Dear editor，

I am writing to tell you about what I saw while traveling during this winter vacation.

I was surprised to see so many immoral behaviors in public places.Some people spit at will wherever they went; some scratched their names on the street walls or other scenic spots, which did great damage to them.

In my opinion, it’s high time we should take action to help improve the situation.First, certain laws should be passed to ensure people won’t damage the environment.Second, our media should also take responsibility to guide people to protect the environment.Last but not least, we travelers should learn to be more responsible for what we did.

Only by working together can we make our country become more and more beautiful!

Best wishes!

Yours，

Li Hua

亲爱的编辑，

我写信是想告诉你我在这个寒假旅行时看到了什么。

我很惊讶在公共场所看到这么多不道德的行为，有些人随地吐痰随地吐痰，有些人在街上的墙上或其他风景名胜区，他们造成了巨大的损害他们的名字。

在我看来，它的高的时候，我们应该采取行动来帮助改善这种状况。首先，一定应通过法律确保人们不会破坏环境。其次，我们的媒体也应该承担责任，引导人们保护环境。最后但并非最不重要的，我们的旅客应该为我们没有更多的责任。

只有通过共同努力，我们才能使我们的国家变得越来越美丽!

最美好的祝福!

你的，

李华

今天， 我和爸爸妈妈的朋友一行十五个人乘着两辆面包车，浩浩荡荡的来到上海枫泾古镇旅游区游玩。

由于不熟悉，请了一个导游，听导游说枫泾古镇到处水网遍布，大多数人的房子都沿湖而建，古镇里的房子都保留了以前的特色，屋顶都是用瓦片做的，墙都是用石头或木头做的，这里最有人情味的是的是一条长廊，大约两百米左右，当初设计师把这长廊设计的很有人性化夏天不用撑伞，下雨不会湿鞋，给人们带来了很多方便。

这里到处卖的大多数都是诸葛亮用的东西，比如孔明扇，弩等。清澈的湖能照出屋子的倒影，三轮车在狭窄的弄堂里行驶，杨柳随风摆动像在跳舞，游客在钓鱼，有的在船上嬉戏，可有趣了。

天色渐渐暗了下来，我们依依不舍的回家了。

United Kingdom

英语作文范文：Although we have learned English for several years, and we have some knowledge about the English-speaking countries, there are still many people can not distinguish the relationships between England, Britain and United Kingdom. UK is the short form of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or commonly known as Britain. UK is composed of four parts. They are: England, Scotland, Welsh and Northern Ireland. London is the capital of UK. UK is a constitutional monarchy, and the head of state is a king or a queen. The United Kingdom is governed, in the name of the Sovereign by His or Her Majestys Government.

【翻译】尽管我们学了几年英语，对英语国家也有一些了解，但是，仍然有很多人无法区分英格兰，不列颠和英国。英国是大不列颠和北爱尔兰联合王国的简称，通常也叫英 国。英国由四部分组成，即英格兰，苏格兰，威尔士和北爱尔兰。伦敦是英国的首都。英国是一个君主立宪制国家，国家的首脑是国王或女王。英国是由国王或女王 及其管辖的政府统治的。

旅游中的不文明行为

随着人们生活水平的逐步提高，在中秋节、国庆节等假期中，越来越多的人选择出行旅游。一些富有人文历史、风景优美的景点，成为了大众的首选。

但是随着旅游人数不断增加，旅游中的不文明行为也不断增多。游客们随意攀爬、拍照，在景点随意涂画、刻、践踏草坪、损坏植被，不讲卫生，垃圾随处丢弃。旅游中的不文明现象，正持续损害着中国游客的形象。

我认为文明旅游可以注重以下一些方面：首先，旅游者要提高自身文化素质，做到文明出行，不做一些破坏文化的行为，并且及时提醒他人的不文明行为。第二，导游、景点管理处要对旅客不文明的行为加以提醒劝阻。第三，媒体应加大曝光度，使人们逐渐意识到不文明旅行的严重性。最后政府要根据旅客的行为实施一定的惩罚措施，完善相关法律法规。我相信这些问题都会逐步解决，一个美丽的明天在等着我们。

Uncivilized behavior in Tourism

With the gradual improvement of peoples living standards, more and more people choose to travel during the holidays. Many people choose the humanities history and scenic spots to travel.

