参观博物馆的优秀英语作文【精选20篇】

Yesterday was Teachers Day. It was a great day for all the teachers and also a happy time for us students. In the morning.we went to school early and put a bunch of flowers on our class masters desk to give him a big surprise. Some of us stood at the school gate to say hello to every teacher when they entered the school. In the afternoon, we held a party. We sang and danced with the teachers. They said the best reward for the teachers was to see that we were making progress.

Science and technology have been bringing human beings tremendous benefits.

Thanks to science and technology, we now live comfortably and conveniently in

houses furnished with air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines and

televisions etc. Thanks to science and technology, we can eat fresh vegetables

at the year round. Thanks to science and technology, we can travel long

distances in the fraction of a second on planes, trains and cars. Thanks to

science and technology, we wear clothes with synthetic materials which can not

easily be worn out.

However, science and technology have atso brought us a lot of disasters.

First, because of the many breakthroughs in the field of medicine, people are

now living much longer than they used to. As a result, the population of the

world is increasing, causing lots of problems. Second, because of the

development of industry, lots of the wastes from factories pour into the air and

rivers, causing pollution of all kinds. Third, some terrorists are using science

and technology against mankind. They use biological, chemical and unclear

weapons to threaten world peace...

So its urgent that we find ways to solve these problems. But we should not

stop the development of science and technology because of these disasters they

bring, just as we should not give up eating for fear of choking. In addition, we

should make some rules to regulate our actions. As long as we use science and

technology in a proper way, they may bring us even more benefits.

近代文明在很大程度上是英国人奉献给整个世界的，英国人开启了机器时代。虽然中国工业化起步时就已落后了一百年，但是经历坎坷、挫折后，努力爬起来，奋不顾身地向前冲。中国工业化突飞猛进，沈阳——中国工业博物馆见证了历史。

步入大门，一股带有浓厚历史年代感的青铜浮雕格外显眼。它长22米，高11。5米，重达50吨，是目前我国最大的工业题材青铜雕塑，内容取材于1949年10月31日新中国的第一炉钢水出炉的场景。雕塑上的工人有的双手叉腰，身体站得笔直，脸上露出笑意，好像为成功制造出第一炉钢水而自豪；有的身体向前倾斜，伸出手指向前方，好像让对方看第一炉钢水；，还有的踮起脚尖，头向前伸，争先恐后、全神贯注地看第一炉钢水出炉……雕塑的左上方有钢水从桶里缓缓流出。后面的背景是火车在运输、工人在工作时的情景，表达第一炉钢水来之不易。

向左走是机床馆，机床馆根据年代不同，展示了从古至今，由简单到复杂的机床。1501年左右，意大利艺术大师——达·芬奇设计的锯床于1797年诞生。1951年由上海制造的一种车床，后来由赵伟炎、赵伟东兄弟捐赠至中国工业博物馆。随着科技的发展，现在使用数字控制机床——简称数控机床，在现场我看到数控机床制造出来的缩小版北京鸟巢，我用手机拍照下来。

走出机床馆后，向右走就来到了——铸造馆。这个展厅是原来沈阳铸造厂的大型生产车间，始建于1939年。新中国成立以后，最高年产量达到了38500吨，生产铸件上万种，是亚洲最大的铸造企业。面有10个砂池、碎砂机、混砂机等。

走出铸造馆，向左走是通史馆。脚下有“走向工业化”五个字，概括了通史馆的特点。第一单元百年徘徊，赫赫有名的汉阳造步枪和马牌水泥引人注目。汉阳造步枪是中国海洋集团，仿照德国的造步枪制造的。北京市图书馆等当时知名建筑都是使用马牌水泥建造。第二单元——励志前行，让人印象深刻的是金属国徽复印件。它由十八罗汉之首——沈阳第一机床厂制造，于1951年5月1日将原件挂在天安门上。

第三单元——科学探索，让我明白了1986年3月是中国的“863”计划，此计划中含有七个计划——生物、航天、信息、激光、能源、新材料和自动化。更让我知道在以前自行车比现在的宝马值钱，中国曾被称为“自行车王国”。第四单元——崛起东方，中国工业将以信息化带动工业化，工业化促进信息化，走出一条科技含金量高的新型工业化道路。内有未来小镇设计图，图中提现出自然消耗低，环境污染少。

