10月1日，我和外婆、爸爸妈妈一起兴致勃勃地去厦门游玩。

我们到了厦门，先去集美村，那里绿树成阴，鲜花盛开。听导游介绍说，这里还有一个有名的人物，他叫陈嘉庚，他捐款造了108所学校，我觉得他太伟大了！

第二天，我们又去了鼓浪屿，那里的风景可优美了，有沙滩、有郑成功雕像、有出名的张三疯奶茶店、还有各种各样的小吃店……

第三天，我们跟着导游一起去南普陀寺，大家都想烧香拜佛，保佑外婆身体健康，我考试考好点。到了寺里面，我看到了观音菩萨，还有一些大大小小的叫“八百罗汉”。一座座雕刻得栩栩如生。我希望我们的许愿能实现。

这只是我介绍的一小部分，你们也赶快去厦门游览一番吧，一定会让你们大饱眼福的！

My best friend is --- He is 15 years old. We are both in the same class. He

works very hard. He is never late for school and he does well in all his

lessons. He is always ready to help others. My math is very poor, so he often

helps me with my math after class. His parents are both teachers. They are very

busy, so he often helps do the housework at home. He is a little shorter than me

but he is very strong. He likes playing football very much at school. We often

play football together and he plays it pretty well, He gets on well with us,

everyone in our class likes him.

放寒假的时候，爸爸妈妈带我去了厦门，游玩了很多地方，我印象最深的就是厦门科技馆了。

整个科技馆分为几个主题展区。我们首先进了“探索”展区，刚进门我就发现了好玩的，用电子枪打电子屏上奔跑的狼，我瞄准镜头，扣动扳机，狼应声倒地，太好玩了，可这是什么原理呢？接下来我登上了“地震屋”，体验了地震的感受。讲解员让大家准备好，突然屋子开始疯狂地摇晃，大家被震的摇摇摆摆。我想：大自然发起火来还真可怕！

接下来我们又进了“创造”展区，这里有各种机械设备展示着人类的智慧。我发现一个“神奇小屋”。小屋的地面是斜的，我想往坡顶上走，却非常的费劲。爸爸告诉我这是地球引力在作怪。我还玩了一个镜子迷宫，进去之前给每个人发了一根泡沫管子，是让你探测哪边没有镜子，免得撞伤。一进去，四面八方都是自己，都不知道该往哪走，弄得我晕头转向。

最后我们到了“海洋”展区，我了解了有关神秘海洋的知识。

一个下午的时间很快过去了，科技馆就要下班了，我还没有玩够，只能依依不舍地离开了。我想：科学就是力量，知识改变命运。今后一定要好好学习科学知识。

落叶纷飞，秋风萧瑟。大家眼中的秋天都是这样的，可是厦门，你找不到这样的秋天，它还是很炎热。厦门的秋仿佛是一个淘气的孩子，披着夏的外衣，不愿换装。

厦门的秋，太阳是淘气的，它还是狠狠地发光发热，好象怕别人看不到似的，那威力大得撑破了云，直射的光仿佛是要把地面融化。 而太阳却调皮地给在户外的孩子们的脸上涂抹上红彤彤的云彩。

厦门的秋,叶儿是淘气的，他们不愿换衣服，就爱这套绿色。他们没有乖巧的往下落。在厦门 ，你很难看到秋天里金黄的落叶纷飞的样子，这儿的树叶依然很绿，绿的发光，发亮，他们不惧炎热，还是努力地伸向空中。

厦门的秋,花儿儿是淘气的，火红的凤凰花和三角梅恣意在枝头，让人以为春天来了，开得那么火红，那么夺目。

厦门的秋,风儿也是淘气的，你听，他吹着口哨呼啸而来，吹乱了姑娘的发和群，吹得孩子们睁不开眼。在大楼里，你能经常听到妖风阵阵，穿行在楼外，过道…….

