篇6:香港旅游英文作文
全文共 4109 字
+ 加入清单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.

我的心砰砰跳着来到台前,面对这么多观众,我有些害怕,不过我很快就又镇静下来,用流利的英语说出了开场白,也许是在我的带动下,下面的演出十分顺利。就拿中间的一段来说吧,当服务员的罗童尧多次给薛博文“换汤”,还不时说:“对不起,先生。”而既是厨师,又是经理的我,则把动作做得十分形象,得到了大家的赞叹和掌声。

篇11:星星英文

+ 加入清单During the summer holidays, I went to my grandmothers home. One evening after supper, I stood on the balcony to look at the sky.
The stars in the sky were twinkling. Some were crowded, and others were separate. Then I found that the stars were not the same colour. They were white, grey, light blue and orange. It was really beautiful. At that time, the sky was like blue damask decorated by millions of bright dimonds.
Looking up at the sky, I saw the moon. It was like a naughty child, sometimes it hid in the clouds and sometimes it got out of the clouds. It seemed to play “hide and seek” with us. The stars around the moon, however, were as shy as girls, and hid themselves in the clouds.
Oh, what a beautiful sky!
在暑假期间,我去了我奶奶家。晚餐后的一个晚上,我站在阳台上看天空。
天上的星星闪烁着。有些人很拥挤,有些人则是分开的。然后我发现星星不一样的颜色。他们是白色,灰色,浅蓝色和橙色。真漂亮。那时候,天空是蓝色的缎子数以百万计的明亮的钻石装饰。
抬头望着天空,我看到了月亮。它就像一个顽皮的孩子,有时它藏在云层里,有时它就从云层里出来了。它似乎和我们玩“捉捉”。然而,月亮周围的星星,像女孩一样害羞,并躲在云层里。
哦,多么美丽的天空!

篇16:希望世界和平作文英文
全文共 2358 字
+ 加入清单From ancient times to the present, the war continues, what causes the war? Resources, territory, property have become the main cause of the war.
In 1937, Japan launched a war against China. The reason is very simple. Japan is an island country with poor resources, and is at the junction of the Pacific and Eurasian plates. Earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis make the Japanese people feel fear and uneasiness. In a word, a lot of people are at risk of sinking at any time in a overloaded ship. So Japan wants to expand its territory and point its spearhead to China.
After the end of the two world, Japan is a defeated country, forcing Japan to sign the "Peace Constitution", not allowing Japan to own its own army, but to have defensive weapons, so the Japanese army is the self defense force.
In Sino Japanese peaceful exchanges, the two countries economy has been developing by leaps and bounds. After the Japanese nuclear disaster, the Japanese economy almost collapsed, and China pulled the Japanese economy out of the mire. Peaceful development is good for every country, but in April 2012, when Shintaro Ishihara spoke in the US in Tokyo, Japan suddenly threw aside the topic of Japanese governments purchase of the Diaoyu Islands. In fact, Shintaro Ishihara bought the Diaoyu Island for his son, Ishihara Nobuhirono, to run for the Democratic Party. I hate him, because I think Shintaro Ishihara is too selfish to push the topic to the Japanese government for his son.
Ishihara also donated money from the Japanese people to the government, and Fukuda Kahiko could not force it. The government had to stand, or cant cross national front. This irresponsible attitude has made the two sides start to go to zero. If China really began to use economic means, actually, though Japan suffered serious losses, Chinas losses were also great.
Yes, Chinas national strength has risen, but under the conditions of peace, the development of China is so fast. If the Chinese and Japanese War, only 50% of Chinas chance to win. Although Japan is only a self-defense force, its military force is far greater than China.
So, I love peace, and I want to appeal to other people to love peace. We all hope for peace. So I hope that Japan will come back to the track of peace negotiations. Only in this way will Asia peace, and the friendship between countries and countries!
篇17:放飞梦想的英文作文
全文共 1682 字
+ 加入清单i am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
five score years ago, a great american, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the emancipation proclamation. this momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. it came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
but one hundred years later, the negro still is not free. one hundred years later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. one hundred years later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. one hundred years later, the negro is still languished in the corners of american society and finds himself an exile in his own land. and so weve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
in a sense weve come to our nations capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable rights" of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
