Act Without words
action ovet words作文
action ovet words作文案例一：As a old saying goes,Actions speak louder than words.The saying aptly illustrates that taking action is of great important.In this competitive society, we must improve ourselves constantly to keep up with the development of the times,by not only seting specific goals,but also taking actual actions.Some young people are always have ambitious dreams or plans but never take actions for them,thus they won't eventually taste the fruits of success.In business world,it's rather important to taking actions to make profit.Providing that a perfect business plan is the embryo of the success,it's no doubt that the actions should be the water or sunlight.A man of words and not deeds is like a garden full of weeds,rather,one crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name.Set vivid, detailed goals for the future,most important of all,take actions for it,Only if we make the best use of the mutual function of these two elements, can we get a taste of success.正如一句老话所说，行动胜于雄辩。

She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this in gunman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about one’s fellow man?Not so, say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to seek the reasons why people didn’t act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency.Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall to the side-walk. Is he having a heart attack? Is he in a coma from diabetes(糖尿病)? Or is he about to sleep off a drunk?Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak in the air conditioning? Is it steam pipes? Or is it really smoke from a fire? It’s not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be tested. Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The receptionist started them off on the tests. Then she went into the next room. A curtain divided the testing room and the room into which she went. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of file cabinets falling and a cry for help. All of this had been pre-recorded on a tape-recorder.Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn’t. They do not feel any direct responsibility.Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble? Yes. Scientists found that the people were emotional, they sweated, they had trembling hands. They felt the other person’s trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.11.The purpose of this passage is ____________.A.to explain why people fail to act in emergenciesB.to explain when people will act in emergenciesC.to explain what people will do in emergenciesD.to explain how people feel in emergencies12.The researchers have conducted an experiment to prove that people will act in emergencies when ____________.A.they are in pairsB.they are in groupsC.they are aloneD.they are with their friends13.The main reason why people fail to act when they stay together is that ____________.A.they are afraid of emergenciesC.others will act if they themselves hesitateD.they do not have any direct responsibility for those who need help14.The author suggests that ____________.A.we shouldn’t blame a person if he fails to act in emergenciesB.a person must feel guilty if he fails to helpC.people should be responsible for themselves in emergenciesD.when you are in trouble, people will help you anyway三、七选五Everyone is born with the ability to learn. There are normally two types of learning in our daily life and study — active learning and passive (被动的) learning. 15. This will help you develop a habit of active learning gradually.16. I bet that no one sits down to read with the purpose of not getting the contents. But I’m sure that some of you have been in a situation, probably more than once, where you read an assignment, closed the book and thought “what the word was about”. 17. Active readers, on the other hand, set goals and check their understanding as they read. When they finish, they can explain the main points and know that they’ve seen what they have read.Active learners think about information deeply and critically. Being thoughtful is an important part of active learning, because it means that you are analyzing and absorbing the information. 18. For instance, you may make connections between the new information and what you already know, identify concepts that you may not understand very well, or evaluate the importance of what you are reading. An active learner considers constantly in this way. In contrast, passive learners may read the text and listen to lectures and even understand most of what is read and heard. 19.All in all, behavior of an active learner and a passive one varies greatly. Equipping yourself with study strategies (策略) of active learners may eventually help you become one of themB.You need to know some differences between them.C.In other words, you are processing what you read.D.However, that important step of reflecting on it is not taken.E.Active learners accept much of the responsibility for learning.F.When interacting with the text in this way, you are doing passively.G.Active learners study with the purpose of grasping and memorizing information.四、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

《Unit 4 Reading and Thinking》示范课教案【高中英语选修一人教版】
