今天，是暑假第一天，我和妈妈要去美国旅游了，好期待啊!

先去香港国际机场，一个叔叔把我们送到了那里，没怎么堵车都要了2个小时呢。

到了飞机场，我和妈妈在洗手间外面，我忽然看见了一个人跪着，手放在胸前的牌子。我很好奇，就拉着妈妈的手去看。哦!是祈祷室!原来有些国家的人每天都要祈祷，他们就可以来这个房间。

我们先值了机，然后吃饭。在麦当劳吃的，吃了汉堡和可乐，好好吃呀!

去纽约的飞机3点55分开始检票，可是现在才1点多呀，干什么呢?我玩IPAD2，妈妈在网上工作。

不知不觉，2个小时一下子就过去了，飞机开始检票了!真是快!

飞机很快就起飞了，我和妈妈躺着睡觉，但睡不着。

我不时打开窗户看。有一次，我看见窗户上有许多针叶一样的小东西，仔细一看：呀!原来是结了冰花呀!好漂亮!外面真是veryvery的冷!

早上7点多，也就是美国的晚上6点多，飞机快到了。

最后我再看时，竟然已经飞到了纽约后面的海上，难道飞过了?果然，飞机开始掉头，真有趣!后来我才知道是交通管制。

7点多，飞机到达了目的地——纽约。

下了飞机，我们就开始找一个已经在网上预定好了的酒店。

先是在门口问了两个人，他们告诉我们：先乘机场快线到一个站，然后再转7号线到Quneensboraplaza站就到了。果真，我们到了酒店。好不容易有时间看表了，一看：呀!10点半了!赶快睡觉吧!

今天就这样结束了，看我们能不能把时差倒过来!

三、范文储备

1、It have been discussed for a long time that how to deal with the uncivilized behaviors during the travel, such as write on the place of historic interests, or claim to old trees. This kind of things happened in China more often than any other countries. What can we do to prevent those actionsThough we have advocate education of the tourists for years, the situation was not better than be imagined. In my opinion, we still have to encourage the education of our tourists, but with some change. For example, we should not only disseminate “Don’t Do Sth.”, but also with the reason and an explanation that it is not cool to sign names or words everywhere, in the contrary, we have to ashamed of that. Make a comparison between foreigners and us can also increase our consciousness.

consider... 考虑

2、7天长假好吗 （旅游途中人满为患的拥堵等）？

Some people can use the seven days reading books or studying, and you know when they are working, they dont have time to do it.

Since most people dont have other vacation time, everybody is travelling during the week-long holidays, so at the beginning and the end of the holidays, place such like airports, train station, long-distance bus station are often over-crowd, for example, in last labor day holiday i went to beach. I want to enjoy the beauty of the seashores and was planning to swim, but when I reached the long-distance bus station, I found that people were everywhere. I swore I would never go travelling in a week-long holiday again.

3、自助游还是报团游

With peoples living standard raised more and more in the recent years, they tend to choose travelling in their spare time. Some people like to choose package tour, while others prefer independent tour.

Actually, both package tour and independent tour have their own advantages and disadvantages, which is largely dependent on peoples time, money, and the number of people who plan to be on a tour.

As for me, I am in favor of package tour, because the travel agency will help me arrange for anything about the tour, including the tickets for the train or airplane, for hotels, and for sightseeing. And what I should do is just enjoy the whole journey without worrying about the details.

Tourism in China

Recent years have seen a tency in China that tourism is growing faster. According to a recent survey made by some experts, about 47% urban resits travel regularly, and 28% rural resits also make their tour across the country. The survey also shows that more people are interested in tourism, and will join the army in the future.

Facing this tency, we can&’t help exploring some underlying factors that are responsible. In the very first place, with the policy of reform and opening up, Chinese people&’s living standard has been greatly improved, and therefore, most of them can afford to travel around. What&’s more, it is believed that people now take a more positive attitude to tourism, and regard it as a life style. In addition, tourism facilities are becoming better and better. For example, transportation develops fast, and many scenic spots are available now.

【译文】

中国旅游

最近几年，在中国的趋势，旅游业增长较快。根据最近的一项调查显示一些专家认为，约47%城镇居民定期作出旅行，28%的农村居民，也使他们的全国巡演。该调查还显示，更多的人在旅游有兴趣，并会在将来加入军队。

面对这一趋势，我们不能不说是负责任的开发一些潜在因素。在第一个地方，随着改革开放政策，对中国人民的生活水平有了很大提高，因此，他们大多数都不能周游。更重要的是，它相信，人们现在更积极的态度，旅游业，把它作为一种生活方式。此外，旅游设施正在变得越来越好。例如，交通运输发展迅速，许多景点都已经上市。

Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment?

