LUDWIG VON  BEETHOVEN


  Ye Xin(Class 4 Shiyan Junior Middle School )

  Ludwig Von Beethoven was born in Bonn Germany,on December 16,1770.
  When he was five-year-old, his father thought the boy was going to be a child genius (天才) and like Mozart, make it of money. so his father found him a teacher to give him music lessons and made him practice when he was free. Beethoven like music very much.
  By the time he was ten. Beethoven became a very good musician(音乐家).He played very well and all people said.“He is another Mozart.”
  In 1787, Beethoven went to Vienna. IN Vienna, he had a chance. The great musician asked the seventeen-year-old boy to play to him.
  When Beethoven was 28 years old. He came to a great tragedy(悲剧) of his life. He began to lose his hearing. At first he thought he had a cold and for the reason. he could not hear well. But it was more serious. Within a few years(几年后),he was completely deaf---he could not hear anything.
But this did not stop him. He wrote some of the great music after he became deaf.
Beethoven’s friends tried to help this unhappy man, but he was a very independent(独立的) person .he refused any help. And on March 26,1827,he died suddenly.
 
2 Humors(幽默二则)
 
10 Most Wanted
Tang Tao (Class 4 Shiyan Junior Middle School)
Little Sammy’s kindergarten class was on a field trip to their local police station. There they saw pictures tacked to a big bulletin board.
The label clearly read, "The 10 Most Wanted."
One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked if it really was the photo of wanted person.
“Yes," said the policeman, "the detectives want him very badly." 
So Little Sammy asked, while tugging on the man’s belt, "Um, sir, why didn’t you keep them when you took their pictures?"

十名通缉犯
实验初中二4班  唐涛
小萨米的幼儿园班级正去当地的警察局实习、参观。在那里,他们看见在大公告牌上有用大头针钉住的图画。
条幅上清晰地写着:“十名通缉犯。”
其中的一位儿童敏锐地看到一幅画,并问它是不是真正的通缉犯的照片。
“是的,”警察答道,“侦探追踪他很困难。”
于是,小萨米用力拉这个人的腰带并说:“嗯,先生,你们为什么不在拍他们的照片时抓住他们呢?”
 
A Good Boy
Huai’an Foreign Language School
Little Robert asked his mother for two cents.
"What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday?"
"I gave it to a poor old woman." he answered.
"You’re a good boy," said the mother proudly.
"Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman?" "She is the one who sells the candy."

“昨天给你的钱干什么了?” 
“我给了一个可怜的老太婆。”他回答说。

“她是个卖糖果的。”
 
【专家评述】
 
中国学生英语学习误区
YahooInc.北亚区董事总经理关重远先生:“中国人学英文最大障碍是语速问题。为此,观看英语电视节目,阅读英语文章以及使用英语进行口语交流都会有很大帮助。不幸的是,中国的英语电视节目并不多。然而我们还是可以通过观看英语新闻和阅读英语文章得到提高。也许学习英语最快的办法就是同外国人或者同真正对英语感兴趣的中国学生进行对话和交流。”
“掌握丰富的英语词汇也需要很多时间。大量阅读英文报纸、文章和杂志有助于词汇的积累。此外,您还可以通过互联网来学习英语。互联网上的在线英语课程为您提供了更多的英语交流机会,以及最适合您当前英语水平的课程。将来学生们学习英语就不再局限于学校,而是可以很方便地通过互联网进行学习了。”
华尔街英语学术部主任SimonBuckland先生:“今天的学员首先需要的是实用的教学大纲和灵活的学习方法。这些人都非常忙碌,并且具有很强的责任感,他们希望提高工作能力,能够自如地进行英语交流。自主、自信和自立是他们的生活原则,也是他们学习英语的原则。”
从过去到现在,中国的英语教学一直都是一个老大难的问题。结果是,学生们在现实生活中或在专业领域内使用英语的能力非常有限。
北京外国语大学曾诚副教授:“我认为,无论是过去还是现在,中国人学习英语的最大问题都是认为英语太难。这是因为英语与我们的母语存在很大差异。如果我们不把这种差异(包括语法和交流两个方面)告诉成年学生,他在学习过程中就会迷失方向。也就是说,你不能像教自己的孩子说话那样教他们学习英语。你必须告诉他们为什么要这样学。另外,学习英语的中国学员接触英语的机会太少——如果他周围的人都说英语,他就会获得更多的练习机会,而且可以从英语为母语的人那里获得可信的反馈意见。最后是学习热情。只有那些具有很高学习热情的人才会有毅力去学习英语。对于这一点,你只需看看那些准备英语考试的人就明白了。无论你打算出国还是寻求更好的工作都必须掌握英语,这时你就会发现英语其实并不难(相对于汉语而言,英语还是比较简单的;因为汉语是公认的世界上第二种最难学习的语言)。”

Beautiful Sence Happy Day
Today we went to Bondi Beach and Watsons Bay .We went there by bus. There were 41 students on the bus. We all felt very excited.We were chatting and laughing all the way. The driver was a little angry because he disliked talking.He thought we were making a noise. But we don’t mind because we are young,we are happy. It took us about two hours to get there. It’s a long way. When we saw the sea,we were very excited. We all ran to the beach at once. It’s very beautiful. I have never seen the sea before. The sea is blue, the sand is white and soft. I can’t help shouting. Ifelt so excited that I took off my shoes, I ran to the sea. The seawater is a little cool,but I like it . There were many Australians around us. Some of them were swimming in the sea,some of them were lying in the hot sun, some of them kept walking or running. Then an old woman came to us , she was friendly, she asked us" Where are you from?". When we told her we came from China, she became very excited. She told us that she would go to China soon. Then we left our addresses to her,she was very pleased. She said when she came to China, she would come to our school. She asked us to take a photo with her.We were very happy. And now we have the photo——15Chinese, an Australian;15 young people, a senoir citizen; yellow skin, white skin.
Today were very happy. Blue sea, white sand, frindly Australians, happy Chinese ,beautiful sence,happy day!  (Gao Meng)
