我们都知道学英语需要有一些材料。现在市场上相关的书籍真是琳琅满目。可是这些材料哪些才是适合我们自己的呢?下面一起来看看吧。
个人觉得VOA是学英语最好的材料之一,通过VOA我们可以学到很多原滋原味的英文。包括地道的发音,俚语,最新词汇等等。
下面给大家介绍一些英语新闻,是一些比较适合练习听力的材料。供大家参考:
比如VOA、BBC和CCTV英语新闻、China Daily(中国日报)、China Today(今日中国)等英语新闻节目、报刊,都是为讲英语的人而设计制作的,是绝对地道的英语,而且涉及内容十分广泛,形式多种多样,包括政治、经济、科技、军事、教育、文化、体育、医学、宗教、历史、世界热点问题以及风土人情等社会生活的方方面面,通常还有一些新闻人物的谈话录音。
有声新闻材料的语音、语调、节奏、停顿通常都很自然、准确,说话者声音之间常可能有重叠现象,也可能有背景声音、停顿以及不完整的句子等等,而这些都是语言真实性的反映,是英语学习最好的素材。
而且这些材料大家都可以很容易找到的。比如VOA很多网站都有,CCTV英文频道独家都可以看得到。
但是 无论是哪种内容的新闻,大多数都采取新闻报道常用的所谓“导言法”进行报道。导言开门见山直接展示新闻最重要的内容。
新闻报道的这种独特而又基本的结构也被称为 “倒金字塔”(inverted pyramid)结构。这样安排内容,便于把最重要、最精彩、最吸引人的部分放在最前面,形成导言,而次要的部分紧随其后,构成补充或细节说明,最不重要的部分则安排在最后,作为背景材料。
新闻报道导言一般有六个基本要素,即5个W和1个H,也就是Who(何人)、What(何事)、When(何时)、Where(何地)、Why(何故)及 How(如何),这6个基本要素勾画出一则新闻报道的内容。
了解英语新闻的特点,便于理解其含义,进而了解其内容。
我相信通过这些英语新闻大家不仅可以锻炼听力,也可以学好发音,口语等。就靠大家平时的积累和练习了!

我们都知道学习英语,听力是第一步,选择怎么样的材料最适合听力练习呢?小编建议大家,教材不在于多,在于精,我们发现有时候我们买了太多的材料,结果没有一本完全看完的,所以选择教材的时候选择一本或者两本就足够。能把一本教材读透了,你的英语水平一定会大有突破的。那么,我们应该怎样选择英语听力练习材料呢?
下面我为大家讲解一下如何选择英语听力材料。
听力本身的提高源于听力词汇量(即指听到后能立刻反应其意思的词汇)的增大与对不同地方口音的识别能力的加强。就词汇量而言,需要根据读者自身情况进行因材施教,一般而言,该材料的阅读生词量(即指看到后能直接反应其意思的词汇)应控制在5%以内,类似《走遍美国》(Family Album),《空中美语教室》(Studio Classroom)等都比较适合推荐给有一定英语基础的读者,而《色拉英语》(Salad English)则适合基础相对较薄弱的读者循序渐进,因为其词汇量的安排也是由浅入深的一个变化过程。
以上材料的一大共同特色,也是学习听力的教材所必须具备的,是以场景为单位的安排模式。该模式从生活实用性角度而言是最为科学的。当读者具备一定词汇量后可以开始涉足一些电影材料的学习,但就选材而言,以生活片、伦理片、爱情片等为宜,诸如《阿甘正传》(Forrest Gump)、《公主日记》(Princess Diary)等。因为这些片种更接近日常生活的表达,因此其词汇的选择更为实用,尤其值得一提的是Disney的真人片一般都简单易懂贴近生活。应当注意避免使用以动作片为代表的语言含量过少的片种,以及以科幻片为代表的词汇过难的片种,类似《黑衣人》(Man in Black)、《星球大战》(Star Wars)等恰恰两者兼而有之。
就口音识别能力的提高,则需要尽量接触各种类型的发音特色,这一点在选材上较为困难,一般而言BBC能满足对英音的需求,而VOA则能满足对美音的需求,但两者就词汇量而言还是有一定难度,尤其是它们都以新闻素材为主。
因此就英音和美音而言,推荐使用《新概念英语》(New Concept English),该教材本来就有4册按难度排列,另外也有英音和美音版的音像素材可供学习,当然,早期的一些类似《英语900句》之类的教材的配套听力素材对听说能力相对薄弱的同学来说,也不失为一种不错的选择。