Tourism has developed by leaps and bounds in the past decades in the whole world. Therefore, the issue of whether the tourism will bring harm to the environment is becoming a matter of concern. As for me, I hold that the tourism does more harm than good to the world.

In the first place, the more places we travel to , the more pressure will be added to the environment. Take Dunhuang as an example, the greatest scourge these days comes from the tourists who swarm here by the busload , bring destructive amounts of carbon dioxide and moisture into the caves along with their eagerness for a glimpse of ages past .

Secondly, It has become fashionable for travelers to drive a private car to the place they want to . In this case ,a large number of cars are mushroomed in the road and it cause twice as much as air pollution .At this speed ,we may live in a world which is full of dirty air instead of fresh air.

In sum , although tourism is playing an indispensable role in the society , I still believe that we`d better try to limit its speed according to the harm that brings to the environment.

美国，一个历史只有两百年的国家却比许多历史悠久的国家更强大。这一次，我就来到美国，参观了他们自由精神的象征自由女神像。

自由女神像全名为：自由女神铜像国家纪念牌，位于纽约市的海港内，用金属制造，是法国在1876年赠送给美国独立100周年的礼物(其实是因为：当时英国和法国是敌对关系，美国和英国也是敌对关系，所以，法国认为帮助美国就相当于打英国)。

我们来到了纽约的海港，一上船，海风就朝我们吹过来，“春风”拂面，有一种神清气爽的感觉。

“翁……翁……”船开始颤抖，紧接着，船两岸的建筑物动了。哦!不是，是船开动了。这时船的左侧出现了自由女神像。很明显，自由女神像是绿色的，她穿这连衣裙，举着火炬，高高的耸立在海边上。从远看，她就像一个小孩，举着火炬，脸上布满了欢笑，庆祝这美国独立100周年。好像在说：美国独立100年了!

船开始渐渐逼近自由女神像，自由女神像“越来越大”，这时，我清楚地看到，她得头上还戴着一个“皇冠”，皇冠上的“柱子”和“皇冠”成垂体，搭配的非常完美。

这时，从近看，她又像一个美若天仙的少女，高举着象征着自由的火炬，庆祝美国独立100周年这一美妙的时刻。

美国，一个神秘的国家，在那里还有很多类似于自由女神像的建筑物，等待着你的参观。

Last winter holiday, I went to shanghai with my mother.

It＇s very cold in winter. There is snow and ice everywhere and you are always in a white world. You must wear warm clothes. The most exciting thing is playing with snow. Skating is also very interesting there.

I will＇ always remember shanghai, for the snow, the ice and all the beautiful things. I love shanghai.

With the general standard of living improving and the working week becoming shorter， more and more people are able to make a holiday trip to places of interest. While many like to join package tours fro convenience， I prefer to travel on my own.

I like travelling on may own not only because it costs much less but because it gives a great degree of independence and freedom. Travelling on my own， I’m my own boss； and can decide when to start on my way， where to linger a little longer and which spot can be skipped over to save energy or time for another spot. I can always adjust my plan. On the contrary， in a package tour you‘re deprived of as much freedom as in a military base. At the sound of the whistle， you have to jump up from a sound sleep and， with heavy-lidded eyes， hurry to the gathering place where you are collected and counted to board a coach. At the sight of the little flag waving， you must immediately take yourself away from the scenes you are marveling at and follow the guide whose sole interest is to cover all spots according to him strict schedule， regardless of the weather or your health condition.

True，you may encounter inconveniences if you travel inpidually，for instance， getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals. But nothing can be compared with the freedom which is vital to a person who takes a holiday trip mainly to escape from constraints of his routine life.

随着人们生活水平的提高和工作时间的缩短，越来越多的人能够去旅游景点度假旅行。而许多想参加旅行团摇来摇去方便，我喜欢在我自己的旅行。我喜欢旅行，可以自己不仅因为它的价格要便宜得多，因为它给了很大程度的独立和自由。我独自去旅游，我是自己的老板；可以决定什么时候出发上路，在那里逗留久一点，哪一点可以跳过了一个景点节省精力和时间。我可以随时调整我的计划。相反，在包价旅游你剥夺尽可能自由的一个军事基地。在口哨的声音，你要跳起来从睡，沉重的眼皮，赶去聚会的地方，你正在收集和统计上的教练。在小国旗飘扬的景象，你必须立即把自己远离你希奇的场景和跟踪指导的唯一的兴趣是根据他走过所有风景点严格的时间表，无论天气或你的健康状况。真的，你可能会遇到麻烦如果你单独旅行，比如，得到住宿过夜，找地方吃饭。但没有什么可以是一个人度假旅行主要是为了逃避他的日常生活的约束自由比较重要。

Three hundred years ago,the emigrants from England arrived at Maryland acrossing the Atlantic by "May Flower" to search for a "pure"land for the puritans to live.Since then American Dream has come up.America gives every person all over the world equal rights.people can achieve their dreams by hardworking.