Unit 4 Body LanguageReading and Thinking教学设计教材分析本单元围绕“肢体语言”（Body Language）这一主题，介绍了不同国家、不同文化、不同场合、不同语境中的肢体语言所表达的意义。
开篇页主题图由四张反映不同场景中的典型肢体语言的照片拼接而成。
而图中的引言“我的身体会说出我用言语掩饰的话”出自法国作家、社会评论家和文学评论家罗兰·巴特。
引言与主题图相呼应，旨在引出本单元“肢体语言”的主题。
同时也为本单元Reading and Thinking有关肢体语言的内容作铺垫。
阅读板块围绕“理解（读懂）肢体语言”（Understand body language）为第一个重要活动主题，该部分主要从地域文化的角度解读肢体语言。
学生需要理解肢体语言与语言表达在实际交流中是共存的，并在一定程度上承担着传情达意的功能；同时，学生还应理解，因为地域文化的不同，肢体语言也可能有相应的变化，同一个动作可能传递不同的意义和情绪。
教学目标1. 能正确理解使用下列词汇：interaction，vary，approve，cheek，bow，anger等。
2. 能读懂并理解说明文，了解用以说明现象和阐明事理。
3. 通过阅读开篇页信息，熟悉单元主题语境，预测单元内容，明确学习内容。
4. 能够在阅读语篇中根据上下文线索正确理解文本没有直接表达的意义。
5. 能够梳理和比较不同文化背景中的肢体语言的共性和差异。
教学重难点【教学重点】引导学生了解肢体语言的地域文化属性，形成有深度的文化对比，进而培养基于文化理解的尊重与自觉意识。
【教学难点】在阅读策略中，培养学生读出语篇言外之意的能力。
教学过程Step 1 Warming-up1.Look at the opening page and discuss the following question.What comes to your mind when you see the unit title and the theme picture?2. Appreciate quote and think of the questions.➢How do you understand the quote?➢What does Barthes mean by “my body utters”?设计意图：引导学生讨论开篇页所呈现的信息，引出本单元话题，激活学生关于肢体语言的背景知识。

communication without words
Communication Without WordsWhen you learn a foreign language you must learn more than just the vocabulary and the grammar . To communicate successfully in speech ,you must also learnthe non-verbal language ,or “body language”, of that culture. “body language” is a term used to describe facial expressions, gestures, and other movements of the body that send messages. This means of communicationis so important that we may actually say more with our movements than we do with words .当你学一门外语时，你要学的不仅仅是词汇和语法。
要想成功地进行交谈，你还必须学习该种文化的非言语性语言，或者说“肢体语言”。
“肢体语言”是用来描述那些可以传递信息的脸部表情、手势以及其他身体动作的术语。
这种交流方法非常重要，实际上我们用动作表达的信息比用言语表达的信息还要多。
Speaking a foreign language is sometimes difficult because we may not understand the non-verbal signals of another culture ,or they may mean something very different from what they mean in our own culture .For example ,nodding the head up and down is a gesture that communicate a different parts of the world . In North America, it means “I agree.”In the Middle East, noddingthe head down means “I agree.”and up means “I disagree .”In a conversation among Japanese ,it often simply means “I am listening .”One Japanese student inthe United States learned the difference the hard way .While speaking with a salesman ,the student noddedhis head politely to show that he was paying attention . The next day the salesman brought a new washing machine to the student’s apartment.有时候我们发现说一门外语很困难，因为我们可能不了解另一种文化的非言语信号，或者说那些信号在我们自己文化中的含义可能迥然不同。
初中英语作文,行动胜于空谈
初中英语作文,行动胜于空谈1Action is always more powerful than empty talk. This truth holds true in various aspects of our lives. Take the field of study, for instance. Some students keep saying that they aim to achieve excellent grades, yet they never put in the effort to study. They just talk the talk but fail to walk the walk. On the contrary, there are those classmates who choose to act silently. They study diligently every day, complete their homework carefully, and review the knowledge learned regularly. Eventually, they make remarkable progress and achieve good results.Another example can be found in community service. Some people make promises to participate but never show up. Their words are nothing but empty sounds. However, there are individuals who take action actively. They volunteer their time, offer help to those in need, and contribute to making the community a better place.In conclusion, it is clear that only through concrete actions can we achieve our goals and make a difference. Empty talk leads nowhere. Let us all be doers and turn our words into deeds to create a more meaningful and successful life.2Action Speaks Louder than WordsIt is widely acknowledged that action holds more significance than mere words. Many successful stories prove this truth. Consider an entrepreneur who had a brilliant idea. Instead of just talking about it, he or she took decisive actions. They faced numerous challenges, dealt with various problems, and made countless adjustments. Through continuous efforts and practical actions, the business gradually grew and eventually achieved remarkable success.Another example is an athlete. Day after day, they trained rigorously. They endured the pain and tiredness, never giving up. They didn't just dream of winning medals but put in the hard work. When the competition came, all their efforts paid off, and they achieved excellent results.In our daily lives, we often encounter people who talk big but do little. However, those who take real actions are the ones who make a difference. Only by translating our words into deeds can we achieve our goals and realize our dreams. So, let's stop empty talk and start taking action. Because it is the actions we take that shape our future and lead us to the path of success.3When it comes to the topic of whether action is more valuable than empty talk, I have my own experiences to share. Once, I set a detailed study plan for myself with the aim of improving my grades in math. Instead of just talking about it, I took action. Every day after school, I devoted extratime to practicing math problems and reviewing lessons. I didn't give up when facing difficulties but sought help from teachers and classmates. Through consistent efforts and practical actions, my math grades improved