英语读书笔记 篇1

I first read "Jane Eyre" in eighth grade and have read it every few years since. It is one of my favorite novels, and so much more than a gothic romance to me, although thats how I probably would have defined it at age 13. I have always been struck, haunted in a way, by the characters - Jane and Mr. Rochester. They take on new depth every time I meet them.。.and theirs is a love story for the ages.

Charlotte Brontes first published novel, and her most noted work, is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story. Jane is plain, poor, alone and unprotected, but due to her fierce independence and strong will she grows and is able to defy societys expectations of her. This is definitely feminist literature, published in 1847, way before the beginning of any feminist movement. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the novel has had such a wide following since it first came on the market. It is also one of the first gothic romances published and defines the genre.

Jane Eyre, who is our narrator, was born into a poor family. Her parents died when she was a small child and the little girl was sent to live with her Uncle and Aunt Reed at Gateshead. Janes Uncle truly cared for her and showed his affection openly, but Mrs. Reed seemed to hate the orphan, and neglected her while she pampered and spoiled her own children. This unfair treatment emphasized Janes status as an unwanted outsider. She was often punished harshly. On one occasion her nasty cousin Jack picked a fight with her. Jane tried to defend herself and was locked in the terrifying "Red Room" as a result. Janes Uncle Reed had died in this room a little while before, and Mrs. Reed knew how frightened she was of the chamber. Since Jane is the narrator, the reader is given a first-hand impression of the childs feelings, her heightened emotional state at being imprisoned. Indeed, she seems almost like an hysterical child, filled with terror and rage. She repeatedly calls her condition in life "unjust" and is filled with bitterness. Looking into the mirror Jane sees a distorted image of herself. She views her reflection and sees a "strange little figure," or "tiny phantom." Jane has not learned yet to subordinate her passions to her reason. Her passions still erupt unchecked. Her isolation in the Red Room is a presentiment of her later isolation from almost every society and community. This powerful, beautifully written scene never fails to move me.

Mrs. Reed decided to send Jane away to the Lowood School, a poor institution run by Mr. Brocklehurst, who believed that suffering made grand people. All the children there were neglected, except to receive harsh punishment when any mistake was made. At Lowood, Jane met Helen Burns, a young woman a little older than Jane, who guided her with vision, light and love for the rest of her life. Janes need for love was so great. It really becomes obvious in this first friendship. Helen later died from fever, in Janes arms. Her illness and death could have been avoided if more attention had been paid to the youths. Jane stayed at Lowood for ten years, eight as a student and two as a teacher. Tired and depressed by her surroundings, Jane applied for the position of governess and found employment at Thornfield. The mansion is owned by a gentleman named Edward Fairfax Rochester. Her job there was to teach his ward, an adorable little French girl, Adele. Over a long period the moody, inscrutable Rochester confides in Jane and she in him. The two form an unlikely friendship and eventually fall in love. Again, Janes need for love comes to the fore, as does her passionate nature. She blooms. A dark, gothic figure, Rochester also has a heart filled with the hope of true love and future happiness with Jane. Ironically, he has brought all his misery, past and future, on himself.

All is not as it seems at Thornfield. There is a strange, ominous woman servant, Grace Poole, who lives and works in an attic room. She keeps to herself and is rarely seen. From the first, however, Jane has sensed bizarre happenings at night, when everyone is asleep 。There are wild cries along with violent attempts on Rochesters life by a seemingly unknown person. Jane wonders why no one investigates Mrs. Poole. Then a strange man visits Thornfield and mysteriously disappears with Mr. Rochester. Late that night Jane is asked to sit with the man while the lord of the house seeks a doctors help. The man has been seriously wounded and is weak from loss of blood. He leaves by coach, in a sorry state, first thing in the morning. Janes questions are not answered directly. This visit will have dire consequences on all involved. An explosive secret revealed will destroy all the joyful plans that Jane and Rochester have made. Jane, once more will face poverty and isolation.

