factors.The study of the psychology of personality, called personality psychology,attempts to explain the tendencies that underlie differences in behavior.Many approaches have been taken to studying personality,including biological, cognitive,learning and trait based theories.Personality is often divided into statistically-identified factors called the Big Five,which are openness to experience,conscientiousness,extraversion,agreeableness,and neuroticism(or emotional stability).These components are generally stable over time,and about half of the variance appears to be attributable to a person’s genetics rather than the effects of one’s environment.Justin Baldoni(the speaker)Justin Louis Baldoni(born January24,1984)is an American actor,director and filmmaker.He was born in Los Angeles,California,and was raised in Medford,Oregon.His mother is from a Jewish family and his father is of Italian ancestry.Baldoni played soccer and ran track in high school,and was a radio disc jockey at a local top40radio station.While moving into a new apartment building,Baldoni met a manager who advised him to pursue a career in acting.In2008,Baldoni wrote,produced,and directed his first music video that was selected and showcased at the Dawn Breakers International Film Festival.In2012,Baldoni created the most-watched digital documentary series in history,My Last Days,a show about the living told by the dying.On the heels of that success Baldoni founded Wayfarer Entertainment,a digital media studio focused on disruptive inspiration.In2014,Baldoni started playing Rafael Solano in the CW show Jane the Virgin.In May2016he launched a video app for pregnant women and new moms called Belly Bump.In July2017,Baldoni developed a male talk show through his media company Wayfarer Entertainment.The show explores what it means to be a man today.In an interview,Baldoni described the reason he created the show.“Man Enough really came about because I wanted to take a dive into what it really means to be a man,and this question of‘do we have it right?’”In August2017,TED announced Baldoni would be a speaker at the annual TEDWomen Conference.HollywoodHollywood is an area in the central region of Los Angeles,California.This densely populated neighborhood is notable as the home of the U.S.film industry,including several of its historic studios,and its name has come to be a shorthand reference for the industry and the people associated with it.BullyingBullying is physical or verbal aggression that is repeated over a period of time and involves an imbalance of power.It includes harassment,name calling,gossiping,rumor spreading,threats, or other forms of intimidation.Bullying is usually thought of as taking place between children at school.However,it can also occur at work and include behaviors like verbal abuse,damaging the victim’s job or work relationship,or misusing authority.SenatorA senator is someone who is elected in the central legislative body of a state by voters of a region,and fulfills this governing mandate(执政权)for a number of years,according to the law.A senator takes part in meetings and congresses,debates over the creation or update of laws and regulations and votes for or against certain political measures or motions.Personal identityPersonal identity is the concept you develop about yourself that evolves over the course of your life.This may include aspects of your life that you have no control over,such as where you grew up or the color of your skin,as well as choices you make in life,such as how you spend your time and what you believe.Have you ever struggled with the question“Who am I?”or thought about who you might become in the future?These questions have been thought about and discussed throughout history,in particular by philosophers who have immersed themselves in the search for knowledge about the nature of being human.John LockeJohn Locke was among the most famous philosophers and political theorists of the17th century.He is often regarded as the founder of a school of thought known as British Empiricism (英国经验主义),and he made foundational contributions to modern theories of limited,liberal government.。

Self-treatment of Common Illnesses and Accidents

It is not always necessary to see a doctor. Many common aches and pains can be treated at home. Backache: Because of the complex nature of the spine, consult a doctor if you have the pain for more than a week. If the pain is from lifting heavy weights, be sensible and rest. Sit upright and support the spine. Take a painkiller like Paracetamol to relieve the pain. Sprains: Firstly, use a cold compress, containing ice if possible, for 15 to 30 minutes to reduce the swelling. Dress with a bandage firmly and rest until the swelling goes away. Further strain will lead to further swelling. Nosebleed: Sit in a chair (leaning forward with your mouth open) for 10 minutes. Avoid hot drinks or hot food and avoid blowing your nose hard for 24 hours. If symptoms continue, see a doctor. Burns: Put lots of cold water on the area as soon as possible until the pain goes away. This might take 15 minutes. If the skin is broken, consult your doctor. Stomach-ache: This is normally caused by indigestion or wind. If the pain lasts for longer than eight hours, see a doctor. In the case of indigestion, a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in half a glass of water will help. Colds: Go to bed and drink a lot of fluids. If you have a headache or slight fever, take a painkiller like Paracetamol. Do not take antibiotics—they won’t help.

