Dear editor (編輯) ,
I live in a beautiful city . Many visitors come to my city . there are so many colorful peacocks (孔雀) here .
The peacocks mostly live on the grass land of Dongfeng Square
They are given food freely by visitors . They usually throw food to them , and don』t think about at all whether the food is right or not . Some of the peacocks became ill , some even died after eating the bad food given by the visitors.
I』m sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds , but don』t realize (意識到) that they may be doing them harm (傷害).
The visitors should be told that what have done is very harmful to the birds , and this kind of thing must be stopped from happening .
Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food . For us every person , it』s our ty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully.
Yours,
Sun Yan

An owl is a bird with very large eyes. Those eyes make the owl look clever. The owl can not move its eyes freely as people can. It can only look straight ahead (朝前). If it wants to look at both sides, it must turn its neck.
Owls see better at night than ring the day. At night they look for food. They eat mice and insects.

Do you know why different animals or pests(昆蟲) have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts(蝗蟲), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops(莊稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest (收獲)time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you』ll find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the trees.
Have you ever found an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid(液體) when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over(散開), its enemies(敵人) cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.

A. are small animals

Thoughts given by Sherlock Holmes and the Duke』s Son
Written in the first chapter of the book Pride and Prejudice is an extraordinary sentence of which even a person who has had only a brief look upon the book will not fail to receive a deep impression-It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. In terms of Sherlock Holmes, we』d better alter the sentence into 「It is a fact universally accepted by readers throughout the world that an excellent book in possession of our famous detective Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly a masterpiece of all times.」 Perhaps this is one of the most obvious explanations for the unrivaled popularity of 「Holmes series」 in the field of detective stories. Overwhelmed by the recommendations provided by my friends, I decided to take a look on this Sherlock Holmes and the Duke』s Son originally published by Oxford University Press.
As a whole, this book is about a case concerning the Duke』s missing son. Arthur, the Duke』s son, was found out in a certain morning to have disappeared, accompanied with which was also the disappearance of the German teacher. The school master Dr. Huxtable then turned to the famous detective of the time Sherlock Holmes for help. Realizing how tough and important the case is, Holmes immediately made up his mind to accept the case and followed Dr. Huxtable back to Mackleton by train. Having formed a rough idea about the whole matter, Holmes probed into the case immediately and had a careful investigation of the entire area shortly after the arrival, ring the process of which he discovered the body of the German teacher Heidegger. Finally, primarily e to his prominent ability as a detective, he managed to unravel the mystery and obtained the twelve thousand pounds promised by the Duke.
Having once started reading this fiction, I was completely immersed in the mysterious story presented by the book. As the saying goes, 「Well begun, half done」. At the beginning of the story, just like many other detective stories, the author gives us a brief description of the condition by the words of a client. However, unlike other ones, this story first delineates the client』s strange behavior at length to indicate the severity of the incident in order to attract the readers to continue reading it. As is known to all, vivid depiction is essential to detective stories since it can help the readers understand each figure』s characteristics and visualize the scenes, thus making the story more authentic and attractive. Therefore, trying to present a 「real world」 to his readership, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the original 「Holmes series」, has skillfully arranged the plots of the whole story from the perspective of Dr. Watson, a character not so specialized in discovering the truth hidden behind the enigmatic happenings as Holmes but so loyal to Sherlock Homes as a friend that he always accompanies Holmes wherever he goes. In this way, he elaborately depicted every scene and character in the book, Apart from the special start, the ending of the whole story, being dramatic but reasonable, is certainly an outstanding one. After all, except the author himself, who knows that the Duke』s seemingly ordinary secretary is in fact the Duke』s bastard? In addition, who knows that the Duke actually has already been acquainted with the whole thing before Holmes solves this complicated problem? Yet, surprising as it is, this ending seems so natural that it fits all the plots of the story perfectly well. While enjoying this wonderful story, I could do nothing but admire the wonderful design of this masterpiece as well as the author』s gorgeous writing skill. Closing my eyes, I can even 「see」 the story happening just like watching a film. Not until then did I understand why the Japanese cartoon film Detective Conan used this 「Conan」 as the name of its hero.
As far as I am concerned, nothing is more admirable and surprising in the hero Sherlock Homes than his profound knowledge which has certainly assisted him a lot when he was studying the case. Take the bicycle tyres for instance, Holmes actually is capable of recognizing 42 different varieties of bicycle tyres. What』s more, according to his other stories, Holmes has studied different kinds of newspapers, cigarettes, people』s footprints and other special things as well. Therefore, he seems to have the mastery of anything relevant to the cases he deals with. Except for his illimitable knowledge, Holmes also specializes in arranging the facts in order and then finding the fact leading him to a GREat discovery or even the truth itself. From his speaking 「Every mystery has an answer」, we can readily shape the impression of a man with great intelligence and inflexible will. In this case, after getting rid of unrelated facts, Sherlock Homes eventually grasped the clue and discovered the amazing fact