Charlotte Brontes heroine Jane Eyre, may not have been graced with beauty or money, but she had a spirit of fire and was filled with integrity and a sense of independence - character traits that never waned in spite of all the oppression she encountered in life. Ms. Bronte brings to the fore in "Jane Eyre" such issues as: the relations between men and women in the mid-19 century, womens equality, the treatment of children and of women, religious faith and hypocrisy (and the difference between the two)， the realization of selfhood, and the nature of love and passion. This is a powerhouse of a novel filled with romance, mystery and passions. It is at once startlingly fresh and a portrait of the times. Ms. Bronte will make your heart beat faster, your pulse race and your eyes fill with tears.

Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in myopinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectlyreflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave thepeople in her works vivid characters.

The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman whomakes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly youngman, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feelsuperior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane issimple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl whoalways has her own opinion.

Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant.) Kitty doesn’thave her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl whofollows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When Iread the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. Thatis why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britainin the 18th century.

The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favouritetopic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratumsituation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can findthese from the very beginning of this book.

Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies inthis perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. AlthoughAusten was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observationof social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively.

The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plotis as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride andPrejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, herbook still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at hertime and in modern time.

英语读书笔记 篇3

根据英语词汇教学的特点和学生的身心发展特点及学习英语的实际要解决词汇教学难点应从提高学生学习兴趣入手尽可能增强课堂趣味性努力吸引学生的注意力；同时应加强学法指导尤其对反应迟钝、记忆力差的学生首先要教会他们单词的读音及拼写的规律读准、掌握好音标。因为只有学生先掌握了发音能听、能说方可更快地学好书面语言如果学生听不懂单词的发音或说出的单词别人听不懂记再多的单词也起不到口头交际的作用。

1．激发兴趣体验成功。

心理学研究认为兴趣是以需要为基础的凡符合需要的事物都可能引起人的兴趣。学生的兴趣正是以学生对知识的需要而产生的它既是过去学习的产物也是促进今后学习的手段。一方面要对学生进行学习目的性的教育尽量为他们创设机会让他们体会到成功的喜悦以增强他们的学习自信心克服畏难情绪从而激发学习兴趣唤起主体意识发挥主动精神。另一方面在实践中要经常组织学生开展一些趣味性的活动让他们的知识得到及时的使用和巩固同时采用灵活多样的教学方式、建立和谐融洽的新型师生关系、营造轻松愉悦的学习氛围努力使尽可能多的学生参与到课堂教学中来“亲其师信其道”引导学生逐步由“要我学”到“我要学”。

2．分层施教各尽所能

在教学中对不同层次的学生提出不同的掌握词汇的要求为不同层次的学生创造更多成功和发展的机会充分发掘他们的潜能层层递进使每位学生都能各得其所。如由于不同学习水平的学生对同一新知识的掌握所需的时间有差异因此在词汇教学中针对词汇量多、拼读难的特点可以安排五分钟时间指导学习困难学生反复认读、理解掌握；而基础好的学生则可通过归纳反义词、近义词、词类转换及用词造句等方式进一步拓展和提高从而达到不同程度学生共同发展的目的。同时还可开展异质组互助合作学习增加各层次学生的参与以结对子形式以优带差为学习困难学生提供学习和发展的机会。

3．加强音形义的联系

掌握词的最佳途径之一是把音、形、义结合起来激活具体的语言行为动员学生动脑、动口、动手以保证输入的信息进入长期产生性记忆。要解决音和形的联系应先培养学生按字母、字母组合的读音规则拼读单词的能力。按字母、字母组合读音规则拼读拼写单词是培养学生见词能读、听音能写的最佳途径。

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 forts. 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.