厦门的秋虽然那么短暂，却没有秋天寂寥的萧瑟，蕴含着无数生机。

嗨，朋友们，你去过厦门吗？厦门可好玩了。如果你没有去过那也没关系，我现在就带你们去。

厦门，位于福建省东南部，靠近大海。有时候，烟雾迷漫，使人感到这里仿佛就是仙境。

厦门也有鸟世界，而且不比别地方差，你一进厦门市就能听到鸟欢叫声，还有开了屏孔雀和鹦鹉在门口迎接你，让你感受到鸟友情，里面还有专门给鸟表演杂技厅。你看，这只鸽子在钢丝上骑自行车，多厉害呀，还有那只八哥在捡垃圾，多么讲卫生呀……

怎么样，厦门鸟世界好玩吗？你们别急，还有更好玩在后头，我们先来参观一下胡里山炮台吧，我来带你参观中国最大炮和最小炮，第一眼看到就是中国最小炮？全长只有80厘米，但它威力却不小，有效射程在2千米左右，再往里走便是中国最大炮？全长15米巨炮，射程可达10千米！

看完了炮台你是不是想轻松一下？没问题，走，我们到海滨浴场去，那里沙滩可软了，光着脚踩上去很舒服，还可以拾贝壳，游泳，泡水，好玩极了，下去玩一下水吧。

最后，我们到鼓浪屿参观一下，鼓浪屿有两大特点，首先，它是“音乐之乡”，在鼓浪屿出了很多音乐家，现在几乎岛上家家户户都有钢琴，而且到处都可以听到钢琴悦耳声音。其次，它离台湾岛最近，站在日光岩顶上极目远眺就可以看到台湾金门岛，台湾自古以来就是中国神圣领土不可分割一部分。

我深信，不久将来，台湾一定会重新回到祖国怀抱，到那时，我要到宝岛上去参观。

一生有爱何惧风飞沙。

那天在机场的大厅里，一群人聚在了一起，说是缘，不如说是一次长长的邂逅。互相打量着，空气中依旧存在陌生人间的芥蒂。虽然立刻便有说有笑，但是从未想过六天之后会依依不舍。

飞机上的玩笑与打闹，一张张憧憬的脸聚在飞机的舷窗旁，笑声充斥在机舱里，传到那座繁华的城。喜欢上了这群没有拘束的同伴。跟着带队学姐，踏进这座神秘的象牙塔，一种预感一闪而过，这将是一次不一样的旅途。

厦门大学的建筑有一种复古的风格，尖尖的屋顶下是红棕色的墙，几栋大楼围绕着芙蓉湖，湖边参天的树下是那条充满诗意的林荫道。我们惊讶于厦大的古朴典雅，更是兴奋于五天后的闭营晚会。还没有开始便期待结尾，这也算是一件笑话吧。也许是因为喜爱浮夸的服饰和闪亮的灯光，我从小便对舞台有异常的喜爱，一直希望穿上水晶鞋在12点钟声前舞蹈，从童话中走出。这次，倒是个特别的机会。

于是死皮赖脸地推荐自己喜欢的歌。也是一种缘分吧，张杰的《天下》我只听过两遍，但是深深的喜欢这首歌的气场。偏执有时候是一种错误，但我确定，这次不是。在我的不要脸下，其他组员妥协了。又是一系列的自以为是的强势，我又阴差阳错地被默认成了导演。可笑的是，连我自己都丢失了自知之明，在群里安排任务，也不知道这对于其他人来说是不是一个笑话，但强烈地想让我们组的节目惊艳全场，也不知道这是自私还是无私。组员能力都很强，共同出了一个又一个的点子。在这么些高智商的人中占有一席之地，也算是一种小幸运吧。

开始紧张的排列，女生们晚上一起聚在宿舍分词，学姐来查房的时候被欢乐的氛围感染了，也是笑嘻嘻的。星空下那个开着暖黄灯光的房间，那柔美的歌声，不知道是否会永远定格在记忆里。

因为在这个刚好的时间，我刚好遇见你们，所以有了这段刚好的回忆，造就了刚好的我们。

自习楼大厅没有开空调，大汗淋漓，这里是我们永远的舞台。旋律飘荡，我们都投入了自己的真情。观众不多，就是那堵墙和墙下的带队老师不厌其烦地在鼓掌，幼稚地似个孩子。走位的设计是我临时的安排，人生充满了冗杂的琐事，临时便成了最好的创意。我喊着你们的名字，不听话的男生们啊，你可知道我却永远记住了我吼声下你们的调皮。饿着肚子，非要排好这一遍才吃饭，跟着你们，我似乎找回了以前丢失的执着。

那天晚上临时决定中间插入一段海草舞，女生紧张而卖力地学习着。抬脚，扭腰，甩手，左左右右，跟着节奏忘我地舞动着。长发因为汗水而黏在脸上，脸颊上的潮红泛着朝气，酸痛和劳累被执着忘记，我们坚持着，投入着，表情是前所未有的坚定和幸福。甚至后来深夜还在洗面器前的镜子前温习，甚至后来演出前还在后台的厕所里练习。也许将来会忘记所有的动作，但是忘不了满身的汗水，忘不了互相的团结。那天晚上男生虽然设计完陪衬动作后无聊地打着牌，却也一直不忘记关心和鼓励我们，可能就是骨子里的团结和上进精神造就了我们。