But with the increasing number of tourists, the uncivilized behavior of tourism is

increasing. Visitors free climbing, take pictures, in spots random graffiti, lettering, damage to vegetation, dont speak hygiene, waste discarded everywhere. Uncivilized phenomenon in tourism, is continuing to damage the image of Chinese tourists.

I believe that the cultural tourism can focus on the following aspects: first, tourists should improve cultural quality, do civilized travel, dont do some damage to the culture, and timely reminder of the uncivilized behavior of others. Second, the tourist guide and the scenic spot management office should discourage the uncivilized behavior of tourists. Third, the media should increase the degree of exposure, so that people gradually realized the seriousness of the

uncivilized travel. Finally, the government should implement some punitive measures according to the behavior of the passengers, improve the relevant laws and regulations. I believe that these problems will be solved step by step, and a beautiful tomorrow is waiting for us.

上周日我和朋友们去了动物园.那天天气很热、晴朗.我们乘公交大约两个小时才到那.动物园里有成千上万的人.我们看见了许多动物.如：熊猫、袋鼠、北极熊、长颈鹿、大象、老虎、狼、蛇等等.我们也看了大象表演.大象是如此聪明的动物,他们能象我们人类一样做动作.中午我们野餐并把垃圾扔到了垃圾箱.我们直到10点才回家.尽管我们很累,我们去非常高兴.

范文二：文明旅游

有些旅游景点的文物景观遭到了严重的破坏，致使最近文明旅游的倡议越来越受重视，因此就“游客可付费在仿造长城上涂写留言”发表看法。

内容包括：(1)谈谈对某些人喜欢在旅游景点随便涂鸦留言的看法;

(2)对专门修一段仿造城墙让游客付高价留言的做法你是赞成还是反对，并简要陈述你的理由。

It is reported that tourists to China’s Great Wall can now leave their mark on a fake(伪造的) wall recently built near the real wall in Badaling if they pay 999 yuan.

In China, many visitors have the hobby of carving graffiti on places of interest, especially on some famous cultural relics. Last year I went to the Great Wall and found many people had left names and ugly words on the Wall, which destroys many historic bricks. In my opinion, such people should feel ashamed of leaving their marks on the great relics which were created by our ancestors.

So personally, I quite agree with this brilliant project though it has caused criticism from some people. The Great Wall would be ruined one day if we didn’t take any steps to protect it. The fake wall is a really good idea because it will protect our relics as well as making profits from the project

It was a fine day! I went to several places of interest such as the Great Wall and Tiananmen square.I was amazed by Chinas historical background and the industrious Chinese people who built the Great Wall. People are very friendly here. I was greeted by amiable people who were nice enough to tell me about the history of China and by modest students who later practiced speaking English with me. China has left me a wonderful impression and I look forward to come back here for the Olympics.

I love traveling. Traveling not only broadens my horizons but also opens my eyes to the world.

Whats more， it refreshes me. You can go to Disneyland and experience what its like to be “a child again!” You can visit one of the “seven wonders of the world，” such as the Grand Canyon and feel the magnificence of nature! You can taste the “magicial” ice water on a glacier， which can help you bee more beautiful and make you live longer. Just forget all trifles and burdens that you have in your mind. Experience is a type of living knowledge.

Youll be sure to experience many new things when traveling. You dont even need a tour guide if you long for more freedom. Just dont forget to bring your backpack!

My parents and I go to guilin tourism, heard that there are a lot of places of interest.

On that day, my parents and I went to guilin famous rock hole - the reed flute.

We came into the cave, cave dark inside. Commentator the flashlight to light for us, give us commentator rock: the rock, the world-famous strange form strange.

We started towards the rock, and began to listen to the lecturers explain rocks. The first piece of rock is: fruits, representing the there are plenty of fruits and vegetables, a nodal melon, Chinese cabbage, chayote, apples, grapes and watermelon... The second rock is a vacant lot, named: crystal palace. I think here somehow, the ground is very smooth, I found a rock touch, a cold fish. Suddenly, the scene to turn off the lights, colorful light appeared on the rocks, like many stars shine in the underground. There are still some ancient music played as if the "wonderland". For a couple of rock hole again, we are at the north fujian "lion", on a big rock, sit a fierce lion, welcome tourists visit the reed flute again next time.

