四年级暑假读后感英语作文：《格列佛游记》读后感

　　one of the most interesting questions about gullivers travels is whether the houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of swift's satire. in other words, in book iv, is swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act? if we look closely at the way that the houyhnhnms act, we can see that in fact swift does not take them seriously: he uses them to show the dangers of pride.

　　“animals deserve our kindness, sympathy and understanding,” that is what anna sewell-the author of black beauty-wanted to convince her readers. thanks to sewell, i now think about the animal-human relationship from both the human and the animal’s point of view.

　　the inspiration for anna sewell’s novel was drawn from her own relationship with horses. anna sewell was born on march 20th, 1820 in norfolk, england and was crippled while still very young. due to her disability, she relied on horse-drawn carriages and grew to love horses as a result. she also became appalled by the careless and cruel treatment horses often received from humans and determined to write a book.. in the second year of work on the book, she was told that she had only eighteen months to live, but she persevered in order “to induce kindness, sympathy and an understanding [of the ] treatment of horses.” five years later, she was still working on black beauty, her only book. unfortunately, sewell died a few months after publication and never learned of the book’s huge success. black beauty formed an impassioned plea for animal rights at a time when such a notion had been dismissed as ridiculous.

　　the novel portrayed the real condition of working horses living in britain during the victorian era. in that time period, the wealthy thought that their horses were treated well because they never stepped into the stable. in order to call people’s attention to horses’ hard life, sewell tells the story through the first-person narrative voice of a horse. this innovative personification of an animal made the book a real success. readers heard the stories straight from the horse’s mouth, literally, as an animal spoke of extremes of joy and suffering. people were shocked by the truth exposed by the novel and changed their attitudes towards animals.

　　sewell formed the nove

　　wuthering heights was not well received by the reading public, many of whom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnatural--and author emily bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure. it was not until 1850, when wuthering heights received a second printing with an introduction by emily's sister charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership. and from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back. today it is widely recognized as one of the great novels of english literature.

　　even so, wuthering heights continues to divide readers. it is not a pretty love story; rather, it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caught up in obsessive love that turns to dark madness. it is cruel, violent, dark and brooding, and many people find it extremely unpleasant. and yet--it possesses a grandeur of language and design, a sense of tremendous pity and great loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written.

　　the novel is told in the form of an extended flashback. after a visit to his strange landlord, a newcomer to the area desires to know the history of the family--which he receives from nelly deans, a servant who introduces us to the earnshaw family who once resided in the house known as wuthering heights. it was once a cheerful place, but old earnshaw adopted a gipsy child who he named heathcliff. and catherine,daughter of the house, found in him the perfect companion:wild, rude, and as proud and cruel as she. but although catherine loves him, even recognizes him as her soulmate, she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station. she instead marries another, and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all.

　　wuthering heights is a bit difficult to get into; the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting. but they feed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way, setting the stage for one of the most remarkable structures in all of literature, a story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations. catherine and heathcliff are equally remarkable, both vicious and cruel, and yet never able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally one may wound the other.

　　as the novel coils further into alcoholism, seduction,and one of the most elaborately imagined plans of revenge it gathers into a ghostly tone: heathcliff,driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who seems reflected in every part of his world--dragging her corpse from the grave, hearing her calling to him from the moors, escalating his brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade, so that she may never leave his mind until death itself. yes, this is madness, insanity,and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond。

　　i am not going to talk about the movie NO THIEF.

　　just now, i was told by one of my good friends that her electronic dictionary had gone. maybe someone BORROWED it PERMANENTLY. it just happened in the library of our XuHui campus.

　　several month ago, another classmate of mine lost her cellphone at the crossroad of CaoBao and GuiLin Road. the last second she still used her cellohone to receive a call, but even before the traffic light turned from red to green, she suddenly found that the phone had gone! i was at present. maybe the thief even walked away pretending to be at leisure just under my eyelid! we called 110 at once. the police came but they still could do nothing except putting on records simply. one of the police said to us that it was much more important for us to take good care of our possession than to rely on the policeman to arrest all the rampant thieves! waht he had said was really with reason and unforgotten!

　　no thief in the world! everybody hope so!

