like, do you say "careful with" or "careful of"? Why can't we just pick one and stick with it? You also have to use the right preposition after certain adjectives or else the sentence is wrong. Apparently you are "scared of monsters" but "afraid for your life." How's a kid supposed to keep track of that?And let's discuss pronouns for a minute. They are supposed to simplify sentences by taking the place of nouns. But they actually complicate everything because you have to make sure you use the right pronoun case each time - subjective, objective, possessive, etc. I'm always getting called out for saying something like "Me and Ryan went to the park" instead of "Ryan and I went to the park." How is a 3rd grader expected to know that "I" is subjective and "me" is objective? It's so dumb!I think one of the reasons English grammar is so ridiculously hard is because it has all these exceptions to every rule. Like with regular verbs, you just add "ed" to make them past tense. Straightforward enough. But then you've got all these irregular verbs that you just have to memorize, like "went" instead of"goed." And possessives are formed by adding "'s"...except for its possessive which is "its" not "it's." Who comes up with this stuff?!Another problem is that English grammar has too many complicated rules about things that don't actually matter that much. For example, the order of adjectives. You're supposed to say "big red ball" and not "red big ball." But why? Does it really make that much of a difference? Tiny mistakes like that shouldn't be such a big deal.Of course, even small grammar mistakes can sometimes lead to misunderstandings. Like if I say "I'm good" it means I'm skilled at something. But if I say "I'm well" it means I'm healthy. How confusing is that? No wonder people learning English struggle so much.And don't get me started on homophones - words that sound the same but are spelled differently like "there," "their," and "they're." Just because they sound identical doesn't mean you can use them interchangeably! Apparently grammar Nazis will call you out if you mix those up.The worst part is my parents and teachers are always nagging me about using proper English grammar. I try my best, but it feels impossible to get everything right all the time. And inmy opinion, English would be a lot easier if we just didn't have all these nonsensical grammar rules.I have friends learning other languages like Spanish, French, and Mandarin, and let me tell you, they are not dealing with the kind of craziness that is English grammar. Their languages follow logical patterns and have way fewer exceptions. English is just nuts.I guess the grammar rules are there for a reason - to provide some structure and guidelines. And I know understanding proper grammar is important for clear communication. But why does it have to be so unnecessarily difficult and complicated?From now on, I'm just going to do my best but not beat myself up too much over grammar. If English wants to be a ridiculous inconsistent language with a million random rules, that's on English - not me. I'm just a kid trying to express myself here. As long as people can generally understand what I'm trying to say, I don't think grammar needs to be that big of a deal.Maybe I'll make up a petition to simplify English grammar and make it more intuitive. I bet all my classmates would sign it because they're just as fed up as I am. We could get rid of things like silent letters, too many tenses, confusing homophones, and grammatical exceptions to every rule.Who's with me? Let's make English grammar a little more user-friendly for kids' sakes. I don't have anything against the language, but its grammatical structure is honestly...how do you say it in English...oh yeah, it really sucks!。

五年级关于过去式和现在式的英文作文

五年级关于过去式和现在式的英文作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Past and the PresentEnglish has a lot of confusing rules about when to use different verb tenses. It can be really hard to remember all of them! The past tense and the present tense are two of the most common tenses we use.The past tense is for talking about things that already happened. You use it to describe events in the past, like what you did last summer or what happened in a book or movie you read/watched. There are a few different ways to make the past tense in English.For regular verbs, you just add -ed to the end. Like:I walked to the park yesterday.She played basketball after school.We watched a funny movie last night.For irregular verbs, you have to memorize the past tense form. Like:I went to Grandma's house.She broke her arm.We saw a bear in the woods!The present tense is for talking about things happening right now. You use it to describe what's going on currently or things that are generally true. The present tense is pretty easy for most verbs - you just use the base form like "walk", "play", "watch".For example:I walk to school every morning.She plays soccer on Saturdays.Cats chase mice.For the verb "to be", the present forms are am, is, and are. Like:I am a fifth grader.He is my best friend.They are really good at video games.You also use the present tense for things that happen regularly or are scheduled, even if they are in the future. Like:School starts next week.The movie comes out in May.We have a game every Friday.Sometimes you have to use different helping verbs in the present tense, like "is walking", "are playing", or "does watch". Those are called the present progressive and present simple tenses. But I'll save explaining those for another time!Switching between the past and present tenses is one of the trickiest parts