H. 做英語課外閱讀訓練心得體會500字
個人認為,英語的學習歸根到底就在於2個詞:一是堅持,二是興趣。
怎麼樣堅持?就是要一天學一點,一天進步一點,緊緊咬住,不要荒廢。而在學英語的各個環節中,無論聽說讀寫,如果單詞量不足的話,就會感覺寸步難行,因此背單詞是一個繞不過去的中心環節。最好就是給自己規定個短期目標,一天要記多少個單詞,完成為止。也許學其他的科目可能還有捷徑可以走,但要學好英語真的沒有捷徑。有不少朋友問我,怎麼樣才能快速學好英語?我都只能搖頭,沒有辦法,只能堅持:讀,聽,看,背,除此之外別無他法。不過,相比於其它科目,學英語也有一個優勢,就是不需要整塊的時間,我們可以在排隊等候的時候、在其它零碎的閑暇時間裡面,記上幾個英語單詞或知識點,既利用了時間,又填補了空閑,也不失為一舉兩得。
但背單詞畢竟是枯燥的,這就需要一種激發自己興趣的辦法。俗話說興趣是最好的老師。這種興趣不單單從考試的角度出發,而是通過對英語的熟練和語感越來越好,逐漸體會到它音韻和形式的美,從而產生更好地掌握英語的願望,對英語的興趣自然會水漲船高的。比如,可以玩玩英語游戲,看看英語MTV或英語原聲電影,參加英語沙龍,或者到英文網站閱讀英文新聞等。由於英語統考的時候不需要考聽和說,我們從事醫療工作的,平時一般也缺乏聽說英語的機會,因此我是以閱讀為主來提高自己的英語興趣和水平的。可以閱讀的英文學習資料非常多,主要是要根據自己的水平選擇適合的材料,以讀起來有點吃力,但不影響對整篇的理解為適宜的難度。在有不懂的生詞存在時仍然能夠領會文章的意思,這是我們必須訓練出來的能力。當你發現英語也成為你通向豐富知識的路徑時,你自然而然就會體驗到駕馭這門語言的樂趣。
在英語統考的時候,第一卷是選擇題,其中語法和情景對話的單選題考的是知識點,我認為對於這部分關鍵是要快,即快速做出判斷,不必鑽牛角尖。閱讀理解是得分大戶,考的是整體的理解,我覺得在閱讀理解上多花一點時間來斟酌相對比較值得。第二卷是翻譯和作文,雖然只有30分,但如果拿不到18分以上,即使全卷過60分也要被判為不合格。做漢譯英的題最害怕的是被個別詞卡住了,這個時候,就要避免在一個詞上空耗時間,而是盡快找個意義近似的詞或片語來代替。另外就是作文的問題。短時間內提高英語作文能力,最有效的辦法就是背熟若干篇範文,然後在考試時用題材相似的範文的格式和句型去套。但我認為平時多練習英語寫作還是很重要的,最好每個星期寫一兩篇,除了訓練作文這一塊外,對提高漢譯英的能力,對英文語感和興趣的培養也大有裨益。
以上是我個人學習英語的一點心得體會。大家在學習上都是久經考驗的好手,每人都有自己的獨門功夫。但願我的方法能夠再帶給大家一點幫助。

