Do you collect camels

Do you collect camels?

Sudan is Africa's largest country. Its capital city is Khartoum. In the centre of Khartoum sits the Post and Telecommunications Office It's a big, old braiding. If you mail a letter to Sudan, your letter comes here -- to this building. All the mail for Sudan comes here.

For stamp collectors, it is a famous place. It is the home of Sudan's "Camel" stamps.

One hundred years ago, the post office in Sudan used camels to deliver the mail. It also used boats and cows. However, when people think of mail Sudan, they think of the "desert postman" the camel.

Before airplanes, trains and truck it was difficult to deliver the mail m Sudan. The country is very large about 2.5 billion square kilometres. Canals and riders traveled long distances across the dry plains and deserts. The camels carried the bags of mail across their backs. The riders rode on top of the mail. Can you picture how that looked?

Sudan's "Camel" stamps remember this unusual type of mail delivery.

Sudan made its first "Camel" stamps in 1898. Since then, Sudan has made many "Camel" stamps. The colours of the stamps have changed over the years, but the camel itself has stayed the same.

初中英语语法复习:动词的分类

2010年中考英语汇总--动词的分类概念:表示动作中状态的词叫做动词。 动词的分类 1.按照在句子中的功能,动词可分为四类:实义动词、系动词、助动词、情态动词。 说明:某些情况下,有些动词既可做实义动词,又可做助动词,例如: We are having a meeting.我们正在开会。(having是实义动词。) He has gone to New York.他已去纽约。(has是助动词。) 2. 按照后面是否有宾语,分为两类:及物动词(vt)、不及物动词(vi)。 说明:同一动词有时可用作及物动词,有时可用作不及物动词。例如: She can dance and sing.她能唱歌又能跳舞。(sing在此用作不及物动词。) She can sing many English songs. 她能唱好多首英文歌曲。(sing用作及物动词。) 3. 根据是否受主语的限制,分两类:限定动词、非限定动词。例如: She sings very well. 她唱得很好。(sing受主语she的限制,故用第三人称单数形式sings.) She wants to learn English well. 她想学好英语。(to learn不受主语she的限制,没有词形变化,是非限定动词。) 说明:英语中共有三种非限定动词,分别是:动词不定式、动名词、分词。 在这里我们多说一下to+动词原型,和ing形式。英语不同于我们的汉语,不可以两个动词联用。如,我们汉语说,我喜欢吃苹果。其中“喜欢”和“吃”是两个动词,汉语这样说没有问题,如果翻译成英语,就变成了“I like eat apple.”这种说法按照英语的规定是不对的。那怎么办呢,于是就在两个动词之间多了一个“to”,或者把第二个词加上ing.于是就变成了“I like to eat apple.或者I like eatting apple”这样说来,动词是不是很简单啦! 4.根据动词的组成形式,可分为三类:单字词、短语动词、动词短语。例如: The English language contains many phrasal verbs and verbal phrases. 英语里有许多短语动词和动词短语。(contains是单字动词。) Students should learn to look up new words in dictionaries. 学生们学会查字典。(look up是短语动词。) The young ought to take care of the old. 年轻人应照料老人。(take care of是动词短语。) 5.动词有五种形态:原形、第三人称单数形式、过去式、过去分词、现在分词。

幼儿园超简单的英语小故事

少儿幼儿园英语小故事 A Good Boy Little Robert asked his mother for two cents. "What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday?" "I gave it to a poor old woman," he answered. "You're a good boy," said the mother proudly. "Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman?" "She is the one who sells the candy." 好孩子 小罗伯特向妈妈要两分钱。 “昨天给你的钱干什么了?” “我给了一个可怜的老太婆,”他回答说。“你真是个好孩子,”妈妈骄傲地说。“再给你两分钱。可你为什么对那位老太太那么感兴趣呢?” “她是个卖糖果的。” The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鸽子 A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders. Zeal should not outrun discretion. 有只鸽子口渴得很难受,看见画板上画着一个水瓶,以为是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飞过去,不料一头碰撞在画板上,折断了翅膀,摔在地上,被人轻易地捉住了。 这是说,有些人想急于得到所需的东西,一时冲动,草率从事,就会身遭不幸。The Raven and the Swan乌鸦和天鹅 A RA VEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished. Change of habit cannot alter Nature. 乌鸦非常羡慕天鹅洁白的羽毛。他猜想天鹅一定是经常洗澡,羽毛才变得如此洁白无瑕。于是,他毅然离开了他赖以生存的祭坛,来到江湖边。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛,不但一点都没洗白,反而因缺少食物饥饿而死。 这故事是说,人的本性不会随着生活方式的改变而改变。 The Goat and the Goatherd 山羊与牧羊人 A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent."
