适合女生阅读的英语书籍
适合女生阅读的英语书籍女孩子相较于男孩子来说学习英语是有优势的。
下面是小编收集的适合女生阅读的英语书籍，强烈推介给大家。
1、Flipped 砰然心动著名的小清新电影和小清新书籍，是青梅竹马+一见钟情的故事，写的很简单，高中毕业大致能看懂吧。
2、Bridge to Terabithia 仙境之桥严格来说这不是个爱情小说，而是关于友情和童年，这种感觉超级好，而且小说写的很棒，细致入心，电影也拍的很不错，看完之后一向冷血的我也感觉双眼湿漉漉的。
这本书获得了New Berry的大奖，准确来说是一本童书，但是因为写的特别棒，能击中成人心中最柔软的那一点，所以特别推荐。
3、Paper Towns纸镇这本书更适合青春期女孩子看，主要是讲初恋和少年时代的爱情，John Green的作品改编，他可能是目前美帝最能吸金的作家了，号称美国的四娘(纯以风格和商业价值论，非贬义)，以文笔简单细腻著称，难度的确不大，可以试试。
4、Dear John 分手信注意书名取名叫Dear John不仅是因为主人公名字就叫John，而是在美国口语里，Dear John Letter就是分手信的意思，如果我没记错的话，应该因为是二战时期大批的好小伙上战场一去就是好几年，后方的女友遍会写信，因为那时候男性名字大多数为John，所以信件开头都是以Dear John开头，长此以往这个短语就成了分手信的意思。
我最早看到这个短语是在著名美剧《兄弟连》里面，那个倒霉催的打了完整一次二战连一颗子弹都没发射的少校，接到了Dear John Letter，接到时候当时就一边愤怒的咆哮一边把德国人的店整个给砸了，然后大喊为什么，我赢了战争却输了爱情。
但这本书里面，主要讲的还是父子亲情，还是相当感人的，主人公的执拗跟我本人性格很像，和父亲之间的冲突以及过往经历，也是每个男孩子可能都会有的，推荐一读。
5、Message in a Bottle 瓶中信虽然漂流瓶这种东西听着很QQ空间范儿，很有微信月抛范儿，但是这本书和电影绝对不非主流，超级浪漫，甚至有那么一点传奇的色彩。
新世纪大学英语4(第二版)综合教程第4册Unit5 答案2
Electronic Teaching PortfolioBook FourUnit Five: LifestylesPart I Get StartedSection A Discussion▇Work in pairs or groups and discuss the following questions.1.What kind of lifestyle do you live now?2.Do you believe in the saying “a penny saved is a penny earned”?3.What are some of the things that come to your mind when we talk about healthy lifestyles?Make a list of healthy lifestyles and share your answers with your group members.▇Answers for reference:1. A sample answer:2.As a university student, I live a simple and plain life. I get up early in the morning and thenattend classes. In the late afternoon I play basketball or football. If I do not have classes during the day, I usually go to the library to do some reading or go to the computer center to search for some information related to my studies. In the evening I review or preview my lessons either in the classroom or in the dormitory. During weekends I sometimes go shopping or go to a movie with my classmates.3. A possible answer:4.Yes. This saying tells us that saving money is as good as earning it. Saving is not only a goodhabit but also an important step on the way to financial well-being, both in the short term and in the long run. In the short term, it gives us an emergency cushion in the event that an unforeseen, large and urgent expense arises. In the long term, a consistent pattern of saving can enable us to accomplish our financial goals, such as financing a college education, a home purchase, or a retirement. So we should be thrifty and don’t spend money on things we don’t really need.5. A sample answer:Section B Quotes▇Study the following quotes about lifestyles and discuss in pairs what you can learn from them.Jack Kerouac⊙Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.— Jack KerouacInterpretation:Trends and fads come and go quickly, and popular opinions of the day may not represent ever-lasting truth. Those who wish to accomplish something extraordinary must not be slavish to trends and fads or popular beliefs. Instead, they should break away from the “following the herd”mentality and be extraordinarily innovative.About Jack Kerouac (1922-1969): a US writer who was a leading figure of the1950s Beat Generation. His most famous novel is On the Road (《在路上》), which describes the adventures of two friends as they travel across the United States.Margaret Mead⊙We are living beyond our means. As a people we have developed a lifestyle that is draining the earth of its priceless and irreplaceable resources without regard for the future of our children and people all around the world.— Margaret MeadInterpretation:In this quote, Margaret Mead rightly points out that the American way of life has given rise to a wasteful society and that it is doing a lot of harm to the earth and hence to mankind as a whole. If we do not make changes in our lifestyles today, our children are doomed to suffer from lack of irreplaceable resources in the future.About Margaret Mead (1901-1978): a US anthropologist, who studied the ways in which parentson the islands of Samoa, Bali, and New Guineas taught their children. She also tried to discover whether males and females are born with the differences in behaviour that they show, or whether they lean to behave differently as they grow up in a particular society.Charlie Chaplin⊙The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.