而其他的一些发音特色往往比较难以获得,类似《阿甘正传》(Forrest Gump)的阿拉巴马音(Alabama Tone)为美国南部乡村发音特色;一些动画中的发音夸张化特色,尤以Disney为甚;而西班牙音,亦称拉丁音,主要源于拉丁美洲人进入美国后所产生,该发音在美国电影中经常可以接触到,诸如《越狱》中菲尔南多·苏克雷(Sucre)等,但如果要典型的浓重拉丁口音,则需要从雅思考试(IELTS)的一些素材中予以提取,有时间或可以在一些英语版的拉美片中找到其综计;印度音在中国相对最难接触到,但如果身边公司里有印度的工作人员,往往可以进行一些刻意的交谈来熟悉其口音特色;日本音是除了主流发音特色外在中国相对最为容易接触到的一种发音特点,一是因为中国日本公司本来就很多,其次日剧、日本动漫等大量涌入国内,而日语中现在也很盛行直接使用一些英语的外来语,所以多接触些日剧或日本动漫,无疑对提高日式英语的识别能力也有一定帮助。
听写练习是听力的升级版本,素材基本可以以一些速度相对较慢的学术性材料为主,类似BBC、VOA、VOA SPECIAL、CRI、CRI SPECIAL等都是非常不错的练习素材。当然,也可以使用类似一些考试所使用的素材来进行提高,类似4、6级的文章类素材、雅思考试素材、托福考试素材等。
大家也可以利用网上学英语听力,现在很多网站都有VOA,BBC,CRI等听力频道,大家也可以下载MP3格式的下来学习。总之希望大家多多训练!熟能生巧!

之前的句子听写不要求写原文中的句子,只要句意正确即可,而且即使考生无法写出全部句子,只要写出一部分句子也是可以得分的,但改革之后要求考生要填写原文的词组,稍有不慎该题就不得分,所以改革之后的题目更不易得分。本文介绍了如何在短文听写部分取得高分。
短文听写部分的录音会放三遍,每一遍都有不同的作用:录音放第一遍时,考生需要跟着录音走,边听边记下能填出的空,如果要填写的单词较长,可以暂时简写;录音放第二遍时,考生要重点听第一遍没有听出来的词或词组,尽量把所有空都补齐,把第一遍没有写完整的单词补充完整;录音放第三遍时,要核对已经填出的词或词组,对于前两遍没有听出的单词要尽可能地听出来。在这三遍放录音时,考生要注意眼神扫视的速度要快,比录音先一步到空格处,集中精神听空处的词或词组,提高听力效率。

很多人也许现在正在苦恼,为什么英语学习如此困难啊,其实英语学习重要的的培养兴趣,.培养对英语的兴趣并不难.当我们可以说点儿简单的英语,用英语与别人或与老外交谈,或作别人的翻译时,我们就可以从英语学习中得到满足感和成就感,这样,兴趣就培养起来了。
一般英语学习者,在全面提高英语的前提下,要提高听、说能力,应首先注意以下三点:
1.注意区分和模仿正确的语音、语调在英语里有不少读音相近,但意思却截然不同的词汇,象cure[kjue](医愈)和 kill[kill](杀死),menu(菜单)和manure(肥料)等。设想如果有一个医生想说:"I'll cure you."(我要治好你的病。)却因发音不好,说成:"I'll kill you."(我要杀死你。)那病人会吓成什么样子。又比如,有人对你说:" I am thirty.My wife is thirty,too."而你听到的却是:" I am dirty. My wife is dirty,too."你一定会莫名其妙。实际上,所差之外就是一个音素。因此,我们从一开始就要注意区分和模仿正确的语音,语调。在这个基础上提高听、说,才能收到良好效果。
2.创造一定的听、说环境听、说是一种语言交流,没有一个外语环境或一定的听、说条件,只靠单枪匹马很难收效。当然,现代科学为我们提供了录音机这一工具,我们可以把课文,对话和中外成品磁带录制下来反复听和模仿。还可以把自己的口头作文和复述录下来,仔细审听,发现问题,及时纠正。但是,在自然条件下,听与说是不能分的。一个人听的过程实际是另一个人说的过程。如果有条件的话,最好能把自学的伙伴组织起来,定期开展会话活动,或利用社会上,公园中提供的" 外语之角"等条件,既练了说,又练了听,在实际的语言环境中练习,才能取得长足的进 步。
3.要有不怕听错,说错,不断苦练的精神练习听、说的学习者,特别是成年人,往往必听错、说错,不敢主支张口练习。然而,语言是一种习惯,没有反复的操练和实践难以产生熟练的技巧。会话重在达意,只要达到交流思想的目的,这种听、说实践就应该说是基本成功的。出了错,注意总结经验,自学改正就是了。
建议大家不要用电影对白或者托福听力的对话部分练听写。换句话说,对话类型的材料(conversations)是不适合拿来练听写的。原因很简单,对话的难点不在于某一个词,或一个复杂的句型,或比较晦涩的内容,或巨大的信息量。
