  1.Misused Nouns and Articles
  It’s very important to leam that all nouns in Englishare
  either
  COUNTABLE
  or
  UNCOUNTABLE.Unfortunately there is no rule that will tell you whether anoun is COUNTABLE or UNCOUNTABLE:It just is.Thus. an UNCOUNTABLE noun is always singular.COUNTABLE nounsshould be paid moreattention to.
  What’8 more wecan put“a”or“an”in front of each COUNTABLE noun,but UNCOUNTABLEnouns cannot.This is because“a”is a weak form of theWOrd “one”.and as you can’t count an UNCOUNTABLEnoun, yon cannot take “one”of it Therefore,UNCOUNT-ABLE nouns cannot take“a”.In a great many casesUNCOUNTABLE nouns ale used without any article atall.In other Words.COUNTABLE nouns can never occurin the singular without an article.
  2.MisUSed Verbs
  Here are some main errors:
  (1)Disagreement of Subjeet and Verb
  A.An easily correeted error is the olnission of“s”inthe Thord Persorl Singular Simple Present Tense.
  B.Errprs in using a Plural Subjeet with a SingularVerb or a Singular Subjeet with a Plural verb.
  (2)Incorrect Past Participle and Simple Past Tense
  Most verbs in English add—ed or—d to form their pasttense and their past participle which are called regularVerbs. A number of other verbs, however,are quitedifferent,which are caned irregular verbs,and each onemust be leamt separately.
  So,errors are often made from not knOWing the rightform of tIle Simple Past Tense andd the Past Participle.
  (3)The confusion of the Active Voice with the PassiveVoice
  The students should always have the followingconsciously in mind:The Active Voice is used when thesubjeet does the action while the Passive Voice is usedwhen the subject is done something to.
  (4)Auxiliary Verbs
  Remember that,as a nlle,aU Auxiliary Verbs arefollowed by the Infinitive without“to”,each of which hastheir own meanings and uses.Forthe negative,use lnly“not”. However, there are some certain verbs. notproperly Auxiliary Verbs,which are treated in this way.They are see,hear,feel,nake and fet.The most commonerrors in a passage arise from the misiise of them.Therefore,I advise students to pay particular attention tothem.
  3.Misused PronouFis
  Pronoun is a Word used instead of a noun, anadjeetive.or a numeral.
  Pronouns can be classified as follows;
  (1)Personal Pronollns:I,you,he,it,we,they,her,him…
  (2)Possessive Pronouns: my,mine;our,ours;their,theirs
  (3)Self-Pronouns:myself,himself, theraselves.itself…
  (4)Relative Pronouns;who,which,what…
  (5)Demonstrative Pronouns:this,that,tllose.these…
  (6)Indefnite Pronouns:some,any,all,none,every,each…
  (7)Interrogative Pronouns:who,which,what…
  (8)Reciproeal Pronouns:each other,one another…
  (9)Conjunctive Pronouns:who,which,what…
  Personal Pronouns express persorlal relatioilships.Subjeets haVe the rlominative form,while objects,whether direet or indireet, or prepositional, have the obieetiveform.
  There are two sets of PoSSessive Pronouns:Conjointforms and Absolute forms.when used as modifiers(justlike adjectiveS before the nouns)!,they take the first form;The second forms are used to avoid the repetition of thenouns.They are not followed by the nouns and may beused in many of the constructiotis in which noHns areused.
  Self-Pronouns are formed by adding“self”(plural:“selves”)to the genitive (possessive)case of the first andthe seeond person,and to the objeetive CaSe of the thirdperfon.They have thtee distinct llSes:reflexive,emphaticand predieative.
  4.Misused AdjectIves or Adverbs
  A modifier is a word or a group of Words which isadded to another word or a group of Words and modifiesits meaning.Modifiers are classified,aecording to theirfunetions,as(1)AdjeetiVeS Modifiers,which modify nounsand pronouns;arld (2)Adverbial Modifiers,which modifvVerbs,adjeetives and adverbs,or modify the Sellterlee as awhole.
  Besides, Adjeetives can be used as a Predieative,part of a eomplex objeet,a prepositional object or tofunetion as a noun(generally but not rlecessarily preeededby the de6nite“the”--to denote all the persons possessingthe quality meritioned by the adjective as a group,so theyare plural in meaning and take a plural verb).
  What’s more,students should pay attention to thethree degrees of eomparison of Adjeetives or Adverhs andformation(regular or irregular).