— Charlie ChaplinInterpretation:In this quote, Chaplin points out the danger of seeking luxuries. Luxuries are not necessities. Many people work hard to seek luxuries in life — they purchase luxury goods and services and always long for possessions that they do not necessarily need. In doing so, they have gradually become slaves to those luxuries. They may feel “abundance” for a while but they can never enjoy ever-lasting happiness, and their souls can never be uplifted. Moreover, those who are used to luxuries may live beyond their means and get into debt, and debt robs a man of his self-respect. Indeed, it is sad to see a person indulge in luxuries and possessions.About Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977): a British actor and director who worked mainly in the US in humorous silent films during the 1920s. He usually appeared as a humorous character who had a small moustache, a bowler hat, and a walking stick, and who walked in a funny way with the backs of his feet together and his toes pointing out to the sides.Samuel Johnson⊙Without frugality none can be rich, and with it very few would be poor.— Samuel JohnsonInterpretation:Here Samuel Johnson advises us to be thrifty or economical with the use of our resources. Frugality is a virtue while extravagance is a sin. One can never become rich if one lives a spendthrift lifestyle, but anyone can feel that he is rich enough if he or she carefully manages his or her money and other resources.About Samuel Johnson (1709-1784): a British critic and dictionary writer. He is famous for his Dictionary of the English Language(1755), the first comprehensive dictionary of the Englishlanguage ever published. He was considered an excellent conversationalist (善于辞令的人). His intelligent, amusing, and interesting words are still widely quoted today.Section C Watching and DiscussionConfessions of a Shopaholic is a 2009 American romantic comedy film based on the Shopaholic series of novels by Sophie Kinsella.Watch the following video clip “Confessions of a Shopaholic” and do the tasks that follow:插入视频片段：“Confessions of a Shopaholic.wmv”1.What makes shopping a beautiful experience, according to Rebecca?the sheen of silk draped across a mannequin;.the smell of new Italian leather shoes;t he rush you feel when you swipe your card.

With that peace of mind comes what may be called “frugal freedom”, namely, freedom from debt, freedom from envy, freedom from shame, fr eedom from worry, and freedom from loss of one’s identity.Living a frugal life does not mean having nothing or living poor and cheap.

It is a great way of life.Part III Read and ExploreText ASection A Discovering the Main IdeasExercise 1: Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) Why did Sara and Michael decide to “strip down to bare happiness”?2) How did the couple “strip down” their lives?3) How did the couple feel about their new lifestyle?4) What is the “yearning feeling” that Sara mentions in Para. 10?5) How was the author affected by her interview with the couple?▇Answers for reference:1)I think there are two reasons why Sara and Michael decided to “strip down” their lives tobare essentials. On the one hand, they wanted to build up a world of their own where they could enjoy family life, social life and balance work and play all at the same time consistently.On the other hand, they were fed up with the old consumption habits and came to realize that they could still live a happy and self-fulfilling life on less money.2)The couple “stripped down” their lives in many ways. The major sacrifices they made were:They traded two-full time careers for two part-time freelance jobs.They moved to a small but comfortable energy-efficient house they designed themselves.They spent money only on bare necessities and things that did not make wasteful use of the earth’s resources.They constantly gave away what they did not really need and economized on what they had.They cut down their expenses of work in a commuter age. They did not own an extra car, and they gave up business suits, business luncheons and dinners; and they took care of the baby themselves and could save considerably from home cooking, thrift shops and do-it-yourself projects.3) They did not feel deprived at all. As Sara said, it was not deprivation but simplification. Theyfelt happy and satisfied with their frugal and simple lifestyle. They had a strong sense of self-fulfillment.4) I think the “yearning feeling” Sara talks about refers to the strong desire for possessing moreand more material things. Consumerism — the idea or belief that buying as many goods as possible is desirable for a person or society — is an important part of the American culture and it gives rise to this “yearning feeling”, which has led to the emergence of such socially sanctioned problems as impulse buying, brandname loyalty, irrational consumption of the earth’s resources and the mentality of following trends and fads.5) The author was deeply affected by the interview. On the one hand, she seemed to admireSara and Michael for their courage to turn their lifestyle around and she expressed her opinions approvingly. On the other hand, she felt it was difficult to resist the temptation of purchasing things on impulse as we can see from her shopping experience with her daughter that night. She came to the conclusion that most Americans could not find the resolve and courage to lead a simple lifestyle owing to the strong and deeply-rooted influence of consumerism.Exercise 2: Text A can be divided into three parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part Para(s)。