走出通史馆，左边是铁西馆。“铁西百年记忆”六个大字最吸引你的眼球，里面展示百年来铁西的工业发展史。铁西馆内展示有车床、磨床、冲床、钻床等。在铁西馆对面是——汽车馆，介绍了世界汽车发展史，德国的卡尔·本茨在1885年发明了奔驰一号汽车，是奔驰汽车创始人，人称汽车之父。我国的1958-1960年是大跃进时期，在这期间1958年，我国第一辆东风牌轿车诞生。

通过本次参观，让我看到中国的飞速发展离不开工业。中国的工业进步一直在路上，未来的中国工业化会拥有更美好的明天。它在为我们创造幸福的生活！

Do your teachers still use traditional techniques to teach you nowadays? A

revol- ution in teaching techniques is required now. In the past, we just took

it for granted that a teacher s aim was to teach the students all that he knew

and solve all the problems for them. Therefore, students could mot judge things

on their own under this circumstance. Thus students gradually lost the ability

to learn by themselves. In addition, they were only equipped with the knowledge

that were taught in class and made the same judgement upon every problem which

might crop up. Of course, they would find their knowledge not enough to solve

practical problems.

So it is time to change the teaching method. A teacher s goal is to help

the students develop not only the ability to learn by themselves but the skills

to make judgements on every aspect on their own. It s not necessary for the

students to turn to teachers for help while meeting with difficulties. The first

thing is to develop the students abilities to make sound judgements upon any

problem and overcome difficulties.

All in all, the aim of teaching is to liberate, but mot to fetter the

students innate powers of making sound judgements.

The Huang Mountain is a place of interest. here are lots of tourists seeing sights every day. Years ago, some of them paid no attention to environment protection. They threw about waste paper, plastic bags and tins. Besides, they killed animals, caught birds, destroyed trees and flowers. Worse still,

they often made a fire to cook in the forest. That was dangerous. Changes have taken place now. When tourists leave, they take away rubbish with them. They no longer hunt animals. Plants are also protected. All the tourists carry their lunch in order not to start forest fire. We must sing high praise of the good deeds.

Each people all have own dream, also have a dream in my heart, it deeply

buried a pregnant with my ideal seeds, in my heart to take root, sprout.

Each people all have own dream, some people want to be a writer, someone

wants to be a pilot, someone wants to be an astronaut, I want to be a human

engineer teachers. Someone may ask me: "when the teacher have a good, low wages,

work hard again, still not taken seriously by people", "the home has five grain,

improper king" but has it ever occurred to you, if there is no teacher to teach

knowledge, then we wouldnt it be a fool, because with the teacher teach us

knowledge, we human beings can become more and more intelligent, more and more

developed, it is because the teacher has given us a seam, we can swim in the sea

of knowledge. During the day, the teacher standing on three feet platform for us

to the lecture; Night, the moon has climbed up the tree, but the teacher in the

flickering light of hard exercise books for us on the road the bright red

tick... Maybe when one is surrounded by the joy of success, he would forget

their loved ones, but he will never forget my teacher, because he has a

teachers success is a credit.

I also is same, no matter how I look, how far, I will not forget my

respected teacher, because I am in the teachers care, love grow up under the

influence of bath, wherever I go to the end of the world will not forget their

own teacher, so I aspire to the teacher the profession. Now I was a pupil, I

must be hard, study hard, study hard, grow up to go in the dream three feet

platform.

今天，老师带着我们来到恐龙化石博物馆。恐龙耶!化石哦!多么神奇的东西啊!幸亏我是商报小记者，才有这样一个参观的好机会。虽然只是见一见这种侏罗纪时代的庞然大物，虽然只是见到它们的化石，我在外面排队的时候，心里就像藏了一只活蹦乱跳的小兔子，蹦啊蹦的，似乎就要蹦出我的心口了。

我们走进博物馆，首先展现在我眼前的是鱼龙的化石，这种2亿多年前的生物，长16米哩。看到它那么大，我眼前似乎浮现出它们在《侏罗纪公园》里称霸一方的形象，我不由得拍拍胸口，心想：幸亏我没有生活在那个年代，要不，我的个子这么小，可能还不够它塞牙缝的呢!

