新概念三第2课英语作文
新概念三第2课英语作文My dear Mary,。
I am writing this letter to express my sinceregratitude for your heartwarming hospitality during my recent trip to England. The week I spent at your charming cottage in the countryside was an experience I will cherish forever.From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in the warmth and comfort of your home. The cozy living room with its crackling fire, the inviting dining room with its panoramic views of the rolling hills, and the comfortable bedroom with its soft, downy bed—everything seemed designed to provide me with the utmost relaxation and tranquility.Your kindness and generosity extended far beyond the material comforts you provided. You took the time to show me around the picturesque village, introducing me to thefriendly locals and sharing stories about the area's rich history. Your enthusiasm for your community was infectious, and I came to appreciate the unique charm of Englishvillage life.But what truly made my stay so exceptional was the warmth and companionship you offered me. Your conversations were always engaging and thought-provoking, and I learned so much about British culture and customs. Your laughter filled the house with joy, and I felt like I had known you for much longer than a week.In the evenings, we would often sit by the fire and sip on your delicious tea, sharing stories and dreams. I was particularly touched by your openness and vulnerability. You shared with me your experiences, your hopes, and your fears, and I felt honored to be entrusted with your confidence.I know that you have a busy life, but you always made time for me. You drove me to the nearby city to explore its museums and shops. You took me on walks through thebeautiful countryside, pointing out the wildflowers and identifying the birdsong. You even arranged a private tour of Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill.Every day was filled with new adventures and discoveries, but what I enjoyed most was simply being in your presence. Your kindness, your wisdom, and your infectious enthusiasm made my trip to England truly unforgettable.As I boarded the train back to London, I felt a pang of sadness to leave such a wonderful place and such a wonderful friend. But I also knew that I would carry the memories of my stay with me always. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have met you, Mary. You have not only given me a taste of English hospitality, but you have also enriched my life in ways that I cannot fully express.With love and appreciation,。

Lesson40 Who’s whoIt has never been explained why university students seem to enjoy practical jokes more than anyone else. Students specialize in a particular type of practical joke: the hoax. Inviting the fire-brigade to put out a non-existent fire is a crude form of deception which no self-respecting student would ever indulge in, Students often create amusing situations which are funny to everyone except the victims. When a student recently saw two workmen using a pneumatic drill outside his university, he immediately telephoned the police and informed them that two students dressed up as workmen were tearing up the road with a pneumatic drill. As soon as he had hung up, he went over to the workmen and told them that if a policeman ordered them to go away, they were not to take him seriously. He added that a student had dressed up as a policeman and was playing all sorts of silly jokes on people. Both the police and the workmen were grateful to the student for this piece of advance information.The student hid in an archway nearby where he could watch and hear everything that went on. Sure enough, a policeman arrived on the scene and politely asked the workmen to go away. When he received a very rude reply from one of the workmen, he threatened to remove them by force. The workmen told him to do as he pleased and the policeman telephoned for help. Shortly afterwards, four more policemen arrived and remonstrated with the workmen. As the men refused to stop working, the police attempted to seize the pneumatic drill. The workmen struggled fiercely and one of them lost his temper. He threatened to call the police. At this, the police pointed out ironically that this would hardly be necessary as the men were already under arrest. Pretending to speak seriously, one of the workmen asked if he might make a telephone call before being takento the station. Permission was granted and a policeman accompanied him to a call-box. Only when he saw that the man was actually telephoning the police did he realize that they had all been the victims of a hoax.谁也弄不清为什么大学生好像比任何人都更喜欢恶作剧。