英语作文演讲购物狂shopaholic
Redemptions of a ShopaholicA shopaholic is someone who greatly enjoys going shopping and buying things, and they cannot stop themselves from doing this.1.The film Confessions of a ShopaholicConfessions of a Shopaholic is a 2009 American film adaptation of the Shopaholic series of novels by Sophie Kinsella. The film tells a story about Rebecca, who is a shopaholic. Rebecca Bloomwood is a shopping addict who lives with her best friend Suze. She works as a journalist for a gardening magazine but dreams to join the fashion magazine Alette. On the way to an interview with Alette, she buys a green scarf. Her credit card is declined, so Rebecca goes to a hot dog stand and offers to buy all the hot dogs if the seller gives her back change in cash, saying the scarf is to be a gift for her sick aunt. The hot dog vendor refuses but a man offers her $20.When Rebecca arrives at the interview,she's told that the position has been filled. However,the receptionist tells her there is an open position with the magazine Successful Saving.Rebecca interviews with Luke Brandon , the editor of Successful Savings and the man who just gave her the $20. She hides her scarf outside his office,but Luke's assistant comes into the office and gives it back to her.Rebecca knows the game is up and leaves. That evening,drunk, she and Suze write letters to Alette and Successful Saving, but she mails each to the wrong magazine. Luke likes the letter she meant to send to Alette and hires her. Rather than completing a work assignment for a new column, Rebecca goes to a clothing sale. While inspecting a coat,she realizes it is not 100% cashmere, which gives her an idea for the column, which is an instant success. Rebecca returns home to renewed confrontations with debt collector Derek Smeath, so Suze makes her join Shopaholics Anonymous. The class leader,Miss Korch , forces Rebecca to donate all the clothes she just bought, including a bridesmaid's dress for Suze's wedding and a dress for a TV interview. Rebecca can't afford to buy back both and buys back the interview dress. During the interview, Rebecca is accused of not paying her debts and loses her job. Suze is angrywhen she finds out that Rebecca sold the bridesmaid dress. Alette offers Rebecca a position at the magazine, but Rebecca declines. She sells most of her clothes to pay her debts. Meanwhile, Luke starts a new company, Brandon Communications.Rebecca's clothes sale makes it possible for her to pay her debts. Rebecca attends Suze's wedding after reclaiming her bridesmaid dress. Suze forgivesher.Rebecca and Luke meet, and Luke returns the green scarf after revealing that the person who bought it at an auction was acting as his agent. Rebecca becomes romantically involved with Luke and starts work at his new company.2.Tragedy in realityIn the movie, Rebbeca paid off all her debts through her hard work, and had a romantic love at the end, but, the reality is not as good as a movie. In fact, many of those girls are not so lucky. When it comes to excessive consumption behavior, we have to talk about the recently news. It has captured wide media attention, and it is constantly sparking heated discussion. It is “Naked Loan Event” .In lending to the borrower, borrower handheld ID nude photos instead of ious. When defaults are not returned, lenders threaten public borrowers with open nudity, photographs and connections with their borrowers' parents. "Naked" lending concern with nude female college students to obtain loans, when default repayment, lenders to open nude photos and contact with the borrower as a means to coerce parents forced repayment.According to the report, many of these girls are just for an iphone, and even more for treating pet dogs. In order to be able to pass on the loan, his "indecent" arrived, only to note the eyes, regardless of the consequences. Because of not being released usury nude, forced prostitution debt, not one or two days, two is not a thing, but more than a heavy blow, but not by the national public security departments, financial departments, universities, local government, it is not a normal thing in ten Internet users.