然后我看见了海百合的化石，海百合的样子好像植物，其实是动物，那海百合长在水底，嘴一张一合，专等微生物来了，它张口就吃，时间长了，眼睛就退化了，真是个懒家伙，我可不喜欢它!我还看见了齿头、周氏墨鱼龙、海龙……的化石，这些化石形状各异，而且越古老的化石样子就越简单。这些化石都是很珍贵的哟!

博物馆里的化石又多又奇妙。今天能见到化石真高兴啊!

Many years ago, when the online business first became popular among the

public. The manufacturers tried to make some slogans so as to catch more

customers. Then the day of November 11th was named the single day, and they gave

great discount. Today, it has become a shopping day.

There is no doubt that e-commerce is the future. With more young people

rely on the Internet, they get used to purchase online. Looked at the past five

years, November 11th gala has been famous around the world for the great profit

gained on that day. According to the report, the total income of e-commerce on

this gala surpasses the rest days of the year! What a surprise data.

The businessmen sense the great market potential and they advocate people

to make purchase on that single day, because there is great discount. If they

miss it, they will be regretful. With the successful marketing strategy, all the

people are so crazy about this gala. No one can resist the temptation, because

there is always something they want.

今天我与少通社的其他十九位小记者一起参观了莆田市博物馆。在众多展厅中我最喜欢的是“开普来学”以及“闽中抗日战争”。

“开普来学”中的每一个字都令我们莆田人骄傲无比。从唐至清，莆田出了二千四百八十二名进士，仅状元就有十一名武状元便有二名，而最小中进士的只有十四岁，最大的有六七十岁，因此莆田有“一科两状元”、“魁亚占双标”、“一家九刺史”、“一门五学士”和“兄弟两宰相”等科甲佳话也不足为奇，更令我自豪的是咱们莆田的尽是名人清官：名臣蔡襄、彭韶、彭鹏、林润……著名史学家郑樵、柯维棋、黄仲绍，理学家林光朝，以及民族英雄陈文龙等。作为正宗的莆田人，我为祖先的智慧而骄傲，为祖先的清廉而敬仰，为祖先的勤奋苦读而钦佩。

“闽中抗日战争”这一部分令我十分的难忘。抗日战争可以说是中国最大的国家自卫战，全国各地都受到了日军残酷无比的攻击。作为抗海的莆田只能放下使用了千年的笔杆子，与中央红军一起扛起枪杆子，进行了艰苦卓绝的三年游击战争，开创了闽中游击根据地，为最终赢得抗日战争打下了坚实的基础。闽中的抗日勇士们在海上坚持毛主席打游击战：“敌进我退，敌疲我打，敌驻我扰”的原则，坚持抗日斗争，最终于1949年8月21日，莆田解放；8月25日，仙游解放。我赞美莆田的抗日勇士。赞美他们的宁死不屈，赞美他们的吃苦耐劳，赞美他们以身殉国的高尚情操！

参观完莆田市博物馆，我参观完莆田市博物馆，感到自豪无比。“文献名邦，海滨邹鲁”，莆田，毫不愧于这个称号。我一定要传承华夏人民“学而优则仕”的家国情怀，以修身、齐家、治国、平天下为己任，奋发读书，学成后报效祖国，为国奉献，从而重振我兴华！

Halloween is on the last day of October, it is very popular in the western country. On that day, people will dress in the horrible style, especially for the kids, they will knock from door to door. If people dont give them the candy, the children will play tricks on them. But in China, more and more young people like to follow this trend, they will play the roles and find some fun. As for me, Id like to join some activities on the Halloween. My friends always have some funny costumes, so I will borrow one from them. Then we dress together, when night comes, we will come to join the party. We sing and dance. It is such a fun night. Before the midnight, we will get together and take some drinks. We talk about the happy hour. I like these activities.

