难忘的情人节礼物

The traditional holidays in our house when I was a child were spent timing elaborate (精致的) meals around football games. My father tried to make pleasant chitchal(聊天) and eat as much as he could during half time. At Christmas he found time to have a cup or two of holiday cheer and don (戴上) his holly-shaped (形冬青叶状的) bow tie. But he didn't truly shine until Valentine's Day. I don't know whether it was because work at the office slowed during February or because the football season was over. But Valentine' s Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in

I have a good friend. It’s a beautiful bird. It can fly very high, but it can’t sing or eat. Why? Because it’s a kite. My mother bought* it for me when I was seven years old.

一次不可思议的经历

It was a busy scene in the street when the Spring Festival was drawing near. I was helping my wife sell the goods at her stand when there were too many buyers around. One old woman, with her both hands occupied, was picking out trousers all by herself. She was wandering which one to take. She spent so long in choosing that I lost patience. So I just left her alone and turned to greet another guest. At the same time I saw a group of guys walking towards our stand. I was glad that we could make a little more today before my wife whispered into my ear "WATCH OUT!". "WHY?" I asked loudly. "Shoo-." my wife held her finger up to stop me and rolled her eyes at me when she quickly covered the moneybag tightly. "What?" I still wanted to find out the reason when the guys stood around the old woman. The guest I served left without buying anything though he liked the item very much.

Pretty Bird by Bob Sinclair

Recently I was reminded of a story which my mother swears is trus (though she doesn't call me Bobby muchanymore):Back in 1958,when I was just past four years old,my parents gave me a young parakeet.My mother determinedthat our parakeet would learn to talk,and to this end sat at the microphone of a borrowed tape recorder for a full 1/2hour,saying over and over again:“Pretty bird!Pretty bird!Pretty bird!Pretty bird!...”and so on.The resultingtaped message was played for our parakeet at least once per day.For weeks.One of Mom's friends often dropped by for an early morning cup of coffee,and was well aware (due to the in-cessant taped message) of her attempts to teach our bird to talk.And one day,while the friend was at the kitchentable,the bird began to speak,but very quietly and indistinctly.She excitedly called my mother into the room,andtold her that the bird was trying to say something.The two women carefully leaned toward the parakeet's cage,andheard him say,very clearly now-“Bobby!Stop that!”     

How I Began to Learn English

My name is Zhang Rui.As my parents are both English teachers, I showed great interest in English even when I was a very little girl.Whenever my father was reading English, I always sat at the desk listening to him quietly.

A Teacher of the Old School

My grandfather was a teacher. He was the headteacher of a school for boys between the ages of thirteen and eighteen. I know that he was a kind and gentle man at heart, because when I was young(and he was old), he gave me presents, and sat me on his knee, and told me stories. But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him.     

My English Learning Experience

This essay is aimed at reflecting my English learning experience,which is divided into three stages:The first six years’of study as a junior and senior high school student,when I always got high scores in the exams.I thought I was a sucessful English learner at that time.Four years as an English major in a teacher’s college,where I found my English was as other people called "Chinglish".No matter how hard I worked I couldn’t talk freely with native speakers.As time went on,I got to know the phenomenon belonging to interlanguage fossilization of English learning.Two years later after I graduated from the university,I went to University of Canberra to study my Master degree,there I found the essential factors that could help me get over fossilization through enhanced motivation,increased comprehensible input and production of communicative output.

Mother’s Love

Who gave birth to me 14 years ago. Of course, my mother. My grandma often tells me when I was just born, I looked so small and thin, only nearly 5 Chinese pounds. So doctors put me into a warm box for weeks. My mother came to see me everyday although she was weak. I can't feel my mother's love at that time but I can feel it from my grandma's words. I was so thin and small when I was a baby, so I was always ill in my childhood. A day of my sixth year, I didn't feel well and had a stomac…