significantly.Another example was when I participated in a volunteer activity to help the elderly in the community. We didn't just talk about how to care for them; we actually went to their homes, cleaned for them, chatted with them, and listened to their stories. By doing these concrete actions, we brought real joy and warmth to their lives.From these experiences, I firmly believe that action is far more important than mere words. Only by taking real actions can we achieve our goals and make a difference in the world. Empty talk leads nowhere; it's the actions that count.4Actions speak louder than words. This age-old adage holds true throughout history. Take Thomas Edison, for instance. He didn't just dream of inventing the electric light; he took action. Countless experiments, numerous failures, but he persisted. He didn't stop at the stage of mere conception. His hands-on efforts and determination led to a revolutionary invention that changed the world.Another remarkable example is Jack Ma. He didn't just talk about creating a vast business empire; he rolled up his sleeves and got to work.He faced countless challenges and rejections, yet he remained undeterred. Through his actions, he transformed his vision into reality, making Alibaba a household name globally.These examples clearly demonstrate that it is action that brings about success. Merely having ideas or talking about them is not enough. It is the actual steps taken, the hard work put in, and the perseverance shown that make the difference.In our daily lives, too, we often come across people who are full of talk but lack the drive to act. They may have grand plans but never make a move to implement them. On the contrary, those who take decisive action, even in the face of difficulties, are the ones who achieve their goals and make a significant impact.So, let us remember that it is through action that we can turn our dreams into reality and create a better future for ourselves and the world around us.5Action is Far Better than WordsIt is widely acknowledged that action holds greater significance than mere words. As Benjamin Franklin once said, “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” This profound statement emphasizes the importance of active participation over passive listening.Take scientists, for instance. They do not merely theorize and talkabout scientific advancements; they conduct experiments and take practical actions to make remarkable breakthroughs. Through countless hours of research and hands-on work in the laboratory, they turn hypotheses into realities, bringing about revolutionary changes in various fields such as medicine, technology, and environmental protection.In our daily lives as well, we often encounter situations where actions speak louder than words. A person who promises to help but never actually does anything is of little value. However, someone who takes the initiative to act, even with small deeds, makes a more positive impact.In conclusion, it is clear that actions have the power to bring about real change and achievements. We should all strive to be doers rather than just talkers, as only through concrete actions can we truly fulfill our goals and create a better world.。
吉林省吉林市第一中学2024-2025学年高一上学期第一次月考英语试题
吉林省吉林市第一中学2024-2025学年高一上学期第一次月考英语试题一、阅读理解The following are four once-in-a-lifetime mountain hikes.The Inca Trail, PeruThe Inca Trail offers a seven-day hike focusing on unique Peruvian culture. Led by our well-informed guides, you'll see some historical villages, visit an old-fashioned coffee farm, and attend a traditional offering to "Pachamama". After a long day on your feet, relax with a traditional Peruvian meal and have a night's rest in a local cottage（村舍）The Dolomites, ItalyThe On Foot Holidays' self-guided hike through the Dolomites covers the grassland of South Tyrol, the famous peaks of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and the amazing town of Cortina d'Ampezzo. You'll climb from the Falzarego Pass, cross through to the Col dei Bos and up Mt. Lagazuoi, with its network of World War I tunnels.Mount Kilimanjaro, TanzaniaMore than 19,000 feet above sea level, Mount Kilimanjaro, an inactive volcano, is Africa's highest mountain. Climbing it is a multi-day trip through five climate zones. Duma Explorer offers several different routes（路线）up Kilimanjaro—the most popular are the seven-day Machame route, eight-day Lemosho route and a nine-day trip via the Northern Circuit. Hikes include camping equipment, meals and guides.Chilkoot Trail, AlaskaIn 1897, the Chilkoot Trail was changed from a sleepy trade route into a busy road, as part of the Gold Rush. The rush dried up within a year, but you can follow in the boomers' footsteps with Alaska Shore Hikes, through thick forest and up the Sainly Hill. Then it's a peaceful raft（木筏）ride along the Taiya River. A six-hour hike provides tourists with transportation, safety equipment and guides.1．Which of the following is suitable for hikers without guides?A．The Inca Trail, Peru B．The Dolomites, Italy.C．Chilkoot Trail. Alaska D．Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.2．What can we know from the text?A．Chilkoot Trail used to be a busy road.B．Hikers will cover five climates zones in the Inca Trail.C．