以英国诗歌特点为题的英语作文

以英国诗歌特点为题的英语作文

以英国诗歌特点为题的英语作文British poetry is known for its rich history, diverse themes, and unique characteristics that set it apart from other forms of literature. From theromantic poetry of William Wordsworth and John Keats to the modernist works of T.S. Eliot and W.H. Auden, British poetry has evolved over the centuries, reflectingthe changing social, political, and cultural landscape of the nation. In this essay, we will explore the distinctive features of British poetry, examining its form, style, themes, and impact on the literary world.One of the defining characteristics of British poetry is its emphasis on tradition and heritage. Many British poets draw inspiration from the country'srich literary history, incorporating elements of folklore, mythology, andhistorical events into their work. For example, the Romantic poets oftencelebrated the natural beauty of the English countryside, while the Victorianpoets explored themes of morality, industrialization, and social change. This deep connection to the past gives British poetry a sense of continuity and cultural identity, allowing it to resonate with readers across generations.In addition to its traditional roots, British poetry is also known for its experimentation and innovation. Throughout history, poets have pushed the boundaries of form and style, challenging conventional rules and conventions. From the sonnets of Shakespeare to the free verse of modernist poets, British poetryhas continually evolved, adapting to the changing tastes and attitudes of society. This willingness to embrace new ideas and techniques has allowed British poetry to remain relevant and influential in the global literary landscape.Furthermore, British poetry often explores universal themes and emotions, making it relatable to readers from all walks of life. Love, loss, nature, and the human experience are common motifs found in British poetry, allowing readers to connect with the emotional depth and sincerity of the poets' words. Whether it's the passionate sonnets of Elizabeth Barrett Browning or the war poetry of WilfredOwen, British poets have a unique ability to capture the essence of human existence, evoking empathy and understanding in their readers.Moreover, British poetry has had a profound impact on the development of the English language and literature. Many iconic phrases and expressions have originated from British poetry, shaping the way we communicate and express ourselves. Poets such as William Shakespeare and John Milton have contributed significantly to the enrichment and expansion of the English language, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to inspire writers and language enthusiasts worldwide.In conclusion, British poetry is a diverse and influential form of literature that has left an indelible mark on the literary world. Its emphasis on tradition, innovation, universal themes, and language has allowed it to endure and thrive throughout the centuries. As we continue to navigate the complexities of the modern world, British poetry remains a source of inspiration, enlightenment, and cultural enrichment for readers everywhere.。

