Xian, the eternal city, records
the great changes of the Chinese nation just like
a living history book. Called Chang'an
in ancient times, Xian is one of the
birthplaces
of
the
ancient
civilization
in
the
Yellow
River
Basin
area
of
the
country.
During
Xian's
3,100
year
development,
13
dynasties
such
as
Western
Zhou
(11th
century
BC
- 771 BC), Qin (221 BC - 206 BC), Western Han (206
BC - 24 AD) and Tang (618 -
907)
placed
their
capitals
here.
So
far,
Xian
enjoys
equal
fame
with
Athens,
Cairo,
and Rome as one of the four major
ancient civilization capitals.
Xian is the
capital of Shaanxi province, located in the
southern part of the
Guanzhong
Plain.
With
the
Qinling
Mountains
to
the
south
and
the
Weihe
River
to
the
north, it is in a favorable
geographical location surrounded by water and
hills.
It has a semi-moist monsoon
climate and there is a clear distinction between
the
four seasons. Except the colder
winter, any season is relatively suitable for
traveling.
The
cultural
and
historical
significance
of
Xian,
as
well
as
the
abundant
relics
and
sites,
help
Shaanxi
enjoy
the
laudatory
title
of
'Natural
History
Museum'.
The
Museum of Terra Cotta
Warriors and Horses is praised as 'the eighth
major miracle
of the world', Mausoleum
of Emperor Qin Shi Huang is listed on the World
Heritage
List, and the City Wall of the
Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644) is the largest and most
intact Ming Dynasty castle in the
world. In the city, there is the 3,000 years old
Banpo Village Remains from the
Neolithic Age (approximately from 8000 BC to 5000
BC),
and
the
Forest
of
Stone
Steles
that
holds
3,000
stone
steles
of
different
periods
from the Han Dynasty to the Qing
Dynasty. Around Xian, the Famen Temple enjoys the
reputation of being the 'forefather of
pagodas and temples in Central Shaanxi,'
because
it
holds
the
finger
bones
of
Sakyamuni
--
the
founder
of
Buddhism.
The
natural
landscape around
Xian is also marvelous n one of the five best-
known
mountains in China, is famous for
its breath-taking cliffs and its unique
characteristics.
Traditional downtown Xian refers to the
area encircled by the city wall, this
has now been expanded to encompass the
area within the second ring road (Er' huan
Lu). The Bell Tower is the geographical
center of Xian and the four main streets
are respectively Dong Dajie, Xi Dajie,
Nan Dajie and Bei Dajie which are also the
main
commercial
streets.
Xiao
Zhai,
the
busiest
commercial
area
is
in
the
southern
part
of
the
city
and
is
popular
with
both
youths
and
students
since
many
universities
are located here. Shuyuan Men and the
still under construction Luoma Shi are
must-visit
pedestrian
streets
in the city. Xian is also
famous for its
quantity of
colleges throughout China. The old
campuses of many colleges and universities are
massed in the southern suburb of Xian,
but most have established new campuses in
far southern suburb - Chang'an District
due to the lack of space within the city.
As
tourist development grows in Xian, the hotel
industry flourishes more and
more. It
is very easy to find a hotel in Xian, ranging from
5 star hotels to youth
hostels.
Of
course,
it
will
be
any
traveler's
first
choice
to
stay
in
the
city
center
due to the superior
geographical location and the convenient
transportation.
Praised
as
'the
capital
of
table
delicacies',
Xian
has
been
rich
in
the
delicious
Shaanxi snack,
delicate Guangdong Cuisine, various kinds of
fashionable foreign
delicacies,
and
popular
Sichuan
Cuisine
such
as
the
hot
pot.
Among
all
the
delicacies,
the most famous
and popular one is the Muslim Snack Street.
Xian is the most important city in
northwest China, and so there are a lot of
shopping
outlets
for
locals
and
tourists
alike.
