The World Conference for the Well-being of Children in Geneva, Switzerland proclaimed June 1 to be International Children's Day in1925. It is not clear as to why June 1 was chosen as the International Children's Day: one theory has it that the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco (USA) gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in 1925, which happened to be on June 1 that year.
The holiday is celebrated on 1 June each year. It is usually marked with speeches on children's rights and wellbeing, children TV programs, parties, various actions involving or dedicated to children, families going out, etc.
Universal Children's Day takes place on November 20 annually. First proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954, it was established to encourage all countries to institute a day, firstly to promote mutual exchange and understanding among children and secondly to initiate action to benefit and promote the welfare of the world's children. Universal Children's Day is preceded by International Men's Day on November 19 creating a 48 hour celebration of men and children respectively during which time the positive roles men play in children's lives are recognized.
国际儿童日是每年的11月20日,1954年的联合国大会上,这个节日的提出是为了推动所有国家都设立一个专门的日子来:首先,促进各国儿童之间的交流和沟通;其次,通过采取行动来提升各国儿童的福利。国际儿童日在国际男人日(11月19日)随后的一天,在48小时的儿童节和男人日的庆祝中,男人在儿童生活中的重要意义得到认可。作者: pearrot 时间: 2012-6-9 18:00

【学好英语使用正确的学习方法】
当一个人拥有了目标和自信后,接下来最关键的就是方法。学习英语也是一样的,当有了目标和自信后,方法就变得异常重要了。我们很多人其实也有心学好英语,但学了十来年还是聋子哑巴,就是方法有很大的问题,一个重要的原因也是因为我总结了许多成功者的有效方法,并把这些方法复制到自己的身上。永远记住,大多数人能做到的事情,你一定能做到anything that anybody can do, so can you. 任何你想要做的事情,绝大多数已经被别人做过了anything that you plan to do has been done by someone else. 而你所要做的就是复制别人验证过的方法和策略what you need to do is to duplicate their proven strategies.作者: pearrot 时间: 2012-8-4 23:06
恋爱一族必备~约会英语
date (男女间的)约会; 约会对象
A: Dude, did you see that babe over there? I'm dating her.
A: 老兄!看见那边那个美女没有? 我正在跟她约会喔!
B: Man, you're lucky.
B: 你真是运气好!
"babe" 是「令人垂涎」的美女或俊男。
「和某人约会」除了用 "date" , 还可以用 "romance"这个字。比如: "Beck and Ada have been
dating for years." 可以说成:"Beck and Ada have been romancing for
years.", 都是「Beck 跟 Ada 爱情长跑多年的意思」。
注意名词的" date" 和 "appointment" 不可混用?quot;appointment" 是男女以外的约会,
如医生、工作面谈的约。万一你跟你的医生说:"I'd like to have a date with you.",
他可能会眼睛、嘴巴都张得很大。作者: davidhu 时间: 2012-8-5 08:59 作者: zoukunhymax 时间: 2012-8-6 14:02

活到老,学到老。没有人的技术和知识是可以通用一辈子而不需要更新的。
If you really have a dream,don't let anything hold you back.
Stay tuned!这多半是指播音员在收音机或电视上所说的。意思是:「稍等一下,下面还有」(Stay where you are in the same channel),但也可以表示对一件事情的继续讨论 (to keep continuing the same issue)。(tuned是形容词,原意是调好电台或电视)例如:
Stay tuned, there will be more on this subject tomorrow.(稍等,这个问题明天再谈。) Stay tuned 的等候时间,可长可短,要看情况而定。
然而 "wait a moment" 通常是指 immediately,时间较短。例如: Stay tuned(或 wait a moment)I will be right back.(指马上回来)
但是: We have to stay tuned regarding the name change of our school.(我们必须等待校名的变更)(等待时间较长)作者: pearrot 时间: 2012-10-6 09:41