Recently,I have just finished reading a famous novel written by Margaret mitchell—“Gone with the Wind”,which is one of the most popular works among American novels.It took the auther about 10 years to finish this great novel,the only novel in her life. The story happened during the Civil War eve.Scarlett O'Hara,a 16-year-old girl,who was living in Tala manor in Georgia,was loving her neighbor Ashley Wilkes.However,after the war have broken out, Ashley Wilkes married his yonger cousin Melanie. Scarlett was so angry that she decided to marry a man she didn?t really love---- Charles Hamilton.Not long after that, Charles Hamilton joined the Army and died of illness in the war.So Scarlett had to act as a widow.Afterwards,at a donating dance party,Scarlett is acquainted with a captain named Rhett Butler. Then the flames of war approached Atlanta.Everyone was busy leaving away from the war.Scarlett managed to escape from Atlanta with the help of captain Rhett.Having come back to Tala manor,Scarlett made up her mind to rally her homeland at any cost when she saw that the former manor had been ruined.Later,her second husband died in the fight,she was a widow again.Durling that time, Rhett had been loving Scarlett sincerely and warmly.Seeing that Rhett could help her rally the manor,Scarlett married

him.Although Rhett had similar characteristic attracting her,Scarlett still loved Ashley.Later,their only daughter died accidently,Rhett left Scarlett sorrowly.And then Scarlett realized that Rhett was the only one who could fall in love with her.

The novel takes the US Civil War as the background.It takes Scarlett?s individual activity as the thread.The book show us a tragic love story .A couple who could have a perfect future,but finnally go in opposite direction.As a matter of fact,their charactristics have decided their tragic result inevitably.We feel sorry about the end because we are looking forward to a perfect end,just like Scarlett and Rhett.In fact,ferfect is always a excessive damand.

I affirm Rhett.He brings excitement to Scarlett?s life and encourages her impulse to change and succeed.Like Scarlett,he goes after what he wants and refuses to take ?no? for an answer.He is humorous,intelligent and cynical with a hint of treason.He is really a respectable man.I think he finnally left because of love .Otherwise,he couldn?t have gone without hesitation.

Ashley Wilkes is the foil to Rhett?s dark, realistic opportunism.If there was no Civil War,he is surely a nobility of grace and charm.But history cannot be changed.He bocame a victim of the war.His era was gone with the defeat of the war.At the same time,we cannot deny the

fact that he had a chear understanding about reality,which just contribute to his tragedy.

In this book,what I appreciate most is not Melanie?skindness or Rheet?s dedication and patience,but Scarlett?s courage to throw her long-standing morality and tradition whe faced with diffiiculties.At the beginning of the war,she didn?t care about this.In her world are endless dinner parties and dance parties.In her body are her father?s brave Irish blood and her mother?s noble French pure blood.She had a vast farm as her home.She had hundreds of slaves.This is Scarlett.,a member of noblity,proud and different.However,the war changed everything.Her mother died of illness.Her father become silent and the farm was nearly deserted.Even food became a big problem.All the pressure was put on Scarlett?s shoulder.She must feed a family of 9 people in it.What a big difference of level.If all this happened to someone else,he or she may choose to escape.On the contrary,Scarlett choose to face the change of life bravely.How can we not admire her courage of to change herself.Life is like a mountain.The road can?t be completely smooth.When we fall down from the peak,we may get hert ,we may get disappointed,we may feel despair.But if you want to survive,you must stand up to face it.

It is obvious that is really a good book,even if a long time has passed away,it is still suitable for today?s

society.It is of great importance to change ourselves,change our value even our thoughts when our life chages.

On the other hand,I think there is no real perfect in the world.Everybody has his shortcomings.It is necessary for us to learn to forgive others? faults.If we keep good-tempered,Ibelieve there will be more comedy and less tragedy.

Jane Eyre is a first-person narrative of the title character, a small, plain-faced, intelligent and honest English orphan. The novel goes through five distinct stages: Jane's childhood at Gateshead, where she is abused by her aunt and cousins; her education at Lowood School, where she acquires friends and role models but also suffers privations; her time as the governess of Thornfield Manor, where she falls in love with her Byronic employer, Edward Rochester; her time with the Rivers family at Marsh's End (or Moor House) and Morton, where her cold clergyman-cousin St John Rivers proposes to her; and her reunion with and marriage to her beloved Rochester at his house of Ferndean. Partly autobiographical, the novel abounds with social criticism and sinister gothic elements.
