谈应试英语的实用性 600字初中英语作文
近几天，英期中考试阅读题出现了“股票”一单词，同学们竟然不认识，“股票”在生活中应用之广，是人们所共知的，然而高中生这种超级常用的单词都不会，不是一种讽刺吗？
中国人学英语是一种纯粹的应试心理，只要会答题就行了，的观点，已经在人们的心中根深蒂固，就不知我们引以为傲的所谓“知识点”，在外国人眼睛里甚是可笑，就像我们看外国人一遍遍学汉语语法，一遍一遍背单词一样可笑，孰不知外国人学汉语极其重视应用而不是考试，他们记下来的语法、单词可以运用自如，而我们记下来的语法单词，要用的话得先考虑一番，很明显，外国人学汉语当作语言来学，中国人学英语都是当作一门学科——数学、物理、化学一样的学科。
如果说中国人最失败的改革是教育改革，那么教育改革中我认为最失败的英语改革。中国人学英语完全出于一种攀比心理，并且很完美的继承了陶渊明师父的不求甚解，并把它发扬光大，有过之而无不及。举个例子吧，高中生竞先学习新概念三，新概念四，可我认为这完全没有必要，因为作为高中生把新概念二学好就足够了。从程度上来说新概念三学完之后托福雅思几乎可以接近满分了，而新概念四学完后国内外任何考试几乎可以应对自如了。而中国高中生在高一、高二就学完新概念四了，可是考试还过不了130分，这难道不可笑，难道高中考试已经比托福、雅思、SAT、GRE等考试还难么？一定不是，只是中国恶心的英语教育制度“伟大”的作用效果罢了，
我真为我们的中国学生悲哀！
Seize the Day
Carp diem, as very popular notion, is my attitude towards life. Some people stand against hedonism, while I believe gaining pleasure is one of the most important things in one's life. I disagree with the doctrine of asceticism which doesn't allow physical pleasures.
Time will pass anyway, so I want to seize the day. I wish to revel to my heart's delight. I enjoy lounging around all day without getting out in inclement weather. Sometimes I put up everything else to play video games to my heart's content.
I believe I need time to daydream instead of constantly living a strict life. I am tired of going about daily business, fighting for fame, let alone others.
I prefer to lead an indolent life without being fastidious about too many things. I have to admit that I can't withstand the strains of being a busy worker. As a result, it's advisable to get to relax when necessary.
When people are under great stress, they are more probably to make mistakes and lose confidence. One useful way to cope with stress is relaxation.
A great number of people start from the bottom, but only few people have worked their way to the top. However, the former still need to do the best to make themselves happy. Seize the day, because the life is only once.