of English. Like if I'm telling a story about something that already happened, I use the past tense:"Yesterday I went to the park with my friends. We played tag and had a picnic lunch. It was so much fun!"But then if I want to talk about something happening now, I have to change to the present tense:"Now we are studying verbs in English class. I find the past tense pretty easy, but the present tense gives me more trouble."It can be really hard to remember to keep changing the verbs to match whether you're talking about the past or present! I'm still working on getting it right.Using the proper verb tenses is super important in English. If you use the wrong one, it can be confusing for the person you're talking to. Like if I said "I am going to the park yesterday", that wouldn't make any sense! You'd have no idea when I actually went to the park.So I have to really pay attention to using the right verbs - did it already happen? Then use the past tense. Is it happening now or happens regularly? Then use the present tense. Switching between them is where I get mixed up the most.My teacher says verb tenses are one of the biggest challenges for students learning English. Even kids who were born speaking English sometimes mess them up at first! I try not to get too frustrated about making mistakes, since it's such a hard concept.The more I practice using past and present tenses in my writing and speaking, the better I'll get at keeping them straight.I just have to be patient with myself and keep working on it. English is a crazy language with a lot of exceptions to the rules! But I'm determined to master all the verb tenses.Who knows, maybe one day I'll be an English teacher and can explain past and present tenses to other students. For now, I still have a lot of learning to do myself. Wish me luck!篇2My Experience Learning the Past and Present TensesEnglish is a very interesting language with lots of different tenses. A tense tells you when the action happened - in the past, present or future. The past tense is for things that already occurred, like "I played soccer yesterday." The present tense is for things happening right now, like "I am writing this essay." Learning when to use the different tenses was confusing at first, but now I think I've got the hang of it, at least for the past and present tenses.I remember in 3rd grade when we started learning about verb tenses. We focused mostly on the present tense that year. It was pretty simple - you just use the verb normally for"I/you/we/they" like "I play soccer" or "We watch TV." But for "he/she/it" you add -s, like "She plays violin" or "It rains a lot here." That was easy enough to understand. Using the present tense is just for talking about what's happening now or things that are generally true.Then in 4th grade, we started learning the past tense. This was more confusing because there were different rules for regular and irregular verbs. For regular verbs, you add -ed to make it past, like "played," "watched," and "rained." But irregular verbs were harder because you had to just memorize them - like "go" becomes "went," "see" becomes "saw," and "eat" becomes "ate." I kept messing those up at first! My teacher gave us lots of practice exercises and little rhymes to help us remember the irregular ones.Now in 5th grade, we're getting really good at using both the past and present tenses properly. We've learned how to use them for different subjects, negatives, and questions too. Like you say "I did not go to the park" with "did" instead of "went" to make it a negative past tense sentence. Or you say "Do you want to watch a movie?" using "do" to make it a present tense question. It's all making more sense the more examples we go over.My favorite activities for practicing are when we have to unscramble sentences and put the verbs in the right tense. Or when we read short stories and identify + underline all the past and present tense verbs. I'm a visual learner so marking up the text really helps me see the patterns. We also do funtense-focused games like Past Tense Pictionary where you have to draw a picture and other teams guess what past tense verb it is. Games like that make it way more engaging than just doing worksheets.I still make some mistakes here and there, like accidentally using the present tense when I should use past, or vice versa. Run-on sentences are another problem area for me because I have trouble keeping the tenses consistent across multiple clauses. But overall, I'd say I have a pretty solid grasp of the past and present tenses now compared to a year or two ago.It's good we're building this foundation strong, because next year they're going to start teaching us the future tenses. Those seem even trickier based on what my older friends have told me! You have simple future with "will," present progressive for near future like "I am going to the park tomorrow," and other future forms too. Past, present, and future - English has a tense for every time! I'm sure it will be confusing at first just like past and present were, but my strategy is to take good notes, do my homework, and practice using the new tenses as much as possible through writing, reading, and conversation. That's the best way for me to really master them.Verb tenses are an important part of learning any language so you can communicate clearly about when events occurred. It's been really valuable for me to spend several years going through past and present tenses very thoroughly in elementary school. With more practice, I know I'll get totally comfortable using them properly in any situation. Then I'll be ready to tackle those future tenses next year! Wish me luck.