关于厦门的英文作文（通用20篇）

今天，我和爸爸妈妈一起来到远近闻名的海港城市――厦门，早就听说厦门是个美丽的城市，今天终于有机会一暏它的风采，心里无比高兴。

一下飞机，我看了看四周，只见天空是那么蓝，空气是那么清新，大海是那么广阔，我时我真想高歌一曲，又或是坐下来低吟一首奇妙的小诗……

我迫不及待地冲向沙滩，软软的细沙像地毯一样那么舒服，我在沙滩上欢快地跳起来，蹦起来……啊大海是那么深蓝，像一副画，我游入大海，舔了一下海水，哇又咸又苦，又舔了下，还是这样苦涩的味道，我终于尝到了真正海水的味道！海浪任意地打在我身上，我随着浪花在海里沉浮，像一只小船乘风破浪，遥望着海对面的台湾岛，心里多么希望台湾人民能早日回到祖国母亲的怀抱，又望望蔚蓝色的大海，情不自禁地陶醉了。…。

接着，我们来到了著名的厦门大学，它堪称中国最美的大学，进入学校，里面绿树成荫，面积很大，跟一座小镇差不多，里面设有马路、人行道、红绿灯……里面还有十几个学生餐馆，每个餐馆都像个酒店，干净卫生，装修得十分典雅。学生公寓就是一排排小洋楼，教学楼更是没话说了，红墙绿瓦，高大宏伟，我们漫步在校内，心情十分惬意。

下午，我们坐游轮来到了厦门有名的景区――鼓浪屿。鼓浪屿被誉为海上花园，是个复古又美丽的小岛，上面有很多小路，很多小吃，还有很多景点如钢琴博物馆、各国领事馆旧址、古老的教堂……我最喜欢的是鼓声洞，走进洞里能隐约听到一丝丝的拍鼓声，真是太美妙了！

晚上我们在岛上吃各种美食，海鲜味道特别美，我最喜欢吃清蒸海鱼，肉松松脆脆地，咬上一口汁水都流出来了，美味极了！

吃完饭我们坐在海边，吹着凉爽的海风，听着海浪拍打的声音，我又一次陶醉了……这一切太美了！

暑假里，妈妈带着我去了厦门游玩。厦门一年四季气候温和，景色宜人，是个旅游的好地方。

第一天，我们来到了厦门大学。一进门，就看到了一个大大的湖，不远处的湖面上，还游着几只鸭子和黑天鹅呢，厦大真好玩，像一个公园。 沿着湖绕了一圈，我发现厦大里的游客比学生还多呢，妈妈告诉我，到厦门旅游的人，都喜欢到厦大来参观，因为厦大是一所重点大学，是我国有名的高校之一。我在心里暗暗地想：我一定要好好学习，将来考上这所大学。

第二天，我们去了厦门最有名的景点鼓浪屿。鼓浪屿是一座小岛，在那里，我们游览了菽庄花园，参观了钢琴博物馆。吃饭时，我问妈妈：“岛上有交通工具吗？”妈妈告诉我，这里的居民没有任何的交通工具，只有给游客乘坐的电瓶车。晚上，我们来到了厦门最繁华的中山路，这里是一条步行街。第三天上午，我们去了厦门的万石植物园。

这次厦门之旅，让我学到了很多很多的知识，大大开阔了我的眼界，我真想每个假期都能让妈妈带我出门旅游一趟。

一、英语写作的特点.

The characteristics of formal writing

1.名词化趋势

I do not eat much.-->I am a light eater.

The clock on the desk reminds me of time.-->I put a clock on the desk as a reminder of time.

We once cried, laughed and disappointed.-->There were moments of tears, moments of laughter, and moments of disappointment.

注意:名词化趋势的句子当然还有动词, 目的是尽量把表达句子中心意思的那个词汇用名词表达.符合英文的习惯.

2.无灵主语(区别于被动语态)

我们中文写作中,习惯以人做主语,而英文则相反,习惯以物做主格.

More and more young students studied further in the past two decades.

-->The past two decades witnessed a growing number of young students for further study.

Looking out of the window, you will have a nice view.

-->A glance out of the window offers you a nice view.

注意: 名词化趋势和无灵主语常常是相结合的.

3.被动语态

这一点大家比较熟悉,不详细讲.比如:

Great efforts should be made to…..

