洛龙区第一小学小学英语 双语阅读系列 幸福生活：如果你想真正的幸福需要记住的事情素材

Things To Remember If You Want To Be Truly Happy 如果你想真正的幸福需要记住的事情
1. Never dwell on the past
永远不会停留在过去
Your past is just a story. Everyone has a past –often full of pain, disappointment, missed opportunities, and unfulfilled expectations. No matter what your past looks like, it’s just a story – so don’t let it influence you. Make the present meaningful.
你过去只是一个故事。

每个人都有过去,常常充满了痛苦,失望,错失良机,未能实现的期望。

不管你的过去是什么样子,这只是一个故事,所以不要让它影响你。

使目前过得有意义。

2. Never focus on what’s missing; look at what you actually have.
永远不要关注你缺失了什么,看看你得到了什么。

Be grateful for what you have. You could waste hours counting the things you would like to improve, which would only take you away from appreciating your real life. Gratitude puts situations into perspective and rewires your mind toward a positive direction.
感激你所拥有的。

你可能会浪费时间计算你想改善的东西,这只会让你远离感激你的现实生活。

感激之情让你的处境变得明朗,让你的思想向积极的方向发展。

3. Never underestimate quality time with yourself.
永远不要低估你自己的黄金时间。

Don’t confuse happiness with excitement; a lasting joy of life grows when your mind is in peace. Making time for yourself is as important as devoting time to your everyday duties. Regular meditation, sport, contact with nature, and quality (offline) time spent reading will help you reconnect with yourself and hear your intuition again.
不要将快乐和兴奋混淆,持久的快乐的生活会出现在在和平的心态中。

给自己花时间同致力于日常职责一样重要。

定期冥想,运动,接触大自然,和放假读书的时间会帮助你和自己联系起来,再次聆听到你的直觉。

4. Never stop improving yourself.
永远不要停止提升自己。

We are all different, and there is no perfect direction or path to our personal evolution. The whole point is to become the best version of YOU, and never stop taking lessons from your own life experiences.
我们都是不同的,没有完美的个人发展方向和路径。

重要的是成为你的最好的版本,而且从不停止从自己的生活经历中学习。

5. Never be too harsh on yourself.
永远不要对自己过于苛刻。

Many of us are our own hardest critics, constantly diminishing every success. Accept that you will never be ideal – and see this as okay. In the process of self-development, embracing your own vulnerabilities has been scientifically proven to be a key component of happiness.
我们中的许多人是我们自己的坚硬的批评者,成功不断递减。

接受你永远不会理想,认为这是好的。

在自我发展的过程中,拥抱自己的缺陷已经被科学证明是幸福的一个关键组成部分。

6. Never lose a sense of purpose in what you are doing.
永远不要失去在你正在做的事情的目的。

Your time and life power are limited, so spend them wisely and target your energy towards something meaningful. Finding a purpose helps you live a bigger life.
你的时间和生命力量是有限的,所以明智地消磨它们和让你的能量花在一些有意义事情上。

找到一个可以帮助你生活得更好的目标。

数字接力
目的练习数字13～20 方法事先在黑板上依次写下13～20，将学生按13～20 标号，老师任意点一名学生，并提问Do you have my ball?I dont have it.被点到的同学要立刻回答；Number _ have it. 依次类推，每个被点到的数字都必须快速反应，然后把接力传给另一位同学。

哪位同学反应慢，说错，或没有反应过来，就在黑板上那个数字后面画个叉，最后叉最少的同学获胜。

小学英语教学中的素质教育
素质教育是按照社会与人的发展需要，遵循教育规律，面向全体学生，以全面提高学生素质为核心的教育。

作为一种教育思想，素质教育是以提高全民族的素质为根本宗旨，以培养人的基本素质为出发点的，从根本上有别于“应试教育”。

就教育目标而言，“应试教育”以适应升学需要，挑选人才为目的，实行急功近利的短期教育行为；素质教育则是以适应社会需要、发展人的素质为目的，追求立足未来的长期教育效应，“不求人人升学，但求个个成才”。

就教育方法而言，“应试教育”设置单一的学科课程，重视应考的“主科”，片面强调知识的灌输，教学的唯一追求；教学视野封闭、狭隘，考试是评价的唯一手段，考分是教学的唯一追求；素质教育则是以现代课程理论为主的板块结构，不仅给学生扎实的基础知识，更着重培养学生的行为、能力和良好的习惯。

十几年的教育生涯，我对素质教育的迷惑也渐渐的清晰了些，现在我谈谈小学英语教学中的素质教育|。

一、教学中注重德育教育，提高学生的思想教育。

作为一名英语教师，既是教学者，也是教育工作者，即要教书又要育人，不能把学生的思想品德教育看成是班主任的工作。

教学中应适时对学生进行思想品德教育，使学生明确自己的学习目的，增强自己的学习动力，使学生的综合素质整体提高，伟大的导师马克思说过：“一个人追求的目标越大他奋斗的功力就越大”。