难点往往来自于一些音变现象,比如连读失去爆破;来自于一些俚语习惯表达;来自于上下文语境的理解。换句话说,很多对话材料,就算原文里每个单词你都认识,但不一定理解这句话的意思。所以,费了半天劲听写下来的对话内容,要么看不懂不理解;要么就是这次看懂了,下次还是听不出。所以,对话材料应该采用的练习方法其实是跟读模仿。
用来练听写的材料应该是一个人的陈述、讲座之类的(Lecture)。之所以选择这样的材料,是和练听写的目地分不开的。练听写的核心本质其实是为了提高我们快速理解和记忆的能力。
有的同学误以为听写就是要把听到的所有内容都写下来,那是一些考试的要求,不是我们平时提高听力的方法。如果那样练习,你会发现两个问题:一是,有的时候就算写下来了,其实也不知道自己写了些什么。二是,觉得刚才听懂了,但要下笔写的时候觉得又忘了听到什么了。
造成这两种情况的原因,都是因为我们没理解听到的内容。听写真正应该做的是记忆和总结的工作,而不是听和写的工作。什么叫做记忆和总结,就是我们不需要完全按顺序重复这一个人的每一个字,但我们要做到能理解它的内容,并在总结后复述出来。这才是我们练听写真正的目地。如果我们总是反复听原文,一个字一个字写,可能半个小时才写了一个五分钟的文章,而这半小时的投入可能就没有达到什么提高听力水平的效果。

“一想到自己明天就没命了,不禁陷入极端的惶恐。我翻遍了口袋,终于找到一支没被他们搜走的香烟,但我的手紧张得不停发抖,连将烟送进嘴里都成问题,而我的火柴也在搜身时被拿走了。 “我透过铁栏望着外面的警卫,他并没有注意到我在看他,我叫了他一声:‘能跟你借个火吗?’他转头望着我,耸了耸肩,然后走了过来,点燃我的香烟。 “当他帮我点火时,他的眼光无意中与我的相接触,这时我突然冲着他微笑。我不知道自己为何有这般反应,也许是过于紧张,或者是当你如此靠近另一个人,你很难不对他微笑。不管是何理由,我对他笑了。就在这一刹那,这抹微笑如同火花般,打破了我们心灵间的隔阂。受到了我的感染,他的嘴角不自觉地也现出了笑容,虽然我知道他原无此意。他点完火后并没立刻离开,两眼盯着我瞧,脸上仍带着微笑。
“我也以笑容回应,仿佛他是个朋友,而不是个守着我的警卫。他看着我的眼神也少了当初的那股凶气,‘你有小孩吗?’他开口问道。 “‘有,你看。’我拿出了皮夹,手忙脚乱地翻出了我的全家福照片。他也掏出了照片,并且开始讲述他对家人的期望与计划。这时我眼中充满了泪水,我说我害怕再也见不到家人。我害怕没机会看着孩子长大。他听了也流下两行眼泪。 “突然间,他二话不说地打开了牢门,悄悄地带我从后面的小路逃离了监狱,出了小镇,就在小镇的边上,他放了我,之后便转身往回走,不曾留下一句话。
“一个微笑居然能救自己一条命。”“是的,微笑是人与人之间最自然真挚的沟通方式。如果我们能用心灵去认识彼此,世间不会有结怨成仇的憾事;恨意、妒嫉、恐惧也会不复存在。

人很难找到一份自己喜欢并坚持做下去的工作,如果碰到一份上班时感到沮丧的工作怎么办?下面是读文网小编为大家带来职场英语短文阅读,希望大家喜欢!
Summer is all about sun, fun and beach parties. It’s time when you have an opportunity to relax andforget about college. But not all of you have this opportunity. Unless you are a daughter or a son ofwealthy parents, you have to look for the ways to make some extra cash during your summer break.Even if you are not a college student anymore, summer is a great season to start looking for yourdream job. When it comes to job search, it’s critical for you to find a job that you will enjoy doing.Without further ado, here are some tried and true tips on how to find the best summer job.