万圣节在10月的最后一天,它在西方国家很受欢迎。在那一天,人们会穿着恐怖风格的服装,尤其是孩子们,他们会挨家挨户敲门。如果人们不给他们糖果,孩子们就会捉弄他们。但在中国,越来越多的年轻人喜欢追随这个潮流,他们会扮演角色，找到乐趣。至于我,我喜欢在万圣节参加一些活动。我的朋友总是有一些有趣的服装,所以我会借一件。然后我们一起打扮,夜幕降临时,我们将会来参加聚会。我们唱歌跳舞。这是一个有趣的夜晚。在午夜之前,我们会聚在一起,喝饮料。我们谈论快乐的时光。我喜欢这些活动。

The usage of Internet becomes one of the most controversial topics in the

society. As a college student, I believe Internet is beneficial to me more than

the way it harms me. There are many advantages for using Internet.

First, I can best use my time to find information online instead of going

to different libraries. Also, the information can be dated back in decades ago.

It is very helpful to use those information as reference and historical proof.

In the library, it is hard to find so much "old" information. Another advantage

to use Internet is that I can stay home and have a lecture online. It is much

more convenience to me because I can stay warm to have class in the winter time

instead of spending two hours on the bus and physically attend class. In

addition, Internet provides me a better way to communicate with my friends and

professors. I can get response from my professor in a few minutes instead of

waiting outside of his door for hours. Some of my friends are living in a

foreign countries, I can simply just drop him an email whenever I can and get a

message from him very quick. It is much better than waiting for letters. Also,

the email will not lose while the letter might be losing in the process of

delivery.

However, there are also disadvantage of using Internet. For example, I

might spend too much time on the Internet to concentrate on my study. Also,

there is a chance that I am cheated because of the Internet purchasing. Last,

Internet has lots of information, both helpful and harmful. There might be too

much tempatation that I will access some of the harmful information I can on the

Internet.

Even though the usage of Internet has both positive and negative effect to

me, I still consider Internet is a symbol of technology development. I believe I

can use the Internet very well as long as I know how to control myself.

上周接到乐学小记者团活动的通知，因为是第一次独立参加活动，妈妈问我要不要参加，我说当然要参加了，我是一名小记者嘛。

星期六的下午，我来到了集合地点，看到了同班的芮林楠也在，我们等了不久，大巴车就到了。一位杨老师负责带领我们，他亲切的做了自己介绍，叫做“小肥羊老师”，我们大家都很喜欢他。

大巴车很快就到了目的地，叫做民俗博物馆，也叫甘家大院。我们在老师的带领下，排好队伍参观，先欣赏了戏剧表演，演员们穿着古代的衣服在唱戏;还看了剪纸表演，一位80多岁的老爷爷一手拿纸，一手拿着剪刀，两只手不停地动着，不一会儿就剪出好多动物的形状，大家看了都羡慕不已!

接下来，我们跟着导游一直走，有一幢小楼特别漂亮，据说楼上是新郎和新娘住的。一路上还看到了好多房间，导游说一共有九十九间半呢!地方真大，每个房间都不一样，像个大迷宫!

参观活动很快结束了，虽然时间不长，但是却看到了好多有趣的东西，学到了很多知识，这次的活动很有意义!

Nowadays, house husband has become a hot phenomenon in modern society. As

we all know that no matter what country, it’s a tradition that men play a core

role in family who always take the burden to earn money to support their family.

But things are kind of different as society develops, more and more men are

beginning to take over housework while women go out from house. In my point of

view, I think this is not a big deal.

In the first place, house husband may be a shame title for men, but when it

comes to money, there is no room for reputation. As society develops, the life

standard are rising, and everything for living is much expensive than before, if

couples want to guarantee their life quality, then they should let the one who

earn better to work, although the one is female.

In the second place, it’s fine for women to support family as long as they

earn better than men. In the past, women always were treated very badly, and

they got no rights to be educated, to work. In some countries, they can’t even

show their face to others. A traditional female role is to stay at home, taking

care of children and do all of the housework. But now, lots of women have a good

job, so that they totally have the ability to be the economic backbone.