一个思想素质、思想品德觉悟低的学生，不可能具有宏伟的奋斗目标，远大的理想，在学习上也不可能产生巨大动力。

因而教育工作者要在教学中注重培养学生的素质教育。

教师在英语教学过程，要注意发现、挖掘课文中潜在的因素，结合实际情况，对学生进行思想品德教育，教育他们遵纪守法，团结友爱，尊老爱幼。

教育他们热爱人民，热爱党，热爱祖国，培养他们的正确人生观、价值观，培养他们奋发向上、乐于助人、乐于奉献崇高精神，如在教育职业这一内容时，我们应该进行一下如下的对话：
T：What do you do？
S：We are students.
T：What do you do at school every day？
S：We study.
T：Do you like studying？
S：Yes，we do .
T：Great！You’re good students。

And you must study hard。

以上的对话能让学生认清自己的身份，自己的任务，明白自己在学校就应该努力学习。

再如，在学习Could you help me？这个句型的时候，鼓励学生尽量Say：Certainly／Sure ／ Yes，What’s wrong？的肯定回答，这样可以培养学生助人精神。

在不能的情况下，也不能硬语伤人，而要Say：sorry。

等文明、委婉的口气。

在学习Thomas Edision 时，要教育学生向他学习爱国爱民精神，总之，教学中要不时不断的结合教材，结合学生的实际情况，培养学生具有良好的思想品质。

二、注重英语语言交际，实施素质教育。

英语素质教育的核心是语言交际，英语素质实践上就是学生运用英语交际的能力。

英语教学大纲把“培养学生交际初步运用英语的能力”放在第一位，而九年义务教育的教材就是遵循这一原则，主要强调学生的听、说、读、写等四个技能。

英语是一门语言，更是一门国际语言，而学生学语言的目的就为了交流、交际，让我们走进世界、了解世界。

现在的小学生虽然语法学得不是很多，但在口语交际方面比较好些，这就是素质教育的一大进步。

为了使更多小学生能大胆、更善于用英语流畅交际，作为英语教师还应该从以下几方面着手：
1、注重培养学生学习英语的兴趣。

各学科教学中要使学生积极主动接受课文知识，学习兴趣的培养将直接影响学习效果。

教师必须多想法子，认真备好每一堂课，使枯燥乏味的练习过程变得生动活泼、横生妙趣。

现行的小学英语教材内容具有新鲜、灵活，与现实生活贴近。

在教学过程中，要充分挖掘课文中的趣味性，唤起心灵的共鸣，引起学生兴趣。

例如，在教学一般将来时态时我问道：“What are you going be ？Why？”其中一位学生答道：“I am going to be a boss，because a boss can earn much money”。

这时，多数同学觉得这样的问题容易答又有趣，课堂活动开展很成功。

教师教学是持续不断、反复进行的一种持久的活动。

培养学生长期的学习兴趣，也非一朝一夕，冰冻三尺非一日之寒，身为教师须做到备好教材、备好学生、深入理解。

每一堂课上起来就不觉的呆板，充分调动学生的主动性和积极性，共同营造和谐合作的课堂氛围。

因材狮教是教学的一贯宗旨，每个学生都可以进步，只要他取得一定的成绩都应给予鼓励。

一位圣人说过“知之者不如好之者，好之者不如乐之者。

”鼓励是学生学习动力、培养学生学习兴趣和积极性的添加剂。

学生乐于学习，变被动为主动，不断探知，学有长进，这才是教学根本。

2、坚持运用情景教学。

教师在学生中应活跃课堂气氛，争取学生学习的趣味性，在教学中采取情景教学法，更能培养学生的语言运用能力。

利用课室内外情景教学应注意灵活性，应便性，尽可能运用多种多样的形式：有时可以用实物，有时可以用简笔画，有条件的用上幻灯片、电视、多煤体教学更好，无形中课堂就形成了一个小舞台，使学生在实践中得到锻炼，学生的英语达到实际的目的，更好的让学生在轻快、娱乐的环境中进行学习，提高学生学习英语的兴趣。

例如：在学习hot，cold ，rainy，windy，sunny 等表示天气情况的单词的同时引导学生用简单的动作来表达单词的意思。

如：吹扇子、戴帽子表示hot，打雨伞或穿雨衣表示rainy，树枝摇摆表示windy，戴太阳镜表示sunny等等，通过这些情景表演，充分调动了学生学习英语的积极性，让学生在轻松活跃的环境中接受新知识。