What can not be denied is that….

二、句式的写作:

Main features of English sentences:

1.长短句结合

Love is patient and kind. It is never jealous, boastful, proud or rude. It keeps no record of wrong that others do. It always protects, always fruits, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails.

一般来讲,总结性的句子应当使用短句,而说理的句子应用长句.

2.并列复合句

这种句子属于十分难写的句子,也举一个例子:

He who wants to save his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for me will save it.

3.单一复合句

也就是我们常说的各种从句,不再举例.

三、Variety of sentences:

1. ”-ing & -ed” groups

e.g.

(1)Standing by the riverside, the Master sighed,” May time go on and on like this, never ceasing day and night.”

(2)Reviewing what one has learned and gaining new insights, one is fit to be a teacher.

(3)Compared with the tradition, modernity is more dynamic.

2. ”to do” groups

e.g.

To spend too much time in study is sloth; to use them too much for ornaments is affectation; to make any judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of the scholar.

3. adverb

Simply, amazingly, absurdly, broadly, practically and so on

e.g.

Intelligently applied to daily life, modern technology will surely bring benefits to the well-being of the human race.

4.介词短语

In pursuit of, in spite of (注意平时自己的收集)

e.g.

In pursuit of excellence, ever pushing up the limit, life consists in the hope born of despair.

5.主语从句

e.g.

What China needs is not more morals, but more prisons for politicians.

句子的变化还有 It is self-evident(adj) that…….和There be 这样的句子

6.倒装

(1)将一些否定性含义的副词和短语在句首,用倒装会使句子生色不少.

Never before has such a high standard been achieved.

Hardly had he arrived when she started complaining.

(2)为使描绘更加生动,与介词同形的副词可以移动到句首,而把主语放到谓语后面去.

Following the roar, out rushed a tiger from the bushes.

In came a pretty girl he had never seen before.

四、插入语

插入语可以是一个小词,也可以是一个同谓语的形式.

1.先看一个小技巧：(对there be 句型均有效)

There is, recently, a debate amongst educators that……

通俗的讲,在老外眼里,主语与谓语离的越远,句子的档次越高.

2.插入语后面再接上一个定语从句;

Direct experience, a necessary means to recognize the world, which differs from knowledge acquired from books, is a major step to the cognitive world.

再看几个同谓语从句的例子:

1.Television, one of the most pervasive and persuasive technologies, marked by the rapid growth and drastic change, has a profound impact on people’s lives.

2.Courage, a basic quality that every human being is supposed to possess when facing a dilemma, is highly cherished among young people.

3. Convention, generally accepted practice especially with regard to social behavior, has now been increasingly challenged.

平时要多积累这样的句型,使之变成自己的语言.

Tip:对同谓语的解释尽量宽泛一些,有利于句子的拉长.

对于入语加定语从句开头.

就是说:将题目中的中心词拿出来,进行宽泛的解释.

这一方法对很大一部分的考题都是有效的.

以上就是我的一点总结,希望对大家会有所帮助.

The spring Festival  coming soon! The festivel  considereded the most important one for Chinese people. It  on the first day of lunar year. It  also the day of reunion among family members.

寒假，我们去了美丽的海滨城市——厦门。

旅游的第一天，我们去了厦门最美丽的集美社区。这里绿树红花，整洁的道路两旁是屋檐高翘的大楼，充满闽南特色。阵阵海风拂过高大的树木，清新的空气让人神清气爽。我们边欣赏四周风景，边听导游介绍。在陈嘉庚公园里，我们看到了很有特色的青石浮雕，辛亥革命、武昌起义、开国大典……许多重大历史事件都在青石上被一一雕刻出来，听着导游娓娓动听的介绍，我仿佛来到了那些历史事件的现场，感受到伟人们为国家、为民族英勇奋战，舍生忘死……追忆往事，我心潮起伏，更加珍惜今天的幸福生活。

第二天我们坐轮船去了鼓浪屿。那里的天格外蓝，云格外白。一辆汽车都没有，只能靠走。导游把我们带到钢琴博物馆。这里陈列着世界上最早的钢琴，最大的、最小的钢琴……造型各异的钢琴让我眼花缭乱……这里有演员演奏，声音非常让人陶醉，我们不由得停步伫立倾听，悦耳的钢琴声伴着阵阵波浪拍打沙滩的声音，仿佛天籁之音。