It just takes six hours to finish the Chilkoot Trail route.D．Hikers can visit an old-fashioned coffee farm in Mount Kilimanjaro.3．From which is the text probably taken from?A．An encyclopedia.B．A geography book C．A science report.D．A travel brochure.Rollins College’s graduate, Elizabeth Bonker gave a powerful speech at the school’s graduation ceremony using text-to-speech technology. “You have a voice. Use it,” she advised graduates. It seems funny that a non-speaking autistic (孤独症患者) encourages you to use your voice. However, her moving speech touched not only her fellow classmates but also the worldwide audience with a powerful message of hope.Throughout her academic career, Elizabeth has studied hard to reach her goals at school and in life. She wrote a book, I Am in Here, which highlights the abilities of people like her with non-speaking autism. She also founded a non-profit organization called Communication 4 All.Elizabeth has a form of autism that resulted in her losing the ability to speak when she was 15 months old. After she lost her speech her family helped her learn to communicate by typing. She has become a supporter of assistive communication and typing instruction for those with non-speaking autism.“I have typed this speech with one finger with a communication partner holding a keyboard,” shared Elizabeth. She gave her persuasive speech through text-to-speech technology.Elizabeth majored in social service with the purpose of helping the 31 million people in the world who have non-speaking autism. She strongly believes that service to others gives meaning to each individual and to those they serve.Throughout her life, Elizabeth has sought a platform where others would hear and accept her. She ignored negative comments and the low expectations others had for her life. Instead, she walked down her own path and set out to realize her dreams using intellect, talent anddetermination. She encouraged her fellow classmates to use their education and the power of their own minds to help make their dream a reality.4．What effect does Elizabeth’s speech have on the audience?A．It brings them hope.B．It inspires them to use technology.C．It informs them of more about autism.D．It encourages them to make speeches.5．What did Elizabeth’s family do after she was unable to speak?A．They tried their best to teach her how to speak.B．They started a non-profit organization for her.C．They helped her find another way of communication.D．They created the text-to-speech technology to help her.6．Why did Elizabeth choose social service as her major?A．To develop her potential and strengths.B．To get better employment opportunities.C．To make her childhood dream come true.D．To help more people like her in the world.7．Which words can be used to describe Elizabeth?A．Positive and creative.B．Strong-minded and helpful.C．Energetic and humorous.D．Kind-hearted and imaginative.A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It does matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves -- the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self- talk” helps us motivate(激励)ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware(意识到), though, that as much as 77% of self- talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back: The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk(店员)will probably answer in a similar manner. Or harsh(刻薄的)and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words have power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say does not pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self- esteem(自尊)and motivate others to do their best. Negative words des troy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.8．What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A．Not sticks and stones but words will hurt us.B．Encouraging words give us confidence.C．Negative words may let us down.D．Words have a great effect on us.9．Why is there no need for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves?A．Because almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves.B．Because talking to ourselves can have positive effect on us.C．Because talking to ourselves always gives us courage.D．Because it does no harm to have “self- talk” when we are alone.10．The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely to________ A．praise ourselves B．remind ourselvesC．make ourselves relaxed D．give ourselves happiness11．What view would the author probably hold?A．Encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers.B．Negative words may encourage us to make more progress.C．People tend to remember friendly words.D．It is better to think twice before talking to others.Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom, ‘Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits. (轨迹) Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve (包含) a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.”But family experts warn that the new equality (平等) can also result in less respect for parents. “There’s still a lot strictness and authority (权威) on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College, “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.”Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these changing roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic (民主) process that encourages everyone to have a say.