篇3Past and Present Tense: A Journey Through TimeHi there! My name is Emma, and I'm a 5th grader at Oakwood Elementary School. Today, I want to talk to you about something that has been a bit tricky for me – the past and present tenses in English. It's been quite a journey trying to understand when to use each one, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it!Let's start with the present tense. This one is all about what's happening right now, at this very moment. For example, "I am writing this essay." See? I used the present tense because I'm doing the writing as we speak (or as you read, I guess!). The present tense is also used for things that happen regularly or aretrue in general. Like, "I go to school every day" or "The sky is blue."Now, let's move on to the past tense. This one is for things that already happened, events that are over and done with. For instance, "I went to the park yesterday" or "I ate pizza for dinner last night." The past tense helps us talk about things that occurred in the past, even if it was just a few minutes ago!At first, I found it really confusing to know when to use each tense. I would mix them up all the time, like saying "I am went to the store" or "I go to the movies yesterday." My teachers would gently correct me, and I'd feel a little embarrassed. But they always reminded me that it's a common struggle for kids learning English, and that with practice, I'd get better at it.And you know what? They were right! The more I read books, listened to people talk, and wrote my own sentences, the easier it became to distinguish between the past and present tenses. I started to notice patterns and little tricks that helped me remember which tense to use.For example, I learned that most present tense verbs end with an "s" for third-person singular subjects, like "he runs" or "she plays." But in the past tense, those verbs usually end with "ed," like "he ran" or "she played." Neat, right?There are also some irregular verbs that don't follow those rules, like "go" becoming "went" in the past tense, or "see" becoming "saw." Those can be a bit trickier, but I've been making flashcards and playing games to help me memorize them.Another thing that has really helped me is paying attention to time words and phrases. If a sentence has words like "today," "now," or "currently," it's usually a clue that the present tense should be used. But if you see words like "yesterday," "last week," or "a year ago," that's a sign to use the past tense.Sometimes, sentences can even have both tenses! For example, "I am reading a book that I bought yesterday." In that case, "am reading" is present tense because I'm doing it right now, but "bought" is past tense because it happened before.I know it might sound a bit confusing, but I promise it gets easier with practice. And you know what the best part is? Understanding the past and present tenses has opened up a whole new world of storytelling and communication for me!Now, when I write stories or essays, I can use the past tense to describe events that have already happened, like a fun trip I took or an exciting adventure I had. And I can use the present tense to talk about things that are happening right now or to describe general facts and ideas.It's like having a magical time machine that lets me jump back and forth between the past and present, painting vivid pictures with my words. I can transport my readers to different moments in time, helping them experience events and feelings as if they were there themselves.And when I'm talking to my friends or family, using the right tenses helps me communicate more clearly and accurately. I can share stories about my day, describe things that are happening around me, or even discuss plans for the future (which involves another tense entirely, but we'll save that for another day!).So, even though it was challenging at first, learning about the past and present tenses has been a really rewarding experience for me. It's like unlocking a secret code that allows me to express myself in more vibrant and meaningful ways.And who knows? Maybe one day, I'll become so skilled with tenses that I'll be able to write a novel or give a speech entirely in the past tense, transporting my audience to a different time and place with every word. Or maybe I'll become a journalist, using the present tense to vividly describe events as they unfold in real-time.The possibilities are endless, and it's all thanks to the wonderful world of tenses! So, keep practicing, keep learning,and keep exploring the amazing ways we can use language to connect with others and share our stories.Thanks for reading my essay, and happy tense-ing!篇4My Journey with the Past and Present TensesHi there! My name is Emily, and I'm a 5th grader at Oakwood Elementary School. Today, I want to share my experience of learning about the past and present tenses in English class. It's been quite a journey, let me tell you!When I was younger, I didn't really understand the difference between the past and present tenses. I would often mix them up when speaking or writing. For example, I might say something like "Yesterday, I go to the park and play on the swings." Can you spot the mistake there? I used the present tense "go" instead of the past tense "went." Oops!My teacher, Mrs. Johnson, was always patient with me and would gently correct me whenever I made a tense mistake. She explained that the present tense is used to describe things happening right now, while the past tense is for things that havealready happened. It was a bit confusing at first, but