the name "cheongsam," meaning simply "long dress," entered the english vocabulary from the dialect of china's guangdong province (cantonese). in other parts of the country including beijing, however, it is known as "qipao", which has a history behind it.

when the early manchu rulers came to china proper, they organized certain people, mainly manchus, into "banners" (qi) and called them "banner people" (qiren), which then became loosely the name of all manchus. the manchu women wore normally a one-piece dress which, likewise, came to be called "qipao" or "banner dress." although the 1911 revolution toppled the rule of the qing (manchu) dynasty, the female dress survived the political change and, with later improvements, has become the traditional dress for chinese women.

easy to slip on and comfortable to wear, the cheongsam fits well the female chinese figure. its neck is high, collar closed, and its sleeves may be either short, medium or full length, depending on season and taste. the dress is buttoned on the right side, with a loose chest, a fitting waist, and slits up from the sides, all of which combine to set off the beauty of the female shape.

the cheongsam is not too complicated to make. nor does it call for too much material, for there are no accessories like belts, scarves, sashes or frills to go with it.

another beauty of the cheongsam is that, made of different materials and to varying lengths, they can be worn either on casual or formal occasions. in either case, it creates an impression of simple and quiet charm, elegance and neatness. no wonder it is so much liked by women not only of china but of foreign countries as well.

旗袍是具有中国特色的女性服饰，在国际高级时装世界日益普及。

名为“旗袍”的意思是“长礼服，从中国的广东省方言进入英语词汇(粤语)。然而在全国包括北京在内的其他地区，它被称为“旗袍”，其背后的历史。

当早期满族统治者来到中国市区，他们组织了一些人，主要是满族人，为“旗帜”(齐)，称他们为“旗人”(旗人)，然后所有满洲人的名字。满族妇女通常穿的连衣裙，同样地，来到被称为“旗袍”或“旗帜的衣服。”虽然1911革命了清朝的统治(满族)王朝，女性服饰幸存下来的政治变革，后来的改进，已成为中国妇女的传统服饰。

易滑，穿着舒适，旗袍很适合中国的女性形象。它的脖子很高，衣领关闭，它的袖子可能是短，中等或全长，取决于季节和味道。衣服的纽扣在右边，一个松散的胸部，一个合适的腰，和缝了从边上，所有这一切都将掀起女性形状的美。

旗袍是不太复杂的制作。也不需要太多的物质，因为没有配件如皮带、围巾、腰带或装饰用它去。

另一个美丽的旗袍，用不同的材料和不同的长度，他们可以穿上休闲或正式场合。在任何情况下，它创建简单和安静的魅力印象，优雅和整洁。难怪有这么多喜欢的妇女不仅是中国，但外国的。

what life is about

as we all know, the most important thing in life is our attitude towards it, tons of men have tried different ways of treating life, and some succeeded, some failed, and here are some of the tips they left us.

life isn’t about keeping score. life isn’t about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin. in fact it’s not about if you have lots of friends or if you are alone, and it’s not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. life just isn’t about that.

but life is about whom you love and who you hurt. it’s about how you feel about yourself. it’s about trust, happiness and compassion. it’s about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and building confidence. it’s about what you say and what you mean. it’s about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. and we should always remember to be ourselves. other might have things that we desire but being what we really are is the only trail leading to the true colors of life. most of all, it’s about choosing to use your life to touch someone else’s in a way that could have never been achieved otherwise.

the paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers; we buy more but enjoy them less. we’ve learnt how to make a living but not a life, we’ve added years to life, but not life to years. and it is time for us to choose whether to make a difference in our life.

and these choices are what life is about.

生活的真谛

众所周知，关于生活最重要的我们对待生活的态度，不同的人以不同的方式对待生活，一些人成功了，一些人失败了。这里有一些关于生活的帖士给我们大家。

生活不是为了保持高分，生活也不仅仅是你的鞋子、你的发型和你的肤色。实际上，生活也不只是你拥有多少朋友，或者你是否孤独;生活也不仅仅意味着你被别人接受与否。生活并不仅仅是这些。

但是，生活是关于你所爱的和你所伤害的那些人。生活就是你对自己的所有感觉。它是关于信任、幸福和包容。它是你对朋友的支持和如何用爱来融化内心的憎恨。生活就是远离嫉妒、克服无知和建立信心。生活是关于你的言行和思想。

