我的假期英语作文（实用20篇）

For most people， they will choose to travel during holiday because they want to relieve themselves from the high pressure of work。 However， it happens quite often that people often ran into traffic jams on the way to travel。 Some people think that we can relax ourselves by traveling no matter of how many people there。 Some people would rather to stay in home than going out to travel because they think there are too many people swarm into the scenic spots。 In my point of view， I would rather to stay indoors rather than going out to travel。 Reasons are listed below。

Firstly， during holiday， so many people swarm into the travel spots that we can’t enjoy ourselves to the full。 For most people， they want to travel because during holiday， they can have several days to relieve themselves by traveling。 However， so many people crowd together will make their tour lose the original fun。

Secondly， during holiday， price will be rising drastically。 It is known to all that you need to spend much more to buy things or taking bus or any other transportation since many retailers will raise goods’ price during this holiday to get fat profits。

All in all， travel during holiday is not a good choice for us since its inconvenience in traveling among a huge crowd of people and also the dramatically high price for goods and transportations will let us pay extra money。

How can we live a full and meaningful holiday when we are getting closer

and closer to our colorful summer vacation? Let me tell you about my ideal

summer vacation.

Golgi once said: "books are the ladder of human progress". Reading, not

only enriches knowledge, but also makes people understand the philosophy of

life. Yes, there are good, evil, ugly, beautiful in the book, and there are many

wonderful stories. I am a "bookworm", long holidays of course this book friends!

Im going to go to the Xinhua Bookstore to read every day, the campus story, the

name of the world, the Confucian classics, the fairy tales, the detective

stories... I like them all。 Haha, summer vacation packages can treat. I read

"scream", and I was reading "Kong Yi." Although it had been read earlier, in the

atmosphere created by "cry", the sad and ridiculous Kong Yi seemed to have added

a lot of misery. Also read "naughty bag horse small jump", humorous humor only

smile to the stomach pain. The book is really spiritual food!

Voltaire said, "life lies in movement." The long summer vacation, in order

to make my health is good, we must do some exercise. A sport that I love most is

to play table tennis, I cant miss this chance to go to the gym during the

summer vacation, "kill" on a back, and the real "Table Tennis Master blows, they

learn to play ping-pong essentials, and find out the deficiencies of their own

efforts to learn for table tennis, a qualitative leap. I looked at the little

yellow ball jumping up and down, while the sweat, but in the heart of the

emergence of unspeakable joy.

Holiday is at home, on the Internet. Of course I this "netheads" to a

chain. Open the "composition", look at the composition, pack a bag, and then go

to the BBS irrigation, send post, understanding the novel interesting. Play

tired, close your eyes and listen to the melodious music, let your mind rest,

melodious music ups and downs, I feel the people are immersed in the music, is

really a kind of enjoyment! Since the said: listen to music at any time, its

nuts. Point open "Baidu", hot news reports immediately appear in front of, hey,

really many ah! The whole country and the big and small things are immediately

present, really countless ah! There is a lot of encyclopedia knowledge on the

Internet. I suck the nutrition of knowledge in the ocean of knowledge, and add

some extracurricular knowledge. It is: the Internet, a good holiday partner.

My ideal summer vacation, perhaps not the richest, is the most suitable for

me, and I believe I will have a fullest and most meaningful holiday.

On Monday, I went BBQ with my classmates who threw a celebration party at our middle school principle‘s flat. Our parents were invited to the party. Everybody was excited about the holiday. I ate a lot of delicious food at that time.

On Tuesday, I went visiting my uncle‘s family with my parents. We went to celebrate our good time at a fancy restaurant in Shanghai. Later that day, we sang karaoke in my uncle‘s house. We stayed for the night.

On Wednesday, I went shopping with my cousins. We bought some brand name t-shirts and pants. In the afternoon, my cousins gave me a fun ride on the city highway. They also taught me how to drive their fancy car, so I tried to do some turning and parking. It was not easy first. But I learnt quick.

On Thursday, we returned home with many gifts from our trip. I tried to get some rest. At night, I chatted with my classmates on the phone, and I watched CCTV before going to bed.

Since last Friday, I started to finish up my homework assignments on my personal laptop. Some of my assignments were quite boring. After I finished the homework, I emailed them to my teachers. That was the end of it. I started to prepare things for school on this coming Monday.

Directions:

Study the following two pie charts carefully and write an essay entitled The Changes in College Students’Ways of Spending Vacations. In this essay you should:

(1) interpret college student’s ways of spending vacations in 1980 and2004,

(2) analyze possible reasons for the change, and

(3) your comments about the change.

You should write 160-200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.

As is clearly shown by the two pie charts, from 1980 to 2004 the students who go traveling and do social practices during vacations increase greatly while those who stay at home decrease a lot. For instance, in 1980, only 9% of the students took advantage of their vacation time to do social practice, but its percentage has been more than tripled in 2004. Obviously, great changes have taken place in the way that college students spend their vacations.