When it comes to the 21st century-the information age,Bill Gatess success indicated that only if you have wisdom and talent,you can succeed in America.But American Dream has changed,compared with its original meanings.Whats the true motivation behind American Dream?Some historians considered it the thirst for wealth .Pursuing money is the eternal theme of American Dream.However,the over pursuit of wealth makes American Dream turn bad and lost its attraction to people worldwide gradually.

As the changes of the times,the influence of American Dream may become less and less.An increasing number of people confess to having lost faith in the American Dream.

Hong Kong is one of the two special administrative regions (SARs) of the Peoples Republic of China, along with Macau. Comprising more than 260 islands, the territory is located on the eastern side of the Pearl River Delta, bordering Guangdong province in the north and facing the South China Sea in the east, west and south.

Hong Kong was a Crown colony of the United Kingdom from 1842 until the transfer of sovereignty to the Peoples Republic of China in 1997. The Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law of Hong Kong stipulate that Hong Kong will operate with a high degree of autonomy until at least 2047, fifty years after the transfer. Under the policy of "one country, two systems", the Central Peoples Government is responsible for the territorys defence and foreign affairs, while Hong Kong maintains its own legal system, police force, monetary system, customs policy, immigration policy, and delegates to international organizations and events.

Hong Kong is frequently described as a city where East meets West, a meeting reflected in its economic infrastructure, education, legal system and street culture. On one street corner, there may be traditional Chinese shops selling Chinese herbal medicine, Buddhist paraphernalia or bowls of synthetic shark fin soup. But around the next, one may find theatres showing the latest Hollywood blockbuster, a British-style pub, a Catholic Church or Ronald McDonald inviting passer-bys to a Big Mac. The territorys official language is Chinese and English; signs in both languages are omnipresent throughout Hong Kong. The government, police and most workplaces and stores conduct business bilingually. British rule may have ended a decade ago but Western culture is deeply ingrained in Hong Kong and coexists seamlessly with traditional philosophy and practices of the Orient.

Hong Kong has an active nightlife centred on two major entertainment districts, Lan Kwai Fong (Central) and Wan Chai. Both areas are frequented by expatriates and locals alike. For a more quiet evening, a trip to Victoria Peak offers a spectacular view of the city. There is also a promenade along the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, which is popular among young Chinese couples. Shopping, a form of entertainment for the people of Hong Kong, is even done at nighttime as evident in the Temple Street Night Market where one can also catch free performances of Peking opera.

The citys cosmopolitan flavour can also be seen in the wide variety of cuisines available. While different varieties of Chinese selections, especially seafood, are most popular, there are also many European, American, Japanese, Korean, and other restaurants. Ethnic dishes served in cha chaan teng and dai pai dong are also popular. The people of Hong Kong take their food seriously and many top chefs make their way to the city to show off their talents to these discerning diners.

While Hong Kong is a global centre of trade, perhaps the citys most famous export is its entertainment industry, particularly in the martial arts genre. Several top-notch Hollywood performers originate from Hong Kong cinema -- Bruce Lee, Chow Yun-Fat, Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, Jet Li and Leslie Cheung, to name a few. Behind the camera, Hong Kong filmmakers have also struck fortune in Hollywood such as John Woo, Wong Kar-wai, Tsui Hark and martial arts choreographers who have designed fight scenes in the Matrix trilogy, Kill Bill and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Back in Hong Kong, several homegrown films have also gained international recognition such as Chungking Express, Infernal Affairs, Shaolin Soccer, Rumble in the Bronx and In the Mood for Love. Acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has said hes strongly influenced by Hong Kong action cinema.

The Hong Kong government also supports cultural institutions such as the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, Hong Kong Museum of Art, the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. Furthermore, the governments Leisure and Cultural Services Department also subsidizes and sponsors the bringing of international performers to Hong Kong.