魯濱遜漂流記
Robinson Crusoe is a classic novel about a man called Robinson Crusoe. Robinson likes travelling at sea, but one day (Robinson was twenty-six)his boat gets battered by a storm and Robinson gets shipwrecked at a deserted island.
At first, Robinson is full of despair and doesn't knkow what to do. Finally he finds a nice place for him to live and starts collecting provisions from his his ship's wreck.
After Reading 「Aesop』s Fables」
When I was young, people around me of the told me the story 「The Shepherd』s Boy and the Wolf 「 in order to ecate me to be an honest person. At that age, in my opinion, it was just a story written by my parents or other people I knew to frighten me. As I grow older, I get to know that it is a fable from a very famous book 「Aesop』s Fables」.
The book 「Aesop』s Fables」 wasn』t written by Aesop but was collected and anthologized by him. The working people created the stories in the book in ancient times. They created the stories using their living experiences and imagination, and then handed them down from generation to generation.
The book one of the precious cultural heritages. There』re more than one hundred fables in the book. The protagonists of most of the fables are animals or plants, which are depicted like human beings. This writing technique is called personification that is often used in fables and fairy tales.
Each fable that is short and understandable tells us a philosophy. There are two stories that impress me most. The first one is 「 The tortoise and the Eagle」. A tortoise was complaining of her hard fate that no one would teach her to fly when an eagle hovered bear. He heard her lamentation and promised to take her a lift and float her in the air if she could give him some rewards. And then he carried her up in the sky suddenly he let her go. The poor tortoise fell down on a mountain. At the moment of death she cried:」 I have deserved my present fates for what had I to do with wings and clouds, and who can with difficulty move about on the earth?」 The story tells us if men had all they wished, they would be ruined. I quite agree with it. Take our personal lives for example. Everyone has his own merit and demerit. One is good at singing while another is good at dancing. Nobody can have all the skills that can be imagined. This is the reason why some people are fit for making decision while other people are suitable for carrying out the decision. So it is no need for us to be jealous of others as we have our own feature, which other haven』t.

