适当地间隔疏离现实生活为题作文高三

适当地间隔疏离现实生活为题作文高三全文共中文示例5篇,英语示例5篇,供读者参考篇1Appropriately Distancing from Real LifeHi everyone! My name is Timmy and I'm in 5th grade. Today I want to talk to you about something very important - taking breaks from real life. You might be thinking "But Timmy, we can't actually leave real life! That's where we live and go to school and eat pizza!" And you're right, we can't fully escape reality. But we can take little breaks and mental vacations that make us feel happier and recharged.The grown-ups call this "distancing from reality in a healthy way." They say it's important, especially when life gets super stressful or overwhelming. Like when you have a big test coming up, or your parents are fighting, or your best friend is mad at you for some reason. During times like that, your brain feels like a shook-up soda bottle ready to explode! That's when you need to find ways to mentally escape for a little bit.One of my favorite ways is through books. Opening a book is like opening a door to another world where none of your real-life problems exist. You get to go on amazing adventures, meet brave heroes, and use your imagination in the best way. My favorites are the Harry Potter series - I've read those books so many times, they're like old friends! When I'm really stressed, I can reread a favorite chapter and it's like getting a big hug from the words on the page.Video games are another great way to distance yourself. Instead of worrying about your math test or your silly fight with your friend, you get to be a superhero or an explorer or a warrior! You have a whole new set of challenges that are way more fun than real life. My current game is Breath of the Wild and I love running around the open world, climbing mountains and battling monsters. For those few hours, my brain is 100% focused on the game instead of my worries.Sometimes I also like to just daydream and get lost in my imagination. I'll close my eyes and pretend I'm somewhere totally different - maybe a lush jungle, or a busy city, or even on an alien planet! I make up adventures in my head and pretendI'm the main character. It's like zoning out in the best way. Myparents have to snap me out of it sometimes because I get so lost in my imaginary world.Of course, you can't stay distanced from reality forever. That's when it becomes unhealthy. You still have to go to school, do your homework, spend time with family, and deal with whatever is actually happening in your life. But taking little breaks along the way is super important for your mental health. It's like hitting the refresh button on your brain.The hard parts of life - stress, sadness, anxiety - those are all unavoidable. But you get to choose how much head space you give them. By temporarily transporting yourself to lands of fiction, fantasy and adventure, you can give your mind a rest. Then you'll be recharged and ready to tackle your real-world challenges again.So don't feel bad about zoning out with a book, watching your favorite movie for the millionth time, or getting lost in an open-world video game! As long as you eventually return to reality, those little vacations from real life are actually really good for you. Your brain needs breaks just as much as your body. Distancing yourself once in a while is just another important way to stay happy and healthy.So that's my 5th grade philosophy for you! Make sure to use your imagination as much as possible. Your mind is an amazing thing - why not explore alternate realities with the power of books, games, movies and daydreams? Those little breaks will help you appreciate the real world even more when you return to it. Thanks for reading, gotta go fight Ganondorf now! See you in reality...or maybe I'll see you in Hyrule!篇2亲爱的朋友们,大家好!今天我要给大家写一篇作文,题目是"适当地疏离现实生活"。

