2023年英文俚語(yǔ)簡(jiǎn)短一

1、教育背景中寫相關(guān)課程。不要為了拼湊篇幅，把所有的課程一股腦兒地都寫上，如體育等。這樣不很有效，別人也沒耐心看。

2、獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金一項(xiàng)一行。

3、語(yǔ)言精煉，表達(dá)準(zhǔn)確。

4、加大字號(hào)。可將10號(hào)、小五改成12號(hào)、小四，方便閱讀。

5、社會(huì)作工細(xì)節(jié)放在作工經(jīng)歷中。

這樣會(huì)填補(bǔ)作工經(jīng)驗(yàn)少的缺陷，例如，您在做團(tuán)支書、畢業(yè)生會(huì)主席等社會(huì)作工時(shí)組織過(guò)什么活動(dòng)，聯(lián)系過(guò)什么事，參與過(guò)什么都可以一一羅列。

necessary terms of english contract

1.前言 preamble

一份標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英文合同通常可以分為前言（preamble）、正文（operative part）、附錄（schedule）及證明部分即結(jié)束詞（attestation）四大部分組成。 前言（preamble）由“parties”及“recitals”兩部分組成。

“parties”為必備條款，在很多時(shí)候稱為“commencement”即合同的開場(chǎng)白，主要介紹合同各方的名稱或姓名、注冊(cè)地及地址、郵編及在合同中的簡(jiǎn)稱。當(dāng)然，并不是所有的合同都要詳細(xì)介紹以上諸要素，在許多簡(jiǎn)單合同中，只是提一下各方的名稱。

i. 以下為“parties”的常用表達(dá)方式：

1. this agreement is entered into by and between ____ and ____. 本協(xié)議由以下雙方____和___ 簽署。

2. this agreement is entered into by and between ____ (hereinafter referred to as____) and ____ (hereinafter referred to as "_____"), whereby it is agreed as follows:

本協(xié)議由以下雙方____（以下簡(jiǎn)稱____）和_____（以下簡(jiǎn)稱___）簽署，達(dá)成如下協(xié)議：

注：在很多合同中，這部分加入簽約事由，如：

this agreement is entered into through friendly negotiations between _____ co.

(hereinafter referred to as the “party a”) and _____ co. (hereinafter referred to as the “party b”) based on equal

ity and mutual benefit to develop business on the terms and conditions set forth below:

本協(xié)議由_____（以下稱為甲方）和____（以下稱為乙方）為發(fā)展業(yè)務(wù)在平等互利的基礎(chǔ)上簽訂，其條款如下：

this agreement is entered into between _____ (hereinafter referred to as "company"), and ______, (hereinafter referred to as "employee") pursuant to paragraph viii(2) of the employee handbook, whereby it is agreed as follows:

本“協(xié)議”由_____（以下簡(jiǎn)稱“公司”）與_____（以下簡(jiǎn)稱“雇員”）根據(jù)“雇員手冊(cè)”第viii(2)款簽署，“協(xié)議”內(nèi)容如下：

ii. 以下為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的“parties”條款：

3. this agreement is made and entered into this _____th day of _____ in the year of ____ by and between ______, a company duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of ______, with its principal place of business at _____ (hereinafter referred to as “_____”), and ______, a company duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of _____, with its principal place of business at _____ (hereinafter referred to as “_____”), whereby it is agreed as follows:

本合約由______，在_____法律之下并憑該等法律正式組織并存在的公司，其主要營(yíng)業(yè)地點(diǎn)在______（下稱_____），與_____，在_____法律之下并憑該等法律正式組織并存在的公司，其主要營(yíng)業(yè)地點(diǎn)______（下稱代理人），于_____日簽訂和締結(jié)，協(xié)議如下：

iii. “recitals”由數(shù)個(gè)以"whereas"字樣開頭的句子所組合而成（這些句子俗稱為“whereas clauses”），表示當(dāng)事人乃是在基于對(duì)這些事實(shí)（例如訂約的目的、背景來(lái)由等）的共同認(rèn)識(shí)，訂立此合約。

4. this agreement is made and entered into this _____ day of _____ in the year of ____ by and between _______, a company duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of ______, with its principal place of business at ______ (hereinafter referred to as “_____”), and ______, a company duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of ______, with its principal place of business at ______ (hereinafter referred

to as “_____”)

witnessed

whereas, now therefore, the parties hereto agree as follows:

本合約由_____，在_____法律之下并憑該等法律正式組織并存在的公司，其主要營(yíng)業(yè)地點(diǎn)在______（下稱_____）（或下稱供應(yīng)商），與_______，在_____法律之下并憑該等法律正式組織并存在的公司，其主要營(yíng)業(yè)地點(diǎn)_

鑒于

因此，雙方當(dāng)事人達(dá)成以下協(xié)議：

注：witnessed可以用withnessth、withnessth that等來(lái)代替。

iv. 在很多美國(guó)常用合同中，在很多情況下直接用recitals引導(dǎo)數(shù)個(gè)陳述語(yǔ)句或“whereas clauses”。下面為一個(gè)資產(chǎn)購(gòu)買協(xié)議實(shí)例：

this asset purchase agreement (the "agreement") is made and entered into as of may 19, 1997 by and among aaa, a delaware corporation ("aaa"), bbb, a delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of aaa ("buyer"), ccc ("summit"), and ddd, an oregon corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of summit ("seller").

recitals

a. the boards of directors of each of summit, seller, aaa and buyer believe it is in the best interests of each company and their respective security holders that buyer acquire certain listed assets and assume certain listed liabilities of seller (the "acquisition").

b. on the date hereof, buyer has executed a $2,000,000 irrevocable purchase order to purchase 400 time-based licenses for summit's visual hdl interfaces for visual test bench ("vtb") software on aaa's standard form of purchase order, which is payable within five (5) business days after the date hereof.

now, therefore, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

2.定義 definition

在正文（habendum）部分，通常第一章為定義（definitions）部分。

定義條款即對(duì)合同中涉及的術(shù)語(yǔ)及名詞作出限定、解釋的條款。它可以散見于合同各個(gè)部分，但對(duì)于一些大型的、重要的合同，通常將其置于第一章。

i. 常見的定義語(yǔ)句常用mean, refer to, be construed as, include等來(lái)表達(dá)。如：

1. "territory" means the united states of america.“銷售地區(qū)”是指美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)。

2. “commencement date” shall mean the date of signing this agreement by the last signing party hereto.

“協(xié)議生效日”是指本“協(xié)議”最后簽字的一方簽署本“協(xié)議”的日期。

3. the “agreement” herein referred to shall mean this agreement of agency by entrustment.

“協(xié)議”在這里是指本委托代理協(xié)議。

4. “code” shall refer to the current and applicable internal revenue code.

“法”是指當(dāng)前可用的國(guó)內(nèi)稅收法。

5. reference to any statutory provision shall be construed as a reference to the same as it may have been, or may from time be, amended, modified or re-enacted.

引用法律規(guī)定理解為引用其本身外，還包括其修訂、修正或重新實(shí)施案。

6. "expenses" include costs, charges and expenses of every description. “費(fèi)用”包括各種形式的金錢支出。

ii. 還有一類特殊的定義語(yǔ)句，即對(duì)于「單、復(fù)數(shù)」及「陰、陽(yáng)性」名詞的范圍定義。通常都是用include來(lái)表達(dá)：

1. "stock certificate" includes "stock certificate" and "stock certificates".

合同中的“股票”，包括單數(shù)與復(fù)數(shù)。

2. "he" includes "he" and "she".

合同中的“他”，包括“他”與“她”。

3. words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number.

采用單數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)的單詞也包括復(fù)數(shù)或單數(shù)。

iii. 定義語(yǔ)句中，有時(shí)需限定范圍。而通常用得最多的是：“for the purpose of ”及“in relation to”某概念的定義條款，如果適用范圍僅限于合同的“特定部份”，可以用“for the purpose of ”來(lái)為定義條款起頭。而如果定義條款是針對(duì)合同的“特定概念”，就用“in relation to”來(lái)界定。如下例：

1. for the purpose of this agreement, "products" means all types of the machineries manufactured by manufacturer as are specified in attachment

a hereto.

本協(xié)議所稱的“產(chǎn)品”，指制造人所制造如附件a表列之各式機(jī)器。

2. "address" means－

(a) 就自然人而言in relation to an inpidual, his usual residential or business address; and

(b) in relation to a corporation, its registered or principal office in the republic of china.

