我的课余生活很丰富，比如：学舞蹈、学英语、弹钢琴……期中，我最喜欢学英语。
我从幼儿园就开始学习英语了。刚开始学习时只是因为上英语课的时候，能和小朋友一起玩游戏、唱英语歌曲，觉得非常有趣，所以才走进这个英语学习班。随着学习内容的深入，学习时间的增加，我也曾有过放弃学习英语的念头，甚至还为这件事哭过鼻子。但是，当我想起“持之以恒”的故事时，我觉得自己克服困难，继续坚持下去。
妈妈很赞同我的做法。为此，还表扬了我。
去年，我参加了“人教派斯杯”全国少年儿童英语风采大赛。当我顺利地通过初赛的时候，全家都为我感到高兴。当我通过复赛，获得了到北京参加决赛的机会时，全家人更为我欢呼。
去年暑假，我和爸爸妈妈一起开开心心去北京参加比赛，虽然我只拿到了一个“优秀奖”，但是妈妈鼓励我说比赛重在参与。
我的课余生活不但给我带来了快乐，也给全家人带来了快乐。

I want to be a painter, because I compete with my mother every night to draw a picture in half an hour. Every time I draw a picture, my mother says that I have a talent for drawing. In art class, I draw very well. Maybe my teacher praised me too. I am very happy, so I have to work hard to draw.
I also want to be a fashion designer, because I can help children who have no clothes to design clothes. I need to draw clothes well before I design them, and then help others.

It makes their dreams come true.

On Sunday morning, my father and I got up early and drove to Guanghan Ocean Hall. I saw posters of many marine animals.
We bought tickets and went to the second floor of the ocean hall. A group of turtles were swimming and playing in the pond. It was lovely. The little crocodile slept comfortably in the water.
After seeing many marine animals, we came to the playground. It's fun here, trampoline, slide, car... I played all the fun once.
We also watch sea lions and mermaids. I had a happy day.

快乐是什么？怎样才能快乐？在成人的眼中，这是一个很复杂的问题，那么在小孩子的眼中快乐是什么呢？快乐也许很简单，也许是吃完饭后大大地打一个嗝，也许是和小狗一起跑步，也许是得到老师的一个赞赏的眼神……那么在小学英教学中，怎样进行快乐的教学呢，我有一些自己的想法和建议。
快乐教学还有另一个名字叫“愉快教育”，即能充分调动学生的学习积极性，使教育融合于教学中，融合于全部课外活动中，既提高了学生的知识技能，又发展了他们的个体，真正体现“教师为主导，学生为主体”的双边性，使学生动、活泼，学生身心愉悦的教学。
其实，很早的时候就有中外大思想家和教育家提到快乐教育。如《论语》开篇就载有孔子对愉快教学的认识“学而时习之，不亦乐乎？”孔子这时已经认识到学习者的兴趣和爱好对学习效果有着不同程度的影响，并将“乐学”作为治学的最高境界“知之者不如好之者，好之者不如乐之者”。苏格拉底开创的愉快教学思想，被他的学生亚里斯多德和古罗马教育家昆体良所继承和发扬。由此，我感觉到已初步涉及到尊重儿童，因材施教，教育目的，师生关系等方面，也许这就是愉快教学思想初露端倪。
其次，为了更好地进行快乐教学，应该建立良好的师生关系。快乐教学，简单地说就是寓教于乐，让学生愉快地接受知识。它始终注意发挥以愉快为核心的各种情感的积极作用，运用各种教学手段创设愉快的教学情境，让学生在愉快的情境中最大限度地表现出各自的认知需要，并主动积极地开展生动活泼的学习活动，达到良好的学习效果。让学生乐于学习，在愉快轻松的氛围中掌握知识，获得教育。良好的师生关系则是教育教学的润滑剂，因此良好的师生关系便成为愉快教学成功实施的重要基础。我认为可以从以下几方面做起：
一是以爱为本，真正尊重、信任学生。都说没有爱就没有教育，爱是教育的灵魂，愉快教学也是充满爱的教学。要建立良好的师生关系，教师必须树立“以爱为本”的观念，真正关心爱护每一个学生，做学生的良师益友，善于与学生沟通。教师对学生倾注爱，必然会唤起学生对老师的爱，师生之间形成良好的心理氛围。“亲其师，信其道”就是这个道理。二是改革传统的教学手段与方法。我们要帮助学生不断获得学习上的成功，从而建立“成功――快乐――兴趣浓厚”的良性循环机制，形成自觉自主的学习机制，实现从“要我学”向“我要学”的转变。运用多种教学手段和方法，创设民主、平等、愉快、和谐的课堂氛围，最大限度地为学生提供各抒己见的机会，也在客观上促进了师生之间愉快的交流与沟通。
小学英语课堂教学就是要尽最大限度地引起学生的学习兴趣，为学生提供足够的机会用英语进行活动，让学生感受到运用所学语言成功地达到某种目的后的愉快。这是小学生的年龄特点和英语学科的特殊性所决定的`。要使小学生能够在40分钟的时间内保持良好的学习状态，教师必须根据不同的教学内容创设各种情景，做到教学情景化。其实，我们可以做的还有很多，比如，运用现代化多媒体手段、教唱英语歌、游戏情境设计等等。我相信，只要我们坚持为了一切学生，为了学生的一切，再加上关心爱护每一个学生，并运用运用各种各样的现代化教学手段，我们一定可以让我们的孩子们发自内心地大声喊：我学英语，我快乐！