1. Discover your skills and talents
Many job seekers look for a job without knowing what talents they have and what skills they canoffer their employers. If you don’t know what skills you can offer your potential employer yet, try todiscover them. Think about what you can do and what skill can increase your chances of getting abetter paid job. Even if you don’t have a lot of experience, when you are sure you can do somethingpretty well, don’t underestimate yourself.
2. Use your connections
Nowadays most people have landed their jobs thanks to their connections. Regardless of yourconnections, consider them when looking for your summer job. This way, you can find your job fasterand be sure that you’ll get your paycheck on time. If you don’t have any connections, no worries. Igot my job without them, though it was a bit tough.
3. Ditch your bad habits
If you have any bad habits, such as smoking, drinking, procrastinating or social media addiction,consider getting rid of them while you are looking for your summer job. It’s a good motivation tochange your lifestyle and you will have a bigger chance of landing a lucrative job. Today someemployers can check your social media profiles to find out more information about your lifestyle andhabits.
4. Keep it short
When writing your resume, make sure it’s not too long. 1-2 pages will be enough to provideinformation an employer will want to know about you. Don’t lie about your skills. Adding in adegree you never completed or a skill you know you won’t be able to acquire in a week is a surefireway to fail. If you are about to submit an application, make sure it’s clearly legible and written inblack type or ink.
5. Be friendly
Frowning won’t help you land a good job. Positive attitude is the key to success. When you lookfriendly and you are actually friendly, the others notice that. Most employers claim that it’s alwaysbetter to hire a positive beginner than a negative professional. When going to a job interview, forgetall your problems and focus on the positive things to make a good first impression.
6. Don’t submit applications at random
When it comes to any job search, submitting applications at random is one of the worst mistakes youcan commit. Not only does it prevent you from finding a well-paid job, you may end up finding awrong job. Before starting your summer job search, figure out what kind of job you’d like to doeach day. Make a short list of all the possible places you really want to work and only then submitapplications.
Even though summer job may seem like a temporary job, it’s a wonderful opportunity to gain someexperience, develop new skills and earn some extra money. Moreover, this job can affect your futurejobs, which is why it’s important to be a responsible employee. Be honest and curious. If you don’tknow something, let your employer know about it. This way, they can help you learn faster andbecome a more professional worker. Who knows, maybe this temporary job will become yourpermanent one. What are the most popular summer jobs that you want to land? Do you think asummer job can help you build the experience you need to start your career? Share your thoughtswith us please.

英语听力是英语学习中比较重要的一部分,也是过去被忽视的一部分。那么初中英语听力要怎么学习呢?下面读文网小编为大家带来初中英语听力学习方法技巧,希望对你有所帮助!
它讲究的是方法和效率。首先,我们要学会泛听和精听的结合。在我们听力练习的计划中要适当的安排泛听和精听,针对不同的题型我们也要采取不同的听的方式。例如,对于会考到细节题的短文,我们要精听;对于考主题的文章我们就泛听。当然,“策略”还包括许多学习的小窍门。比如我们在听短文时,心里要怀着“what, who, which, when, where, why, how”,也就是七个“W”来听,就能很快掌握大意。
最后还要强调一下发音。听力考试中总会有辨音题。总的来说,这个题型不难,但如果我们的发音不正确就会出错。千万别忽视发音问题,自己最好将一些容易混淆的音标对比进行练习,把相应的单词总结出来。初中英语中听力的学习非常重要

A boy found an eagle's egg and he put it in the nest of a prairie chicken. The eagle hatched and thought he was a chicken. He grew up doing what prairie chicken do-scratching at the dirt for food and flying short distances with a noisy fluttering of wings. It was a dreary life. Gradually the eagle grew older and bitter. One day he and his prairie chicken friend saw a beautiful bird soaring on the currents of air, high above the mountains.
"Oh, I wish I could fly like that!" said the eagle. The chicken replied, "Don't give it another thought. That's the mighty eagle, the king of all birds-you could never be like him!" And the eagle didn't give it another thought. He went on cackling and complaining about life. He died thinking he was a prairie chicken. My friends, you too were born an eagle. The Creator intended you to be an eagle, so don’t listen to the prairie chickens!

Buddhi: Can you tell me about general roles in America? Is it that women do cooking or themen help out or how is it done?
布迪希妮:你能说说美国的性别角色吗?是女性负责做饭,男性帮忙,还是怎样的?