“地址”就自然人而言，指通常之居所或工作場(chǎng)所；就公司而言，指位于中華人民共和國(guó)之注冊(cè)所在地或主營(yíng)業(yè)所。

iv. 在定義條款中，在定義語(yǔ)句前有時(shí)會(huì)加上一些陳述語(yǔ)句來(lái)引導(dǎo)，如：

短小精悍，也很容易懂。

there was once a bridge which spanned a large river. during most of the day the bridge sat with its length running up and down the river paralleled with the banks, allowing ships to pass thru freely on both sides of the bridge. but at certain times each day, a train would come along and the bridge would be turned sideways across the river, allowing a train to cross it.

a switchman sat in a small shack on one side of the river where he operated the controls to turn the bridge and lock it into place as the train crossed. one evening as the switchman was waiting for the last train of the day to come, he looked off into the distance thru the dimming twilight and caught sight of the trainlights. he stepped to the control and waited until the train was within a prescribed distance when he was to turn the bridge. he turned the bridge into position, but, to his horror, he found the locking control did not work. if the bridge was not securely in position it would wobble back and forth at the ends when the train came onto it, causing the train to jump the track and go crashing into the river. this would be a passenger train with many people aboard. he left the bridge turned across the river, and hurried across the bridge to the other side of the river where there was a lever switch he could hold to operate the lock manually. he would have to hold the lever back firmly as the train crossed. he could hear the rumble of the train now, and he took hold of the lever and leaned backward to apply his weight to it, locking the bridge. he kept applying the pressure to keep the mechanism locked. many lives depended on this man‘s strength.

then, coming across the bridge from the direction of his control shack, he heard a sound that made his blood run cold. "daddy, where are you?" his four-year-old son was crossing the bridge to look for him. his first impulse was to cry out to the child, "run! run!" but the train was too close; the tiny legs would never make it across the bridge in time. the man almost left his lever to run and snatch up his son and carry him to safety. but he realized that he could not get back to the lever. either the people on the train or his little son must die. he took a moment to make his decision.

the train sped safely and swiftly on its way, and no one aboard was even aware of the tiny broken body thrown mercilessly into the river by the onrushing train. nor were they aware of the pitiful figure of the sobbing man, still clinging tightly to the locking lever long after the train had passed. they did not see him walking home more slowly than he had ever walked: to tell his wife how their son had brutally died.

now if you comprehend the emotions which went this man‘s heart, you can begin to understand the feelings of our father in heaven when he sacrificed his son to bridge the gap between us and eternal life. can there be any wonder that he caused the earth to tremble and the skies to darken when his son died? how does he feel when we speed along thru life without giving a thought to what was done for us thru jesus christ?

a letter written to a man on death row by the father of the man whom the man on death row had killed:

you are probably surprised that i, of all people, am writing a letter to you, but i ask you to read it in its entirety and consider its request seriously. as the father of the man whom you took part in murdering, i have something very important to say to you.

i forgive you. with all my heart, i forgive you. i realize it may be hard for you to believe, but i really do. at your trial, when you confessed to your part in the events that cost my son his life and asked for my forgiveness, i immediately granted you that forgiving love from my heart. i can only hope you believe me and will accept my forgiveness.

but this is not all i have to say to you. i want to make you an offer -- i want you to become my adopted child. you see, my son who died was my only child, and i now want to share my life with you and leave my riches to you. this may not make sense to you or anyone else, but i believe you are worth the offer. i have arranged matters so that if you will receive my offer of forgiveness, not only will you be pardoned for your crime, but you also will be set free from your imprisonment, and your sentence of death will be dismissed. at that point, you will become my adopted child and heir to all my riches.

i realize this is a risky offer for me to make to you -- you might be tempted to reject my offer completely -- but i make it to you without reservation.

also, i realize it may seem foolish to make such an offer to one who cost my son his life, but i now have a great love and an unchangeable forgiveness in my heart for you.

finally, you may be concerned that once you accept my offer you may do something to cause you to be denied your rights as an heir to my wealth. nothing could be further from the truth. if i can forgive you for your part in my son‘s death, i can forgive you for anything. i know you never will be perfect, but you do not have to be perfect to receive my offer. besides, i believe that once you have accepted my offer and begin to experience the riches that will come to you from me, that your primary (though not always) response will be gratitude and loyalty.