Considering these changes, we can find there are possibly three main reasons. Firstly, with the fast development of economy, many people have become rich, which makes it possible for more students to go traveling. Most parents tend to support their children to travel financially. Secondly, the reason lies in the fact that the boom of tourism has made traveling attractive and, also, modem transportation has made it easier for students to go out to travel. The travel agencies not only provide historic sightseeing but also cultural as well as educational tour around China. What is more important, the fast changing society has raised higher requirements for college graduates. The authorities of Chinese university or college have been encouraging their students to do social practices in the hope that college students would broaden their view to know more about the society and become more adaptable to the future work after they graduate. Therefore, more students go out traveling or doing social practices during the vacations.

As a college student, I think the charts reflect the exciting progress on the college students’ thinking patterns. We have become much mature to realize how to spend our vacations meaningfully and practically. Form the changes in the charts, it is easy for us to predict that more and more college students will walk out their home and throw themselves into more various vacation activities.

It was a very busy evening. I was doing my homework at my home. My father was writing a composition in the study room. My mother was interested in Shanghai opera. She was watching a Shanghai opera contest. The apartment was very quiet. Suddenly the light went out. It was a blackout, but I liked it very much. It came and I didn’t have to do my homework. We went to the living room very slowly. After 5 minutes, we all sat in the sofa. It was a lucky, fortunate day. I said that let’s held a concert. My parents agreed with me. I took out some candles and lighted up. We were singing, laughing and talking. We had a really good time. But while I was singing, the light suddenly turned on. Oh, my God.

Almost everyone knows that water covers three-fourths of the earths

surface. Most of it， however， is in the oceans and is too salty to drink. Also，

some of it is frozen and cannot be used. In fact， less than one percent is left

for the use of people， animals and plant life. All through history men have

tried to build their homes near the sources of fresh water. Now fresh water is

becoming scarce， but more and more is needed because of the increasing number of

people in the world. Some industries also use large amounts of fresh water in

the production of things such as steel， petroleum， paper and rubber and so on.

Scientists estimate that the need for fresh water will have doubled by the year

2003. If they are correct， we must find new ways of saving it or producing it.

Some nations have worked on the problem and are already sharing their

information with others. They are trying to keep their rivers from becoming

polluted. Deep wells are also being dug， and rain water is being collected in

huge artificial lakes. In one way or another， they hope to provide enough water

to satisfy the needs of their people.

Dragon Boat Festival,often known as Tuen Ng Festival or Duan Wu Festival,is

a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the

Chinese calendar.Dragon Boat festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan.He

committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the

corruption of the Chu government.People sat on dragon boats,and tried to scare

the fishes away by the thundering sound of drums.Hence,toady we sail the dragon

boats to celebrate this festival.Also,people eat zongzi (the food originally

intended to feed the fishes) in memory of Qus dramatic death.

It seems we are living in the conflict between modern and traditional

cultures every day. Hearing the blaring of horns the moment you step out of your

house, seeing the so called "pop" the moment you open your eyes, you cant help

thinking, "Will the traditional culture be gradually lost?"

Many people believe so. They may put right in front of you all the

evidences they can dig out. They may argue that people are rushing to

restaurants instead of cooking at home, listening to pop music but not

traditional, wearing in a way people couldnt imagine ten years ago. Modern

people like the air of freedom, not to be restrained by traditions. They offer

this long list, only trying to confirm that this world is full of

fashion,competition and temptation and the traditional culture is fading and

will be lost at last.

Though we are now living in a world in which undeclared aggression, war,

hypocrisy, chicanery, anarchy are part of our daily life. Though this is a

skeptical age, and our faith has weakened, our confidence in some aspects of the

traditional culture should and would never be lost.

Wouldnt you agree that our traditional culture is always credited with

modesty, politeness and respectfulness, which have always been treasured for

more than five thousand years?Even in this modern world, people still admire

those with good manners, those who are polite to others or respectful to old

people.

Wouldnt you agree that our Chinese traditional music is beautiful and

artistic and our Chinese tea culture is always an appealing treasure to people

around the world?

So there may just be some changes in our lifestyle or our attitudes towards

life, but little change occurs to some fundamental aspects of our traditional

culture that people still treasure in heart.

The traditional culture will never be lost, I believe.

Especially cold winter vacation of this year, the storm rages as snowflakes flying down to the earth covered with a silvery white quilt. Dad and I decided to take me to saipan, holiday together.

Four hours of flight is brought us from the cold winter wind cool summer. Mood immediately become particularly easily.

今年的寒假特别冷，风雪肆虐，鹅毛般的雪花飞落下来，给大地披上了一条银白的棉被。爸爸决定带我去塞班岛，和我一起度假。

Hello everyone. My name is Alec. I’m so glad to be here. My topic is my holiday.

Today is my holiday. I ask my mum, “Can we go to Baiyun Mountain with Dad?” “Good idea,” says mum. We pack some water and snacks, and then we drive there. There are two ways to the top of the mountain. We choose the steeper one because we want a challenge. The scenery is very beautiful. There are trees and flowers everywhere. We see a beehive with bees busy working. We meet a lot of people on the way. Some of them are singing, some of them are dancing, and some of them are playing with their family.

