My reflection on The Sorrows of Young Werther
The Sorrows of Young Werther describes how Werther happened to meet Lotte and fell in love with her, but Lotte had engaged with another man.Werther loved Lotte very much but he dared not tell his love to her.Finally, he shot himself with his sorrows.When I finished reading this book, I felt sad and sorry about his death.Werther was lost in the world of love. He couldn't go out and stop loving Lotte, and he buried himself in his sorrows.
Facing love, we should keep calm so that we can make right choices.In addition, I don't think Werther had to kill himself.Being alive is a great thing.Sometimes, not everything is the way we want it to be, and maybe there are some things we can't change.However, we can change our attitudes toward life.Werther could have made a better choice, but in fact he didn't.We should choose our lives on our own in a better way.

Looking back upon my English learning path in the past years, I was filled with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.Personally,the secret to learning English well is to develop a deep interest when you are learning English.There was a time when my thoughts wandered.Though I spent two hours in memorising words of a unit,I didn't really grasp the words.
To promote efficiency and address this challenge,I reflected on this matter.Nowadays,if I am going to do some reading, I will ask myself,“Are you ready to devote yourself to English now ” If my answer is “no”, I won't start the work as it is no use learning English without attention.In this way,I learn English for greater efficiency and my English has improved a lot.

Great Expectations(Excerpt)
My first name was Philip,but when I was a small child I could only manage to① say Pip.
So Pip was what everybody called me.
I lived in a small village in Essex with my sister, who was over twenty years older than me, and married to Joe Gargery, the village blacksmith②.
My parents had died when I was a baby, so I could not remember them at all, but quite often I used to visit the churchyard, about a mile from the village, to look at their names on their gravestones③.
My first memory is of sitting on a gravestone in that churchyard one cold, grey, December afternoon, looking out at the dark, flat, wild marshes④ divided by the black line of the River Thames, and listening to the rushing sound of the sea in the distance.
“Don't say a word!” cried a terrible voice, as a man jumped up from among the graves and caught hold of⑤ me.
“If you shout I'll cut your throat!”
He was a big man, dressed all in grey, with an iron chain on his leg.His clothes were wet and torn.He looked exhausted,and hungry,and very fierce.
I had never been so frightened in my whole life.
“Oh!Don't cut my throat,sir!”I begged in terror.
“Tell me your name,boy!Quick!” he said, still holding me.“And show me where you live!”
“My name's Pip, sir.And I live in the village over there.”
He picked me up and turned me upside down.
Nothing fell out of my pocket except a piece of old bread.He ate it in two bites, like a dog, and put me back on the gravestone.
“So where are your father and mother ”he asked.
“There,sir,”I answered,pointing to their graves.
“What!” he cried, and was about to run, when he saw where I was pointing.“Oh!” he said.“I see.They're dead.Well, who do you live with, if I let you live, which I haven't decided yet ”
“With my sister,sir,wife of Joe Gargery,the blacksmith.”
“Blacksmith, you say ”And he looked down at his leg.Then he held me by both arms and stared fiercely down into my eyes.
“Now look here.You bring me a file⑥.You know what that is And you bring me some food.”
远大前程(节选)
我的名字叫菲利普,但是当我还是个小孩子的时候,我仅会说皮普。
因此,皮普就成了大家对我的称呼。
我与姐姐住在埃塞克斯的一个小村庄,姐姐比我大20多岁,她与村里的铁匠乔·葛吉瑞结了婚。
当我还是一个婴儿时,父母就离世了,所以我不记得他们的一切情况。但是,我过去常常去离村庄大约1英里的教堂墓地,瞻仰墓碑上他们的名字。
我最初的记忆是在十二月份一个寒冷的、天色阴沉的下午。我正坐在那个教堂墓地的一块墓石上,看到的是被那黑色泰晤士河分割成的一片黑压压的沼泽荒地,听到的是从远处大海刮来的呼啸声。
这时,从墓地里窜出一个人来,一把抓住我。“别出声!”一个凶恶的声音大喊起来。
“如果你出声我就割断你的喉咙!”
他身材高大,穿着一身灰色衣服,腿上拴着一副脚镣。他的衣服湿漉漉的并且破烂不堪。他看上去筋疲力尽、饥饿难耐又十分凶残。
在我一生中我从没有如此害怕过。
“噢!先生,不要割断我的喉咙!”我害怕地乞求着。
“小子,告诉我你叫什么名字!快点!”他仍然抓着我说,“指给我看你住在哪儿!”
“先生,我叫皮普,我住在那边的村庄里。”
他抓起我,又把我上下颠倒。
我的口袋里除了一块剩面包外一无所有。他狼吞虎咽地两口吃下,又把我放回墓石上。
“那么,你的爸爸妈妈在哪儿 ”他问道。
“先生,在那儿,”我指着那里的坟墓回答。
当他看到我所指的地方时,他大叫一声:“什么!”然后他拔腿就要跑。“噢!”他说,“我明白了,他们已经死了。嘿,你跟谁一起生活 但是,我是否让你活着还没决定。”
“和我姐姐在一起,先生,她是铁匠乔·葛吉瑞的妻子。”
“你说,铁匠 ”他低下头看看自己的腿,然后抱住我,用凶狠的眼光盯着我的双眼。
“你看这儿,给我带把锉刀来。你知道什么是锉刀吗 再给我弄点吃的来。”

小说故事的发展大致可分成三个部分。第一部分记述了皮普在乡间的质朴的童年生活。一次偶然的机会他遇见了一名逃犯,并偷了家里的东西帮助他。不久,皮普受邀到哈维沙姆小姐的萨蒂斯大院玩耍,从此内心发生了变化。他爱上了美丽却冷漠的埃斯特拉,开始为自己的出身及亲人感到害臊。一天,皮普突然受到一位不愿透露姓名的人士的资助。被送到伦敦接受上等人的教育,他为此欣喜若狂。
故事的第二部分主要描写了皮普在伦敦接受教育的经历。由于受到上层社会势利习气的传染,皮普过着奢靡堕落的生活,道德品质也变得低下。他一直以为是哈维沙姆小姐匿名资助他接受高尚教育,然而,真正“恩人”的出现使他不得不重新面对现实。
小说最后一部分记叙了皮普保护潜逃回国的流放犯马格威奇的经历。虽然马格威奇最终难逃被捕的命运,但是在一系列的变故中,皮普最终回归人性之美,深切地体会到友情和亲情的可贵。