新概念英语第三册课文Lesson 1：A Puma at LargeTextA farmer in Puerto Rico had a strange experience. He was walking through a field one day when he realized that a huge puma was following him. The farmer was very frightened and tried to escape. He suddenly saw an old man who was working in the field. The farmer ran to the old man and told him about the puma. ‘Ah,’ said the old man, ‘he** won’t hurt you. He is old and almost blind. He is no longer a danger to anyone.’ ’But sir,’ said the farmer, ‘I’m afraid of** him.’ ‘Then take my advice,’ said the old man. ‘Don’t run away. Just keep on walking steadily towards him whenever you see him. Show him that you are not afraid and he will never attack you.’ The following day the farmer was walking through the field with a friend. Once again, the puma was behind him. The farmer followed the old man’s advice and didn’t run away. When the puma was only a few yards away, it suddenly jumped to one side and disappeared into the bushes.ExplanationThis lesson tells the story of a farmer in Puerto Rico who encounters a puma while walking through a field. Initially frightened, the farmer seeks help from an old man working in the field. The old man assures the farmer that the puma, being old and almost blind, poses no harm to him.Des pite his fear, the farmer follows the old man’s advice not to run away from the puma but to walk steadily towards it whenever he sees it. The next day, accompanied by a friend, the farmer once again encounters the puma. This time, he demonstrates his fearlessness by calmly walking towards the puma. Surprisingly, the puma jumps to one side and disappears into the bushes, leaving the farmer unharmed.This lesson highlights the importance of overcoming fear and facing challenges head-on. It suggests that by confidently confronting our fears, we can often find that they hold less power over us than we initially believed.Lesson 2: A close shaveTextOne day in 1902, in a small town in the west of England, a young woman made a phone call to the local police. She said that she had just seen a big grey animal with a long tail. It had come out of a wood and was running across a field. The woman added that it looked like a huge cat. The police didn’t take her seriously and said that a cat as big as a cow was impossible. But the woman insisted that she was right. ‘It may be a puma,’ she said. ‘There’s a zoo near here and one of the pumas has** escaped. I am absolutely certain that what I saw was a puma.’ The police still didn’t believe her, until the following day when a bus driver saw the animal. He** saw** it in the afternoon and it was only a few miles away from the town. Two days later, there were two more sightings of the puma. Then a farmer in a village ten miles away saw it one evening and others saw it too. The police now had proof that there was a puma in the area. They asked the army to help them find the animal. Soldierswith guns were brought to the town and the police were given orders to shoot the puma on sight. The poor puma didn’t stand a chance.ExplanationIn this lesson, a young woman in a small town in the west of England reports seeing a big grey animal with a long tail. She describes the animal as resembling a huge cat. However, the local police dismiss her claims, considering a cat of that size to be impossible.Undeterred, the woman suggests that the animal could be an escaped puma from a nearby zoo. The police remain skeptical until the following day when a bus driver also spots the animal a few miles from the town. Subsequently, there are several more sightings of the puma, including by a farmer in a nearby village.With mounting evidence, the police seek assistance from the army to locate and capture the puma. Orders are given to shoot the animal on sight. Unfortunately, the puma’s fate is sealed a s the armed forces are called in to deal with the situation.This lesson highlights the danger of jumping to conclusions and dismissing others’ claims without proper investigation. It also provides insight into the challenges that arise when dealing with potentially dangerous animals in a public setting.Lesson 3: A new houseText‘We are moving to the country,’ said Mother. ‘It is much better for children to grow up in the country than in a town. We are not so near the shops there,’ said Mother, ‘so we sha ll not be able to get things so easily.’ ‘That will be nice, Mummy,’ said Jane. ‘Nice, but** expensive,’ said Father. ‘We shall have room for hens and pigs and ducks,’ said Jane. ‘That will be fun.’ Last week Father found a house for us. It is small, but comfortable, and it stands in a garden. In the garden, there is a large tree with** thick leaves**. Under the tree, my mother wants to put a table and some chairs. She wants to serve tea under the tree in the summer. My mother wants to have tea under the tr ee, but I don’t want to. All sorts of things fall from the tree, things like caterpillars and snails. I don’t want caterpillars in my tea. Mother said, ‘Don’t be silly, Jane. Caterpillars won’t fall into the teapot.’ExplanationLesson 3 describes a family’s decision to move from the town to the country. The mother believes that living in the country will be better for the children’s upbringing. However, the father expresses concern about the increased expenses of living in a rural area.The family finds a small but comfortable house with a garden.

我们想劝说布鲁斯把车开回我们出发的那个村庄去。
尽管路面布满石头，坑坑洼洼，但布鲁斯却一点儿不慌乱。
他瞥了一眼地图，告诉我们前面再走不到20英里就是一个村庄。
这并不是说布鲁斯总是低估困难，而是他压根儿没有一点儿危险感。
他认为不管路面情况如何，车必须以最高速度前进。
我们在尘士飞扬的道路上颠簸，车子东拐西弯，以躲开那些大圆石。
车轮搅起的石块锤击车身，发出不祥的锤击声。
我们想念迟早会飞起一个石块把油箱砸开一个窟窿，或者把发动机砸坏。
因此，我们不时地掉过头，怀疑车后是否留下了机油和汽油的痕迹。
突然大石块不见了，前面是一片平地，唯一的障碍只有一簇簇灌木丛。
这使我们长长地松了口气。
但是更糟糕的事情在等着我们，离我们不远处，出现一个大裂缝。
我们再次央求布鲁斯小心，他这才把车停了下来。
我们纷纷下车察看那个大裂缝，他却呆在车上。
我们告诉他那个大裂缝长50码，宽2英尺，深4英尺。
这也没有对他产生任何影响。
布鲁斯挂上慢档，把两只前轮分别搁在裂缝的两边，顺着弯弯曲曲的裂缝，以发疯的速度向前开去。
我们还未来得及担心后果，车已重新开上了平地。
布鲁斯又看了一眼地图，告诉我们那座村庄离我们只有15英里了。
下一个障碍是一片约半英里宽的浅水塘。
布鲁斯向水塘冲去，但车开到水塘当中，嘎吱一声停住了。
仪表盘一盏黄灯闪着刺眼的光芒，布鲁斯兴致勃勃地宣布发动机里没油了！Newwordsandeateswervescoomerv（用锤）击打，锤打ominously，不祥的riateddifficulties这并不是说布鲁斯总是低估困难。