7年级下英语给tom回信作文

7年级下英语给tom回信作文

7年级下英语给tom回信作文Dear Tom,I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to respond to your inquiry about the historical background and development of the English language. This is a fascinating topic that encompasses a wide range of perspectives and opinions, and I am excited to delve into it with you.First and foremost, it is important to understand that the English language has a rich and diverse history that spans over a thousand years. Its roots can be traced back to the Germanic tribes that invaded Britain in the 5th century, bringing with them their language, which would eventually evolve into Old English. Over the centuries, English has been influenced by various other languages, including Latin, French, and Norse, due to factors such as invasions, trade, and cultural exchanges. This has led to the development of Middle English and, eventually, Modern English as we know it today.The historical development of the English language has been shaped by a myriad of factors, including political, social, and cultural influences. For example, the Norman Conquest of 1066 had a significant impact on the English language, as it introduced a large number of French words into the vocabulary. Similarly, the expansion of the British Empire in the 17th and 18th centuries led to the adoption of words from various other languages, as English became a global lingua franca.From a linguistic perspective, the development of the English language has been a subject of much debate and discussion. Some scholars argue that the influx of foreign words has enriched the language, making it more versatile and adaptable to different contexts. Others, however, contend that it has diluted the purity of the language, leading to a loss of its original identity. These differing perspectives highlight the complexity of the issue and the need for a nuanced understanding of the historical development of English.To illustrate the impact of historical development on the English language, we can look at specific case studies. For instance, the influence of Latin on English can be seen in the abundance of scientific and medical terms that have Latin roots. Similarly, the influence of French can be observed in the legal and culinary terminology used in English-speaking countries. These examples serve to demonstrate the tangible effects of historical development on the language we use every day.In evaluating the historical background and development of the English language, it is important to consider both its benefits and drawbacks. On the one hand, the richness and diversity of the English language can be attributed to its historical development, as it has absorbed words and expressions from a wide range of sources. This has made English a highly adaptable and expressive language, capable of conveying complex ideas and emotions. On the other hand, the historical development of English has also led to inconsistencies and irregularities in its grammar and spelling, making it a challenging language to master for non-native speakers.Looking ahead, it is essential to consider the future implications of the historical development of the English language. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, English is likely to continue evolving, absorbing new words and expressions from different cultures and languages. This presents bothopportunities and challenges, as it will be important to preserve the integrity of the language while also allowing it to adapt to the changing needs of global communication.In conclusion, the historical background and development of the English language is a complex and multifaceted topic that encompasses a wide range of perspectives and opinions. By understanding its rich and diverse history, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the language we use every day. As we look to the future, it is important to consider the implications of historical development on the English language and strive to maintain a balance between preserving its integrity and allowing it to evolve in response to global changes.I hope this response has provided you with a comprehensive understanding of the topic. If you have any further questions or would like to discuss this topic in more detail, please do not hesitate to reach out. I look forward to continuing this conversation with you.Warm regards,[Your Name]。

加拿大英语出处

加拿大英语出处

加拿大英语出处Canada, a land of vast landscapes and diverse cultures, is also home to a unique variety of English. Canadian English, often referred to as CanE, is a fascinating dialect that reflects the country's rich linguistic history and its multicultural identity. From its British roots to its distinct Canadianisms, CanE offers a captivating insight into the language landscape of this North American nation.One of the most striking features of Canadian English is its blend of British and American influences. Historically, Canada was colonized by both the British and the French, leading to a linguistic mosaic that incorporates elements from various sources. While Canadian English shares many similarities with American English, such as spelling conventions and vocabulary, it also retains certain British spellings and expressions. For example, words like "colour" and "centre" are spelled with a "u" in Canadian English, aligning more closely with British English than American English.In addition to its British and American influences, Canadian English has developed its own unique vocabulary and expressions, known as Canadianisms. These are words and phrases that are distinctively Canadian and may not be commonly used elsewhere. For instance, Canadians often refer to a knit cap as a "toque," use the term "double-double" to order a coffee with two creams and two sugars, and say "eh" at the end of sentences as a tag question, indicating agreement or seeking confirmation. These Canadianisms contribute to the colorful tapestry of Canadian English and reflect the country's cultural identity.Moreover, regional variations within Canadian English add another layer of complexity to the dialect. Canada's vast geographical expanse, spanning from the Atlantic to the Pacific, encompasses diverse landscapes and communities, each with its own linguistic quirks. For example, the English spoken in Newfoundland and Labrador may differ significantly from that spoken in British Columbia or Quebec. Regional accents, vocabulary preferences, and pronunciation patterns contribute to the rich tapestry of Canadian English, making it a dynamic and diverse dialect.Furthermore, Canadian English continues to evolve alongside changes in society and technology. Like all living languages, CanE adapts to new contexts and influences, incorporating words and expressions from pop culture, technology, and global trends. With the rise of social media and digital communication, new slang terms and abbreviations have emerged, shaping the language of today's Canadian youth. However, while Canadian English may evolve, it also retains a sense of tradition and heritage, preserving linguistic features that have endured through generations.In conclusion, Canadian English is a dynamic and multifaceted dialect that reflects Canada's complex history, cultural diversity, and ongoing evolution. From its British and American influences to its distinct Canadianisms and regional variations, CanE offers a fascinating glimpse into the linguistic landscape of this vast and vibrant country. As Canada continues to evolve and grow, so too will its unique variety of English, reflecting the changing dynamics of society and the enduring spirit of its people.。