When we climb halfway up the mountain, it is getting steeper and steeper. We are bathed in sweat. Mum and I are tired to walk. Dad says, “keep on going. Where there is a will there is a way.” At last we climb to the summit. We are very happy though we arevery tired. From the peak of Baiyun Mountain we can see the whole city of Guangzhou. It is so beautiful. We sit down, relax, and enjoy our snacks.

I wish I could have more time like this to relax with my family.

今天真是充实而又忙碌的一天，在这一天中我干了许多事情，令我十分高兴。因为清明小长假的第二天没有浪费。

为什么这么说呢?因为以往的假期总是在家干那几件事：写作业、下楼玩、上网聊天、看电视、看书、复习。我的假期总是在极其的不充实中度过的，这让我十分生气，从来没有一次假期我不是在家。想出门玩，时间不允许;想集体活动，妈妈不放心;想与同学痛快地打游戏，妈妈说会耽误学习;而父母带我出去玩，去的地方许多我都去了无数次了，如：珍珠泉、动物园、科技馆、公园。也有许多时候父母会征求我的意见，我们一家便一起兴高采烈的出发了，但路上总有事情引起吵架，如：上次去宜兴、常州玩但是在住酒店的问题上父母吵了起来，爸爸说：“去星级酒店!”妈妈说：“去快捷酒店!”而到了晚上我们全家却因为酒店吃饭问题吵了起来，各据一词。我与爸爸要吃火锅，妈妈要去高家庄吃，最终妈妈说服了老爸，老爸这个“叛军”还想让我“投降”，我“坚守阵地”可最后也没受得了他们的“狂轰滥炸”般的攻击，逃走了。

我家的假期就这几种，可像今天如此充实忙碌，还是头一天。早晨，我给手机充了值，可下午移动一收月租费我的手机又只剩13.5元了。下午我们又去了苏宁小商品市场买了许多文具、碗、勺子、杯子。也帮我买了鞋子，物价真高啊我的一双鞋子进货价打5折还要150元!真贵!我与妈妈满载而归，开心无比!

When talk about America, most people will think of the great buildings and

the lively parties, because the Hollywood movies present us the strongest

America. Whats more, the media always report how powerful America is and the

foreign media criticize China all the time, so people lose faith about our

country. Actually, every country is not perfect. Recently, I have learned a lot

about America, which helped me make the better judgment. A video was made by a

Chinese student who had studied in America for 6 years. He told people that some

part of America was like the big countryside and not every place looked like the

movies presented in the screen. He came to the conclusion that perfect country

did not exist. So we need to take the right attitude to our country, and dont

lose faith when we see the bad sides.

when we think of halloween, we think of "trick or treat", pumpkins, jack o lanterns, vampires and haunted houses.

but do you know the origin of halloween? why does it fall on 31 october? what kind of festival is it? why is it so creepy?

halloween dates back to a celtic festival called samhain. november 1 is the new year of the celts, who lived in europe more than a thousand years ago. this is the day which marked the end of summer and harvest.

the celts believed that on the night of october 31, ghosts of the dead would return to earth. the celts celebrated samhain by dressing up in costumes with animal heads and having bonfires.

many celts settled in britain and ireland, where the festival became popular. those who moved to america took the tradition with them.

nowadays, most people celebrate halloween but only for fun. they are not worried about ghosts.

kids in america will dress up as devils or angels and will go from house to house calling "trick or treat", playing mischievous tricks and getting sweets.

americans spend more money on halloween than christmas! in xx, more than hk$45 billion was spent on halloween. and hk$15 billion of that was spent on candy alone!!!

kids in britain also dress up at halloween. they visit houses, sing songs or tell a joke to get sweets. many go to halloween parties and play games like "ducking for apples". you must pick up an apple in water but you can only use your mouth. try it!

From the earliest time to the present days, viewpoints concerning human

nature were vehemently contended among prominent philosophers. Mencius believed

human nature is good, and people are naturally inclined toward virtue. While,

Xunzi deemed human are basically evil who need to be changed by man-made.

As it is widely known, human nature is that indestructible matrix upon

which the character is built. Accordingly, to a large extent, the basic nature

of human beings cannot be changed. On the other hand, each of us is naturally

endowed with diverse both qualities and personalities, which makes us unfold an

apparently distinct character. Then, it is hard for one to change his nature

fundamentally. Regardless of whether nature is innate or habitus acquired, they

were both a consistently developing courses that cannot be easily changed in a

short time. Last but not the least, external influencing factors, like

religious, education and even social institutions can merely direct our nature

on account of the most limited control. Thus, it is only the surface that is

capable of alteration, improvement and refinement.

In a word, the basic nature of human beings does not and cannot change and

also no one can fundamentally change his nature in the short time. But people

can make it perfect.

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also

known as the Chinese New Year.

To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the

West.

The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar

rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from

late January to early February.

To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the

lunar New Year‘s Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar

calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern

Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the

country.

Spring Festival is the most importantand popular festival in China.Before

Spring Festival ,the people usually clean and decorate their houses.And they go

to the Flower Fairs to buy some flowers.

During Spring Festival ,the adults usually give lucky money to

children.People often get together and have a big meal.Some people eat dumpling

for dinner.

I love Spring Festival .
