英语作文a busy morning

英语作文a busy morningA Busy MorningIt was a typical weekday morning. The alarm clock blared its shrill cry, jolting me awake from a deep slumber. Groggily, I reached over to the bedside table and silenced the persistent beeping. As I slowly opened my eyes, I was greeted by the warm rays of the sun peeking through the curtains, a gentle reminder that the day had already begun.With a heavy sigh, I reluctantly peeled myself from the comfort of my bed and swung my legs over the side. The cool hardwood floor sent a shiver up my spine, but I knew I had to get moving if I wanted to stay on schedule. I quickly made my way to the bathroom, where I splashed some cool water on my face in an attempt to fully wake up.After a quick glance in the mirror, I began my morning routine. I brushed my teeth, took a quick shower, and then proceeded to the closet to select my outfit for the day. As I rifled through the hangers, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anxiety creeping in. I had a busy day ahead of me and I wanted to make sure I looked presentable and professional.Once I had settled on a suitable ensemble, I hurried downstairs to the kitchen. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee greeted me, and I gratefully poured myself a steaming cup. I took a sip, savoring the rich, bold flavor as I scanned the kitchen for something to eat. Settling on a quick breakfast of toast and fruit, I set to work, quickly assembling my meal.As I sat at the kitchen table, I couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. I knew I had a long list of tasks to tackle, and the clock was ticking. I quickly finished my breakfast, rinsed my dishes, and then rushed to gather my belongings for the day.I grabbed my briefcase, my laptop, and my car keys, double-checking to make sure I had everything I needed. With a final glance around the kitchen, I headed for the front door, pausing only to slip on my shoes and grab my jacket.As I stepped outside, I was greeted by the bustling sounds of the morning commute. Cars whizzed by, horns honking, and pedestrians hurried along the sidewalks, all of them seemingly in a rush to get to their destinations. I took a deep breath, trying to center myself and focus on the tasks ahead.I climbed into my car and started the engine, quickly checking thetime on the dashboard. I had just enough time to make it to my first meeting, but I knew I would have to drive with purpose to get there on time. I pulled out of the driveway and joined the flow of traffic, weaving my way through the congested streets.As I navigated the busy roads, I couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration. The traffic seemed to be moving at a crawl, and I found myself growing increasingly impatient. I tapped my fingers on the steering wheel, my eyes constantly scanning the road ahead for any sign of movement.Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I reached my destination. I quickly found a parking spot and hurried inside the building, my heart racing. I paused for a moment to catch my breath and straighten my clothes, then made my way to the conference room where my meeting was scheduled to take place.As I entered the room, I was greeted by a group of my colleagues, all of whom were already seated and ready to begin. I apologized for my tardiness, then took my seat and tried to focus on the agenda at hand. The meeting was intense, with a lot of discussion and debate, but I did my best to contribute and stay engaged.When the meeting finally came to an end, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. I gathered my belongings and headed out of theconference room, already mentally preparing for my next task. I had a lunch meeting scheduled with a client, and I knew I needed to be on my A-game.I hurried to my car, aware that I was already running a bit behind schedule. I quickly fired off a few emails on my phone, updating the client on my progress and letting them know I was on my way. As I pulled out of the parking lot, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anxiety creeping in. I hated being late, and I knew that this client was important to the success of my business.The drive to the restaurant was a blur, as I navigated the busy streets with a sense of urgency. When I finally arrived, I rushed inside, scanning the dining room for my client. I spotted them at a table in the corner and quickly made my way over, offering a warm greeting and a sincere apology for my tardiness.The lunch meeting went well, with the client seemingly satisfied with the progress I had made on their project. We discussed a few key details and made plans for our next steps, and by the time we parted ways, I felt a sense of relief wash over me.As I stepped back out into the afternoon sun, I took a deep breath and tried to ground myself. I had managed to get through the morning's chaos, and now I had a brief respite before my next set ofobligations. I decided to take a few moments to myself, grabbing a quick snack from a nearby cafe and finding a quiet spot to sit and gather my thoughts.As I sipped my coffee and nibbled on my pastry, I couldn't help but reflect on the morning's events. It had been a whirlwind, to be sure, but I felt a sense of accomplishment in having made it through. I had managed to stay on top of my schedule, even if it had required a bit of scrambling and a few frantic moments.With a renewed sense of energy, I set off to tackle the rest of my day.I had a few more meetings to attend, some emails to respond to, anda handful of other tasks to complete. But I felt confident that I could handle it all, thanks to the lessons I had learned from the morning's chaos.As the sun began to set and the day drew to a close, I finally found myself back home, kicking off my shoes and collapsing onto the couch. I let out a deep sigh, feeling the tension in my muscles begin to dissipate. It had been a long and demanding day, but I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in having navigated it so successfully.As I sat there, reflecting on the day's events, I couldn't help but marvel at the sheer pace of modern life. It seemed that every day was a race against the clock, with a never-ending list of tasks andobligations to attend to. But in the midst of all the chaos, I had managed to find a way to stay focused and productive, and that was something to be proud of.With a renewed sense of purpose, I set about preparing for the next day, knowing that another busy morning was just around the corner. But this time, I felt more prepared, more confident, and more ready to take on whatever challenges might come my way. After all, if I could handle a morning like this one, I could handle anything.。