He said that it would be possible to build a platform in the centre of theChannel. This platform would serve as a port and arailway station. The tunnel would be well-ventilated iftall chimneys were built above sea level. In 1860, a better plan was put forward by an Englishman, WilliamLow. He suggested that a double railway-tunnel shouldbe built. This would solve the problem of ventilation, forif a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh airbehind it. Forty-two years later a tunnel was actually begun. If, at the time, the British had not feared invasion, it would have been completed. The world had to wait almost another 100 years for the Channel Tunnel. It was officially opened on March 7,1994, finally connecting Britain to the European continent.参考译文1858年, 一位名叫埃梅·托梅·德·干蒙的法国工程师带着建造一条长21英里、穿越英吉利海峡的隧道计划到了英国. 他说, 可以在隧道中央建造一座平台, 这座平台将用作码头和火车站. 如果再建些伸出海面的高大的烟囱状通风管, 隧道就具备了良好的通风条件. 1860年, 一位名叫威廉·洛的英国人提出了一项更好的计划. 他提议建一条双轨隧道, 这样就解决了通风问题. 因为如果有一列火车开进隧道, 它就把新鲜空气随之抽进了隧道. 42年以后, 隧道实际已经开始建了. 如果不是因为那时英国人害怕入侵, 隧道早已建成了. 世界不得不再等将近100年才看到海峡隧道竣工. 它于1994年3月7日正式开通, 将英国与欧洲大陆连到了一起.【课文讲解】[00:13.9-00:27.1]In 1858, a French engineer, Aime Thome de Gamond, arrived in England with a plan for a twenty-one-mile tunnel under the English Channel.1858年, 一位名叫埃梅·托梅·德·干蒙的法国工程师带着建造一条长21英里、穿越英吉利海峡的隧道计划到了英国.plan for +名词/动名词……的计划twenty-one-mile 加连字符,用单数,作定语[00:27.1-00:33.2] He said that it would be possible to build a platform in the centre of the Channel.他说, 可以在隧道中央建造一座平台,[00:33.2-00:38.8]This platform would serve as a port and a railway station.这座平台将用作码头和火车站.serve as… =serve for… 起……作用,用作……,充当……It will serve as a swimming pool.This sofa can serve as/for (a) bed.[00:38.8-00:45.4]The tunnel would be well-ventilated if tall chimneys were built above sea level.如果再建些伸出海面的高大的烟囱状通风管, 隧道就具备了良好的通风条件.[00:45.4-00:53.1] In 1860, a better plan was put forward by an Englishman, William Low.1860年, 一位名叫威廉·洛的英国人提出了一项更好的计划.put forward (plan/suggestion) 提出(计划、建议等)You know they wouldn‟t accept your plan.

