小作文：推荐信

Dear Professor James,

Welcome to Newland! I thought you might want to travel to some tourist attractions here, so I am writing this email to give my recommendations.

The most appealing spot is Antara, where is full of decent local museums of different types, such as art, music, and history. You are a big fan of history and art, so I am sure that will be the No.1 option. The second recommendation is Ozark, a beautiful lake, where you can row a boat serenely or fish for a quiet afternoon.

I am excited about your arrival. My picks are tailored for you, so I hope they would be taken into your account. Have fun and see you soon!

Best regards,

Li Ming

大作文：“有书”与“读书”

It has been a common phenomenon that one is less inclined to read books, as is the man in the left picture, who leans back on a chair and exclaims that he owns so many books. On the contrary, the “right” boy is not an owner, but a practical reader, who sits in front of a desk and resolves to finish twenty books within this year.

The cartoonist’s meaning is clear and sarcastic: we should reading books instead of just owning them. People like the left man are not a minority, but a vast majority in modern times when electronic devices have dominated people’s daily life and are engulfing our reading time bit by bit. Alas, earnest readers are not so often to be found.

What a shame for us! Owning many books, in my view, is meaningless if the owner never reads any of them and make books be the adornments for his house. Moreover, reading can enrich one’s knowledge and enhance his personal manners, which are the priceless and precious fortune for the whole lifetime. So why not do we read? At last, I say: not an OWNER, be a READER!

  小作文：推荐信 Dear El, It has been a long time since we had a chat last time. How have you been these days? Recently I watched a movie  Braveheart  on Netflix and thought you might love it as well. So I recommend this epic and historical movie to you. The first reason is the protagonist William Wallace-a Scottish warrior-shows his perfect acting skills and real medieval life to the audiences. Second is that you are a big fan of history, so you will learn many historical backgrounds of conflicts between England and Scotland, which were fierce at that time. Last but not least, the film also advocates the spirit of freedom and the fight against unjust fate. I hope you would enjoy the movie, and I am looking for your reply. Have a nice day! Yours sincerely, Li Ming 大作文：谈环境 There are two youngsters, in this drawing, sitting on a boat who chatter and smoke happily. Surprisingly, lots of fishes are floating on the river due to the garbage chucked by them. Still, the rowing guide une...

词根“duct”相关单词讲解

本期讲解词根 duct ，Duct在 这篇博文 中提到过，意为领导、引导（‘to lead’)，duct的原始词根为deuk（结尾辅音变化，不影响单词意思），本文的以下单词皆与该意思有关，不需要全部记忆，根据个人精力进行学习。 1. Duke 公爵。duke由deuk演化而来，两个词长得差不多，读音也差不多。公爵是领导一个地区的人，一个领导者。 Duchess，公爵夫人。 Duchy，duke的东西 => 公国。 Archduke，arch（大）+ duke，奥地利大公，位置比公爵高，低于国王。 Grand duke，也是大公，欧洲大陆国家常见，如：卢森堡大公，托斯卡纳大公。 Ducat，达克特，一种货币。字面意为：公爵的货币。 Ducal，duc + al，公爵的 再补充一下欧洲贵族的英语，爵位按排序递减： 侯爵，Marquis。Marq = mark，标记。标记在这里象征着领地的边界被mark了，侯爵负责管理标记内部的领地。 伯爵，count（欧洲大陆国家使用），earl（英国）。 子爵，viscount。vis (‘vice’) + count，vis可能大家不熟悉，看到Vice President，应该就知道了。vice意为代替（‘instead of, deputy’），子爵是在伯爵之下的爵位，所以加上了vis。 男爵，baron，玩LOL的同学肯定知道。 2. Duct 导管，管道（如图所示），领导、引领水、石油和气到目标地点的东西。 Ductile，延展性。容易被引领的东西（easy to be led）=> 延展性。 Duction，引领。 3. Abduce 使肢体外展。away + lead，领出去。该单词已基本不用（ obsolete）。 Abduct，非常容易弄混，而且算常见，意为拐走（把别人的肢体领走）。 Abductor，诱拐者。 Abduction，诱拐的名词。 该单词不包括卖这个意思，根据词根，不难理解其原因。 Adduct，还有一个意思，与abduce类似，是肢体外延（如图）。 Circumduct，肢体环回（如图）。 4. Adduce 意为引证。把其他地方的语言领过来。英英释义为： To give reasons why you think something is true. 5. Conduce 导致，有助于。 ...