所以，对于你们，我甘之若饴。

你们开玩笑，永远都不想再听到《天下》和海草舞伴奏了，怪我拉你们下水，我知道，因为你们一遍又遍不厌其烦地重复练习，因为你们认真了，因为你们认真的样子很美。

送你一首歌，关于我们的歌，字句真诚而坚固，愿能在每个子夜一起歌唱。

最后一遍排练，我拿到的话筒声音很小，大家都叮嘱我把话筒靠在嘴边，像一群循循善诱的长者，不厌其烦。我乖乖地点头，却已是抑制不住的紧张。舞台效果很好，灯光随着音乐舞动，变换着颜色和节奏，一缕缕光从身后打来，照在我们身上，展现出一张张天真的脸。我陶醉在音乐中，享受与你们一起努力过后的这瞬间。歌声伴随强大的气场充斥整个舞台，台下是挥舞的荧光棒和热烈的掌声，最后的那一声声的“好”让所有的劳累无悔。无论我们的节目是不是最好的，无论台下的观众能否记住我们，对我们自己来说，我们都是芙蓉湖中最美的黑天鹅。

所幸红颜已知己，惜知音再难觅。是非进退难断，不断亦难。愿生有去处，苍有归途。

第二天就是离别的时刻了，还没有矫情到潸然泪下，但是不免的伤感。最后的火车上，互相爆料着偷拍的丑照，笑得似乎忘记了悲伤。离别依然，回到家倒在床上，迷迷糊糊昏睡过去，梦里却又是被灯光照耀的你们和那首不变的旋律。我想，你们会和我一样，未来的某天，塞上耳机，打开那首《天下》，哼出那首练过上千遍的歌。不是不会发够，只是不想忘记。毕竟，都已成了互相的知音。

我眼中的厦大，是一所充满团结上进精神的厦大，是无悔的厦大，是不惧离殇的厦大。

挥剑断天涯，相思轻放下，梦中我痴痴牵挂。

Dream is a beautiful word. I like it very much. I think everyone has a eternal dream.Because dream is important for us.

My dream is to be a teacher. Because teacher can teach students. And teach themknowledge. When I see their smile, I will be happy. Our teacher are kind to us. So Iwill be kind to my students. Our teacher often and we make fun of. We loved to playjokes on our teacher, too .I think teacher is a good job. Because it’s very interesting.If I want to be a teacher when I grow up, I must study hard. I often read Englishbooks. And in all the subject, I like English the best. So I am becoming an Englishteacher.

This is my dream. Although it’s very small and impossible, I believe as long as Iwork hard at it, I will be realized. Then what is your dream?

译文：

梦想是一个美丽的词藻。我非常喜欢它，我认为每个人都应该有一个永恒的梦想，因为梦想对我们很重要。

我的梦想是当一名老师。因为老师可以教学生们知识。当我看到他们的笑脸，我一定会很开心。我们的老师对我们很友善，所以我自然也会善待我的学生。我们的老师经常和我们开玩笑，我们也很喜欢和他们开玩笑。我想，教师是一份不错的工作，因为它的确很有趣。如果我长大想成为一名老师，我必须努力学习。我经常读英文类图书，在所有科目里，我最喜欢英语。所以我想当一名英语老师。

这就是我的梦想，虽然很微不足道，也不太可能实现，但是我相信只要努力就一定会实现的，这就是我的梦想。

[我的理想_英文作文1000字

ast Saturday,with all my classmates and teachers,I went on a trip to the nature park .We departed from school at about half past seven and spent about 40 minutes travelling to our destination.When we first entered into the park,all of us were shocked by the natural beauty and the hamonized ecosystem of the park.Then,happily we were playing games on the sand; swimming in the pool and taking with our friends on the grassplot.After lunch break,our programs were continued with an contest of story narating held and each of us was immerging within the funny stories We left the part at about 5 oclock,and unitl now,most of us are still haunted by the beautiful memory of that trip.

I found most people planned to give their mothers the surprise, until then did I realize that I should do something to my mom, she took care of us all the time, now she deserved to have a rest. So my father and I planned something for her.