生活就是关注人的自身，而不是关注别人的拥有。而且我们必须记住保持我们的本色。虽然，生活的另一面令我们向往，但保持我们的本色是通往生活真谛的必由之路。总之，生活就是用你整个的生命去触摸其他人从未企及的选择。在生活的长河中也常常令我们困惑和矛盾，我们拥有越来越高大的建筑，但我们也越来越缺乏耐心;我们购买的物质越来越多，但我们从中得到的快乐越来越少。我们学习如何活着但那却不是生活;人类的寿命越来越长，但有意义的生活并因此而延长。因此，现在正是我们选择使我们的人生变得不同凡响的时候了。初中英语演讲稿这些选择就是生活的真谛。

英语故事演讲稿篇8

各位家长，大家下午好！

我是本学期担任四（1）班英语教学的韦老师，很多家长也许是第一次见到我，大家彼此间可能比较陌生。首先，我想和各位家长谈谈两个礼拜下来，我对这个班级，学生英语情况的印象。这个班级的学生对英语学习的兴趣还是比较浓厚的，这两个礼拜，从课堂中的反应可以看出。每次我用多媒体课件上课，学生学习新知识的热情是高涨的。这说明，四（1）班的孩子在英语学习上拥有一定的优势。但是，本班学生整体动作很慢，不容各位家长忽视，两周多的学习下来，只有×××、×××等5位同学，基本上课堂上能很顺畅地完成我布置的练习。其他同学都是定定心心，一笔一划地书写，在第一个礼拜，黑板上的词组抄写，我就发现，有很多同学在抄写词组的时候，喜欢看一个字母写一个字母，这样以来，10个英文词组都要抄写5分钟左右。在某种程度上，动作慢，就是体现了某个知识点的不熟练性。

两周多下来，我们已经教了两个单元，第一单元在默写本默写过一次，在英语纸上默写了1次，总体成绩一般。我带了3——6年级两个大循环，比较熟悉这套英语教材，知道学生在各个年级段，该掌握到怎样一个程度。四年级的英语学习，在整个小学阶段处于一个绝对的主导作用，因为三到四年级的转换中，对学生英语学习的要求发生了质的变化，也许，你的孩子在三年级的时候，英语也没怎么多花功夫，也没去参加什么业余辅导或者培训，英语成绩基本在90以上，甚至是95分左右。那么，随着时间的推移，你会发现，你的孩子依然像三年级那样，回家后读读书、听听磁带，偶尔看看做过的英语试卷，那么英语成绩并不会像三年级那么相对优异了。四年级，英语的背诵和默写是相当重要的，培养孩子一个背诵和默写的习惯，就是在培养孩子对英语知识反馈的重要途径。所以，这归根结底，又会涉及到孩子的作业速度。速度快了，时间就挤出来了，就有时间多背背多默默，那么，他所学知识的较之前所拥有的，也就扎实了，这样，质量也就出来了。其实，这是最理想化的`良性循环的学习方式。家长真的只是监督而不是陪做，这适用于每门科目，不仅仅是英语的学习。下面，说说在我的英语教学中，一些常规性的工作。 1、在英语作业本方面，基本是1号、2号、自备本。一般

情况下，英语作业会记在当天所要做的那本本子上，自备本一般是回家默写本。

2、每个孩子准备一本《英语笔记本》，记录下每一个单元

相关的重要知识，有些是语法点，有些是注意点，有些是常错误点。总之，英语笔记本的作用是相当大的，因为是刚开学，英语笔记本上，记得也不多。接下来的时间，我会充分利用好这本英语笔记本，也请家长留下这样一个概念：英语笔记本上的内容是精华部分，是重要知识点，是您的孩子在考卷、练习中出错的习题。每天回去读、背笔记本上的内容也是孩子每天的必修课。读多少可以控制，但是要形成读、背的习惯。

3、4a英语书上、每个单元的a、e部分逐个到老师这里

过关，我会在过关的部分做好记号，一目了然，家长可以随时看您的孩子，哪一课过关了，哪一课还不是很熟练，需要再加强读背的。

4、英语预习方面，听读课文磁带非常重要，预习时，整个

单元的录音，至少听上三遍。a部分是短文；b部分是单词；c、d部分是本单元句型练习。e部分是小对话。r部分是语音。g部分是内容延伸。在预习英语时，a部分在预习时，可以翻译成中文，b部分熟读，c、d部分，按照提示的句型结构，试着先写写。预习工作，做得越扎实，也就越能保障在课堂中学习的效率。

总之，提高本班同学的作业速度，是我们三位主课老师以及在座各位家长的当务之急，应该说是刻不容缓。让你的孩子养成自觉学习的好习惯，成为学习的主人，老师作为学习的引领者，家长作为督促者，真正让孩子相对地学的轻松，但是学得扎实、有效！