Mrs. Johnson had some tricks up her sleeve to help us remember.One trick she taught us was the "ed" rule. For many regular verbs, you can simply add "ed" to the base form to make it past tense. For example, "walk" becomes "walked," "play" becomes "played," and "jump" becomes "jumped." We would practice this rule by doing silly actions like jumping or clapping, and then saying the past tense form out loud. It was a fun way to learn!As we got better at using the past tense, Mrs. Johnson introduced us to the present tense as well. She explained that we use the present tense to talk about things happening right now, habits, or general truths. For example, "I am writing an essay" (happening now), "I brush my teeth every morning" (habit), or "The sun rises in the east" (general truth).One thing that really helped me understand the present tense was keeping a daily journal. Mrs. Johnson had us write a few sentences every day about what we were doing or feeling at that moment. By constantly using the present tense, it became more natural for me.As time went on, using the past and present tenses became second nature to me. I started noticing them everywhere – in books, movies, and even conversations with my friends andfamily. It was like a whole new world had opened up to me, and I could communicate more clearly and precisely.Now, as a 5th grader, I feel pretty confident in my ability to use the past and present tenses correctly. Of course, there are still some tricky situations where I might get confused, but I know that practice makes perfect.One thing I've learned is that language is always evolving, and there's always more to learn. Maybe one day, I'll even tackle the future tense or more advanced grammar concepts. But for now, I'm proud of how far I've come with the past and present tenses.Learning these tenses has not only helped me in English class but also in understanding the world around me better. When I read a book or watch a movie, I can easily follow the sequence of events and understand when things are happening. When I listen to my grandparents tell stories about their childhood, I can picture the events unfolding in the past tense.And of course, being able to communicate clearly and accurately is an important skill for life. Whether I'm writing a school essay, giving a presentation, or just chatting with friends, using the correct tenses helps me get my point across effectively.So, there you have it – my journey with the past and present tenses. It's been a winding road with some bumps along the way, but I'm grateful for the patience and guidance of my teacher, Mrs. Johnson. Learning these tenses has not only improved my English skills but has also taught me valuable lessons about perseverance and the joy of learning.Who knows what other grammar adventures await me in the future? For now, I'm just going to keep practicing, keep learning, and keep exploring the wonderful world of language. After all, as they say, "The present is a gift, and the past is a lesson." And with the right tools, like the past and present tenses, we can unwrap those gifts and learn those lessons every day.篇5My Journey with Verb TensesHey there! I'm a 5th grade student and today I want to share my experience of learning about verb tenses in English class. It's been quite a roller coaster ride, let me tell you!When I was just a little kid in 1st grade, verbs seemed so simple. I could say things like "I run" or "I jump" without giving it a second thought. Little did I know, there was so much more to uncover about these action words!Then in 2nd grade, my teacher started talking about the present tense. That's when I use verbs like "walk," "talk," or "bake" to describe something happening right now. I remember feeling so proud when I could say "I am walking to school" instead of just "I walk."But boy, did things get tricky in 3rd grade when we learned about the past tense! All of a sudden, I had to add "-ed" to a lot of my verbs to talk about stuff that already happened. "I walked to the park yesterday." "I baked cookies last weekend." My brain felt like it was doing jumping jacks trying to remember which verbs got "-ed" and which didn't follow that rule.There were the irregular ones that really stumped me, like "I went to the movies" instead of "I goed to the movies." Huh?? English is weird sometimes! I'll never forget when my friend asked the teacher "If 'go' becomes 'went' in the past tense, then why doesn't 'show' become 'shew'?" Oh man, we all cracked up at that one!Fourth grade was when things really became a juggling act. That's when we started mixing the past, present, and future tenses all together in our writing and speaking. One second I'd be saying "I am going to the beach this weekend." Then bam!The next second I was saying "Last summer, I went to the beach every week."My teacher must have thought we were pretzel brains with how twisted around our tenses would get sometimes. I remember writing a story about my birthday party where I wrote "After I am blowing out the candles, I opened the presents." Wait, which one happened first - the blowing or the opening?! No wonder my teacher started grading our verb tenses so closely.Now here I am in the thrilling 5th grade year, and we've added progressive tenses into the mix. So not only do I have to know "I walked" for past tense, but also "I was walking" if the action was still going on at that time. My brain's exhausted just thinking about it!Then there are perfect tenses like "I have walked" or "I had walked" that tell whether something is completed or not. It's like verbs within verbs, people!When I really stop