some would call me foolish for my offer to you, but i wish for you to call me your father.

sincerely,

the father of jesus

bob richards, the former pole-vault champion, shares a moving story about a skinny young boy who loved football with all his heart.

practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had. but being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. at all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench and hardly ever played.

this teenager lived alone with his father, and the two of them had a very special relationship. even though the son was always on the bench, his father was always in the stands cheering. he never missed a game. this young man was still the smallest of the class when he entered high school. but his father continued to encourage him but also made it very clear that he did not have to play football if he didn‘t want to.

but the young man loved football and decided to hang in there he was determined to try his best at every practice, and perhaps he‘d get to play when he became a senior. all through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a bench-warmer all four years. his faithful father was always in the stands, always with words of encouragement for him. when the young man went to college, he decided to try out for the football team as a "walk-on." everyone was sure he could never make the cut, but he did.

the coach admitted that he kept him on the roster because he always puts his heart and soul to every practice, and at the same time, provided the other members with the spirit and hustle they badly needed.

the news that he had survived the cut thrilled him so much that he rushed to the nearest phone and called his father. his father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games. this persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but he never got to play in a game.

it was the end of his senior football season, and as he trotted onto the practice field shortly before the big playoff game, the coach met him with a telegram. the young man read the telegram and he became deathly silent. swallowing hard, he mumbled to the coach, "my father died this morning. is it all right if i miss practice today?" the coach put his arm gently around his shoulder and said, "take the rest of the week off, son. and don‘t even plan to come back to the game on saturday."

saturday arrived, and the game was not going well. in the third quarter,when the team was ten points behind, a silent young man quietly slipped into the empty locker room and put on his football gear. as he ran onto the sidelines, the coach and his players were astounded to see their faithful teammate back so soon. "coach, please let me play. i‘ve just got to play today," said the young man. the coach pretended not to hear him. there was no way he wanted his worst player in this close playoff game. but the young man persisted, and finally feeling sorry for the kid, the coach gave in. "all right," he said."you can go in." before long, the coach, the players and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes. this little unknown, who had never played before was doing everything right. the opposing team could not stop him. he ran, he passed, blocked, and tackled like a star. his team began to triumph. the score was soon tied. in the closing seconds of the game, this kid intercepted a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown. the fans broke loose. his teammates hoisted him onto their shoulders. such cheering you never heard.

finally, after the stands had emptied and the team had showered and left the locker room, the coach noticed that this young man was sitting quietly in the corner all alone the coach came to him and said, " kid, i can‘t believe it. you were fantastic! tell me what got into you? how did you do it?"

he looked at the coach, with tears in his eyes, and said, "well, you knew my dad died, but did you know that my dad was blind?" the young man swallowed hard and forced a smile, "dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could see me play, and i wanted to show him i could do it!"

like the athlete‘s father, god is always there cheering for us. he‘s always reminding us to go on. he‘s even offering us his hand for he knows what is best, and is willing to give us what we need and not simply what we want. god has never missed a single game. what a joy to know that life is meaningful if lived for the highest. live for him for he‘s watching us in the game of life!

the park bench was deserted as i sat down to read beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree. disillusioned by life with good reason to frown, for the world was intent on dragging me down.

and if that weren‘t enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. he stood right before me with his head tilted down and said with great excitement, "look what i found!"

in his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, with its petals all worn - not enough rain, or too little light. wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play, i faked a small smile and then shifted away.

but instead of retreating he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with surprise, "it sure smells pretty and it‘s beautiful, too. that‘s why i picked it; here, it‘s for you."

the weed before me was dying or dead. not vibrant of colors, orange, yellow or red. but i knew i must take it, or he might never leave. so i reached for the flower, and replied, "just what i need."

but instead of him placing the flower in my hand, he held it mid-air without reason or plan. it was then that i noticed for the very first time, that weed-toting boy could not see: he was blind.

i heard my voice quiver, tears shone like the sun. as i thanked him for picking the very best one. "you‘re welcome," he smiled, and then ran off to play, unaware of the impact he‘d had on my day.

i sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. how did he know of my self-indulged plight? perhaps from his heart, he‘d been blessed with true sight.

through the eyes of a blind child, at last i could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. and for all of those times i myself had been blind, i vowed to see beauty, and appreciate every second that‘s mine.

and then i held that wilted flower up to my nose and breathed in the fragrance of a beautiful rose and smiled as that young boy, another weed in his hand about to change the life of an unsuspecting old man.

a great and wise man once called one of his workmen to him saying, "go into the far country and build for me a house. the decisions of planning and of actual construction will be yours, but remember, i shall come to accept your work for a very special friend of mine."

and so the workman departed with a light heart for his field of labor. material of all kinds was plentiful here, but the workman had a mind of his own. "surely," he thought, "i know my business. i can use a bit of inferior materials here and cheat on my workmanship a little there, and still make the finished work look good. only i will know that what i have built has weaknesses."

and so, at last the work was completed and the workman reported back to the great and wise man. "very good," he said. "now remember that i wanted you to use only the finest materials and craftsmanship in this house because i wanted to make present of it——my friend, you are the one i had you build it for. it is all yours."

attitude is everything

by francie baltazar-schwartz

jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. he was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. when someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "if i were any better, i would be twins!"

he was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. the reason the waiters followed jerry was because of his attitude. he was a natural motivator. if an employee was having a bad day, jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

seeing this really made me curious, so one day i went up to jerry and asked him, "i don‘t get it! you can‘t be a positive person all of the time. how do you do it?" jerry replied, "each morning i wake up and say to myself, jerry, you have two choices today. you can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.‘ i choose to be in a good mood. each time something bad happens, i can choose to be a victim or i can choose to learn from it. i choose to learn from it. every time someone comes to me complaining, i can choose to accept their complaining or i can point out the positive side of life. i choose the positive side of life."

"yeah, right, it‘s not that easy," i protested.

"yes it is," jerry said. "life is all about choices. when you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. you choose how you react to situations. you choose how people will affect your mood. you choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. the bottom line: it‘s your choice how you live life."

i reflected on what jerry said. soon thereafter, i left the restaurant industry to start my own business. we lost touch, but often thought about him when i made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.

several years later, i heard that jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. while trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. the robbers panicked and shot him. luckily, jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. after 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.

i saw jerry about six months after the accident. when i asked him how he was, he replied, "if i were any better, i‘d be twins. wanna see my scars?"

i declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. "the first thing that went through my mind was that i should have locked the back door," jerry replied. "then, as i lay on the floor, i remembered that i had two choices: i could choose to live, or i could choose to die. i chose to live.

"weren‘t you scared? did you lose consciousness?" i asked. jerry continued, "the paramedics were great. they kept telling me i was going to be fine. but when they wheeled me into the emergency room and i saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, i got really scared. in their eyes, i read, ‘he‘s a dead man. " i knew i needed to take action."

"what did you do?" i asked.

"well, there was a big, burly nurse shouting questions at me," said jerry. "she asked if i was allergic to anything. ‘yes,‘ i replied. the doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply.. i took a deep breath and yelled, ‘bullets!‘ over their laughter, i told them, ‘i am choosing to live. operate on me as if i am alive, not dead."

jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. i learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. attitude, after all, is everything.

從這篇文章里面，我至少感受到兩點(diǎn)：第一，人的潛力是無(wú)窮的，很多時(shí)候你認(rèn)為自己做不到的事情，其實(shí)可以。就像一些看似根深蒂固的習(xí)慣，其實(shí)可以改變。第二，正如文中所說(shuō)，言語(yǔ)的傷害有時(shí)候比身體的傷害更嚴(yán)重，這個(gè)道理誰(shuí)都懂，但是文中所用的比喻真的太絕妙。

the fence

there was a little boy with a bad temper. his father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence. the first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. then it gradually dwindled down. he discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. finally the day came when the boy didn‘t lose his temper at all. he told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. the days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. the father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. he said, "you have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. the fence will never be the same. when you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. you can put a knife in a man and draw it out. it won‘t matter how many times you say i‘m sorry, the wound is still there. a verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. they make you smile and encourage you to succeed. they lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.

a grandmother and a little girl whose face was sprinkled with bright red freckles spent the day at the zoo.

the children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws.