全新版大学英语综合教程2学生用书课后习题答案全新版大学英语第二版综合教程2答案Unit1 Ways of LearningContent Question1. They were studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools in Nanjing.2. Their 18-month-old son Benjamin was fond of trying to place the key into the slot of the key box during their stay at the Jinling Hotel.3. They would come over to watch Benjamin and then try to teach him how to do it properly.4. Because he realized that this anecdote was directly relevant to their assigned tasks in China: to investigate early childhood education and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity.5. Most of them displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel.6. He emphasized that the most important thing is to teach the child that on can solve a problem effectively by oneself.7. He means that this incident pointed to important differences in educational and artistic practices between China and the USA.8. The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need to teach the child by guiding his hand in the characteristic of a broader attitude to education, one that stands in contrast to the Western preference for leaving the child to explore and learn unaided.9. One example is of children at the age of 5 or 6 painting flowers, fish and animals skillfully and confidently; in a secondexample, calligraphers 9 and 10 years old were producing works; and in a third,young artists work on perfecting their craft for several hoursa day.10. Americans think that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge, and skills can be picked up later. Chinese think that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired, and there is no hurry to promote creativity.11. This is mainly due to the difference in their way of thinking.12. The author makes the suggestion that we should strike a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills.Text OrganizationWorking On Your Own1.1) The text begins with an anecdote.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in the form ofa question.2. Chinese1) Show a child how to do something, or tech by holding the hand2) Give greater priority to developing skills at an early age, believing that creativity can be promoted over timeAmericans1) Teach children that they should rely on themselves for solutions to problems2) Put more emphasis on fostering creativity in young children, thinking skills can be picked up laterUnit2 ValuesContent Question1. The Salvation Army is a religious charitableorganization. A Salvation Army bell ringer is a volunteer who help it collect donations.2. The boy asked him: Are you poor? He did it simply out of confusion and curiosity. Obviously he knew nothing about the Salvation Army bell ringer.3. He said, “I have more than some people, but not as mu ch as others.” This means that he was neither poor nor rich.4. The boy’s mother scolded h im because the question was social inappropriate, especially to a person who looked poor.5. Yes, economically he is poor. He lives in a small basemen t apartment. He doesn’t even have a color TV. He falls into the lowest income category. And so on.6. No, the writer does not feel poor. This is because he has enjoyed good health and creativity which he thinks are much more important than material goods.7. He feels out of place among people who are primarily interested in material things.8. She told him th at she was interested in what’s on the inside. but after he took her to his poorly furnished apartment, she changed her mind completely.9. It only shows that to her the most important thing was still material goods rather than what she had claimed before.10. Commercial can put people under pressure to purchase more than is really necessary.11. Because December is the time for to work for the Salvation Army as a bell ringer, which gives him a genuine sense of belonging and brings him happiness in helping others.12. The boy’s question has helped the writer realize that, despite his lack of expensive possessions, he is rich in many other ways and shouldbe thankful for that.Text OrganizationWorking On Your Own1.1) a.√2) the essay is meant to explain something that is, the author’s view of life.3) That one can live a life full of riches without being rich financially.2.Part One: The writer’s encounter with a boy who raised the question “are you poor?”Part Two: In search of an answer the writer finds that not having expensive possessions doesn’t make him feel poor mainly because he enjoys life in many other ways.Part Three: In conclusion, the writer thinks he’s grown to understand more about himself because of the boy’s question.Unit3 The Generation GapContent Question1. There are seven characters---Father, Mother, Heidi, Diane, Sean, Restaurant Manager, and Mrs. Higgins.2. No. Because what he does usually ends up embarrassing them.3. To buy a guitar.4.

He wanted Dan to pressure his son into asking Diane to the senior prom.8. He would speak to his son and insist that the latter give Diane a call.9. She felt humiliated.10. Because the Thompson had just moved.11. He tried to let her know how exceptionally talented a young woman Heidi was.12. Because she couldn’t bear being embarrassed by her father. Text OrganizationWorking On Your Own1.1. A fast-food restaurant2. The Thompson family dining room3. An office at a high school2.Scene One: Father embarrassed Sean by talking too proudly to the restaurant manager.Scene Two: Father embarrassed Diane by persuading a colleague into pressing his son to ask her to the senior prom.Scene Three: Father embarrassed Heidi by boating to an official at her new school about how talented she was.Unit4 The Virtual WorldContent Question1.