　　《儿童英语教学实用技巧》这本书是介绍了很多在教学实践中很有实用价值的、可操作性强的教学技巧，令人大开眼界。各个年级都担任过英语教学的我，触动最深的一章是儿童英语阅读教学。

　　在儿童英语阅读教学这一章讨论的是英语作为第二语言或外语教学中与儿童阅读相关的问题。而这些信息正是我国从事儿童英语教学的老师所迫切需要的。作者在开始部分就单刀直入地提出“什么是阅读？”，描述了处在不同母语发展阶段的儿童英语阅读，提供阅读教学的基本背景信息：阅读理解就是理解文章，获取信息，并享受其中的乐趣。阅读教学的核心就是教儿童如何总结他们所读的内容。人们阅读的主要目的主要有两个：首先阅读是一种娱乐形式，其次为了获取信息而阅读。这种阅读观扭正了我们长久以来阅读为了应试教学的畸形阅读观，还原了阅读的本来面目。说得多好啊：阅读是为了娱乐、阅读是为了获取信息，而不是为了做题目。只有这样，阅读才不会无味、教学才不会枯燥。作者在该书中描述了各种阅读策略和技巧，包括一些使用教材教授读写能力的具体建议。而这些正是我们想要的。在该节中，作者别开生面地介绍了许多别出心裁的阅读教学技巧。例如运用可预测的故事和语言练习图书等。

　　反观当今我国的英语教学中，虽然说了很长的一段时间要创新英语课堂，特别是阅读课的教学，但阅读教学还是相当单调的，方式还是相当单一的。不外乎是先教授新单词，然后解释一下文章的意思，再做一些练习题。《儿童英语教学实用技巧》一书中所介绍的阅读教学方法无论对于新教师或有经验的教师来说都是相当有实用价值的，正好填补了这方面信息的空白；而且操作起来也很容易，可以说是本少利大。

　　在阅读的过程中，我发现这本书有一个很大的特色，就是每一章节都会有一个“教学反思”，这一“教学反思”就该章节所阐述的观点明确地提出所要反思的内容，并且是“易位思考”，即当你是孩子时，你在学习该内容时的想法和做法，这给了我很大的冲击，在实际教学过程中，要学会以学生的角度去思考问题。

　　《儿童英语教学实用技巧》这本书没有枯燥的理论说教、没有空泛而不切实际的教法指导、没有教法式教科书式的面面俱到。在阅读的过程中，发现有那么多新颖的教学理念、教学策略和教学技巧，同时，也会使自己不断反思、校正当下的教学实践。

　　Title: The Little Prince

　　Author: Antoine de St-Exupery

　　Main Characters: The little prince, the pilot, the rose, the fox, the snake, etc.

　　Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet, I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. The tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children. This summer I’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author, Antoine de St-Exupery, The Little Prince.

　　As many other fairy-tales, the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex. “I”, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. In this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the Asteroid B612. The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.

　　On his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth.

　　Traveling on the earth, the little prince, who sees a garden of five-thousand roses, is overcome with astonishment and sadness, as he considers his rose is unique in the universe before. At that time a fox appears. The fox, who tell the little prince about the meaning of the word “tame”, becomes his new friend. At the time to say farewell, the fox makes him know that his rose is unique because she is his rose and tamed by him. From that the little prince begins to treasure friendship and be responsible to his rose.

　　At the anniversary day of his descent of the earth, rejecting the pilot’s advice, he goes back to his own planet by bite of a snake. “It’s too far. I can not carry this body with me. It’s too heavy.” he said. He tells his friend, the pilot, he must be responsible for his rose, so he has to go back. At the end the author doesn’t tell us the ending directly. Maybe it’s more significant for us to imagine, and for more, think over.

　　One of the important characters is the rose. Growing on the planet, she is very beautiful, but her coquetry and vanity suffer the little prince a lot. In spite of they love each other, he soon becomes unhappy. On the time of his departure, he just knows she certainly loves him. The character of the little prince actually represents the children, and their native thoughts and deeds. On the contrary, the inhabitants on the other planets, such as the king, the businessman and the conceited man, they also reflect the defects in the grown-up’s world. The real theme of this fairy-tale with a little sadness, I guess, is the consequence of pure love and friendship in our lives, but not others “matters of consequence” of the grown-ups.

　　Unbelievable, this little book moved me a lot. I seldom think about the true meaning of love and life before. Well, now I can say, with my short sixteen-year’s life experience, it’s like the stars in the sky that lit my heart. The little prince is not only an ordinary fairy-tale for children, but also for grown-ups, and our teenagers. Nevertheless, when I read this book, I feel a little sad – about ourselves, whom are losing more and more innocence

　　i have got a lot of interesting scientific knowledge from the books of national geographic reading expeditions, some of which are about life, physics. i really can’t help losing myself in the colorful pictures and clear words in the books. after reading the books, i have been considering a question: what if we lived without science?

　　great changes have taken place in the world with the help of science. in the past, life was nasty, brutish and short. it is hard to imagine how our forefathers could do without so many conveniences that modern science brings about. back then, only a small group of people enjoyed the very few comforts. but the majority of people didn’t even have sufficient food, let along their privilege to be educated. anyway, it is science that changes the world and makes people’s life better and better, although it also leads to some bad aspects at the same time.