去年暑假，我、爸爸、妈妈一起去了美丽的厦门。那里的美景、美食都让我记忆犹新！

厦门的风景真是别具一格。湛蓝的天空、碧蓝的海水、复古的小楼……当然，最美的非鼓浪屿莫属！

鼓浪屿与厦门岛隔海相望。这座小岛上有很多童话般的古建筑，还有茂盛的植物和宽阔的沙滩。海上飞来几只海鸟，轻轻地鸣叫着，好像在说：“鼓浪屿欢迎您的到来！”傍晚，太阳浮在天边，和深蓝的大海连成一片，洒下一海灿烂的红霞。真是水天一色，如诗如画，美丽极了！

披着美丽的晚霞，我们乘船回到了厦门岛；厦门的风景不同别处，连美食也是独具特色。我们来到了著名的曾厝垵海鲜美食城。这里的海鲜真是琳琅满目：有扇贝、螃蟹、龙虾、还有许多说不出名字的鱼，多得令人目不暇接。大厨们的动作真快，不多久，贝壳、虾、海鲜面就统统上桌了，整整一桌子美食，吃得我走路都有点走不动了。

啊！美丽的厦门！你真让我流连忘返，久久不能忘怀！

去年初夏，与厦门的初次相遇就在巍峨的南普陀寺，当时和同学一起攀登险峻的山峰至今还历历在目，南普陀寺依山而建，建筑雄伟惊奇，一座座庙宇和建筑林立在巨大的广场上，气势磅礴又让人心生敬畏。

很难想象一座海滨小城竟会有如此庞大的寺庙群，站在广场上，无数白色的鸽子从天空俯冲而下，啄食着游客撒下的食物，绿油油的浮萍在巨大的水池中亭亭玉立，红色，金色，黑色各色的鱼儿欢快的在水藻间游动。

此前，厦门在我的印象中始终是蓝天白云，海滩，金色沙滩的印象，却没想到竟然还有如此美丽而不为人知的另一面。

攀登上了最高峰，站在山巅俯视着整座城市，大片葱郁的森林和厦门大学红白色的建筑铺展开来就像一幅美丽的油画，却又真实生动的展现在人面前。

远处碧波荡漾，阳光照耀在海平面上泛出淡淡金色耀眼的光芒，在这一瞬间，水天相接，浑然觉得登山两个小时的辛苦和汗水又不算什么了，能够看见眼前令人震撼的美景，又有什么是不值得的呢？

厦门的美丽不止在于海景的大气磅礴，更在于无数年来积累的人文风景和历史风貌，厦门，我爱你！

说实话，这次去厦门旅游，最让我记忆深刻，是住那家五星级酒店：海悦山庄。

在动车上度过了无聊乏味10个小时后，我和爸爸妈妈一起来到了美丽“海上花园”：厦门。海中有岛，岛中有海。厦门就是这么一个被海水环绕美丽城市，我们酒店就紧紧挨着大海，这就是我喜欢这个酒店第一个原因：环境美好，紧紧靠海。

我一进这个酒店，就被那豪华设施所牢牢吸引，充足冷气让人心旷神怡，再加上一些淡淡花香，让人无可挑剔！不错！设施豪华，冷气充足，这就是我喜欢它第二个原因。

当然，前面是我自己感受，但只要住进这个酒店人，都会感受到一个铁定事实，这里服务态度极其热情。每次我们出门，都会有一个服务员笑脸相迎，说：“早上好！”或：“晚上好！”他们不允许走廊里有一个灯是坏，假如有，会立刻赶过来，认真修好。这次去厦门旅游日子恰好经过爸爸生日，生日那天，等我们玩完回来时，没想到酒店服务员已经悄悄把房间布置了一下，用玫瑰花瓣在床上摆出了“生日快乐”这几个字，还用一条毛巾翻成了一头大象，另外还送了一个生日蛋糕+蜡烛！两张床上以及沙发都摆上了气球！态度热情，服务周到，这是第三个理由。