购物狂的自白英文观后感
购物狂的自白英文观后感英文回答：Confessions of a Shopaholic is a movie that really resonated with me. As someone who loves shopping and can easily get carried away with buying things, I found the protagonist's struggles to be quite relatable. The movie does a great job of highlighting the addictive nature of shopping and the consequences it can have on one's life.I think what struck me the most about the movie is how it portrayed the emotional and psychological aspects of being a shopaholic. It's not just about buying things, but also about the rush and the temporary high that comes with making a purchase. The movie showed the protagonist using shopping as a way to escape from her problems and fill a void in her life, which I think is something that many people can relate to.Another aspect of the movie that I found interesting ishow it addressed the financial implications of being a shopaholic. The protagonist's mounting debt and her struggles to keep up with her spending really hit home for me. It made me reflect on my own spending habits and the importance of being mindful of my finances.Overall, Confessions of a Shopaholic was a thought-provoking movie that made me take a closer look at my own relationship with shopping. It made me realize the importance of finding healthier ways to cope with stress and emotions, rather than turning to retail therapy.中文回答：《购物狂的自白》这部电影让我产生了很深的共鸣。
《一个购物狂的自白》的英文影评
《一个购物狂的自白》的英文影评It has been a long time since I came as close to walking out of a movie as I did with Confessions of a Shopaholic. Not only did I find this production to be irritating, unfunny, and lacking in entertainment value, but I found its underlying slavishness to a culture of consumption to be morally repugnant. Some of this, I realize, is a matter of timing, but the distributor has itself to blame for that. What company in its right mind would release a movie like this - one that lauds brand names and profligate spending - in a time when so many people are really hurting? Are the expressions of excess displayed in this movie a means of escape or an instrument to salt the wounds of some who spent hard-earned dollars to see this?My hatred of this movie runs true and deep. It's not a harmless fairy tale or a carefree screwball comedy. It's a bold and shameless expression of a warped and rotted "me first" culture in which people spend beyond their means then turn around and call themselves victims. Who is the villain in this movie? A debt collector, not the thoughtless bimbo who we're supposed to be rooting for. I'm sure there will be audience members who identify with Isla Fisher's bubble-brained Rebecca Bloomwood. They won't see her as a symptom of a societal disease. For my part, I found her to be entirely unsympathetic and having to spend nearly two hours watching her misadventures is a torturous experience. Many scenes take place on New Y ork City sidewalks. On each oc casion, I could not contain the never-to-be-realized hope that a runaway taxi would take her out.Some will doubtless argue that I'm taking the movie too seriously. It is, after all, intended to be a comedy with a side dish of romance. Besides, isn't the point that Rebecca is redeemed by paying off her debts, re-connecting with her parents, and turning her back on her shopaholic ways? The problem is that the movie, with its broad, clumsy humor, doesn't have a pratfall, sight gag, or double entendre worth a feeble chuckle and the romance is flat. As for Rebecca's redemption - it's not hard-won. The "consequences" she faces are obscenely minor. She doesn't lose her home or face the humiliation of standing in a line to get unemployment benefits. And the movie continues to name-drop Prada, Gucci, and others as if they represent the Holy Grail of purchasing power. That, I suppose, is the purchasing power of product placement. It's almost scary that the filmmakers don't see the hypocrisy, and almost as frightening that many in the audience will dismiss it.On a high level, Confessions of a Shopaholic is trying to fuse The Devil Wears Prada with Legally Blonde, but it lacks the darkly satirical edge of the former and the frothy innoc ence of the latter. It's a misbegotten offspring that sticks to the bottom of the shoe with the tenacity and stench of a dog turd. I expected more from P.J. Hogan, whose previous features include the heartfelt Muriel's Wedding and the delicious My Best Friend's Wedding. The fact that this movie is based on a pair of books may be an excuse, but it's not a good one.Rebecca Bloomwood, a journalist at a failing magazine, is obsessed with buying clothing. Wearing it is a secondary concern. It's the process of shopping that provides her with orgasmic shivers. When her interview to write for a fashion magazine fails and her current job is downsized into nothing, she finds herself without a means to pay off her mounting credit card bills. Through aseries of coincidences and contrivances too absurd to describe (involving a hot dog, a few drinks too many, and pink envelopes), she manages to gain employment writing for a personal savings magazine, where her "down to Earth" columns are an instant success. They bring her fame but not fortune, and she hides the truth about her personal debt issues from her editor, Luke Brandon (Hugh Dancy), who believes that, in Rebecca, he has found the voice who will reverse the downward spiral of the magazine's circulation numbers.In addition to providing viewers with this heroic tale of Rebecca's struggles against the lure of Madison A venue, Confessions of a Shopaholic tosses the