Todd: I think it's changed a lot over the years. It's similar to what you said in your country.America's probably maybe one of the leading countries in trying to make it more equal, so yeah,so now it's ... the men are supposed to help cook and clean and stuff. But actually what I findinteresting is that over time I think people still settle into their old habits. I think that youngcouples start off that the husbands gonna cook and he's gonna help clean but as they get oldernaturally it does seem like women revert to more caretaking roles and men kind of get lazy Ithink. You know. Although, I have to say, growing up my step-father was pretty amazing. Hewas really good at cooking and he cooked a lot and he actually used to get home before mymother. She also worked. So he would do the most of the cooking, and he was actually thebetter cook, but my mom's a good cook too.
托德:我想这几年情况有了很大的变化。现在美国的性别角色和你们国家的类似。在男女平等这方面,美国应该是领先国家之一,男性会在做饭、打扫等家务上帮忙。不过我发现有意思的是,随着时间流逝,人们会重新拾起旧习惯。在年轻夫妻中,一开始丈夫会做饭,帮忙做打扫工作,但是在他们年老以后,妻子会重新承担起照顾家庭的角色,而男性则会越来越懒。不过,我要说,我的继父非常不可思议。他很会做饭,在家里他做饭的次数更多,而且他回家的时间比我妈妈早。我妈妈也在工作。所以一般是我继父做饭,而且他做的饭很好吃,当然我妈妈做的饭也不错。
Buddhi: So looking at him, did you ever want to learn cooking and did you ever think like, "OK,when I grow up I'll always help whoever was around."
布迪希妮:那他有没有让你想学做饭,或者你有没有想过:好,我长大以后也要帮忙?
Todd: No, it was actually .... I'm quite ashamed. I never did really learn cooking from him ormy mother, so they never really showed me, so even to this day I'm a pretty terrible cook. Sowhat about you? Did your mother show you how to cook?
托德:没有,这点让我很羞愧。我从没有跟他或我妈妈学过做饭,他们也没有教过我,所以直到现在我的厨艺仍然很差。那你呢?你妈妈有教你做饭吗?
Buddhi: She did, it's just that I didn't learn and my brother ended up learning all the cookingand he's a very good cook right now, and it makes me be very ashamed of myself, but ...
布迪希妮:她教了,不过我没有学会,倒是我哥哥学会了做饭,他现在做的一手好菜,这让我感到惭愧,不过……
Todd: So wait a minute. Wait a minute. Your mom actually took the time to show you how tocook, and you say you still can't cook?
托德:等等,等一下。你妈妈有花时间教你做饭,可是你还是不会做饭?
Buddhi: Yes!!!!
布迪希妮:对!!!!
Todd: Why? What happened?
托德:为什么?为什么会这样?
Buddhi: I don't know. I don't know. Sri Lankan cooking is so difficult and it takes ... it's reallytime consuming, but I wouldn't want to say that out too loud cause there are some like manygood cooks as well, it's just that I'm not good at it, but .... I mean, I'm not that that bad. It'sjust that my food don't turn out to be as good as my mom's.
布迪希妮:我也不知道,我也不清楚原因。斯里兰卡菜很难做,而且做起来要花很多时间,不过我不想以此做借口,斯里兰卡也有很多人做饭很好,只是我不太擅长做饭,不过我做的也不是太差。只是我做的菜没有我妈妈做的好吃。
Todd: Right.
托德:好。

想做一个优秀的英语演讲,首先要写出一篇优秀的英语演讲稿,那么你知道英语演讲稿要怎么写吗?下面是读文网小编为大家带来3分钟英语演讲稿短文附翻译,供大家参考学习!
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
Wow, what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.
However, we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. Now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. However, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. Well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.

英国的教育体系经过几百年的沿革,相当的完善和复杂,这里就有它的英文版介绍。下面读文网小编为大家带来英国教育体系英文简介,希望对你有所帮助!