教学效果非常好，所以，教师创设情景教学，可以达到事半功倍的成效。

，
3、坚持作值日报告制度。

在课堂上，坚持课堂前的5分钟的值日报告，值日报告是一种很好的交际训练形式，上课前老师与学生之间的问与答，都提供一个英语交际的真实情景。

并且不能每天只问Who’s on duty？Everyone is here today？这样学生听久了回厌烦，因此要多样化，一方面通过教师提问，学生来营造语言环境，进行交际活动。

例如在学习一般现在时的时态时，教师要想询问学生一天的学习生活情况，可以设计下列问题：
1、What time do you get up every day？
2、Do you read English every morning？
3、How many lessons do you have in the morning？
4、What time do you have breakfast？
5、Do you have lunch at school or at home？
6、What time do you have lessons in the afternoon？
7、What time do you have supper？
8、Do you do your home work every evening？
9、What time do you go to bed？
10、Do you go to school by bike or on foot？
这样的问题是现实生活中的实际问题可充分调动学生的积极性来回答，收到良好的效果，提高了课堂教学的密度和效率。

另一方面让学生以组为单位，互相对话，学生在头脑中形成一个交际场面，例如两个学生可以以“weather”为话题进行对话。

A：What’s the weather like today？
B：It’s very cold。

A：Oh，put your coat on please.
B：Thank you very much.
A：That’s all right.
采用这种自由的对话方式,首先激发了学生想要说和交际的欲望, 尽量让每位同学都有锻炼开口的机会，培养了交际的信心和胆量。

李岚清副总理指出，“中国对外开放，我们一个弱点就是对外交际的语言问题，我们要认真研究中国人用什么办法学英语才能了取得最好的效果。

”这说明英语教学中，实施素质教育，培养适应时代需要的全面发展的外语人才，是我们当前英语教学中的重要任务。

Saving the Birds
One day in spring four men were riding on horseback along a country road. These men were lawyers, and they were going to the next town to attend court.
There had been a rain, and the ground was very soft. Water was dripping from the trees, and the grass was wet.
The four lawyers rode along, one behind another; for the pathway was narrow, and the mud on each side of it was deep. They rode slowly, and talked and laughed and were very jolly.
As they were passing through a grove of small trees, they heard a
great flutterin（振抖）over their heads and a feeble chirping in the grass by the roadside.
"Stith! stith! stith!" came from the leafy branches above them.
"Cheep! cheep! cheep!" came from the wet grass.
"What is the matter here?" asked the first lawyer, whose name was Speed. "Oh, it's only some old robins!" said the second lawyer, whose name was Hardin. "The storm has blown two of the little ones out of the nest. They are too young to fly, and the mother bird is making a great fuss about it."
"What a pity! They'll die down there in the grass," said the third lawyer, whose name I forget.
"Oh, well! They're nothing but birds," said Mr. Hardin. "Why should we bother?"
"Yes, why should we?" said Mr. Speed.
The three men, as they passed, looked down and saw the little birds fluttering in the cold, wet grass. They saw the mother robin flying about, and crying to her mate.
Then they rode on, talking and laughing as before. In a few minutes they had forgotten about the birds.
But the fourth lawyer, whose name was Abraham Lincoln, stopped. He got down from his horse and very gently took the little ones up in his big warm hands.
They did not seem frightened, but chirped softly, as if they knew they were safe.
"Never mind, my little fellows," said Mr. Lincoln "I will put you in your own cozy little bed."
Then he looked up to find the nest from which they had fallen. It was high, much higher than he could reach.
But Mr. Lincoln could climb. He had climbed many a tree when he was a boy. He put the birds softly, one by one, into their warm little home. Two other baby birds were there, that had not fallen out. All cuddled down together and were very happy.
Soon the three lawyers who had ridden ahead stopped at a spring to give their horses water.
"Where is Lincoln?" asked one.
All were surprised to find that he was not with them.
"Do you remember those birds?" said Mr. Speed. "Very likely he has stopped to take care of them."
In a few minutes Mr. Lincoln joined them. His shoes were covered with mud; he had torn his coat on the thorny tree.
"Hello, Abraham!" said Mr. Hardin. "Where have you been?"
"I stopped a minute to give those birds to their mother," he answered.
"Well, we always thought you were a hero," said Mr. Speed. "Now we know it."
Then all three of them laughed heartily. They thought it so foolish that a strong man should take so much trouble just for some worthless young birds.
"Gentlemen," said Mr. Lincoln, "I could not have slept to-night, if I had left those helpless little robins to perish in the wet grass."
Abraham Lincoln afterwards became very famous as a lawyer and statesman. He was elected president. Next to Washington he was the greatest American.。