很多英语后进生之所以英语学不好,在很大程度上是因为还没有养成良好的学习习惯,所以我们要抓住每一个机会培养学生良好的学习习惯。学习习惯对于无论哪种层次的学生来说都很重要。所以,无论是哪类班级,在培养学习习惯方面都应从严要求。    一、听说读的习惯    刚进校时,很多学生都放不开胆说或读英语。我要求他们一是要大声说,说错了不要紧,但必须放开嗓门。对那些不愿张嘴的,我要求他们夸张一些,甚至像吵架一样
一、简述艺术本质    就艺术本质来说有四种观点:1.模仿说;2.理念说;3.表现说;4.形式说。模仿说即认为艺术是对自然(或现实)的模仿、再现;理念说的中心意思是在现实世界外,存在着某种支配一切的精神实体,艺术归根结底是用形象来显现那种“绝对精神”;表现说认为艺术是艺术家的情感观、心灵活动和本能欲望的表现;形式说则认为艺术的价值仅仅在于艺术作品的形式构成、艺术语言和物质媒介,而同现实的内容无关。
创新素质是当今时代的重要素质,也是素质教育的核心。托尔斯泰曾深刻地指出:如果学生在学校里学习的结果,则使自己什么也不会创造,那他的一生将永远是抄袭和模仿。为培养学生的创新思维,发现和挖掘出学生的创新潜能,必须改变社会政治教学中的老师一讲到底,满堂灌的教学方法,营造一个符合学生身心特点的、和谐民主的、推崇创新、鼓励创新的教学生活环境和氛围。笔者就在历史和社会课堂教学实践中,怎样优化课堂教学激发学生的
中学生思想道德素质和水平的提高,主要依靠两个相互联系的基本方面:一是学校、家庭和社会的引导教育,二是学生的自我教育。科学认识中学生思想道德自我教育的时代背景及其重要作用,探讨中学生开展思想道德自我教育的基本原则和具体形式,是新时期提高中学生思想道德工作有效性的重要课题。    一、时代的发展要求重视自我教育在思想道德教育中的作用    重视思想道德自我教育在人的政治思想形成中的作用,是整个时代发展
一、few的用法   1.few和a few的用法比较   few和a few在句中都可作主语、宾语和定语,用作句子主语时,接复数动词。作定语时,只修饰复数可数名词。few和a few的意思不同。few是“很少”,表示“几乎没有”,带有否定意义;afew是“少数几个”,表示虽少但有一些,带有肯定意义。如:   A few of them know English.他们当中有几个懂英语。(a few
听是人们言语交际的重要方面,也是英语学习的重要途径之一。通过听觉领悟语言是一个复杂的过程,它包括接受信息,识别、判断和理解声音信号等几个层次的心理活动。人们接受信息后,通过大脑来识别和理解每个声音信号的意义,然后做出适当的反馈。反馈的快慢、判断的正确与否,与一个人的识别和理解能力及个人的知识、经验都有着密切的联系。在实际学习中,由于听者往往难以甚至无法控制所听材料的语速、言语的清晰度以及说话者的表
信息时代要求教师具备现代的教育观和现代的教学策略。而现代教学策略的核心问题就是转变学生的学习方式和习惯。自主性学习是科学教学策略实施过程中必须关注的重要问题之一。笔者采用了“双读一写”的英语教学模式,来培养学生英语自主学习习惯。    一、双读中的一读指在阅读教学中培养学生进行自主阅读的习惯    上阅读课时,笔者一般设计以下五个教学活动:    通过这五个活动使学生能根据阅读目的,使用scan(
【摘 要】 本文论述了如何写好英语议论文:除了要论据鲜明,能够支撑提出的论点,还要从修辞的角度对论据加以润色,使论据有条有理,让读者信服。  【关键词】 议论文 写作 词汇运用 句子修饰    书面表达是目前高考英语中占大块头的主观性试题,书面表达的质量,很大程度上反映了考生的英语水平,也是高考成败的一个重要砝码。近年来,在高考写作的各种体裁中,议论文的命题比重越来越大。  以2005年浙江省高考
思想品德新课程实施已有三年了,新课程标准强调:“教学是教与学的交流互动,师生双方相互交流、相互沟通、相互启发、相互补充,在这个过程中教师与学生分享彼此的思考结果,交流彼此的情感”。现在的教师应由居高临下的权威者转向“平等中的首席”,要在师生间建立起民主、融洽的合作关系。教师不再是教学活动的主宰者,学生不再是追从者,师生处于教学中“双主体”的同等地位。这无疑是合作教学中最为关键的一对合作关系了,然而
巴甫洛夫认为:“一切教学都是各种联想的形式。”什么是联想?联想是指由所感知或所思考的事件、现象或概念的刺激而想到其他与之有关的事件、现象或概念的思维过程。世界上一切事物都是相互联系、互为影响的。语文教学中的一些知识点也不是孤立存在的,总有这样或者那样的联系,有一种联系就可以导致一种联想。为此,在语文教学中,教师能运用好“联想”这一心理现象去诱导学生从已有的知识、经验联想到与之有关的新知识,对激发学