Therefore, in order to take good care of family, men are likely to stay at home

to do housework. I don’t think it’s a shame for men, because no matter what you

do, as long as you do it well, you are successful.

To sum up, people should change their opinion about core role of a family.

It’s acceptable for women to support the family, and there is no shame for men

to do the housework. As long as you remember life quality comes first.

Nowadays, more and more people prefer to travel quite often. Bytraveling,

we not only can relax ourselves but also broaden our knowledge circles. From my

aspect, I think we can make many friends and travel with them.

Firstly, we can enjoy the beautiful scenery and relax ourselves. For modern

life, we are busy with our work with high pressure. However, when we travel, we

will be attracted by great landscape and forget pressure from both work and

life.

Secondly, we can make friends by traveling. For most travelers, they tend

to find many companions to travel with. If you check the internet, you will find

that some people will call others to join them for travel. Through this kind of

travel, we can meet many different people and make friends with them to broaden

our social circle.

Thirdly, we can learn much knowledge form travel. Before you go to

somewhere to travel, generally, you need to make plans for your travel. You can

find lots of things you don’t know when you make a plan, such as, the origin of

a certain area, the customs of different areas, local food and so on.

In conclusion, we can not only relax ourselves and make new friends but at

the same time we can learn much from travel.

During these two years, we have seen many movies about the youth, the

directors try to remind people of their passed early days. Indeed, when people

see the movie, they feel the situation is so familiar that they could not help

thinking about their days in the school. As for me, when I see the movie, I will

think about my high school days, it was so unforgettable for me, my friends and

I studied so hard together, our strong friendship was built at that time, the

stupid things we did always makes me laugh. Everyone will have an unforgettable

memory in their early life, the memory fulfills their life.

今天，我跟爸爸、妈妈去了恐龙博物馆。博物馆门前有个大广场，广场里有个美丽的喷水池，里面有各式各样的喷泉，这些喷泉有各种各样的，有的像小鸟在天空中高飞，有的喷出一层层美丽的雾。你在太阳光下，就会看见七色的彩虹，可漂亮了。还有的两边同时把水喷到中间，这好象是一座水上桥，有两个小人在水面上蹦蹦跳跳的，还好象在说：大家好，大家好！

我们走到门口，看见门口有两只大恐龙，我看着好象梁龙，又象雷龙，还象冠龙，我着急的跑过去问爸爸，爸爸告诉我是冠龙。你看它张牙舞爪的，真吓人，可把我吓坏了，我还以为是真龙呢！一看才知道，原来是用气充起来的呀！门上面写着五个大字：恐龙博物馆。

爸爸买了票，我们走进去一看，映入眼帘的就是一个巨大的恐龙模型。用大栅栏围着，旁边还有鲜花呢！在大恐龙旁边还有卖玩具的，大都是些恐龙拼图。我跟爸爸走到展览橱，我知道恐龙分两大类，一类是鸟龙类，一类是蜥龙类。还有几个名字特别奇怪的龙，比如：毛鬼龙、色拉翼龙、克柔龙、森林龙、副龙等等

上了二楼，是一些伟人照片和一些电厂的创业史和影片。三楼还有陶瓷呢！在这些陶瓷里面令我印象最深的是一个模仿着大钟造的小钟，这个小钟是我们的市长去日本时，日本一个城市的市长送给他的纪念品，而我们的市长却把它放在博物馆里，让市民们去看！

参观恐龙博物馆，使我增长了知识，开阔了眼界！

英语念起来干枯无聊，我偶尔往前面望去，有一排同学没事可做，竟然搞起敢死队的工作——在英语老师的眼皮子底下看漫画书，晕。更为巧合的是――竟然都是坐在一排的人！怀疑是不是串通好了的呢。

敢死队员1号：小心翼翼型

这位队员一边看着书，一边虎视耽耽地望着老师。瞧，他刚翻一页，就抬头看看老师，接着又翻一页，然后有抬头望望老师，这样重复循环，真不知道他把内容看进去没有。看见老师的目光没有扫向他，他赶紧抓住机会连翻几页，然后突然抬头，盯着老师。