每当我吃晚饭时，都会看到一些不一样厦门特色小吃，不像别饭店，永远老一套，这里没有特别奢侈菜，但每样我们去品尝时，都烧得不错。特色小吃，应有尽有。这是第四个理由。

这就是我第一天吃住在厦门情景，真，我对这个酒店和餐饮很满意，这让我对厦门留下了极好印象！

关于元宵节的英文介绍

the lantern festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in february or march in the gregorian calendar. as early as the western han dynasty (206 bc-ad 25), it had become a festival with great significance. this days important activity is watching lanterns. throughout the han dynasty (206 bc-ad 220), buddhism flourished in china. one emperor heard that buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of buddhas body, and light lanterns to worship buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to buddha on this day. later, the buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the central plains to the whole of china.每年农历的正月十五日，春节刚过，迎来的就是中国的传统节日--元宵节。元宵主要的活动就是看灯。东汉明帝时期，明帝提倡佛教，听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利，点灯敬佛的做法，就命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛，令士族庶民都挂灯。以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。该节经历了由宫廷到民间，由中原到全国的发展过程。

till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the festival.

lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. if visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. if they are right, they will get a little gift. the activity emerged

during peoples enjoyment of lanterns in the song dynasty (960-1279).

as riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.

直到今天，元宵点灯的习俗仍然在中国的各地流传的，各式各样美丽的花灯在这一天都会点亮，孩子们提着自制的灯笼走街串巷，非常高兴。猜灯谜也是元宵节的一项重要活动，花灯的主人会将谜面写在灯笼上，挂在门口，如果有人可以猜中，就能得到小小的礼物。这项活动最早起源于宋朝，因为谜语能启迪智慧又饶有兴趣，所以流传过程中深受社会各阶层的欢迎。

people will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also called the "yuanxiao festival."yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. it is small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean paste, jujube paste, walnut meat,

dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling. tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. it tastes sweet and delicious. what’s more, tangyuan in chinese has a similar pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning reunion. so people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family.

民间过元宵节吃元宵的习俗。元宵由糯米制成，或实心，或带馅。馅有豆沙、白糖、山楂、各类果料等，食用时煮、煎、蒸、炸皆可。起初，人们把这种食物叫“浮圆子”，后来又叫“汤团”或“汤圆”，这些名称“团圆”字音相近，取团圆之意，象征全家人团团圆圆，和睦幸福，人们也以此怀念离别的亲人,寄托了对未来生活的美好愿望。

in the daytime of the festival, performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance,

walking on stilts and beating drums while dancing will be staged. on the night, except for magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a

beautiful scene. most families spare some fireworks from the spring festival and let them off in the lantern festival. some local

Today after dinner, the adults were tired, and I volunteered to say, "Mom, Ill do the housework today." Mom is very happy.

I was tired of doing these housework, I was sweating, but I was happy, mom said I grew up.

朋友们，我今天很开心，你们知道为什么吗？因为妈妈单位的工会组团到厦门旅游了。我和家人：妈妈、奶奶、郑嘉宇一起去。偷偷告诉你们我妈是团长哦！

一下动车，我们就感受到了厦门的火辣辣的热情，昭阳似火、人山人海。今天下午的旅程是观音山梦幻水世界！

梦幻水世界素有厦门版“迪士尼”之称。据了解梦幻水世界是目前福建省内规模最大型的多功能水上主题游乐园。现在我们的梦幻之旅开始了！水世界的玩处可多了！如：冲天回旋、太空碗、超级大喇叭、漩涡冲刺、粉滑梯……其中最好玩的是漩涡冲刺。漩涡冲刺有一个词可以形容：惊险！我和洋洋姐姐排着长队，等呀等呀，等的花都谢了，终于轮到我们了。我们走了半空高的楼梯好不容易到了顶，工作人员却说我太矮了不到1。4米不能玩。你瞧我怎们说的：“哥哥就 ……让我玩一次吗？”哥哥就放我下去了。我和洋洋姐姐拉紧扶手就直冲而下。一下去我心里就一阵恐慌。很快我们就到了漩涡的中盘了，水流很快，我们在上边大约转了四圈就感觉被人推了一下，我们就又直冲而下到了水池里。太刺激了！太好玩了！

当然好玩的地方还有很多，等着你们去体验呢！

Dear Tom，

How is it going these days? I keep wondering how you feel about your school

life in Beijing. Have you got used to the life in China? Are you enjoying your

life? I hope you are.

Let me tell you a piece of good news: I’m going to take part in an English

speech contest of middle school students in July in the coming summer vacation.

So I’m busy preparing for it. But now I have some difficulty in collecting

useful information and using proper English word to express my thoughts.

Besides, I really want to improve my spoken English, especially the

pronunciation and intonation(语调). Of course, as a native English speaker, you

can give me some suggestions.

In addition, I’m going to visit you after the contest. I’m sure we will

have a wonderful time together in Beijing! I can hardly wait to see you! I am

looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua
