童话故事能把抽象的知识和道理形象化地表现出来,符合幼儿的智力发展特点,也能适应儿童的心理特征,下面这些是我为大家推荐的几篇。 1:A Visit to Asia Liz was excited. She was going to Asia with her mom. Neither of them had ever traveled out of the United States before. They were going to fly to Hong Kong. After staying in Hong Kong for three nights, they would travel on their cruise ship to Shanghai and Beijing. "Beijing is inland, so we have to take about a two-hour bus ride to get there from the port. I forget the name of the port. Anyway, we're going to see the Great Wall, the Tiananmen Square, and the Forbidden City. It’s going to be so cool!" she told her neighbor Jane. From China, the cruise ship would go to Pusan in South Korea, and finally to Tokyo. From Tokyo, they would catch a flight back to Los Angeles. "The trip is going to last three weeks. It's only going to cost us $2,800 each, IF we can control our urge to shop," she laughed. "I hope your trip is more fun than mine was," said Jane. "I took a cruise to the Bahamas, but almost all the passengers got sick. I caught some kind of virus that made me throw up for almost three days. They gave us a discount that we could use on a future trip. Ha! No more cruising for me." "We've heard about those disasters," said Liz. "Mom and I are going to be washing our hands every 30 minutes, and we're bringing surgical masks with us." 2:The Breakup Myra told Myron that they shouldn’t see each other for a while. Her doctor had suggested that she take a short vacation from her job and a long vacation from Myron. "What did you tell him about me?" Myron asked. She told her doctor that she had dreams about Myron leaving her. She sometimes dreamed that he pushed her out of his car in the middle of nowhere. She would be crying on the side of the road in the middle of the night, cold and scared, as the taillights disappeared. "What kind of dream is that?" Myron's voice was loud. “Do you think I would ever do that to you?" She said that she didn’t know. "You don’t know?! Of course I wouldn’t do that to you! I love you!" Myra asked Myron to lower his voice. She no longer believed that he loved her. One day, feeling low and insecure, she had told Myron that it would be nice to get away for the weekend. Perhaps they could go to a quiet resort in the mountains. He told her that he was playing golf that Saturday. Maybe they could go to a resort another time. She was astounded. "I needed you that weekend. Instead, you preferred to play golf. Now there is a shadow on my heart that nothing can remove," she told him sadly. 3:GEICO's TV Lizard Nowadays, GEICO is a well-known insurance pany. For many years, however, it was unnoticed. Other panies, like Allstate and Farmers, were more popular. Then GEICO tried something different; it got a new ad agency. The owner of the agency, Billy Ray Childers, was from Virginia. Years ago, he had tried to start his own agency in Manhattan. But when New Yorkers heard his southern accent, they gave him the cold shoulder. Angry, Billy Ray returned to Virginia. Someday, he hoped to teach those New Yorkers a lesson. He set up his new ad agency in Raleigh. Then he called up GEICO headquarters in New York. He told them that they could improve their sales if they used a gecko to advertise GEICO. They balked at first, but then approved his ad campaign. In the new mercial, the animated lizard said, "I'm a gecko, not a GEICO." GEICO was originally going to do one TV mercial with the bright green lizard, and then retire it. But viewers, especially women, fell in love with the cute gecko. So GEICO decided to do a few more mercials. And then a few more. The clever lizard with the British accent is now eight years old and stars in a new mercial every several months. It has made GEICO famous - almost as famous as the gecko itself! 的人还: 1.经典少儿英语故事阅读 2.适合儿童的英语寓言故事 3.儿童经典英语小故事 4.幼儿园英语故事 5.儿童英语故事阅读