That people who grew used to a virtual life would feel an aversion to outside forms of socializing.6. She gets overexcited, speaks too much, and interrupts others.7. She is bad-tempered, easily angered, and attacks everyone in sight, all because she has long become separated from others and lacks emotional face-to-face exchanges with people.8. She fights her boyfriend, misinterpreting his intentions because of the lack of emotional cues given by their typed dialogue.9. Because we rely on co-works for company.10. She calls people, arrangers to meet the few friends remaining in the City, gets to the gym, arranges interviews for stories, doctor’s appointments---anything to get her out of the house and connected with others.11. No, she doesn’t feel happy. She feels being face to face is intolerable.12. She makes her excuses and flees, re-enters her apartment, runs to the computer, clicks on the modem, and disappears into the virtual world again.Text OrganizationWorking On Your Own1.1. 2-32. 1,4-10,133. 114. 122.The first paragraph describes the consequences of living a virtual life and the last tells of the author’s escape back into it.

His childhood dream was to fly. His mother read him numerous stories about flying when he was growing up.4. Because he believed in hard work and sweat. His motto: If you want something, work for it!5. Michael's mother wished he could relax a bit more and be that "free dreaming" little boy.

He began a very careful training program.7. He seemed unaware of the fact that he had just beaten his personal best by three inches. He was very calm.8. He began to feel nervous when the bar was set at nine inches higher than his personal best.9. What his mother had taught him about how to deal with tension or anxiety helped him overcome his nervousness.10. The singing of some distant birds in flight made him associate his final jump with his childhood dream.11. He cou ld imagine the smile on his mother’s face. He thoughthis father was probably smiling too, even laughing. However, in fact, his father hugged his wife and cried like a baby in her arms.12.

Back to Real Life

Back to Real Life

Back to Real LifeAs more and more people date online, the pros and cons of online dating have been put on the agenda. Some applaud for its convenience and connecting people while others retort that it’s all about cheating and only designed for losers. Nevertheless, I object strongly to dating on line and eagerly call on the real-life dating.In real-life dating, two people meet mainly through work or mutual friends and thus they have opportunities to get to know each other. Then they’ll date if they fall in love. However, when it comes to online dating, people know each other on line. After they feel attracted, they meet and date.From the way they know each other, we get the first difference between online dating and real-life dating, which is trust.For the one we date in real life, we basically have some real knowledge of his appearance or characters or background, because we work together or we have some mutual friends, which is how we know each other. While dating on line is not the case. Two people just meet on line, therefore you even can’t tell his personal information is true or not, let alone his characters or background. Comparing it with real-life dating, we would surely trust the real partner a lot more.What comes next is safety, which is closely related to trust actually. For real-life dating, you meet him in real life, you know him in real life andyou date him in real life. Then of course you feel safe to date him. While as for online dating, you meet him on line and also know him on line. That is to say, there’s no slight guarantee at all for your safety when you date such a person.Last but not the least, it’s the compatibility. In real life, we meet someone and know him in work or by mutual friends. Then we probably hang out with each other or go to some parties together, where we’re getting along with each other. Thus, compability is gained before a date, and we fall in love and then we date. That is how real-life dating takes place. But in the situation of online dating, we just chat online. We have no idea at all whether we two can get along well with each other, which would probably lead to a divorce.To sum up, I believe real-life dating should lead the trend for it’s on the foundation of trust and safety, and more importantly it makes sure that two people are compatible when they meet and date, which is the vital part of a happy couple. Hence, I hope people love real-life dating and meet and date people in real life instead of going with the flow of online dating.。

I suggested she initiate contact by saying hello or commenting on others' walls. I made a big mistake in this suggestion: I assumed she knew how to properly break the ice with others.