to think about it though, I realize how important verb tenses are for clear communication. They help me describe events from the past, the present moment, and even make predictions about the future. Without them, every sentence would be one big confusing jumble of actions all mushed together.So even though learning the different tenses has been a long, uphill journey, I'm proud of how far I've come. I'll never take verbs for granted again! Who knows what other tense twists and turns await me in middle school. But I'm ready (or should I say "I will be ready"?) to take them on.I may still mix up a tense here and there, but I'm lightyears ahead of where I started. Verbs used to seem so basic, but now I truly understand their complexity and power in the English language. Just call me a Tense Master! Okay, maybe I'm not quite there yet. But I'mизwell on my way.篇6My Adventure with Verb TensesHi there! My name is Emma and I'm a 5th grader. Today I want to tell you all about my journey learning the past and present tenses in English. It's been quite an adventure!When I was just starting to learn English in kindergarten, everything seemed so simple. The present tense was really easy - you just say what is happening right now. Like "I speak English" or "The sun shines brightly." See, I'm using the present tense right there!But then last year in 4th grade, my teacher started teaching us about the past tense. At first, I thought "This is going to be so confusing!" The past tense is for talking about things that already happened before now. You have to add -ed to a lot of verbs, like "I walked to school yesterday" instead of "I walk to school."Some past tense verbs are really weird though! Why is "I ran" the past tense of "run"? It doesn't make any sense! And don't even get me started on irregular verbs like "went" for "go" or "saw" for "see." Learning all the irregular ones was like a nightmare. I spent so many nights going over those lists trying to memorize them all.My friends and I would practice using past tense by telling stories about what we did last weekend or over summer vacation. "I played soccer at the park." "We went to Disneyland and rode all the rides!" "My dog dug a hole in the backyard." Using past tense to talk about the past - who would have thought, right?Eventually though, I started getting the hang of it. Whenever I wanted to talk about something that already finished happening, I'd just throw that -ed on the end of a regular verb. Or I'd try to remember how to say those irregular ones. It was kind of fun telling stories and adventures from the past.Then this year in 5th grade, my teacher pulled a fast one on us. She was like "Okay, you learned the present tense and the past tense. Now get ready for...THE PRESENT PERFECT!" Dun dun dunnn...The present perfect tense is for talking about things that happened in the past, but you're connecting it to the present somehow. So you use "have" or "has" plus the past participle of the verb. Like "I have walked to school every day this week." Or "He has gone to France three times."I'm not going to lie, the present perfect was really confusing at first. Why do we need another way to talk about the past when we already have the past tense? My teacher tried to explain it's for connecting past events to the present, but I just didn't get it.Little by little though, I started understanding when to use the present perfect. Any time I'm talking about an experience or something I've done before now, I use present perfect. "I have been to Hawaii twice." "He has never tried sushi before."Basically, if it's an event from the past but I'm still thinking about it in the present, I use present perfect. "I have studied hard for this test" - because I'm still thinking about studying for the current, upcoming test. But if I'm just telling a story from the past, I go back to regular past tense - "I studied really hard last night."It's been a long journey learning all the verb tenses, but I finally feel like I've got a good handle on most of them now. The present is happening right now, the past is for completed events from before now, and the present perfect connects past events to the present.Using the right verb tenses is crucial for telling clear stories and expressing yourself properly in English. Looking back, I'm really glad we started learning the tenses from an early age and built up to more advanced ones over the years. English would be pretty confusing if you just had to learn all the tenses at once as an adult!Well, that's my epic tale of studying and finally mastering (or at least understanding) the past, present, and present perfect tenses. What's next on the verb tense adventure? Future tense, here I come! Thanks for reading, and I'll catch you later. Because I will have finished my homework by then. Verb tenses for the win!。

• English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend, or that you can comb through the annals of history but not a single annal? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, whath for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? If you have one goose, two geese, why not one moose, two meese？
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and wise guy are opposites? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another?
Let's face it -- English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England nor French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.
Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital; ship by truck and send cargo by ship; have noses that run and feet that smell; park on driveways and drive on parkways?