To describe something according to the order of time is especially common with narrative writing. From the reading passage we can find that the presentation of details clearly follows the progress of time, as is apparent from the following words or sentences.The beginning sentence of the story tells us about the time: he radio clicked on. This is a very strong reminder of the time. From the passage we find that it was 6:15 A. M., time for getting up. After a couple of events, we find that after her shower, the conversation went on and something more happened. Then suddenly she looked at the clock again; it was late, still a strong indication of the time passion. And at last she ran to catch the school bus, which tells us that Sandy left for school. The time marker is expressed through the action of leaving.This text can be divided into four parts (Let the students read the passage for five minutes)Part One (Para.1~4)∙The talk between Sandy and her father.Part Two (Para.5~7) ∙Morning washing.Part Three ( Para.8-25) ∙The conversation between Sandy and her mother.Part Four (Para.26) ∙The uncomfortable feeling of Sandy.Step Five Sentence analysis1.Sandy sang along with words as she lay listening to her favorite radio station.(Line 2)桑迪躺在床上，听着她喜欢的电台广播，嘴里哼着歌词。

Unite2_A_Busy_Weekday_Morning

A Busy Weekday MorningThe radio clicked on. Rock music blasted forth. Like a shot, the music woke Sandy. She looked at the clock; it was 6:15 A.M. Sandy sang along with the words as she lay listening to her favorite radio station."Sandy," shouted her father. "Sandy, turn that music off!" Steve Finch burst into her room. "Why do you have to listen to such horrible stuff? It's the same thing over and over. I'm not sure it is really music though it does have rhythm. Hmmm. No, it isn't really music. It's weird. It is definitely horrible stuff.""I like that music, Dad; it's my favorite group — Green Waves. Listen for a minute; I'm sure you'll like it. It has a really powerful message. Didn't you ever listen to music like this when you were a youngster?" Sandy reached for the radio to turn it up louder."No, no, don't do that. I can't stand it. The music I listened to had a message, too, but the words were clear and the musicians didn't use such offensive language. Turn that radio down so your mother and I can't hear it. I'm sure that music is hurting your ears as well as your brain. Now, would you please hurry up and turn it off? Get ready for school or you'll be late!"Sandy walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. At first, the water felt cold. It helped her wake up. Then, as the water got hotter, she thought, "This shower feels great and in here I can be alone and sing. No one disturbs me in here." She grabbed the soap and washed thoroughly, including her hair. If she stayed in the shower too long, her mom or dad usually banged on the door to rush her so she grabbed a towel and dried off.After her shower, Sandy brushed her hair, put on her old, green T-shirt and some jeans and wrapped her sweater around her shoulders. Then she put on her makeup, grabbed her books and went to the kitchen.She looked at the clock again; it was late. As usual, she didn't know what to have for breakfast, so she grabbed a glass of milk and ate a piece of toast while standing by the sink. Just then, her mother, Jane, entered the kitchen."Sandy, why don't you sit down and eat your breakfast? It isn't healthy to eat standing up.""I know. Mom, but I'm already late for school. I don't have time to sit down and eat.""Did you finish your homework, dear?""Yes.""Do you have your instrument?""Uh-huh.""And your lunch?""Yah.""Did you brush your teeth?""Mom, I haven't finished eating breakfast yet. I'll brush my teeth when I'm done.""You should brush your teeth when you wake up and then brush them again after breakfast. Sandy, why are you wearing that old T-shirt? It's disgusting. I know you have some nice blouses in your closet.""Mom, please stop.""Stop what, dear?""Stop bugging me.""Sandy, are you wearing eye-liner?""Yes, Mom, I've been wearing eye-liner for months. Isn't it pretty? It's called French Lilac Blue. I just love it." Sandy pretended not to notice that her mother was a little annoyed."Sandy Finch, you're too young to wear that much makeup. Please go upstairs and wash it off." "Mom, I'm fifteen. I'm old enough to wear makeup. Believe me, all the girls at school wear makeup. Some have tattoos and pierced ears, and noses and tongues, too. Mom, I don't have time to talk about this now — I'm late. I've got to go. See you later." Sandy kissed her mother quickly on the cheek, picked up her books, and bolted out of the house.As she ran to catch the school bus, Sandy thought of her older brother Bill who was away at college. He phoned her often so they could talk and share their problems, but she hadn't heard from him for a while. She missed him. Since Bill had gone to college, her mother bugged Sandy much more than before, and she was arguing with her mother a lot more than usual, too. Words: 694。