Their students are required to take the same state assessment tests as children in traditional public schools.3.What’s the biggest difference between virtual schools and traditional schools?Virtual school students learn at their own pace.4.How do cyber charter students interact with their teachers or supervisors?They can take classes online or get in-person instruction at learning centers to interact with their teachers or supervisors.5.How can virtual education work best?It can work best when a child’s learning coach takes an active role.ScriptCyber Charter Schools: Public School at Home?If the idea of cyber schools seems futuristic, consider this fact: around 200,000 American students attend school full-time online. Most of these kids are attending what’s known as cyber schools. These schools exist in 27 states and Washington, D.C., according to the most recent national report. Kids who learn through cyber charter schools need little more than a computer, an Internet connection and a residence in the same state as the school. And since these schools are public, the school usually provides the computer and helps pay for Internet access.“Essentially, it’s public schooling at home,” says Matt Arkin, head of Georgia Cyber Academy, which serves more than 4,000 kids statewide. “Our students are held to all public school standards.”Like traditional schools cyber charters serve children from kindergarten all the way through high school. They require the same core classes taught in public schools, like English, science and even physical education. Since virtual charter schools are public, their students are required to take the same state assessment tests as children in traditional public schools. Some classes take place at specific times, while others are self-paced so students can work them into their own schedules.The biggest difference between virtual and traditional schools is that cyber charter students learn at their own pace, since they’re not assigned to a classroom with a bunch of other kids. A fourth grader might take fourth-grade English classes and third grade math, for example. As in traditional schools, students can pick more of their own classes as they get older, choosing from subjects like epidemiology, British literature and graphic design.Arkins says students aren’t entirely on their own just because they don’t hop on a school bus every day. At PA Cyber, kids interact with their teachers and an instructional supervisor who is sort of like a guidance counselor. “We actually surround the students with as many one-to-one interactions as we can,” says Andy Petro, supervisor of virtual classroom technology for PA Cyber, which has more than 8,000 students across Pennsylvania. In addition, some virtual charters are developing programs where students can take classes online but also get in-person instruction at learning centers.Since cyber charters are public schools, they can’t turn kids away. That means they’re to serve all kinds of children. “We believe that every student can be successful in this program,” Arkin says. “But in some cases, it’s more of a challenge.”Virtual education isn’t going to work unless the student, parent or both is committed to making it work. Because virtual education is so individualized, it works best when a child’s learning coach takes an active role. “Learning coaches” can be children’s parents, grandparents or guardians. And the nature of virtual schools means students must be able to motivate themselves and work independently.2.Speaking Practice1.Give an oral presentation on the summary of the main points of the listening passage.ReferenceThe key points:-the cyber schools in America-the similarity and differences between cyber schools and traditional schools-how cyber school kids interact with their teachers and supervisors-virtual education and the nature of virtual schools2. Dis cuss and comment on the effectiveness of each other’s oral presentation.3. Work in pairs and take turns to ask and give answers about the following topics:a. What’s your attitude towards virtual education?b. How can cyber charter schools help solve some problems in current education?c. What are the disadvantages of virtual education?Text I1.Pre-Reading QuestionsThink over the following questions or discuss them in small groups before you read the text.1. What is meant by keep somebody under one’s thumb? If you don’t know, look up the phrase in a dictionary.2. What relationships does the phrase usually apply to? That between the officers and men in the armed forces? Between the teacher and the pupils in a school? Between the employer and the employees in a factory or on a farm? Which of these relationships might this text be about?3. What contradictions are there generally between the governing and the governed? Which of the three qualities do you expect of the governing: authority, laxity, a compromise between the two? Which of the three qualities do you expect of the governed: obedience, defiance, indifference?4. Is it right for anybody to keep somebody under his thumb? Would you like to be kept under somebody’s thumb?(These are all open questions.)2.General ReadingKey: An inexperienced teacher failed to deal with an unruly class of top year boys.3.BackgroundGeoffrey Chaucer (c. 1343 —1400), known as the Father of English literature, is widely considered the greatest English poet of the Middle Ages and was the first poet to have been buried in Poet’s Corner of Westminster Abbey.

TEXT A Notes
1. Puritans: The Puritans were a group of people who
grew discontent in the Church of England and worked towards religious, moral and societal reforms. They contended that the Church of England had become a product of political struggles and man-made doctrines. The Puritans believed that the Bible was God's true law, and that it provided a plan for living. The established church of the day described access to God as monastic and possible only within the confines of "church authority".