"you‘ve got so many freckles, there‘s no place to paint!" a boy in the line cried.

embarrassed, the little girl dropped her head. her grandmother knelt down next to her. "i love your freckles," she said.

"not me," the girl replied.

"well, when i was a little girl i always wanted freckles" she said, tracing her finger across the child‘s cheek. "freckles are beautiful!"

the girl looked up. "really?" "of course," said the grandmother. "why, just name me one thing that‘s prettier than freckles."

the little girl peered into the old woman‘s smiling face. "wrinkles," she answered softly.

給海陽(yáng)中英文的感謝信

今天我是作為一名已經(jīng)畢業(yè)的學(xué)生家長(zhǎng)寫給貴校的一封感謝信。

先說(shuō)我兒子的基本情況：2013年海陽(yáng)中英文復(fù)讀15班。班主任，孫志偉。孩子初中四年住校，由于家長(zhǎng)的疏忽養(yǎng)成了玩游戲的惡習(xí)。初三開始打游戲，到初四逆反非常嚴(yán)重，所以讀高中是花錢上的。記得當(dāng)時(shí)中考的第一天考試結(jié)束，我問(wèn)他考的怎樣？他說(shuō)挺好的，當(dāng)天晚上就在家看電視，中考成績(jī)可想而知！本以為中考考?jí)牧?，到高中?yīng)該好好學(xué)了，可是由于網(wǎng)癮的習(xí)慣，高中三年又是玩完了，我經(jīng)常深更半夜到網(wǎng)吧去找人。高考前三個(gè)月，就是三月八號(hào)，他打籃球把腳扭了，不能上學(xué)了，他跟我說(shuō)，想?yún)⒓觽€(gè)輔導(dǎo)班自己學(xué)習(xí)，于是就給他報(bào)名輔導(dǎo)班，前后花費(fèi)了一萬(wàn)多。當(dāng)然效果還是有的，記得當(dāng)時(shí)第一次模擬考試成績(jī)380，2012年高考成績(jī)490，差幾分到三本線。也就是說(shuō)在高考前的這三個(gè)月時(shí)間里，他的成績(jī)提高了100分。由于差幾分沒到三本線，所以他最后選擇了復(fù)讀，來(lái)到了海陽(yáng)中英文學(xué)校。經(jīng)過(guò)一年的學(xué)習(xí)，2013年高考成績(jī)是548，離當(dāng)年一本線6分之差，最后錄取在鄭州大學(xué)西亞斯國(guó)際學(xué)院。后來(lái)聽說(shuō)這是一所三本學(xué)校，他依然放棄了，重新參加復(fù)讀。這一年，他沒有再選擇海陽(yáng)中英文，而是回到了原來(lái)的煙臺(tái)二中南校。理由是，中英文太苦了，他已經(jīng)經(jīng)歷過(guò)了，不需要再到那里磨練，在煙臺(tái)二中，有父母陪伴著，一樣可以用心學(xué)習(xí)。2014年高考成績(jī)608，超出一本線36分，被錄取在青島理工大學(xué)土木學(xué)院。

之所以要寫這封信，是為了給后來(lái)想復(fù)讀的學(xué)生們一個(gè)參考：復(fù)讀就選海陽(yáng)中英文！因?yàn)楹ｊ?yáng)中英文改變了孩子的一生！

以下就是我要說(shuō)的幾點(diǎn)理由：

一是學(xué)校管理嚴(yán)格。記得剛?cè)W(xué)校報(bào)到的第一天，我和他爸一起送他去的，當(dāng)時(shí)帶的行李非常多又重，有吃的，有穿的，有被褥等等日常生活用品，按照常理，我們會(huì)到宿舍給孩子把床位鋪好，安頓好了家長(zhǎng)再離開，可是想不到的是，學(xué)校規(guī)定，家長(zhǎng)只能在學(xué)校大門口止步，一切東西由學(xué)生自己搬運(yùn)。當(dāng)時(shí)我說(shuō)，沒事，我一會(huì)就幫他弄好了，于是一只腳踏進(jìn)了學(xué)校大門，被保安一把追回來(lái)，他說(shuō)，“大姐，請(qǐng)你原諒，這里有監(jiān)控，你進(jìn)去了，我的飯碗也就砸了！”那一刻我對(duì)學(xué)校的印象就有了改變：管得真嚴(yán)啊！后來(lái)聽孩子回來(lái)講的，老師說(shuō)，我們都是社會(huì)青年了，不能讓父母再操心了!這是觀念的改變，讓孩子認(rèn)識(shí)到他已經(jīng)長(zhǎng)大成人了，應(yīng)該承擔(dān)成人的責(zé)任！這期間，學(xué)校開除了一名學(xué)習(xí)很好的學(xué)生，原因是晚上逃夜，學(xué)校零容忍。這件事對(duì)他觸動(dòng)很大，這么好的學(xué)生學(xué)校竟然舍得開除！