很久以前，我就向往她，在梦里，我的心常漂洋过海来到那遥远的国度——美国。他的全名美利坚合众国，是由五十个州和一个联邦直辖特区组成的联邦共和制国家，东濒大西洋，西临太平洋，北靠加拿大，南接墨西哥，是一个多文化、多种族的国家。我们这次旅行便是其中的加利福尼亚州，加利福尼亚州位于美国西部，是美国经济最发达、人口最多的州。

在进入机场的一瞬间，我突然意识到，我马上要走了，要离开我生活了十二年的国家了，经过漫长的安检，终于来到了候机大厅，登机口前的人群像一条长龙，以极慢的速度向前蔓延着，我的心情非常激动，这是我第一次坐飞机，按捺不住兴奋急切的心情，我几乎飞着进了飞机。坐在座椅上，系好安全带，我甚至能依稀听见自己的心跳，不一会儿，飞机两旁的景物渐渐移动起来，接着，它们迅速地朝后方跑去。机翼微微向下翻转，飞机便像轻盈的小鸟一般腾空而起。景物渐渐变小，直到洁白的云层挡住了朦胧的视野。

经过十三个小时的漫长征程，汪洋不见了，取而代之的是大面积的陆地，“噔”地一下，飞机着陆了，随着乘务员富有磁性的声音，走过长长的通道，我踏上了美国的土地。

我的寄宿家庭女主人叫安，是一位善良而富有爱心的人，她有一头金黄色的头发，一双蓝色的眼睛，经常穿着休闲装，和蔼慈祥，安有四个孩子，其中两个还不到十岁，分别是艾丽和玛丽。安家的房子并不大，是用木材筑成的，冬暖夏凉，前院的一侧有一排挺拔的松树，虽然没有修葺，但十分整齐，绿茵茵的草地覆盖了前院，一只胖嘟嘟的小猫趴在草坪上打盹。房子后院与前院截然不同，全无小草的绿，而是水的蓝，清澈的水波在泳池里荡漾开来。“微风拂细柳，皎月映清泉”，用这句话形容后院再恰当不过了。每当晚饭过后，我便与艾丽和玛丽在泳池里游泳、玩水上排球。起先，在他们凌厉的攻势下，我屡屡失意，后来，我逐渐掌握了技巧，就是在拍球前一秒钟跳起来，这样便会得心应手，但是，后来他们使诈利用假动作，令我眼花缭乱，打的我措手不及。

在美国的这段日子里，我们通常吃西餐，安为我们做了两次中餐，她蒸米饭时总爱放类似于胡椒的调味品，安做的糖醋里脊味道鲜美，带有独特的异国风情，真是大饱口福。美国人的厨房极少见到油烟，他们通常烘烤或蒸煮食物。吃西餐也是很讲究的，当嘴里嚼着食物时，不要说话或喝水。用餐结束要把刀叉交插放在盘中……，刚开始很不习惯，但入乡随俗，尊重他们的饮食习惯。东西方的饮食习惯是截然不同的，东方的早餐一般喝粥，讲究养生，西方则有些“肆无忌惮”早餐很随意。东方人认为午饭是正餐，西方人则认为晚饭是正餐。而且，东方吃素食多，西方人以肉食为主。

每天最惬意得事情就是洗澡了，洗澡可以脱去烦恼，洗去疲惫，但是，当你裹着浴巾从热哄哄的浴室里出来时，千万别忘了，用毛巾把地板擦干净，因为美国人的卫生间是没有地漏的。

我们参观的第一个景点是环球影城，环球影城座落在洛杉矶的好莱坞，其代表建筑是门前银白色的地球。走进影城，我们游览的第一个项目是“未来水世界”，讲述的是一群水手运用智慧战胜海盗取得胜利的故事，场面十分壮观，据说，单是这一个摄影棚，就拍出了一部旷世之作，不能不感叹当今科技的发达啊!接着，我们乘坐游览车来到了由数百个摄影棚连成的城镇区。立刻让我感到耳目一新，高楼大厦，鳞次栉比，排列着各种风格的建筑物，建筑界的瑰宝济济一堂，仿佛是一座浓缩的世界，使人心旷神怡。游览结束后，我回过头想跟它说再见时，却惊讶地呆住了，在每个建筑物后，是一个个冰冷的铁架，而那些所谓的建筑物，都只是一层布，真是逼真至极，足以以假乱真了。

在惊讶之余，我们进了一个山洞，不时传来恐龙的嚎叫声，看见人类的头骨，整个山洞弥漫着恐怖的气息。突然，石壁上出现了许多恐龙，他们悠闲自在地生活着，场面温馨，可好景不长，霸王龙来了，安逸的生活别打破了，在霸王龙的撕扯下，游览车剧烈地摇晃起来，好像散架似得。最后，游览车拖着“残肢”冲出了山洞。