第三天我们去了土楼。那些楼全都是用土做成的，真不知道古代人是怎么想到建出这些有圆的、有方形的，高大的神奇的房子。据导游说，这里的土楼大大小小上百座，天上的卫星都能拍摄到，真是可与长城媲美的建筑。

后来我又游览了厦门的大学、海滩等。厦门的整洁、优美，让我们留恋忘返。

随着年代的增加，世间万物都有着巨大的变化。世界的科技发生着日新月异的变化，美丽的厦门岛也发生着微妙的变化，观察一下厦门的楼房就知道变化有多大。

爷爷奶奶那个年代，厦门的房子都是矮小、政府建的平房，最高的也只有两层，而且一间里面最少要住四户人家，当时一户人家至少有六个人，一户人家只有一间二十平方米大小的卧室和一间养牲口的房间。房子里的所有人洗手在同一个角落洗。两户人家用一个灶台。生活上有许多的不便。

爸爸妈妈那个年代，厦门的房子增加了，每户人家也建了属于自己的石头房子，最高的也有四五层了，而且每家每户的房子都有许多日常设施，最令人骄傲的是：在思明区有一栋海边宾馆有二十几层，那就是“海景大酒店”。

到了90后，厦门的科技提高了，建起了许多高楼大厦，人们住的不是公寓就是别墅。有着光滑亮丽的瓷砖外壳和别具一格的室内布置，而且家里面需要什么就有什么，很多东西都有备用的。

厦门房子的变化告诉我：厦门今日的辉煌是昨天的努力带来的；是日新月异、蒸蒸日上的科技帮助了人们，让人们的生活变得更加方便。

暑假，我和母亲想出去旅游一下，我们就到网上找一下有什么地方比较漂亮。最后决定去厦门的鼓浪屿玩一下。母亲报了一个旅游团。第二天早上我和母亲乘了差不多7个小时的车终于到达了鼓浪屿。

鼓浪屿就是厦门一处着名的景点。它有着“钢琴小岛”的美誉，岛上约有钢琴600多台，走在绿树浓阴的小道上，不时会听见幽雅的琴声，时而柔和缓慢，就像涓涓小溪；时而明快激昂，犹如浩瀚的大海拍击着岸边的礁石，真是让人留恋忘返。如果你到了鼓浪屿还一定要到日光岩看看，因为在那里可以通过望远镜看到台湾的大担和小担，可以让你一饱眼福。

鼓浪屿还有一处景点就是百鸟园，百鸟园里的鸟儿看起来很笨，其实它们很聪明，也很可笑。有一次，金刚鹦鹉带它的“小宝宝”逛街，结果走到一半，突然想到吃东西，自己一个飞回去，竟然把婴儿车也扔了，要知道那婴儿车里还躺着它的“小宝宝”呢！逗得我们哈哈大笑！

母亲买了门票，我们就到了海洋馆。一进门，眼前就有一个圆柱体的透明玻璃，里面游来游去的是食人鱼。食人鱼的形状是扁形的，两只眼睛分别长在两边，它的最大的特点是有几颗尖利的牙齿，看它那样子，似乎一不留神就要把你吃了。往后走，有很多种海洋生物：巨瑶、海蜇、珊瑚、海龟、海马……最好看的要数灯笼鱼了，它身上好像装着各种各样颜色的彩灯，两个圆溜溜的眼睛分别长在两侧，它身上的颜色变化多端：一会儿变成紫色，一会儿变成蓝色，一会儿变成绿色。父亲又带我去了“地下海族馆”。厚厚的玻璃做成的拱形通道。玻璃里面有许多鱼：鲨鱼、海龟、乌贼、海星……成群结对从你身边游过，我仿佛置身于海洋之中。

每天都有许许多多来自世界各地的游客来到鼓浪屿参观，如果你还没有到过厦门，不妨听听《鼓浪屿之波》这首歌，相信听完歌曲之后好你会迫不及待地想来游览一番。

厦门是美丽的海滨城市，我最喜欢厦门的海滩了。我站在海滩上，太阳光从云层里透出来照在那美丽大海上闪闪发亮。海浪不停地拍打海滩上的石头，拍打出白花花的浪花。远处有几艘小船在海面上行驶。