“My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change, but today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests doesmake it more fun to be a parent now.”12．The underlined word “gulf” in Para. 3 most probably means _________.A．interest B．problem C．difference D．separation 13．Which of the following show that the generation gap is disappearing?A．Parents help their children develop interests in more activities.B．Parents put more trust in their children’s abilities.C．Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.D．Parents share more interests with their children.14．What is the change in today’s parent-child relationship?A．More confusion among parentsB．New equality between parents and childrenC．Less respect for parents from childrenD．More strictness and authority on the part of parents15．The purpose of the passage is to _________.A．describe the difficulties today’s parents have met withB．discuss the change of the parent-child relationshipC．suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationshipD．stress the importance of parent-child relationshipReasons Why Running Is the Easiest ExerciseSome people think that running is hard. I once thought that too. 16 Here’s why it is such an easy activity to start and stick to.★It can be as easy or hard as you want.Many people start running by going out and running as fast as they can for as long as they can. That is not so fun. 17 But easing into it is a different story. Start slowly and cover a short distance. Then gradually work your way up to it. In this way, running can be pain-free and actually wonderful.★ 18Classes at the gym are great but they always end up never working for me. With a busy life, I find it hard to take a class. On the other hand, with running, you just need to find the timewhenever you can, here and there, and change it around.★The gear (设备) is simple.19 However, that’s really just about all you need. Expensive sport-specific clothes are available(可用的) but not required. If you fall in love with running, you may think you need some seasonal running clothes. Even so, that will be cheaper than bike gear.★You can do it anywhere.You can run in the city. You can run in the country. You can run on a track, in a park, on the street or even on the beach. You can run at home. You can run when you travel. And in fact, running around new cities when you’re traveling is great fun. 20A．You can do it on your own schedule.B．Choose some training classes at the gym.C．It is important to have proper running shoes.D．It might make you hurt or even cause injuries.E．That is a wonderful way to get to know a place.F．Starting at a running track is a great way to begin.G．But if you work out properly, it is easy and wonderful.二、完形填空Older citizens join China’s digital ageDigital technology has made life easier for most people. With a smart phone in hand, people can shop online, watch TV shows and 21 a taxi.Zhu Yiwei, 17, from Anhui province, wanted his grandfather to have access to this 22 , so he bought him a new phone as a gift. But his grandfather still uses the phone just for calling and 23 . “He said other functions make him confused.” said Zhu.This is a 24 problem faced by the elderly in the digital age.Although China already has more than 900 million Internet users, among them, those aged 60 and above 25 just 6.7 percent, according to the Statistical Report on Internet Development.Even though the elderly have access to the Internet, they 26 do it for communicationand information acquisition (获取), according to a survey by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Other services are still 27 to them. That’s why elderly people are sometimes called “digital refugees (难民)”.“We have made a lifelong 28 to society, but now we feel 29 by it,” a 75-year-old Beijing resident surnamed Bai told the Global Times.For the elderly, one way of 30 digital technology is to learn from younger family members. However, not all of these younger people have the 31 or time to teach the elderly. In addition, aging32 many physical problems, such as 33 eyesight and bad memory. This makes it 34 to use smart phones.The government and other organizations in China are trying to help. See Young, a Beijing based NGO, 35 to help China’s elderly use mobile services. Student volunteers have been providing free computer and smartphone training for elderly people in over 200 communities across the country.21．A．prepare B．strike C．hire D．maintain 22．A．quality B．convenience C．solution D．effect 23．A．messaging B．applying C．selecting D．referring 24．A．usual B．various C．serious D．common 25．A．make up B．take up C．pick up D．burn up 26．A．hardly B．gradually C．mainly D．currently 27．A．familiar B．strange C．positive D．negative 28．A．creativity B．resource C．impression D．contribution 29．A．frightened B．limited C．excited D．deserted 30．A．organizing B．observing C．mastering D．ignoring 31．A．curiosity B．patience C．benefit D．passion 32．A．results in B．takes in C．joins in D．calls in 33．A．narrow B．plain C．weak D．entire 34．A．deeper B．harder C．simpler D．faster 35．A．refuses B．struggles C．aims D．adapts三、单词拼写36．Machines still have disadvantages when it comes to facial (辨别出).(根据汉语提示单词拼写)37．One day after class, a student came up to me and (推荐；建议)traditional Chinese medicine.

行动胜过语音英语作文
行动胜过语音英语作文Title: Actions Speak Louder than Words。
In today's world, where communication happens at the speed of light and opinions are often voiced loudly, the value of action often gets overlooked. However, it is undeniable that actions carry more weight and significance than mere words. This essay explores the importance and impact of actions over words.Firstly, actions have the power to inspire and motivate others in ways that words cannot. A person may make grand promises or articulate beautiful ideals, but it is only when those words are followed by concrete actions that true inspiration occurs. For example, a leader who leads by example, demonstrating dedication, hard work, and integrity, is far more effective in motivating their team members than one who simply talks about these qualities.Moreover, actions build trust and credibility. Anyonecan say anything, but it is the consistent behavior and actions that demonstrate one's true character and intentions. In personal relationships, for instance, trustis established and strengthened through actions that align with words. If someone repeatedly promises to be there for their friend in times of need but fails to show up when it matters, their words lose their meaning and trust is eroded.Furthermore, actions produce tangible results and bring about real change. While words can express intentions and desires, it is through action that goals are achieved and progress is made. Consider the difference between someone who talks about environmental conservation and someone who actively participates in cleanup efforts or advocates for policy changes. The latter's actions lead to measurable improvements in the environment, whereas the former's words alone have limited impact.Additionally, actions often speak more loudly in situations where words fail to convey the depth of emotionor conviction. For instance, a simple gesture of kindness, such as lending a helping hand to someone in need, cancommunicate empathy and compassion far more effectivelythan any words of sympathy. In times of crisis or adversity, actions become a beacon of hope and solidarity, providing comfort and support when words seem inadequate.However, it is essential to acknowledge that words also have their place and significance. Words can inspire, educate, and facilitate understanding when usedthoughtfully and sincerely. They can articulate values, convey ideas, and initiate change by sparking conversations and mobilizing communities. Nevertheless, without corresponding actions to back them up, words remain empty and devoid of impact.In conclusion, actions speak louder than words because they inspire, build trust, produce results, and convey emotions more effectively. While words have their value, it is through action that intentions are realized, and meaningful change is brought about. Therefore, it is imperative to prioritize actions over mere rhetoric in our personal lives, relationships, and endeavors to create a better world.。

I used to think English was really hard and kind of boring. But then something changed and now I LOVE it!First of all, English opens up a whole new world of books, movies, TV shows, music, and more! There are so many amazing stories, songs, and jokes that you can only fully understand and enjoy in English. My favorite book series is Harry Potter - I've read all the books in Chinese, but there's just something extra special about reading them in the original English. The language feels more vivid and magical. I also love watching cartoons and movies in English without subtitles. It makes me feel like I'm really there with the characters.Another awesome thing about English is that you can make friends all over the world! Knowing English means you can chat with kids from the United States, Canada, Australia, and so many other countries. I have English penpals from India and South Africa that I write to regularly. We share stories about our cultures, families, hobbies, and more. It's like having friends you've never even met in person! I've learned so much about the world just from talking to my penpals.Speaking of the world, learning English can also let you travel to cool places more easily. When you know some English, things like reading signs, asking for directions, and ordering food become way simpler. My family went to Hong Kong last year and because I could speak a little English, I was able to help my parents figure out the subway system and ask the hotel staff for recommendations on places to visit. I felt like such a grown-up being able to use my English skills!In school, having solid English abilities opens up so many opportunities too. The better your English, the easier time you'll have with reading comprehension, writing essays, and even math word problems! Good English can help boost your grades across all your classes. Plus, strong English skills make it easier to get into a fancy university one day. Universities all over the world want students who can speak and write in English well.But probably the main reason I love learning English so much is...it's just plain fun! Making animal sound word games, singing silly songs, telling jokes and riddles, playing Mad Libs - English class is always filled with cool activities that make me smile and laugh. My English teacher, Miss Jackson, always makes learning feel like an adventure rather than hard work. Just last week, we had an entire class dedicated to exploring fun Englishexpressions like "raining cats and dogs" and "jumping the gun." It's amazing how many weird and creative phrases there are in English!I have to admit, in the beginning, memorizing vocabulary lists and verb tenses was pretty dull. But now that I'm starting to really grasp the language, English feels like this awesome code I get to decode. Cracking