Unit2ABusyWeekdayMorning

Unit 2 A Busy Weekday MorningI. Objectives of the unit1. read about the generation gap thru an early morning exchange between a daughter and her parents.2. learn some new vocabulary3. develop study skills4. write paragraphsPre-reading Activities:Some questions for students to reflect and answer:1.Have you ever had difficulty talking to your parents?It is as if they are blind to what is important in each other’s worlds. This puts them in separate worlds and creates the gap between the older and the younger generation.2. How can the older and the younger generation have real communication with and understand each other?You are about to read an early morning exchange between a daughter and her parents. You will find how they think about the same things very differently. You will also hear how they miss connecting with or understanding each other. It is as if they are blind to what is important in each other’s worlds. This puts them in separate worlds and creates the gap between the older and the younger generation.3. How can the older and the younger generation have real communication with and understand each other?The daughter may not like to be watched over by her parents at home. And she may consider that her parents are too wordy when they speak over and over the same thing to her. On the other hand, the parents may not be in favor of her daughter’s hair style and weird clothes of fashion. Besides, the daughter and the parents don’t like the music enjoyed by the other.It involves the efforts of both generations. On one hand, the younger should talk over their problems with their parents actively and frankly. They must learn to remove their stubbornness of the young. On the other hand, the older generation also needs to speak to the young at home at the first opportunity. And they should not take everything for granted just on the basis of their experience, but treat their children as equal adults to them. On the whole, the more often both generations see things in the other’s position, the more cha nces they stand to fill up the gap between them.To my mind, the ideal way of filling up the gap between your parents and you is to show enough respect for your parents when you exchange your feelings with them, and, meanwhile, to reason them into adjusting their fixed beliefs to more workable ideas on the topic concerned. To achieve this, however, you have a long way to cover. Anyway, cling to your struggle; I am sure you will find your home, full of both harmony and freedom, a place that your feet may leave but your heart will never.Background InformationGreen Waves is a fictional name for a musical group made up by the writer for use in this story.French Lilac Blue (法国蓝紫眼线笔) is a fictional name for eye-liner make-up made up bythe writer for use in this story.Text structure analysisMain idea of the text ?The story “A Busy Weekday Morning” was centered upon the conflicts between Sandy and her parents over her favorite music, dresses, make-up and other minor things.Developing devices:1.Narration through dialogue 叙述法2.sequence of time and space. 时空顺序法3.Narration through Dialogue (对话法)The author presents what Sandy did on a weekday morning through a time order, describing a series of actions according to a sequenced order. To describe something according to the order of time is especially common with narrative writing. From the reading passage we can find that the presentation of details clearly follows the progress of time, as is apparent from the words or sentences.The beginning sentence of the story tells us about the time: the radio clicked on. This is a very strong reminder of the time. From the passage we find that is was 6:15 A.M., time for getting up. After a couple of events, we find that after her shower, the conversation went on and something more happened. Then suddenly she looked at the clock again; it was late, still a strong indication of the time passing. And at last she ran to catch the school bus, which tells us that Sandy left for school. The time marker is expressed through the action of leaving.Part I (Para.1-4)Direct conflicts between Sandy and her father over her favorite music（Dialogue对话法）Part II (Para.5-7)Sandy took a shower and got ready to have her breakfast. (过渡段)Narration (叙事法) (in the order of time)Part III (Para. 8-25) Sandy and her mother were in disagreement over several minor things, such as eating, teeth-brushing, dressing, and makeup.Dialogue (对话法)The way of eating (Para. 8 - 9)Minor things (Para. 10 - 21)Makeup (Para. 23 - 24)Part IV (Para.26)As she hurried to the school bus, Sandy missed her brother at college, with whom she often shared her feelings.
