《奥林匹克》英文读后感【1】
The Olympic Games, which originated in ancient Greece, is the most distinguished sporting event in the world.
Once every four years, the utmost athletes from all around are lured to gather together and spare no efforts to compete against each other and try to win a medal for the country that they represent.
Frankly speaking, that was virtually all I knew about the world-famous Olympic Games before I had read a book entitled The Olympics published by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press.
However, I found even more philosophy beyond just winning medals from reading the book, which was beyond my imagination and considerably inspiring.
Someone once said, “Were everybody on earth involved in some kind of sport, our world would be free of war for long.” Starting from three thousand years ago, the ancient Olympic Games has long been an event not only for competition but also for peace.
In ancient times, no war was allowed between the cities during the Games, which was rather surprising to me since I could hardly imagine warriors actally putting down their weapons and give a break for peace.
The precious tradition of peace continued: I would never fail to recall the scene of the opening ceremonies when North and South Korean athletes entering the stadium with their hands held together.
The two neighboring countries that used to be enemies are no longer enemies during the Games.
Instead they became friends.
Speaking of the XX Athens Olympics, perhaps most people would have the same opinion that the most noable part of the opening ceremony arrived when Iraqi and Afghan representatives showed up.
These two unfortunate nations, the people of which have undergone innumerable wars, are coming back again to take their own responsibility in world sports after recent invasions by America.
The fearless people of Iraq and Afghanistan are once more sharing the spirit of the Games with people from the rest of the world.
There is another story in this book that makes me deep in thoughts.
There is no doubt that the most unusual Olympic Games ever in history is the 1936 Olympics held in Germany, which was then ruled by the Nazi Party.
Led by Adolf Hitler, the Nazi believed that the so-called Aryan people were superior to all others in all aspects.
They looked down upon Jews and blacks, the latter of which was a major constitution of the United States Olympic team.
Despite the barrier that faced him, the African American Jesse Owens, who was a most outstanding runner and jumper, did all that he could and finally won gold medals for his country and went home a hero.
This reveals another fact that no power on earth is able to hinder the sacred Olympic Games.
For all participants, no matter what their gender, race, nationalities and backgrounds are, equality is distributed among every one who observes the Game’s rules.
At the XX Athens Olympics, our Chinese team did extraordinarily well.
We ranked second on the medal lists for the first time in history.
In my opinion, however, we should not only concentrate on the figure of medals; instead the strength and perseverance of those who failed to get any medals ought to be highly cherished.
Whether ever success or failure, whether ever cheer or tear, whether ever medal or not, the never-gave-up spirits of athletes are always motivating us.
I believe in the year 20**, the world will focus all their attention to Beijing, China, where the glory of the Games will continue to thrive forever!
《星际动物园》英文读后感【2】
As the only living things on a bare planet called “Just Like Home”, humans felt lonely and sad.
In order to live, they must get married as often as possible and have children.
Unwilling to get married, our 16-year-old protagonist named Humming Bird ran away from her planet and found a plastic space ship.
There she met various kinds of animals, which frightened her even drove her crazy.
She had never seen such things before.
Only through ‘The Book Of Remembering’ did she get some rough idea of animals.
After she took a small-copied cat home and showed it to the officials on her planet, the cat was shot to death and all the officials went crazy.
Humming Brid didn’t give up her attempt to let people accept the animals.
She decided to set about the job from children…
That’s the brief plot of Harry Gilbert’s science fiction—.
Based on the reality of increasing environmental problems, the writer uses his full imagination and creativity to produce this vivid imaginative and thought-provoking story.
As far as we know, animal numbers are now diminishing all over the world every years, and the living conditions we depend on a getting worse.
We dirty the air with gases and smoke, poison the water with chemicals and other substances and damage the soil with too many fertilizers and pesticides.
We also pollute our surroundings in many other ways.
Air, water and soil are all very important and necessary to the survival of all living things all over the world.
If we human don’t pay more attention to that, there will come a day when we have to live the kind of life described in this novel.
As we know, the world is made up not only of human beings but also a lot of other living things.
If we don’t want to leave this perfect planet, we have to protect the environment; otherwise, without the company of other living things, people would only be half-alive, men only half-men.
Nowadays, I should say, people have realized the importance of environmental protection and ecological balance.
Slogans that remind us to save water and electricity are stuck everywhere, but how many are treated as requirements or duties and not just a piece of paper.
If we pay a little attention to our working and study places, we always find some taps half opened with running water, and large numbers of people get used to leave lights on during the day.
Dustbins for both recycled and unredeemable rubbish are placed in high density but no one bothers to throw the rubbish into the right dustbins.
Nor do they even know what kind of rubbish could be recycled and what kind could not.
Conservation centers for protecting animals are built in many countries.
Our government also passed some acts to protect animals; however, there do exist some law-breakers who are driven by money.
We plant trees very year, but no one bothers to water and care for them after planting them.
For money, some farmers drive their sheep and cattle to grasslands and charge it into desert.
All in all, to every one, I want to say, “Living on this wonderful planet earth, we are lucky and happy.In order to enjoy this kind of wonderful life, we must care for mother earth and put this kind of care into practice.”
Facing the world, to be or not to be, it’s up to you.
We must make a choice without any hesitation!
《巴黎圣母院》英语读后感【3】
《 Notre Dame cathedral》 is one known far and wide romantic faction strength which Victor Hugo writes .
I take advantage of this summer vacation free time， read this great work.
Notre Dame cathedral's story， actually was one at that time social epic poem， since brimmed with really.
Friendly.
Beautiful， also the flow selfish desire and is false.
Regardless of is good beautiful Asmelada ，or has the ugly semblance， Cacimodo with one pure mind， they represent the great amount the lower level populace which suppresses; Perhaps is sinister Coloud， he is appears by the theocracy face， all load bearing one kind of author's ponder.
The author in this work， for with the clown， was beautifully friendly and wickedly does the best annotation， or take above three people as the example， the rebel Asmelada has the beautiful semblance and the chaste good mind， as well as pitiful destiny， but Cacimodo， he withstood destiny deceive nicely， the innermost feelings is his misery is graver， but Coloud maintained the benighted social rights and interests， he had brutally.
Void mind and evil passion.
Good person physique hateful， but the evil person actually says the appearance shore however， bright set off， social unfair manifest.
But the article result also is when the opposition society until criticism： All beautiful is good all swallows by the might and the evil， the lower level people's weak strength in under the king power rule， in the benighted society， only can be reduced to ashes.
Was palatial Notre Dame cathedral， how many world tragedy testimony once， in Hugo the novel， he as if had the life breath， he sheltered Asmelada ，exposed Coloud the crime， regret the populace attack the magnificent feat which dark actually heroically devoted……
Another the question which is worth pondering is： Who is the hero? Asmelada or Cacimodo? I think all is not， but is in the article by the Louis 11 rank smell of blood suppression rather for sacreficed the populace gate， Asmelada with Cacimodo is not in them the representative， Asmelada is loves with the beautiful symbol， Cacimodo not many represents is unfortunate and the pain.
But they， all suffer a tragic middle ages ignorant evil forces devastate， one each one painful soul is bleeding， flows the tear.
Merely is Notre Dame cathedral's above engraves " the destiny "? They are in middle ages France， despotism sacrificial victim.
The entire story rich tragic color， the plot intense is moving， exciting.
Author Hugo through " Notre Dame cathedral " this story， but also disclosed at that time the dark society's essence to the people.
This fascinating story likes that Ccimodo clocks sound equally shocks several generation of readers' minds.