the meaning of idioms, untangling tongue twisters, and expertly using slang with my classmates gives me a little thrill of pride and joy. English is a puzzle, but a super entertaining one!Learning any new language takes time and effort for sure. But I've found that the more I stick with my English studies, the more natural and easy it becomes. It's just like riding a bike or learning a sport - the skills build on each other and it gets fun once you start making progress. I may still make silly mistakes sometimes, but I'm not afraid to try. The more I use my English, the stronger it gets!So if you're feeling bored, frustrated, or just "over" learning English, I encourage you to pause and think about all the awesome reasons to stick with it. Watching an English movie you love, writing to a penpal, or just repeating a cool new slang phrase can provide a little burst of motivation. TheEnglish-speaking world is huge and amazing - don't you want to be a part of it?In the end, learning English is a journey, not a race. It's going to take time, but having a positive attitude and remembering why you're doing it can make it feel so much more rewarding. For me, English represents opportunities, connections, and pure fun. So keep your chin up and don't lose your English passion! It's going to be an adventure.篇3Title: Why Learning English is So Much Fun!Hi friends! My name is Emma and I'm in 5th grade. Today I want to tell you all about why learning English is awesome and so much fun. I hope this will get you excited to study English when you get to middle school!First of all, English is like a super cool secret code that lets you talk to people from all over the world. Isn't that neat? With English, you can make friends with kids from the U.S., U.K., Australia, and lots of other countries. My English teacher showed us videos of students our age from different places, and we got to write them letters introducing ourselves. Some of them wroteback, and it was so exciting getting messages from new friends far away! English is the language that connects the world.Another reason English is fun is because of all the great books, movies, TV shows, video games, and music you can enjoy in English. Some of my favorite authors like J.K. Rowling who wrote Harry Potter originally wrote their stories in English. Same with awesome movies like The Lion King and cool TV shows like Stranger Things. Lots of the best video games too are first made in English before being translated. And don't get me started on music - so many of the most popular singers perform their songs in English like Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish, and BTS! Learning English gives you access to amazing entertainment from all around the globe.But English class isn't just about reading, watching, and listening. One of the most enjoyable parts is the games and activities we get to do to practice our skills. Like when we play English Charades and act out words for our classmates to guess. Or rhetorical rap battles where we take turns improvising funny rhymes and jokes in English. My favorite is English Jeopardy where we divide into teams and compete to answer questions covering vocabulary, grammar, idioms, you name it. The teachermakes it into an exciting game show with creative point values and rules. It definitely doesn't feel like regular old studying!Speaking of studying, you know what makes learning English a million times more fun and easy? Learning it while you're still a kid! Young kids' brains are like super-spunges that can absorb new languages much faster than teens and adults. The teacher says that's because we don't have the blockages that older learners tend to get where they overthink things or have a hard time adjusting how their mouth moves to form new sounds. Since we're already in the process of figuring out how to speak, read, and write with our native language, adding English into the mix isn't nearly as difficult. So if you start taking English in middle school, you'll be way ahead of the game!Another awesome perk of learning English is getting to travel and experience incredible places when you're older. With English, the whole world opens up for you. You can visitworld-famous cities like New York, London, Sydney, or anywhere that has easy English signage and plenty of people to practice conversing with. Imagine standing in front of the Statue of Liberty, Big Ben, or the Sydney Opera House and knowing you can read everything, ask for directions, order food, and make new English-speaking friends from the area. How cool is that?English gives you the key to unlock opportunities formind-blowing adventures anywhere on the map.Those are just some of the reasons why I believe English is such an awesome language to learn while you're still young. It connects you to awesome stuff from all over, makes learning feel like fun games, lets you start ahead of the curve, and unlocks travel potential for later on. I can't wait to become fluent so I can put my English to use exploring new worlds!So what do you think? Are you feeling excited about English class after hearing how great it is? I know middle school can seem super intimidating, but don't be scared. Embrace it as an awesome new chance to learn this incredible skill. Work hard, stay motivated, and I'm sure you'll gain the English superpower before you know it! Let me know if you have any other questions about learning English. I'm always happy to help fellow students on their journey. Thanks for reading, and happy studying!