The elusive secret of happiness could be as simple as remembering the good times and forgetting the regrets, a new university study reported yesterday.
For people who look at the past through rose-tinted glasses are happier than those who focus on negative past experiences and regrets, according to a new study published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences.
The study helps explain why personality has such a strong influence on a person's happiness and the findings suggest that people with certain personality traits are happier than others because of the way they think about their past, present and future.
The study examined how peoples' ratings on the "Big Five" personality traits relates to their approach to time and life satisfaction.
The "Big Five" model assesses how extroverted, neurotic, open, conscientious and agreeable a person is, and rates individuals as high or low on each personality trait rather than assigning them a personality type.
"We found that highly extraverted people are happier with their lives because they tend to hold a positive, nostalgic view of the past and are less likely to have negative thoughts and regrets. People high on the neurotic scale essentially have the exact opposite view of the past and are less happy as a result," said Ryan Howell, assistant professor of psychology at San Francisco State University, who authored the study with SF State graduating senior Jia Wei Zhang.
"This is good news because although it may be difficult to change your personality, you may be able to alter your view of time and boost your happiness," Howell said.
The authors suggest that savoring happy memories or reframing painful past experiences in a positive light could be effective ways for individuals to increase their life satisfaction.
Numerous studies over the last 30 years have suggested that personality is a powerful predictor of a person's life satisfaction. These latest findings help explain the reason behind this relationship.
"Personality traits influence how people look at the past, present and future and it is these different perspectives on time which drive a person's happiness," Howell said.
快乐的秘诀难以捉摸，但也可以很简单。昨日发布的一项新的大学研究报告称，快乐的秘诀就是：记住美好的时光，忘记遗憾的往事。
这篇发表在《个性与个体差异》杂志上的新研究报告称，那些以极度乐观的精神看待过去的人比那些专注于过往不愉快经历和遗憾往事的人更快乐。
研究解释了人的个性为何会对个人的快乐感有强大的影响力。研究结果显示，具有某些特定个性特征的人比其他人要快乐，因为他们看待自己的过去、现在和未来的方式有所不同。
该研究按照“五大个性特征”给人们打分，并将个性特征和人们对光阴和生活的满意度联系起来。
“五大个性特征”模式对一个人的外向程度、神经质程度、开明程度、责任心和随和与否做出评价，标出每个人每项个性特征的程度高低，而不是给他们指定一种个性类型。
旧金山州立大学的心理学助理教授莱恩?豪威尔说：“我们发现，非常外向的人对自己的生活更满意，因为他们一般会用积极、怀旧的目光来看待过往，对过去不大会有消极的想法和遗憾。特别神经质的人看待过去的方式则正好相反，因而也就比较不快乐。”一同撰写该研究报告的还有旧金山州立大学即将毕业的大四学生张家玮（音译）。
豪威尔说：“这是好消息，因为尽管你难以改变自己的个性，但是你可以改变自己看待过去的方式，从而提升你的幸福感。”
报告的作者指出，享受快乐的回忆，用积极的眼光看待伤痛的过往，会有效地增进个人对生活的满意度。
在过去三十年内开展的多项研究都指出，个性可以有效地预示个人对生活的满意度。这些最新的研究发现有助于解释这两者关系背后的原因。
豪威尔说：“个性影响人们看待过去、现在和未来的方式，正是这些对于人生的不同视角影响着个人的幸福感。”