迪士尼乐园是我从小向往的地方。踏进大门，映入眼帘的是卡通人物，聪明的米奇，漂亮的米尼，憨厚的高飞，可爱的唐纳德，忠诚的布鲁托……。

一座高高的假山，里面是水的世界，这就是激流勇进了，我们搭上一条船，渐渐朝山顶驶去，山洞里是无边的黑暗，只有“嗒嗒”的闹钟声才知道时间在流逝。突然，措不及防地“轰”一下，船猛然俯冲了下去，淹没在水流中的尖叫声随着船一起冲下了假山……。

此外，雪山车也是十分刺激的，一条长长的隧道里有漫天的繁星，看起来像美丽的宇宙，我们坐在车中观赏美景，正当我陶醉在如花的宇宙中时，车子像离弦的箭一般冲了出去。此时，隧道不再是美丽的宇宙，而成了一个令人毛骨悚然的黑洞，车依旧飞奔着，但轨道却翻转了九十度，渐渐向下俯冲，直到前方出现了一丝亮光，“咚”地一声，我们被重重地抛出了隧道。

游完迪士尼我们来到了丹麦城，这里是当初殖民统治时期，丹麦人的领地，因时代保留了丹麦的生活方式和建筑风格而得名。这里高大的风车随处可见，使我不禁浮想联翩，广褒的草原上有白色的野花点缀，不时传来牧人的号角，牛羊在静静地吃草，“吱呀”转的风车旁，河水潺潺地流着……。丹麦城一行使我看到与美式不同的欧式建筑风格，我不禁感慨美国果然是一个多文化、多种族的国家啊!

最后一站我们来到了久负盛名的斯坦福大学，斯坦福大学是世界一流的学府，当初是为那些因贫困而上不起学的学生创办的。我很早就想一睹它的风光，今天终于如愿以偿了。黄色拱形大门掩映在万花丛中，微风拂面带来幽幽花香沁人心脾。斯坦福大学给人以古朴典雅，置身其中，连风中也带有幽幽古韵。参观完斯坦福后，我对他有了更深的了解。东西方文化的差异，使东西方的学府也各有不同，比如：斯坦福和清华大学，斯坦福的建筑以欧美风格为主，清华则是中西结合;斯坦福的教育是开发潜能，清华在这方面尚有欠缺;斯坦福的绿化多草与花，清华则是多树木

这次激情的美国之旅，不仅使我开阔了眼界，学到了知识，更使我了解了东西方文化的差异，真是一次难忘的旅行啊!

[介绍美国旅游的作文

Last summer vacationmy family and I went to Qingdao by train.There was always sunshine and fresh airwhich made us so comfortable.We went to the seasidethe sea was as blue as the skyand bathing in the sunshine on the beach was really an enjoyable thing.I also picked up a lot of colorful shells with my little sister.There we bought many interesting souvenirsI was planing to send them to my friends.We ate many tings theresuch as fishprawnand so on.They are very delicious.Then we lived in a clean and tidy hoteland the price was not so expensive.I like Qingdao very muchand if I got a chanceI hope to come here againit is such a beautiful and interesting place.

今天一大早，我们就乘机前往旧金山游玩。其中，令我印象最深刻的是参观英特尔博物馆。

刚一抵达博物馆一阵强烈的科学气息扑面而来，跨进大门以前那些不可思议的幻象，现在在我眼中通通变成了现实，最特别是，我居然看到了“解剖”电脑的内部，使人想起了五花八门，弯弯曲曲的九曲迷宫。

平时我们见到的电脑总是那么方便，带给人们许多益处，可有谁想过它的内部是多么复杂呢?今天我终于见识到电脑的来之不易。电脑中，最主要的就是芯片，远看芯片它像一条无边无际没有尽头的迷宫，芯片虽小，可要做出一片真难呢!

首先，得把芯片底部的铁片切好，可底部的铁片可是得用极硬的金钢丝才能砌成，在制作芯片过程中，制做人员必须得保持全身上下干干净净，因为在制作过程中，芯片内部不能沾一丝灰尘。否则，以前的功夫可就前功尽弃了!整个制作过程必须十二万分小心，而每一个零件都需精挑细选，无微不至，可想而知，一部电脑是由多少个“无微不至”组成的呀!

虽要制造出一台电脑十分艰难，但世界的精英们，就是在这种高难度的情况下磨练而成的。只要努力，其实生活、世界也可以由自己创造。今天我以人类为骄傲，明天人类以我为自豪。