There
are
many
big
shopping
centers,
department stores
and supermarkets in and around Xian city - the
biggest and most
comprehensive being
Kai Yuan Shopping Mall and Century Ginwa Shopping
Mall.
The

再好
的英语学习计划不去执行就如同废纸一张,
对于自制力较弱的孩子来说尤其
如此。如何才能更好地执行家庭学习计划呢?
再好的英语学习计划不去执行就如同废纸一张,
对于自制力较弱的孩子来说
尤其如此。如何才能更好地执行家庭学习计划呢<
/p>
?
这里有几点小小的体会,拿来
和您分享
。
一、
制定计划前,与孩子进行充分的沟通,让孩子有选择和决定的权利。
“明明,你认为每天用多少时间能
够复习好英文
?
是二十分钟还是三十分
钟?”这样的对话既在家长的掌握之中,
又使孩子有了自己决定学习计划的感觉,
便于孩子自觉执行。
所以,
有可能,
家长应该和孩子一起通过讨论来制定学习计
划,而不是在孩子毫无准备时
扔给他一张让他不高兴的写满字的纸。
二、计划执行过程当中,要及时发现问题,为孩子创造条件来
执行计划,并
在孩子缺乏信心或不情愿时鼓励和监督他。
家长不可因为一时心软就说:
p>
“今天太累了,
可以不读英文了。
”家长的
态
度将破坏计划在孩子心目中的权威性,
因为他们认为家长在传
递一种信息:
计划
也可以不做。
三、计划执行一段时间后的效果需
要家长来帮助发现,并且要及时发现。
孩子如果种了一粒种子,
就希望它能
马上生根、
开花结果。
家长们需要及时
发现孩子由于实施计划而带来的效果,
并尽快反馈给他,
让孩子
收获成就感,
了
解辛苦执行计划的意义所在。
< br>将孩子的进步展示出来,
让全家都来分享也是家庭
生活中
的一件快事。

少儿英语教学
的目标是培养少儿学习英语的兴趣、
英语语感和初步使用英语
进
行简单日常交流的能力,
为进一步的学习打下基础,
针对少儿年
龄特点,
少儿
英语教学可从以下几方面入手:
< br>
一、针对少儿年龄特点、兴趣爱好选择教学内容
少儿
3--6
岁的这一年龄阶段,为学
前期,学前期是少儿语言发展和身心等
其他方面发展的关键时期。
少儿英语教学的内容可选择少儿感兴趣的主题,
由近
及远,由
易到难,循序渐进地进行。其内容可包括:动物、玩具、颜色、数字、
食物等等,
可先在
3
—
4
岁年龄段教简单的单词,
到
4
—
6
岁的年龄段再进行简单
的
口语教学,如先学习
Pear(
梨子
)
、
Cat(
小猫
)
、
Banana(
香蕉
)
等单词读音后,
再由易至难,提升至短语及口语
对话:
Give
me
a
pear
,
please!(
< br>请给我一个梨
子
)
、
It
is
a
dog
(
它是一只小狗
)
,让少儿在这一年龄
段中得到适宜的阶段性学
习。
二、让英语教学充满趣味性
游戏是少儿生活中不可缺少的一部
分。
对少儿年龄特点及爱玩的天性,
教师
可有针对性地、
灵活地将—些新颖、
有趣的游戏与教学内容结
合起来。
“兴趣是
最好的老师”,教师可以充分利用英语游戏、
歌曲、童谣、绘画等多种形式动静
结合,激发少儿想学英语、喜欢英语的兴趣。如:学习
颜色单词。让参加游戏的
学生头戴一种颜色的头饰。两位学生碰面用“Yellow
yellow/Blue blue??,
you
are <
/p>
mine?”猜拳,错误者必须做正确者的“小尾巴”。游戏继续进行,最
后成为长龙的“头头”者为游戏的胜利者。
这样,
将趣
味性融人教学中,
让少儿
高兴地投入到游戏中的同时,
既学到了口语的交流对话,
又培养了少儿开朗的性
格和主动团结他人的品格。