今天是除夕,上午,鞭炮声劈啪劈啪的响个不停。只要你向外面看一看,到处都是红红的鞭炮，汇成了一条红海。各家人都把自己家打扮的漂漂亮亮的，好像在比美似的。我家也不例外,扫地、擦玻璃、擦柜子等。准备新年的到来。

贴完春联，我们就开始包饺子。为了添吉祥，我们还在一个饺子里包了一个硬币。吃晚饭时，我夹了一个饺子，一吃 “咯”的一声，吃出一个硬币全家人都为我鼓掌，说我今年有福气。吃完饺子，我们又看了春节联欢晚会，我最喜欢刘谦的魔术

dear dad。
today i was at the shopping mall and i spent a lot of time reading the father’s day cards. they all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how i feel about you. yet as i selected and read, and selected and read again, it occurred to me that not a single card said what i really want to say to you.
you’ll soon be 84 years old, dad, and you and i will have had 55 father’s days together. i haven’t always been with you on father’s day nor have i been with you for all of your birthdays. it wasn’t because i didn’t want to be with you. i’ve always been with you in my heart but sometimes life gets in the way.
you know, dad, there was a time when we were not only separated by the generation gap but completely polarized by it. you stood on one side of the great divide and i on the other, father and daughter split apart by age and experience, opinions, hairstyles, cosmetics, clothing, curfews, music, and boys.
the father-daughter duel of ’54 shifted into high gear when you taught me to drive the old dodge and i decided i would drive the ‘54 chevy whether you liked it or not. the police officer who escorted me home after you reported the chevy stolen late one evening was too young to understand father-daughter politics and too old to have much tolerance for a snotty 16 year old. you were so decent about it, dad, and i think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.
our relationship improved immensely when i married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we begin making babies right and left. we didn’t have a television set, you know, and we had to entertain ourselves somehow. i didn’t know what to expect of you and mom as grandparents but i didn’t have to wait long to find out. those babies adored you then just as they adore you now. when i see you with all your grandchildren, i know you’ve given them the finest gift a grandparent can give. you’ve given them yourself.
somewhere along the line, the generation gap evaporated. age separates us now and little else. we agree on most everything, perhaps because we’ve learned there isn’t much worth disagreeing about. however, i would like to mention that fly fishing isn’t all you’ve cracked it up to be, dad. you can say what you want about wrist action and stance and blah, blah, blah...
i’ve been happily drifting for a lot of years, dad, and i didn’t see you getting older.
i suppose i saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine. numbers never seemed important. but the oddest thing happened last week. i was at a stop sign and i watched as you turned the corner in your car. it didn’t immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. it was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. perhaps i saw your age for the first time that day. or maybe i saw my own.
fifty years ago this spring we planted kohlrabi together in a garden in charles city, iowa.
i didn’t know then that i would remember that day for the rest of my life. this week, we’ll plant kohlrabi together again, perhaps for the last time but i hope not. i don’t understand why planting kohlrabi with you is so important to me but it is. and the funny thing about it is, well, i don’t know quite how to tell you this, dad...i don’t even like kohlrabi...but i like planting it with you.
i guess what i’m trying to say, dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their dad today. honoring a father on father’s day is about more than a dad who brings home a paycheck, shares a dinner table, and attends school functions, graduations, and weddings. it isn’t even so much about kohlrabi, ’54 chevrolets, and fly-fishing. it’s more about unconditionally loving children who are snotty and stubborn, who know everything and won’t listen to anyone. it’s about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. it’s about loving someone more than words can say，and it’s wishing that it never had to end.