After living in the 24-hour city of Las Vegas, Nevada for nearly ten years, my family and I decided to slow things down. My daughter wanted a horse. My husband wanted property. My son wanted a dirt bike. I wanted our family to be more self-sufficient.None of us felt that this could be accomplished where we were living and we all agreed that a move to the country would be great for everyone.Before long we set about looking for a home in Yucca, Arizona, a very small town of less than 1,000 people. It was while I was scanning listings from our real estate agent that I first learned of it. There was a home for sale there on 40 acres. When I called to inquire about the property, I was informed that there was no electricity available in the area. What? No electricity? I almost dismissed the idea immediately.The property was off the grid. It was not connected whatsoever to any utilities — power, water orsewer. Power was supplied by a wind turbine and solar panels. Water had to be hauled in and stored in two tanks located on the property. Forty acres would give us plenty of room for all of our animals and give my husband and son space to ride their ATVs. Besides, what better way is there to become more self-sustainable? After giving it some thought, we decided to put in an offer and moved in on Thanksgiving Day.When we first moved to the property, we did some remodeling and stayed in our motor home. We were confronted with real challenges at the time. The power kept going out, the main water line to the house broke, the plumbing backed up into the front yard and the generator died.But the setbacks just made us work harder. We slowly got things fixed and moved into the house after 38 days in the RV. The next challenge was to become familiar with your power system, and to learn the ins and outs of hauling your own water and generating your own power.Our off-the-grid system consists of eight solar panels (1,000 watts) that are mounted on a sun tracker rack. We also have a wind turbine that generates 3,000 watts in 24 mph winds. The energy generated by the wind and sun is stored in 16 6v golf cart batteries. We also have two 2,500-gallon above-ground water tanks and a 250-gallon propane tank. Every weekend, we haul two 275-gallon water tanks to the nearby town of Yucca and fill them with water, which we then pump into our big water tanks.While living here for the past four months has been a big adjustment, there are many benefits to living off the grid. I think one of the greatest is teaching my kids the importance of conservation. They used to take water, power and gas for granted. The first week we were here, we used almost 1,000 gallons of water. With only a5,000-gallon water tank, it didn’t take them long to understand that we had to use l ess water. We started taking quicker showers, doing only full loads of laundry, turning off the water while brushing our teeth or shaving.Over-consumption is even more clearly demonstrated by our electricity usage. We have a digital readout of how many volts of DC power we have stored in our batteries at any given time. If you turn on a light or the TV, the number goes down. In order to protect the batteries, the system is set up to shut the inverter off if the volts get too low. Then the power goes out. When we first moved in, we lost power almost daily. After this happens a few times, it becomes clear very quickly just how often you waste electricity. Everything from lights and ceiling fans to computers and radios were left on when they were not in use. The cell phone chargers were plugged in even when they weren’t charging anything. All of this uses unnecessary power. We are steadily learning to be more diligent with our power usage.In addition, we are also trying to make other changes. They include reducing the amount of trash we generate by recycling and composting, growing our own organic vegetables, and reusing and repurposing things that we would normally toss. We also want to produce our own eggs and goat’s milk in the near future.Overall, going off the grid has been great for our family. We have learned how to conserve power and water and to really appreciate what the earth gives to us every day. I hope that once my kids move out of the house, they will keep the habits that they have learned by living off the grid.I received an email from a reader who asked, “Why do some friendships end, no matter how much you want them to last?” She referred to having seen the question in one of my articles, Mystery of Friendship. As I wrote in it, I don’t think easy answers exist as to how friendships start, why some turn into lifetime ones, and why some end. Although I’ve tried answering the first two questions in other articles (To Have A Friend and Be A Friend), I still get surprised by friendships that endure and disillusioned by ones that slip away. Even so, I’ll try to offer some insights here as to why friendships end.My simple answer is that friendships end because the situations friends are in or even the friends themselves change. Others have similar answers. First, the situations friends face may change. The decision to relocate for a new school or job cannot help but affect a friendship. Likewise, if a friend is in an accident, develops an illness, or loses someone close, these situations cannot help but affect a friendship. Does a friendship need to end because of these changes? No, but it’ll require adjustments that one or both friends might not be willing to make. Second, the friends themselves may change. A significant reason that friendships often end when friendsare apart for an extended period of time (for summer camp, college, etc.) is that one or both of the friends change. I think it hurts less when both friends change, because then the breakup is more often mutual and so both friends get closure by both deciding to let go and move forward in their lives without eachother. What tends to hurt most is when just one friend changes. One friend might change social circles, become involved in new social organizations, start to date, get a pet, or take on someother venture that consumes more time and passion. Again, a friendship can endure these changes, unless one or both of the friends for some reason decide not to invest the time and energy involved in the adjustment period. (For example, one friend might forget the importance of the friendship due to the high of having a new pet or might feel that the change is impossible to overcome when one gets married but the other is still single.) In this situation, breakups may not be mutual and so one or both friends feel betrayed and end up with bitter memories about what was a precious friendship to them.There are other reasons why friendships end. For example, as much as two people might want a friendshipto survive, one or both of them might unintentionally neglect it. Friendship is often compared to a flower garden. Well, if flowers don’t get exposed regularly enough to sunlight and don’t get watered enough, flowers will wither and even die. The same applies to friendship. If week after week passes where plans are made to spend time together but are never honored, perhaps due to taking a friendship for granted, eventually even the closest of friendships may cease to have a reason to exist.Conflicts can also cause the end of friendships. If the flower is a fledgling plant, one blow might destroy it just as sometimes relatively young friendships aren’t strong enough to endure much conflict. Even those amazing close friendships, where friends love us no matter what our faults are, need care when it comes to conflicts. Sure, if a flourishing flower gets stepped on, it might revive on its own. Moreover, if it gets a little extra special care, it’ll probably bounce back as if it hadn’t ever been injured. At the same time, if a flower gets repeatedly trampled on, it’ll probably eventually break. Especially the friendships that have been around for a long time can endure storms, and even become stronger for them, but most friendships have breaking points.Nevertheless, while we can rarely predict at the outset which ones will last, most friendships do enrich us for however short or long they’re a part of our lives.In the sleepiness at the end of a library nap, I wasn’t sure where I was. I stretched out my arm to reach for a human being, but what I grabbed was a used copy of The Odyssey, the book about going home. My heart ached.It was 2 a.m. The library, flooded with white fluorescent light and smelling of musty books and sweaty sneakers, was eerily quiet. My readings seemed endless. I had been admitted into a three-course, yearlong freshman program called Directed Studies, dubbed Directed Suicide by Yalies. It was supposed to introduce us to “the splendors of Western civilization,” in the words of the catalog, by force-feeding the canons of philosophy, literature and history.I wanted very much to study the Western canon, because I knew nothing about it. Yes, McDonald’s ads and Madonna posters were plastered on Shanghai streets, but few Western ideas filtered through. We had been informed of Karl Marx’s habit of sitting at the same spot in the British Library, for instance, but had read none of his original words. Western civilization was different, mysterious and thus alluring. Besides, because I longed to be accepted here, I yearned to understand American society. What better way to comprehend it than to study the very ideas on which it is based?But at 2 a.m., I was tired of them all: Homer, Virgil, Herodotus and Plato. Their words were dull and the presentations difficult to follow. The professors here do not teach in the same way that teachers in Chinado. Studying humanities in China means memorizing all the “correct,” standard interpretations given during lectures. Here, professors ask provocative questions and let the students argue, research and write papers on their own. At Yale, I often waited for the end-of-class “correct” answers, which never came.Learning humanities was secure repetition in China, but it was shaky originality here. And it could be even shakier for me. The name Agamemnon was impossibly long to pronounce, and as a result I didn’t recognize it when we were discussing him in the seminars. I had written my first English essay ever just a year earlier, when applying to colleges, and now came the papers analyzing the canons. And I simply didn’t write in English fast enough to take notes in classes.I hoped my diligence would make up for lack of preparation. On weekend nights, when my American roommates were out on dates, I would tell them I had planned a date with Dante or Aristotle. (They didn’t think it was funny.)On one of those weekend nights, I wrote a paper on Aeneas, the protagonist of The Aeneid, who was destined to found Rome but reluctant to leave behind his native Troy. “Aeneas agonizes,” Iwrote. “He hesitates. Natural instincts call him to stick to the past, while at the same time, he feels obligatedto obey his father’s instructions for the future. His present life is split, pulled apart by the bygone days and by the days to come. ” I saw myself in what I wrote.During calls home every two weeks, my mother pleaded with me to take chemistry or biology. Science was the same everywhere, she said. And I, like everybody else from China, was well prepared in math, physics and chemistry. (To graduate from a standard six-year Chinese high school, one needs to take five years of physics, four years of chemistry and three years of biology.)Instead, I visited the writing tutor — there is one in every undergraduate residential hall — for every paper I turned in. My papers were always written days before they were due. I lingered after classes to question professors. My classmates lent me their notes so I could learn the skill of note-taking in English.By the time I missed home so much that soup dumplings and sautéed eels popped up in my head as I read, Nietzsche had replaced Plato on the chronological reading list and Flaubert Homer. And every paper of mine came back with an A.脱离电网的生活:一家城市居民如何发现了简单生活艾莉森·佐谢尔1.在内华达州的不眠之城拉斯维加斯生活了将近十年之后,我和我的家人决定放慢生活节奏。