On this day, I saw all kinds of rocks, also let I plug in the wings of imagination.

我和爸爸妈妈一起去桂林旅游，听说那里有很多名胜古迹。

就在那一天，我和爸爸妈妈就去了桂林著名的岩石洞进行观光——芦笛岩。

我们一进到芦笛岩，洞里面黑漆漆。解说员打开手电筒来为我们照明，给我们解说山石：山石闻名中外，奇形古怪。

我们开始走向岩石，并开始听解说员讲解山石。第一块山石是：瓜果飘香，代表着有许许多多的瓜果蔬菜，有节瓜、有大白菜、有佛手瓜、有苹果、有葡萄、有西瓜……第二块山石是一个空地，名叫：水晶宫。我觉得这里莫名奇妙的，地面非常的光滑，我找了一块大岩石摸一摸，冷冰冰的。突然，现场关灯，岩石上出现了五颜六色的光芒，像许多颗星星在往地下照耀。还有奏起了一些古老的音乐，仿佛到了“仙境”。再走了几个岩石洞，我们到了“雄狮送客”，在大大的岩石上面，坐着一只威猛的狮子，欢迎游客们下次再来参观芦笛岩。

这一天，我看到了各种各样的岩石，也让我的想象力插上了翅膀。

Several days ago, my family went to Mountain Halla in South Korea. We took flying there. There are a lot of trees around the mountain, and clouds around half of the mountain. When we walked into the mountain, we could hear nothing except for birds. We could see strange stones and water from the spring. The day was sunny, we could climb the moutain quickly. We got the top of the mountain within two hours. Nobody felt tired but very happy. There was beautiful. In the afternoon, when we dicided to go back, we found it was difficult, we must be careful. Luckily, we got ground without nothing happened over four hours, at that time, we all felt tired, but we thought it was worthy to do it.

A succession of beautiful scenery makes one feel delighted. A long stay in the same surroundings to make everything the same. Routine work often makes one feel bored But if you take a trip or a long journey on your holidays to some scenic spots or historic sites, that will make great difference.

Travel can widen ones knowledge. The farther you go, the more you will learn about different politics, economics, customs as well as geography. If you travel the whole world some day, you will fully understand the globe on which we live.

However, too much travel causes tiredness. You get on a bus or a taxi, you travel on the train or in a plane, being patient with the hours needed on your mute from one place to another, that will make you exhausted after a while.

看不完的美景使人感到愉快。长期呆在一个地方令人乏味。日常工作常使人感到厌倦。假如你在假期中去名胜古迹旅游，情况就不同了。

旅游可以增长人们的知识。你走得越远，你就会学到不同的政治、经济、风俗和地理知识。如果有朝一日你周游世界，你就会完全懂得我们所生活的这个地球。

然而，过多的旅游会使人感到疲劳。不管你乘坐公共汽车或出租车，还是乘坐火车或飞机从一个地方到另一个地方，你得耐心的坐着熬时间，这很快就会使你疲劳。

I took a trip to Shanghai with my mother during the seven-day holiday. It took us more than two hours to drive to Shanghai from my home in Haimen. We stayed in a large hotel on the eighth floor.

On the first day, I just stayed in the hotel and rested. On the second day, my brother and I went to Nanjing Road. It’s the busiest street in Shanghai. When we got there, there were lots of people.

We walked from one shop to another. I bought two T-shirts and two pairs of trousers for the coming summer. The T-shirts and trousers I bought are all white because white is my favourite colour.

My brother also bought some clothes. On the third day, my mother took me to Jinjiang Entertainment Centre. It was full of people. I played many kinds of games there. I had a good time.

The other days, I went to some other interesting places, such as the Oriental Bright Pearl TV Tower, the Huangpu River and Shanghai International Conference Centre.

I didn’t forget to do my homework in the evening. I had a full and happy holiday.