二是激發(fā)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)激情。學(xué)校每隔一段時(shí)間就會(huì)讓學(xué)生看電影，按說(shuō)時(shí)間這么緊，哪有時(shí)間看電影？親，這是勵(lì)志電影，孩子回來(lái)說(shuō)，老師可真好，讓我們看電影，第一次可把我樂(lè)壞了，這里真好??！后來(lái)才知道，原來(lái)學(xué)校每隔一段時(shí)間就放一次電影，就像給我們打雞血一樣，看完電影立馬就有動(dòng)力學(xué)習(xí)了。當(dāng)懈怠下來(lái)時(shí)，再讓我們看電影，又有動(dòng)力了！我聽了，只能偷著樂(lè)。

三是老師勇于承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤。入學(xué)第一天，學(xué)校沒有熱水，校長(zhǎng)給他們做動(dòng)員講話的第一句話就是：對(duì)不起，同學(xué)們，讓你們受苦了，由于我的責(zé)任沒有讓你們喝上熱水！孩子說(shuō)，媽媽，這是第一次聽到校長(zhǎng)給學(xué)生認(rèn)錯(cuò)，在以前的學(xué)校從來(lái)沒有老師承認(rèn)自己是錯(cuò)誤的，所以孩子對(duì)老師和學(xué)校有了新認(rèn)識(shí)。

四是教育孩子感恩。以前孩子從來(lái)不會(huì)幫父母干家務(wù)，但是每次大約一個(gè)月的時(shí)間他放假回來(lái)，總是會(huì)自己洗襪子什么的，還會(huì)說(shuō)一些感謝父母的話，再也不會(huì)說(shuō)發(fā)牢騷的話了。原來(lái)是老師的教育在起作用，他說(shuō)，以前不知道父母的辛苦，每月回家一次，很想家。雖然在學(xué)校很累，但是回到家里卻沒有怨言。

五是老師善于引導(dǎo)學(xué)生自學(xué)。中英文的老師，部分是大專畢業(yè)，按說(shuō)他們的知識(shí)水平也許還不如在讀的學(xué)生，但是這并不影響他們提高學(xué)生的成績(jī)，因?yàn)槔蠋熓且龑?dǎo)學(xué)生自學(xué)，現(xiàn)在的輔導(dǎo)材料很多，只要會(huì)自學(xué)，學(xué)生完全可以自己看懂教材。

六是改變了孩子的一生。由于以上種種原因，孩子學(xué)會(huì)了知書達(dá)理，善解人意，感恩父母，感恩社會(huì)，直至銳變成一個(gè)充滿正能量的好青年！

現(xiàn)在孩子已經(jīng)上大學(xué)了，在大學(xué)里面他如魚得水，比高中還好學(xué)！而不是像部分大學(xué)生一樣，認(rèn)為進(jìn)了大學(xué)的門就可以放松自己。他參加社團(tuán)，競(jìng)選班委；哪里只要有他的身影，就會(huì)有正能量的放射。一個(gè)充滿陽(yáng)光的大學(xué)生！

我所以要感謝海陽(yáng)中英文，是因?yàn)槭撬龓椭宋业暮⒆?，讓孩子得到了重生；我感謝中英文，是因?yàn)槭撬炀攘宋覀冞@個(gè)家庭；我感謝中英文，是因?yàn)槭撬秊樯鐣?huì)添加了一名好青年，減少了一名危害社會(huì)的青年。

我再次感謝海陽(yáng)中英文！祝愿海陽(yáng)中英文越辦越好！僅以此文代表我的謝意！