英国教育体系总体来说分为三个阶段: 义务教育(Compulsory Education),延续教育(Further Education)和高等教育(Higher Education)。
一、义务教育 (Compulsory Education)
英国的学生从四岁开始接受义务教育,享受全免费的国家福利,学校甚至还提供免费的午餐,所有的家长必须把自己的孩子送到学校读书。小学教育一般持续到11岁,然后进入中学。英国的中学不分初中高中,从中一(Form 1)到中五(Form 5)共五年的时间。
二、延续教育(Further Education)
延续教育是英国教育体系中最有特色也最精彩的部分,它是继小学(Primary)中学(Secondary)教育之后的“第三级教育”(Tertiary)。为进入高等教育或者就业打下基础。也是中国的高中学生留学英国的关键阶段。一般来说接受延续教育的学生介于16和18岁之间。它分为两种体系:学业路线(Academic Route)和职业路线(Vocational Route)。学业路线着重于培养学术研究方面的人才,职业路线则结合社会各层面的职业需要,培养在各种行业中具有专门技能和知识的人才。这两种体系在英国受到同等的重视。
三、高等教育(Higher Education)
顾名思义,高等教育是英国教育体系中的高级阶段,它包括:
本科(Bachelor Degree)
研究生(Master Degree)
博士生(Doctorial Degree)
高级国家文凭(HND-Higher National Diploma)。
高等教育通常都是由大学(University)提供,但许多学院(College)也提供Bachelor和HND课程。

Remember when you thought you’d have life all figured out by the age of 30?
But now here you are, officially a 30-something and yet your life is far from sorted. Well, don’t worry, you’re not alone.
For most of us, our 30s are a time of change and uncertainty. Perhaps things haven’t worked out quite how you would have liked so far. But the good news is, there’s still plenty time to shape the life you want and you’re sure to learn a lot along the way.
I turned 40 last month which means somehow I made it through my 30s in one piece. Now, I’m still no life expert but as I reflect on the last ten years, I’m amazed at how much I’ve learnt.
Here are some of the lessons you’ll learn during your 30s.
1. You’ll learn friendships change
Your friendships will change a lot during your 30s. As people pair up, have kids, move house or change jobs, your friendships inevitably alter.
You may discover friends you have known for years don’t make the effort to keep in touch anymore. Or perhaps you no longer have anything in common with friends you’ve had since childhood.
It’s difficult to accept but there may be people who simply aren’t meant to be in your friendship circle anymore. But new friendships will take their place and the good news is, the friends you have at the end of your 30s will probably be friends for life.
2. You’ll learn to make big decisions
When you enter your 30s, you realize those big decisions you’ve been putting off can’t wait forever.
During my 30s I moved house twice, set up a business and had a baby. All demanded huge decisions that I’d been able to avoid during my 20s.
Decisions about your career, family, finances and relationships – you’ll face them all during your 30s. And no matter how old you get, making decisions is tough but with every big decision, your life changes; usually for the better.
3. You’ll learn about heartache
Divorce, fertility issues, bereavement, these are all things many people in their 30s have to face, often for the first time. The thing is, the journey through life isn’t meant to be straightforward and you can only really appreciate the highs, when you’ve also experienced the lows.
As Winston Churchill said: “If you’re going through hell, keep going”.
4. You’ll learn what’s really important
As you get older, your priorities change. The things that were important to you in your 20s such as making money or owning the latest gadgets will now seem less important.
Your 30s is a time to redefine your priorities; whether that’s traveling more, achieving a better work/life balance, or starting a family.
5. You’ll learn about compromise
Life is full of compromises and during your 30s you may find you have to compromise on big things such as taking a pay cut to get the job you really want, or moving city to be with the person you love.
Of course, it’s equally important to know when not to compromise. If you want kids but your partner doesn’t, it’s probably impossible to find a compromise. Instead, you may have to make the difficult decision to walk away from the relationship to get the life you really want.
6. You’ll learn to look after your body
Alcohol, sugar, late nights; they all take their toll. In your 20s you can enjoy your vices without inflicting too much long-term damage. But in your 30s, all those bad choices suddenly have a huge impact.
When you look in the mirror and see wrinkles, grey hairs and saggy skin for the first time, it’s a shock. And while you can’t reverse the ageing process (at least not without lots of cash and a great cosmetic surgeon), you can slow down the effects of ageing by making smart choices.
Now is the time to nurture your body to keep you healthy throughout your 30s and beyond.
7. You’ll learn to invest in the future
“Live for today” is the mantra of most 20-somethings. And this is perfect when you’ve got plenty time ahead to iron out your mistakes. But as you enter your 30s, you’ll realize although enjoying the moment is still important, you also need to plan for the future.
By investing in your finances, your health and your relationships you’ll form good habits that will make your future healthier and happier.
8. You’ll learn life is short
In your 20s you had the luxury of knowing that your whole life was still ahead of you. Meanwhile in your 30s, the sensation that time is hurtling along just keeps getting stronger.
You’ll treasure every second more and only go for things you really like or really needed.