爸爸、妈妈带着我走在海边的栈桥上。栈桥是由木头搭建好的。它站在海边经历着海浪、海水的冲刷。它是厦门海滩上独特的风景。

我站在桥上看见远处的海滩上站满了密密麻麻的游人。有的带着游泳圈在海里游泳，随着海浪起伏；有的小朋友用工具搭起一座座“建筑物”：城堡、金字塔……

我从桥上下来，走到海边，与大海亲密接触。我想试一下海浪的冲击力。我在海边搭建了一个坚固的金字塔，这时一个海浪冲过来，淹没了我的金字塔，海浪退去，我的金字塔也随着海浪消失在海里。

太阳西下，美丽的海难消失在夜幕中。

at present some people think that money is everything. they say that you can do everything if you have money. you can live in a beautiful house, keep a luxurious ear and have all sorts of delicious food.

i dont think so. indeed, money can buy a lot of things we need. but there are many, many wonderful things in the world that cannot be bough/; with money.

for example, knowledge cannot be bought with money. one cannot be rich in knowledge unless he studies hard. time cannot be bought with money, either. who can buy even a second with money?

there are still many other things that cannot be bought with money: health,life, happiness,friendship, love and so on. just think, if a person hasnt these things at all, is the money still useful?

now, do you think money is everything?

More and more middle school students use WeChat. Different students have

different opinions about using it.

Some students think WeChat is a very useful tool. It can provide a platform

to communicate with their friends. Besides they can make more friends and learn

more knowledge by WeChat. However, some students think WeChat will affect their

study if they spend too much time using it. And they may be tricked by strange

net friends. Last but not least, it will also affect their vision to use WeChat

for a long time.

In my opinion, we should use WeChat properly by not using it more than two

hours a day, and make sure that we dont use it when we are studying. In

addition, we shouldnt add strangers or meet net friends casually.

今天是个好日子，因为我要去方特玩，那激动的心情停不了。可以说的上是激动万分。

到了目的地，我跳下车，展开了好玩的方特之旅。于是我带上地图，迈着轻盈的步伐来到了“儿童王国”。我刚进里面，就看到有许多人挤在在哪一个地方。我和大姑姑和小姐姐一起去凑热闹。到那一看，原来是惊险刺激的过山车。之后我们也加入了进去。刚排队到一半时，就听见一阵阵尖叫撕破长空，打击着我的耳膜，一遍又一遍，令我胆战心惊。

终于到我们了！可当我们做好的时候，大姐姐不见了。不管三七二十一，玩完了再说。过了一会，过山车就启动了。当我们登上一个大上坡以后，我还没准备好就来一个下坡，然后接二连三的下坡一个接一个，然后停止。如果再不停下，我就要飙泪了。我一下来就神魂颠倒。

之后我们还玩了好多游戏，最好玩的是漂流。那个下坡冲的大浪可以把冲回老家。

今天虽然很累，但我们玩得很开心。

Dear teacher:

一大早，我和爸爸妈妈一起踏上了开往厦门的动车，由于第一次乘动车，感觉里面的一切都很新奇。还散发着一股迷人的香味，显得格外舒适。

终于，我们到达了厦门。乘车来到海边。我兴奋地奔向大海。在海边嬉戏玩耍，享受着凉爽的海风。同时也领略到了厦门的蓝天、大海、沙滩、绿地的亚热带风光。晚上，我们又逛了厦门最繁华的大街——中山路。

第二天，我们去了福建最美的乡村——永定客家土楼。首先，我们参观了振成楼。它共有四层，从上往下看，就像一个鸟巢。振成楼里面有两口井，一口是阴的，一口是阳的。阴的那口清澈见底，阳的那口浑浊不清。让人百思不解。游遍了振成楼，又游了福裕楼、如升楼、奎聚楼。这些土楼历史悠久，还有许多外国朋友也慕名而来。

最后，我们来到了厦门最著名的岛屿——鼓浪屿。岛上绿树成阴，空气非常清新。走在路上，不时能看到一棵棵巨大的榕树。最大的一棵已经有三百多年的历史了。枝干上挂满了像胡须一样细细长长的枝条。这些枝条一碰到地面，又会生根发芽，它们可以一直繁殖下去，生生不息。再往前走，路边站着一排高大的椰子树，形状像一个个巨形酒瓶。另外，岛上还有一种像扇子一样的旅人焦，它的枝干能储存很多水。走在岛上，不时能看到各种各样的花草树木……

厦门，虽然你只是一个小岛，但我还是喜欢你，因为你的每一个角落都很美丽！

Dear Santa Claus,

I am writing to you only in order to fulfil the task assigned by the

school.