Robinson lives like this, discovering new creatures, bringing up a flock of goats, perfecting his home, and making food for himself, until one day cannibals visit Robinson's island. They had a captive with them, so Robinson decided to rescue him. Robinson names the man Friday and Friday willingly became Robinson's faithful servant.
If you want to know how Robinson gets rescued, what he does when he comes face-to-face with thirty cannibals and more, read Robinson Crusoe and find out.
This was a really interesting book. Even though this book was quite long, I didn't find it very boring at all.(well, maybe just the beginning.) I thought it was very interesting how the author puts in parts of Robinson's journal in the book, and how he goes really close-up into Robinson's island life. This book was very detailed and I enjoyed it a lot.
This is a novel by the English author Daniel Defoe, published in 1719. It is one of the most popular adventure novels in all literature. It is the story of Bobinson Crusoe, an Englishman who is shipwrecked in a lonely tropical island. He builds himself a hut, grows his own food, and becomes self-sufficient. After 23 years he meets with a group of cannibals and rescues one of their prisoners, a young native whome he calls Friday.Crusoe and his「man」Friday become close friends, and when they are finally rescued four years later, both return to England.
Robinson Crusoe was partly based on the actual deeds of Alexander Selkirk, an 18th-century Scottish sailor who spent almost five years alone on a desert island. This novel is famous for its lovely details and its expression of belief in man's ability when left alone in nature.
《傲慢與偏見》
Pride and Prejudice is a chefdoeuvre. But my first impression of this story was from screen.
It's long long ago, maybe before I can read english books. I don't remember which movie edition I had seen. But I was impressed by the music, the scenery and the costume. I was very favor of a section of music in its balls. It's pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. Regarding to the characters, I liked Elizabeth, the heroine,though I didn't think she's beautiful. But she's smart. However, I didn't pay much attention to the plot. I thought it's so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I haven't read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice.
In fact, I didn't understand the story at that time. I didn't know why it called Pride and Prejudice. Of course someone was pride, but I didn't find where' s the prejudice. I thought it's normal, the way people treated each other in that. I considered prejudice would be very disgusting. But to the movie everthing was OK in my minds, except its length. Now, I think I have understood more about it. I'm a prejudiced person so I can't find where's wrong. I merely like to do the things I like. Everytime I meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time. I like it so just like it, if not so just not. I'm a person thinking by heart not by brain. What is worse, I actually didn't think it's wrong. I thought everyone is all like that.Everyone has his special way to cognize the world. So it's indiviality, not prejudice. But I think something is wrong. Though everyone can judge in the way he likes, he can't ignore other ones. You can like what you like and hate what you hate, but you should be objective when you meet external world. I think it means that you should consider things roundly, not just partial. Indiviality is different from prejudice. What is it? I need to think more.
哈利·波特1》(即《哈利·波特與魔法石》)
Harry always walked secretly around the Hogwarts castle under the cloak, but Filch, the caretaker might suddenly turned up from a secret passage and tried to catch students who broke rules. Luckily Harry got the Marauder's Map from Fred and George Weasley. Harry learned later that this map was also the possession and proct of James and his friends before. The map showed not only the whole school including all secret passages but also all the people in Hogwarts. So that Harry could be warned before Filch or Professor Snape got near him.
Nevertheless, thinking twice of it, Snape was not a person like that. As what I said before, Snape hated James and this passion was turned to Harry when they met. Just because James saved him in school, Snape helped Harry instead of abandoning him or even disadvantaging Harry that was so great.
In the series novels of Harry Potter, Snape never played a subordinate role. During his teenage years, he was an enemy to Harry』s father, James Potter and his Godfather, Sirius Black. Snape hated them very much, when he met little Harry, he was always giving out this kind of passion. He went hard with Harry as possible as he could, not only in class but also out of school. Nevertheless, when there was something dangerous to Harry, he would help him at once. It was just because Harry』s father had ever saved Snape』s life when they were at Hogwarts.
<簡.愛>:
Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens』, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century.
The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.
The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Maylie and Rose and began a new life. He went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.
How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. Although I don』t think goodness is omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.
For me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodness is to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, 『The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose』, he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.
To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity. They look down on people』s honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing their 『kindness』, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest.
Francis Bacon said in his essay, 『Goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.』
That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell those 『vermin-to-be』 to learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.
理智與情感Sense and Sensibility,這篇還可以,可以參考 :)~~
Sense and Sensibility was the first Jane Austen published. Though she initially called it Elinor and Marianne, Austen jettisoned both the title and the epistolary mode in which it was originally written, but kept the essential theme: the necessity of finding a workable middle ground between passion and reason. The story revolves around the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. Whereas the former is a sensible, rational creature, her younger sister is wildly romantic--a characteristic that offers Austen plenty of scope for both satire and compassion. Commenting on Edward Ferrars, a potential suitor for Elinor's hand, Marianne admits that while she "loves him tenderly," she finds him disappointing as a possible lover for her sister.
Soon however, Marianne meets a man who measures up to her ideal: Mr. Willoughby, a new neighbor. So swept away by passion is Marianne that her behavior begins to border on the scandalous. Then Willoughby abandons her; meanwhile, Elinor's growing affection for Edward suffers a check when he admits he is secretly engaged to a childhood sweetheart. How each of the sisters reacts to their romantic misfortunes, and the lessons they draw before coming finally to the requisite happy ending forms the heart of the novel. Though Marianne's disregard for social conventions and willingness to consider the world well-lost for love may appeal to modern readers, it is Elinor whom Austen herself most evidently admired; a truly happy marriage, she shows us, exists only where sense and sensibility meet and mix in proper measure.