Translate the following into Chinese:1 In real life I am a large, big-boned woman with rough, man-working hands. In the winter I wear flannel nightgowns to bed and overalls during the day. I can kill and clean a hog as mercilessly as a man. My fat keeps me hot in zero weather. I can work outside all day,breaking ice to get water for washing; I can eat pork liver cooked over the open fire minutes after it comes steaming from the hog. One winter I knocked a bull calf straight in the brain between the eyes with a sledge hammer and had the meat hung up to chill before nightfall. But of course all this does hot show on television. I am the way my daughter would want me to be: a hundred pounds lighter, my skin like an uncooked barley pancake. My hair glistens in the hot bright lights. Johnny Carson has much to do to keep up with my quick and witty tongue.2 But that is a mistake. I know even before I wake ever knew a Johnson with a quick tongue Who can even imagine me looking a strange white man in the eye It seems to me I have talked to them always with one foot raised in flight, with my head turned in whichever way is farthest from them. Dee, though. She would always look anyone in the eye, Hesitation was no part of her nature.3 I used to think she hated Maggie, too. But that was be-fore we raised the money, the church and me, to send her to Augusta to school. She used to read to us without pity; forcing words, lies, other folks’ habits, whole lives upon us two, sitting trapped and ignorant underneath her voice. She washed us in a river of make-believe, burned us with a lot of knowledge we didn’t necessarily need to know. Pressed us to her with the serious way she read, to shove us away at just the moment, like dimwits, we seemed about to understand.4 I never had an education myself. After second grade the school was closed down. Don’t ask me why: in 1927 colored asked fewer questions than they do now. Sometimes Maggie reads to me. She stumbles along good-naturedly but can’t see well. She knows she is not bright. Like good looks and money, quickness passed her by. She will marry John Thomas who has mossy teeth in an earnest face and then I’ll be free to sit here and I guess just sing church songs to myself. Although I never was a good singer. Never could carry a tune. I was always better at a man’s job. I used to love to milk till I was hooked in the side in ‘49.