crumbs of a love story to the romantic comedy crowd. Unfortunately, this is the latest example of two mismatched actors being forced together despite the lack of chemistry. And it's not that Isla Fisher can't do rom-coms - she was adorable in Definitely, Maybe - but that she and Hugh Dancy couldn't start a fire with matches, bone-dry tinder, and an accelerant. And, while Luke starts out the film as a likeable man, we gradually lose respect for him as his unwarranted esteem for Rebecca grows.Confessions of a Shopaholic takes time out to poke fun at addiction recovery groups, but not in a way that's clever or incisive. I'd be the first to acknowledge that there's room for parody here, but this approach is lazy. Like just about every other aspect of this movie, it's badly done About the only positive thing I can say about the film is that the actors mostly do competent jobs, although Fisher occasionally oversells the bubbly nature of her character and Kristen Scott Thomas appears to be aping Meryl Streep from The Devil Wears Prada. Here's 2009's first contender for placement on the Bottom 10 list.。
购物狂的自白英语作文
购物狂的自白英语作文Confession of a Shopaholic。
I have a confession to make: I am a shopaholic. It’s not something I’m proud of, but I can’t help it. Shopping is like a drug to me – I get a rush of excitement every time I step into a store, and I can’t resist the urge to buy something, even if I don’t need it.My addiction started when I was a teenager. I would spend hours browsing the mall, trying on clothes and shoes and imagining all the different outfits I could put together. I loved the thrill of finding the perfect piece and the satisfaction of bringing it home with me. It was like I was collecting trophies, and each new item added to my collection made me feel more accomplished.As I got older and started earning my own money, my shopping habit only got worse. I would spend entire paychecks on clothes, shoes, and accessories, and thenjustify it to myself by saying that I deserved it or that I needed to keep up with the latest trends. I would even go into debt just to buy things that I didn’t really need.But my addiction wasn’t j ust limited to clothes and accessories. I would also spend hours online shopping for home decor, gadgets, and even groceries. I would get athrill out of finding the best deals and filling my virtual cart with all sorts of goodies.It wasn’t until I h it rock bottom that I realized I had a problem. I had maxed out my credit cards and was struggling to pay my bills. I had closets full of clothes and shoes that I never wore, and I was drowning in clutter.I knew I needed to make a change.So I started by setting a budget for myself andsticking to it. I also started decluttering my home and getting rid of things that I didn’t need or use. It was a slow process, but it helped me to see that I didn’t need all of the things that I had been buying.Now, I still enjoy shopping, but I do it in moderation.I only buy things that I truly need or that bring me joy, and I always make sure that I can afford it before I make a purchase. It’s been a long road, but I’m proud of myself for overcoming my addiction and learning to live a more mindful and intentional life.。

With that in mind, let's explore some English quotes that capture the spirit of shopping, its joys, challenges, and lessons.1.

While money can't buy true happiness, the act of shopping can bring moments of joy and fulfillment into our lives.2. "Shopping is my cardio." - Carrie BradshawThis quote from Carrie Bradshaw, a fictional character from the TV show "Sex and the City," humorously emphasizes the physical activity involved in shopping. Whether we're navigating crowded malls, exploring outdoor markets, or trying on countless outfits, shopping can be a surprisingly effective way to stay active and burn some calories.3. "When in doubt, go shopping." - UnknownSometimes, when we're feeling down or unsure, a little retail therapy can work wonders. This quote encourages us to embrace shopping as a means ofself-care and stress relief. Sometimes, a new piece of clothing or a small indulgence can boost our confidence and uplift our spirits.4. "The items that we own should inspire joy." - Marie KondoMarie Kondo, a renowned Japanese organizing consultant, teaches us the importance of surrounding ourselves with items that spark joy in our lives.

"The price we pay for anything is the amount of life we exchange for it." - Henry David ThoreauHenry David Thoreau's quote reminds us to consider the true cost of our purchases. Shopping often involves making choices about how we allocate our resources, both financially and timewise. It prompts us to reflect on whether the things we buy are worth the time and effort we invest in acquiring them.7. "We don't need to own more. We need to own better." - Julia MooneyWith consumerism on the rise, Julia Mooney's quote reminds us of the importance of mindful shopping. Rather than constantly seeking more, let's focus on investing in high-quality items that are built to last. Choosing quality over quantity can lead to a more sustainable and fulfilling shopping experience.8. "You can't buy love, but you can shop for it on the internet." - UnknownHumorous and playful, this quote humorously alludes to the convenience of online shopping. In today's digital age, the internet offers us endless options right at our fingertips, making it easier than ever to find the perfect gift or surprise for our loved ones.In conclusion, shopping is a multifaceted experience that goes beyond the mere act of acquiring goods.