敢死队员2号：动作怪怪型

这位队员可有点怪了，看着书，一会儿掏掏鼻子，一会儿打打哈欠，一会儿摸摸耳朵，一副惟恐天下不乱的样子，好像不让老师发现他的举动就不甘心似的，真是个怪人。

敢死队员3、4号：谈天说地型

这两位同学有些不把老师放在眼里了，边看书边聊天。我隐隐约约听见他们说冒险岛OL，说漫画内容，说小说，说娱乐咨询，就连老师和同学的目光扫向他们，也无济于事。

敢死队员5号：边学边看型

这位同学好像有些明白学习的重要性，看了几分钟的书，马上立起来听老师的讲课。课上一半时，老师为了扫查班上的敢死队，把同学们一个叫起一个问问题。这下可让这群敢死队员们开始惶恐不安了，他们连书都顾不着看呢。而这位队员呢，看一会儿就学学，这一招算是对他的MISS了。

敢死队员6号：理直气壮型

这位同学可是班上的霸王级分子了（注：别乱想，不是我啊），他可是一人之下，几十人之上，谁敢对他不敬，他的落雷马上就落在你头上了，（注：我已经欠了他3顿打了，要不是我能帮他弄电脑作业，我早就魂飞天了）因此每人敢告发他。不知是她的好运还是老师放水，他这样看了一堂课，竟然都没半点被批评，真太不公平了！！

谁知道，老师从天而降，为了抓住敢死分子，居然来个背后突袭，到所有座位后边地毯式搜索。5名敢死队员唰地一声，在同一时间内放下书，装起乖乖。只有敢死队员6号稳如泰山，而老师的目光明明瞄准了他，可老师却好像在放水一样，竟纵容他在自己眼皮子底下活动，真气死人了！而其他5位的敢死队员便无机可乘，只好乖乖停课，唯独6号占了便宜。

Many years ago, when the first computer came into being, many people

predicted the age of computer has come. Now only two decades passed, here comes

the new age of cellphone. Lets look at how people depend on the phone. They use

cellphone to work and to communicate with families and friends. With the

development of technology, online payment is popular and people just need a

cellphone to pay all the bills. How convenient it is. We are lucky to live in

the age of technology. But at the same time, if we dont control ourselves, we

will lose in the technology world, such as some children overuse cellphone and

learn nothing at all.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a lunar (阴历)holiday, occurring (存正)on the fifth

day of the fifth lunar month (农历史五月第五天). Dragon Boat Festival is my favourite

festival.During the holiday of Dragon Boat Festival,I got together with my

family to have a big meal.We ofen ate the zongzi.It tasted very nice.And we saw

the Dragon Boat Races.I felt excited because the race was bustling with noise

and excitement.At Dragon Boat Festival,we also drank realgar wine.Some people

thought drank realgar wine can protect themselves from illness.Dragon Boat

Festival was interesting and I like it very much.

The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is a significant (有意义的)holiday celebrated

(庆祝)in China, and the one with the longest history (历史最悠久). The Dragon Boat

Festival is celebrated by boat races (龙舟赛) in the shape of dragons. Competing

teams (竞争团队) row their boats forward to a drumbeat (击古)racing to reach the

finish end first.

The boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are traditional customs

(传统习俗)to attempts to (试图)rescue (搭救) the patriotic poet (爱国诗人)Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan

drowned (溺死) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C. Chinese

citizens now throw bamboo leaves (竹叶) filled with cooked rice into the

water.

Therefore the fish could eat the rice rather than the hero poet. This later

on turned into the custom of eating tzungtzu and rice dumplings(棕子).

The celebrations is a time for protection (防护) from evil (邪恶) and disease

(疾病) for the rest of the year. It is done so by different practices such as

hanging healthy herbs on the front door, drinking nutritious concoctions (营养品),

and displaying (展示) portraits (画像) of evils nemesis(邪恶报应), Chung Kuei. If one

manages to (成功做...) stand (直立)an egg on its end at exactly 12:00 noon, the

following year will be a lucky one.

Today, people eat bamboo-wrapped steamed glutinous(粘的) rice dumplings

called zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fish) and race dragon

boats in memory of Qus dramatic death.