Topic for oral work: Compare the three women in the story.XIV. Write a short composition on: My Family习题全解I .1In real life the mother was a large, big-boned woman with rough, man-working hands.2Dee like her mother to have a slender figure and a fair skin, glistening hair and a quick and witty tongue.3When she meets a strange white man, she always avoids looking him in the eye and is ready to go away.4Maggie is an innocent, timid and kind-hearted girl.5 Because they were more seriously looked down upon by white men at that time, and they were not as awaken as they are today.6Because Dee doesn’t like her friends to see the poor state her family is in, which she thinks is shameful. This tells us that Dee is somewhat a snob. Another instance to prove this is that she wants nice things.7Because it was old and stitched by hand instead of by machine. So that she could use them for decoration showing to the people she was associated with.8Maggie wanted the quilt because she could remember her grandma better, who taught her to do needle work.9Because she wanted to get some valuable heritages of the family, mainly out of her vanity.10At first the mother liked Dee because of her beauty, taste, and education. But with the development of the story, her love was transferred to a dislike because of Dee’s egotism, which wasobviously revealed when she insisted on taking the quilts while her sister Maggie gave up keeping it willingly to satisfy her desire.11It’s implied that the story is written in honor of t he grandma mentioned in it and that the ordinary old thing may be something precious for the young.Ⅱ.1She thinks that her sister has a firm control of her life.2She could always have anything she wanted, and life was extremely generous to her.3The popular TV talk show star, Johnny Carson, who is famous for his witty and glib tongue, has to try hard if he wants to catch up with me.4It seems to me that I have talked to them always ready to leave as quickly as possible.5She imposed on us lots of falsity.6imposed on us a lot of knowledge that is totally useless to us 7She is not bright just as she is neither good-looking rich.8Dee wore a very long dress even on such a hot day.9You can see me trying to move my body a couple of seconds before I finally manage to push myself up.10Soon he knows that won’t do for Maggie, so he stops trying to shake hands with Maggie.11As I see Dee is getting tired of this, I don’t want to go on either. In fact, I could have traced it far back before the Civil War along the branches of the family tree.12Now and then he and Dee communicated through eye contact in a secretive way.13If Maggie put the old quilts on the bed, they would be in rags less than five years.14She knew this was God’s arr angement.Ⅲ.

XlII. Omitted.XlV.My FamilyOurs is a big family. My father is a worker who lives in a lo-cal city. Both my oldest uncle and second uncle set up house-keeping in the countryside. My youngest uncle is a teacher and lives far from us. Great changes have taken place in my family since the beginning of the reform and opening policy. In the late 1970s, our big family had a get-together and discussed the problem of my grandma’s residence. Those were hard times. No one took the initiative to live with her. Each family had a skeleton in the cupboard. Oldest uncle had room only e-n0ugh to shelter them from the wind and rain. He had to tighten his belt to keep the family pot boiling. Second uncle had nothing but four bare walls to face and led a dog’s life. Youngest uncle was said to be living in a dormito ry and couldn’t even afford a trip back. My father lived in a bungalow which was a doll’s house thing and had to eke out our livelihood. But it was better anyway. My grandma lived on with us.Such was my family at that time. Each family of the big ex-tended family was in financial straits.In the early 1990s, my big clan held another family meeting and still my grandma’s residence was discussed. But great changes had occurred. Each smaller family was “fighting” for the chance to live with grandma. The meeting began in a merry atmosphere. My father started, “The government has established a system of floor wages and ceiling working hours. We have a steady income and regular leisure time. Besides, we have a well-furnitured apartment. “ Oldest uncle hasten ed, “The state has legalized us to be engaged in household sideline production, so I have set up a small but rather profitable poultry farm. Moreover, there is more spacious room. “ Second uncle would’t fall behind, “I have contracted to run a large stretc h of land and engage many farm hands. I profit a lot from it. I have more leisure time. “ Eventually, as regards the peace in the country-side, my grandma moved to second uncle, youngest uncle took a flight back and told us he had just bought a flat.That was my family about 10 years later. Each smaller family lived in abundance. Now, oldest uncle is manager of a large-scale poultry farm and second uncle’s farm has been mechanized.To sum up, the spring wind of the reform and opening policy has led to great changes and my family is well on the way to prosperity.。

对英语课程的建议和计划

对英语课程的建议和计划English:In order to improve the English course, I would suggest incorporating more interactive activities and real-life scenarios into the curriculum. This could include role-playing exercises, group discussions, and language games that require students to apply their knowledge in practical situations. Additionally, it would be beneficial to include more cultural content and authentic materials such as videos, articles, and podcasts to expose students to various aspects of the English-speaking world. Another important aspect to consider is providing individualized feedback and support to students to help them address their specific weaknesses and areas for improvement. Furthermore, incorporating technology into the curriculum, such as online resources and language learning apps, can enhance students' engagement and provide them with additional tools to practice and improve their English skills outside of the classroom.中文翻译:为了改进英语课程,我建议将更多互动活动和真实情境纳入到课程中。