9. You’ll learn about regret
Did you want to be a millionaire by the time you were 30? Travel the world? Win an Oscar? Goals you had in your 20s may no longer seem achievable and although it’s hard to let go of your dreams, with the wisdom you’ve gained, you can create new ones.
10. You’ll learn about children
Whether you already have kids, want kids, or definitely don’t want kids; there’s no escaping the fact that during your 30s everyone seems to be talking about children.
When you have absolutely no interest in kids, all the conversations about diapers and nurseries can become tiresome. But seeing your friends settle down and have kids can clarify how you feel about starting your own family.
You may find your thoughts about children change when you hit your 30s. Plenty of people (including me) change from thinking “definitely not”, to “definitely maybe” as they realize it’s a decision that can’t be put off forever.
11. You’ll learn to develop your own style
Knowing how to dress in your 30s isn’t easy. You’re too mature to wear teenage fashions but not ready to dress like your parents. Take the opportunity to develop your own style. It’s refreshing not to have to be a slave to fashion anymore.
12. You’ll learn to socialize differently
If your 20s were all about all-night parties and being seen in the hippest clubs; you may learn your tastes change in your 30s. Personally, I’d rather go for coffee than cocktails and much prefer watching a film with friends to hitting the town.
Being in your 30s gives you the freedom to do the things you really want to do, not what you think you should be doing.
13. You’ll learn not to sweat the small stuff
Remember when you were worried about everything? What to wear, how to cut your hair, whether your colleagues thought you were a dork for staying in on Saturday night? Well, great news; in your 30s you’ll learn not to care about the little things.
It’s painful to realize how much time you wasted overthinking things but the worries that caused you sleepless nights in your 20s simply won’t matter anymore. And when you learn not to sweat the small stuff, you’ll have more energy to focus on more important things.
14. You’ll learn to manage your money
If you haven’t already got your finances in check, you’ll learn to during your 30s. No doubt you’ll make some mistakes along the way but you’ll quickly become an expert.
Whether you’re investing in business, property or parenthood; now is the time to focus on money matters and financial planning.
15. You’ll learn to value your family
During our late teens and 20s many people grow apart from their parents and siblings as they fly the nest and embrace freedom. But during our 30s, many rediscover the importance of family.
Having kids of your own can bring you closer to your parents. And as your friendships change, it’s comforting to have the stability of family relationships.
16. You’ll learn to stand up for yourself
Whether it’s asking for a pay rise, or standing up to bullies at work, once you’re in your 30s, you’ll learn how to be assertive when it counts. Confidence comes with age so don’t be afraid to ask for what you want; you just might get it.
17. You’ll learn to love yourself
Your 20s can be a difficult time when you’re constantly comparing yourself to others and worrying “am I good enough?”. Well, the good news is your insecurities lessen during your 30s.
You might not have life completely figured out yet but you’ll definitely care less about what others think and learn to love yourself a whole lot more.

想要学好初中英语,那么坚持每天的英语美文晨读是很多人都推荐的学习方法。下面读文网小编为大家带来精选的初中英语晨读美文,供大家阅读欣赏!
Have you ever been around someone who immediately put you at ease? Perhaps you may be one of those people who others feel safe around.
有没有遇到过那么个人,只要他/她在你身边,你立即就觉得安心?或许你就是让别人觉得安心的那么一个人。
What is the common thread in people who emanate warmth? Some may think it is related to personality or physical appearance. But this does little to explain why bright beacons of light can be found anywhere. Essence has nothing to do with our exterior.
那些气场中自带温暖的人有哪些共性呢?一些人也许认为这与性格或外貌有关。但这基本解释不了为什么明亮的灯塔之光四处可见。本质与我们的外在无关。
I like to believe the common thread is a universal trait we are all able to tap into. When we see the truth of who we are and wholeheartedly love every part of that truth, we automatically shine. When we embrace our essence and live in congruence with who we are, we radiate peace.
我愿意相信这个共性是我们都能够触及的、普遍存在的品质。当我们欣赏自己的本质并全心全意热爱着这一切的时候,我们自然而然就会出类拔萃。当我们欣然接受自己的本质并遵循本心来生活的时候,我们会自带平和的光环。
Every day we can choose to wake up and see the gift of getting to be who we are. When we decide to live from this way of "being," it becomes easy to see this same light and gift in everyone — even those who may not yet see it in themselves.