篇4How to Make English Class Fun For Middle SchoolersHi there! My name is Tommy and I'm a 5th grader. I used to really dislike English class because it was so boring and difficult. But then my English teacher Ms. Johnson started doing somereally cool things to make it way more interesting and fun. Now English is one of my favorite classes! Let me tell you about some of the awesome activities we do.One of the best things is when we play games to practice vocabulary words and grammar rules. Like this one game where we split into teams and have to act out words without talking for the others to guess. It's hilarious watching my friends act like monkeys and airplanes! We also do competitions where we race to put sentences in the right order or pick the verb tenses. Mrs. Johnson gives us candy prizes which makes us really want to win.Another super fun thing is when we read stories and comics together as a class. The stories are always really engaging, like fantasy tales about unicorns or spies on secret missions. And the comics are so funny, with crazy characters doing wacky things. After we read, we discuss what happened and share our favorite parts. I love hearing my classmates' different perspectives!Sometimes we also watch movie clips or video clips for listening practice. It's awesome because the videos are from popular movies and TV shows that I already know and like, such as Star Wars or cartoons. And the scenes are really dramatic or hilarious, so they keep my attention. Afterwards, we answer questions about whatwe watched or summarize the main events.For writing practice, we get to be really creative. We don't just do boring essays or stories. Sometimes we write scripts and act them out. Other times we make comic strips or design picture books with captions. We can write about anything we want - superheros, pets, video games, you name it! I made an awesome comic book about Iron Man fighting aliens. My friends loved it.My favorite activity though is probably show and tell. Each week, one student gets to bring in something special and present it to the class in English. We get to see really cool things like stuffed animal collections, magic tricks, sports medals, and more. The speaker teaches us new vocabulary words related to their object and we ask them questions about it. It's a great way to learn about everyone's interests and cultures too.So those are some of the amazing ways that make English class engaging and meaningful for us middle schoolers. Instead of just doing boring worksheets and textbooks, we play, create, discuss, and explore. English becomes this fun, interactive experience where we're always discovering new things. I find myself excited to participate and I'm soaking up the language without even realizing it. My English skills have improved so much.I really think more English classes for kids our age should follow Mrs. Johnson's style. If classes are too serious and repetitive, we just get bored and tune out. But if you make lessons interactive, hands-on, and let us explore our personal interests, we become naturally motivated to learn the material. English is a difficult subject, but applying it through games, stories, media, and projects makes it feel easy and enjoyable. Trust me, my friends and I look forward to English class every day now. Once you find the right approach for your students' age and interests, suddenly that "dreadful" English class becomes the best part of the school day!篇5Yay, We're Gonna Learn English!English is the coolest language ever! I know that might sound weird coming from a kid, but just hear me out. Learning English opens up a whole new world of fun and adventure. It's like getting a super power that lets you understand people from all over the globe. How awesome is that?When I first started learning English, I'll admit, I wasn't too thrilled about it. I thought it would be boring and hard. Boy, was I wrong! My English teacher, Ms. Jameson, made it so much fun.She would have us play games, sing songs, and watch cool videos – all in English! Before I knew it, I was picking up new words and phrases without even trying.One of my favorite things we did was reading stories together. Ms. Jameson would bring in these amazing books with awesome pictures and characters. We'd take turns reading out loud, and she'd help us with the tricky words. It was like going on a magical adventure every time!Then there were the games. Oh man, the games were the best! We'd play this one game called "Charades" where we had to act out words or phrases without speaking. It was hilarious watching my friends try to act like a hungry lion or a spaceship taking off. And the best part? We were learning English without even realizing it!But you know what really got me hooked? Movies and TV shows in English! Ms. Jameson would put on these awesome flicks with subtitles, so we could follow along. I remember watching "Finding Nemo" and being mesmerized by the colorful fish and their crazy adventures. And the best part? I was understanding more and more of what they were saying!That's when it hit me – learning English wasn't just about memorizing words and grammar rules. It was about opening upa whole new world of entertainment, stories, and experiences. I could watch movies, read books, and even play video games in English! How cool is that?And let's not forget about the practical side of things. Knowing English means you can communicate with people from all over the world. Imagine being able to make friends with kids from different countries or even travel to amazing places without getting lost in translation. That's the power of English, my friends!Of course, learning a new language isn't always easy. There were times when I felt frustrated or overwhelmed. But Ms. Jameson was always there to encourage us and remind us of how far we'd come. She celebrated our successes, no matter how small, and pushed us to keep going.And you know what? It paid off. By the end of the year, I could hold basic conversations, read simple books, and even write short stories in English.