I know that your list of naughty children is empty, your list of good

children is empty, your life is a capital emptiness, you dont understand my

trouble.

See you later.

Im not telling you my real name.

The House of 1000 Mirrors 千镜屋 Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. 很久以前的一个很远的小村庄里，有一个以"千镜屋"而著名的地方。一个乐观的小狗听说了这个地方并决定去参观。

When he arrived, he hounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. 当来到这个地方，他蹦蹦跳欢恰快的上了台阶，来到房门口，他高高竖起耳朵，欢快地摇着尾巴，从门口口往里张望，他惊奇地看到有1000只欢乐的小狗像他一样快的摇尾巴。

He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and firendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."他灿烂地微笑着，回报他的是1000张热情，友好的灿烂笑脸。离开时他心想："这是一个精彩的地主，我一定要经常来参观。"

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him.在这个村里还有另一只想参观"千镜屋"的小狗，他不及第一只小狗乐观，他慢吞吞地爬上台阶，然后耷拉着脑袋往屋子里看。一看到有1000只小狗不友好地盯着他，他便开始冲他们狂吠，镜中的1000只小狗也冲着他狂吠，把他给吓坏了，

As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."他在离开时心想："这是一个恐怖的地方，我再也不会来了。"All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?世界上所有的脸都是镜子，在你所遇见的人的脸上你看到反射出来的是什么?

一路上，风景优美，桃红柳绿，我们欢声笑语着，在不知不觉中，我们抵达了春游的目的地——厦门科技馆。

一到厦门科技馆，我们就被这里一件件神奇的陈列物品给牢牢地吸引住了。一样样令我们惊讶不以的物品琳琅满目，它们当中有使人难以把握重心的“神奇小屋”，有使人摸不着头脑的“拼图游戏”，有令人流连忘返的“平面排球赛”，还有许许多多让人叫都叫不出名来的奇怪的、有趣的陈列物品。

其中，最令我记忆犹新的物品是一个会静电的台子。工作人员表演时，让一个小女生站在那个会静电的台子上，然后开始放电。你看：那个小女生的头发奇迹般地一根一根竖起来了！一直到停止放电，她的头发才慢慢地倒了下去。那么电在哪呢？工作人员用一根棒子碰了台子旁边的拦网， “劈劈啪啪”的一声，我心中的结马上就打开了。原来，电都全部转移到了网上，台子上没电了，那个小女生的头发就不再竖起来了。这个试验真使我受 益匪浅。

Chinese New Year or Spring Festival  the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It  sometimes called the "Lunar New Year" by Englh speakers. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; th day  called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Years Eve  known as chú xī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".

Chinese New Year  the longest and most important festivity in the Lunar Calendar. The origin of Chinese New Year  itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions. Ancient Chinese New Year  a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the most.

Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New Year  considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors, as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction. These include Koreans (Seollal), Tibetans and Bhutanese (Losar), Mongolians (Tsagaan Sar), Vietnamese (Tt), and formerly the Japanese before 1873 (Oshogatsu). Outside of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, Chinese New Year  also celebrated in countries with significant Han Chinese populations, such as Singapore, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. In countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States, although Chinese New Year  not an official holiday, many ethnic Chinese hold large celebrations and Australia Post, Canada Post, and the US Postal Service sues New Years themed stamps.

Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese new year vary widely. People will pour out their money to buy presents, decoration, material, food, and clothing. It  also the tradition that every family thoroughly cleans the house to sweep away any ill-fortune in hopes to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “happiness”, “wealth”, and “longevity”. On the Eve of Chinese New Year, supper  a feast with families. Food will include such items as pigs, ducks, chicken and sweet delicacies. The family will end the night with firecrackers. Early the next morning, children will greet their parents by whing them a healthy and happy new year, and receive money in red paper envelopes. The Chinese New Year tradition  a great way to reconcile forgetting all grudges, and sincerely wh peace and happiness for everyone.

Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously numbered years, outside China its years are often numbered from the reign of Huangdi. But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various scholars, making the year 2009 "Chinese Year" 4707, 4706, or 4646.