每一天,我们都可以选择一醒来就欣赏做自己这一项天赋。当我们决定以“本性”来生活的时候,在每个人身上,甚至是那些可能还没有开始欣赏自身本性的人身上,我们变得很容易就能看到同样的光芒和天赋了。
The benefits of self-love are many. What I know to be true without a doubt in my heart, is that we are all capable of giving this gift to ourselves.
自爱的益处有很多。我所知道的真相就是,我们都能赋予自己这项天赋,这一点我深信不疑。
These words help me remember why embracing my essence is always the best thing to do. Perhaps this may resonate with where you are.
这些话让我想起欣然接受自己的本质始终是上策的原因。或许这也会与你产生共鸣。
When you love who you are,
当你爱自己的时候,
you become a conduit of light.
你会成为一道光。
Just drop into your heart space,
只需触及心房,
and live life from this view.
并遵循本心来生活。
For all of this doing
做这一切
is not who you are.
无关你是谁。
Listen to your heart’s soft whisper,
聆听内心轻柔的呢喃,
this voice will show you the way.
她会告诉你方法。
Live life from your essence
遵循本性来生活
is what she will say.
她会这样告诉你。
See the light in yourself,
欣赏自身的光芒,
and your world will be bright.
你的世界都会变得明亮。
There is no need to worry,
没必要担心,
you are exactly as you should be;
你正是自己本来的模样;
remember to love who you are,
记得爱自己,
and love you will see.
爱自己欣赏的一切。

学习英语,阅读真的很重要,多阅读一些英语短篇美文能有效提高自己的英语阅读能力,下面读文网小编在这里整理了一些英语美文短文精选给大家,希望大家会喜欢这些英语美文!
Through the cold winter wasteland a man trudged, leaning into the harsh wind which spitefully tried to force him back. He was covered from head to toe in layers of thick clothing, layers of protection against the harsh environment. On he fought, searching, searching. He was working so hard. This must be the way.
在寒冷的冬季,以为男子在荒地中的前行举步维艰,狂风肆虐几乎要将他吹倒。他从头到脚包裹着厚厚的衣物,用来抵御这恶劣的环境。他不遗余力的寻找着,寻找着,一定有办法。
In the distance he saw what looked like steam rising out of the ground. It rose a few feet and then was quickly whipped away by the biting wind. He altered his course and turned towards the steam, gaining some blessed relief as he turned his chapped face out of the gale.
远远地他看见有蒸汽从地下往上冒,只有短短几英尺。接着狂风拖曳着他往回,他改变了方向超蒸汽那里出发,感谢上天他开裂的脸蛋不再曝露在狂风之中。
As he got closer, he thought he could make out voices. Their tone was unfamiliar to him - musical, relaxed and warm - their melody enticed him closer. Finally he got close enough to peer through the mist.
他渐渐走近,发现自己可以说话了。对方的声音听起来很陌生,但是如同音乐一般让人感觉到放松,温暖。他们的旋律吸引着他不断靠近。最后,在迷雾中他靠近了他们。
There before him was a remarkable sight. In the midst of the frozen wasteland, cut into the ground was a large pool. Several people were in the pool, they seemed to be floating easily without any effort. As they saw him approach, a woman called out to him.
在旅人面前呈现出一个奇妙的场景。在刺骨寒冷的湿地中,地面上有这么大一个池塘。有不少人在其中,毫不费力地在池中飘来飘去。在旅人靠近之时,一位女士叫住了他。
"Come in here. It is lovely and warm. You can just lie back and relax," said the woman.
“进来吧,这里温暖舒适。你可以躺下放松。”女士说道。
"I can't. There are no steps." The man replied.
“我不能,这里都没有台阶。”旅人答道。
"Just jump in. It really is lovely in here. Come on. Theoure's plenty of room for another." Another of the floaters joined in the persuasion.
“只要跳进来就好了,这里很棒,快点,还有不少位子呢。”池中其他人也附和说道。
"But what if I don't like it, how will I get out? The sides are too high to reach up to."
“但是如果我不喜欢这里了,怎么出来?边缘太高很难出来。”
"Believe me, you won't want to get out. Come on. It is so good in here."
“相信我,你不会想要出来的,快点进来,这里真的很好。”
But he decided not to jump in. And that was a wise decision.
但他没有往下跳。而这是个明治的选择。
There're many things and people in life like this pool. They promise you life can be easy.
生活中有很多人和事像这个水池一样,他们像你承诺无忧无虑。
But in fact, they are traps that you can't come back from.
但实际上,他们都是能让你万劫不复的陷阱。
Life is hard. Stay wise. And fight.
生活是艰难的,请保持睿智,并战斗下去。
