一篇关于去美国旅游的英语作文【精品20篇】

June 6th Thursday Sunny

This afternoon a young American friend called Mike came to our school. He visited our lab, library and school factory. At five oclock he had a free talk with some of my classmates. I was lucky to be one of them.

Mike spoke English slowly and carefully, so we could understand what he said. We talked about our English study for about an hour. Before he left our school, I asked him in English, "What do you think of our school?" He answered with a smile, "Oh, its wonderful!"

This is the first time for me to talk with a foreigner in English. English is really userful.

迈克的英语讲得很慢，很认真，所以我们能听懂他说的话。关于英语学习情况我们聊了大约一个小时。在他离校之前，我用英语问他：“你认为我们学校怎么样？”他面带微笑回答：“好极了！”

这是我第一次用英语同老外谈话，英语真的挺有用。

There are varied ways of defining tourism. Some people regard it as a

pollution-free industry; others think of it an invisible school, Both are based

on an accepted fact that tourism cannot only produce profits bearing no

pollution along with, but help broaden knowledge and fortify healthy. Aside from

the above there exists awidespread theory, claiming that whatever is of the

ability to increase in capital belongs to productive industry. In this sense,

tourism should hold a position in the scope and ought to be treated as such.

It is true that there is some sense in the theory, yet another equally or

even more important aspect should be granted more publicity to. Tourism, in

terms of its objective purposes, has a social function which contributes to

human communication. Coming from vadous social backgrounds, having motives and

goals of every kind, tourists get together, draw close and exchange ideas of

their own, from which a fresh state of mind will be created. So what kind of

production is it? To the question we should have good reason to give a proper

answer: it is a spirit production, a reproduction of relations of production.

And the more frequently such exchanges are made, the more good they will do to

promoting social and economic development of the mutual. If it is the case that

making money through tourism means a dent we have made, so it foretells a

fortune to provide cultural service along with tourism. Therefore, to keep close

eyes on the latter involves changing our minds first, that is, tourism is by no

means a pure economic concept, but takes plenty of ideological activities as its

content.

To sum up, unlike other economic forms, the profits from tourism economy

cannot be measured completely by means of how much output value, profit, and

foreign exchange it will produce. In addition to the reputation of

pollution-free industry, its social and far-reaching profit should be probed

more deeply. As such the existing scenic spots ought to be kept in good

maintenance, and some new ones exploited. Moreover, constructing first-class

soft and hard surroundings is desired to attract tourists, the foreign and the

domestic.

很久以前，我就向往她，在梦里，我的心常漂洋过海来到那遥远的国度——美国。他的全名美利坚合众国，是由五十个州和一个联邦直辖特区组成的联邦共和制国家，东濒大西洋，西临太平洋，北靠加拿大，南接墨西哥，是一个多文化、多种族的国家。我们这次旅行便是其中的加利福尼亚州，加利福尼亚州位于美国西部，是美国经济最发达、人口最多的州。

在进入机场的一瞬间，我突然意识到，我马上要走了，要离开我生活了十二年的国家了，经过漫长的安检，终于来到了候机大厅，登机口前的人群像一条长龙，以极慢的速度向前蔓延着，我的心情非常激动，这是我第一次坐飞机，按捺不住兴奋急切的心情，我几乎飞着进了飞机。坐在座椅上，系好安全带，我甚至能依稀听见自己的心跳，不一会儿，飞机两旁的景物渐渐移动起来，接着，它们迅速地朝后方跑去。机翼微微向下翻转，飞机便像轻盈的小鸟一般腾空而起。景物渐渐变小，直到洁白的云层挡住了朦胧的视野。

经过十三个小时的漫长征程，汪洋不见了，取而代之的是大面积的陆地，“噔”地一下，飞机着陆了，随着乘务员富有磁性的声音，走过长长的通道，我踏上了美国的土地。

我的寄宿家庭女主人叫安，是一位善良而富有爱心的人，她有一头金黄色的头发，一双蓝色的眼睛，经常穿着休闲装，和蔼慈祥，安有四个孩子，其中两个还不到十岁，分别是艾丽和玛丽。安家的房子并不大，是用木材筑成的，冬暖夏凉，前院的一侧有一排挺拔的松树，虽然没有修葺，但十分整齐，绿茵茵的草地覆盖了前院，一只胖嘟嘟的小猫趴在草坪上打盹。房子后院与前院截然不同，全无小草的绿，而是水的蓝，清澈的水波在泳池里荡漾开来。“微风拂细柳，皎月映清泉”，用这句话形容后院再恰当不过了。每当晚饭过后，我便与艾丽和玛丽在泳池里游泳、玩水上排球。起先，在他们凌厉的攻势下，我屡屡失意，后来，我逐渐掌握了技巧，就是在拍球前一秒钟跳起来，这样便会得心应手，但是，后来他们使诈利用假动作，令我眼花缭乱，打的我措手不及。

在美国的这段日子里，我们通常吃西餐，安为我们做了两次中餐，她蒸米饭时总爱放类似于胡椒的调味品，安做的糖醋里脊味道鲜美，带有独特的异国风情，真是大饱口福。美国人的厨房极少见到油烟，他们通常烘烤或蒸煮食物。吃西餐也是很讲究的，当嘴里嚼着食物时，不要说话或喝水。用餐结束要把刀叉交插放在盘中……，刚开始很不习惯，但入乡随俗，尊重他们的饮食习惯。东西方的饮食习惯是截然不同的，东方的早餐一般喝粥，讲究养生，西方则有些“肆无忌惮”早餐很随意。东方人认为午饭是正餐，西方人则认为晚饭是正餐。而且，东方吃素食多，西方人以肉食为主。

每天最惬意得事情就是洗澡了，洗澡可以脱去烦恼，洗去疲惫，但是，当你裹着浴巾从热哄哄的浴室里出来时，千万别忘了，用毛巾把地板擦干净，因为美国人的卫生间是没有地漏的。

我们参观的第一个景点是环球影城，环球影城座落在洛杉矶的好莱坞，其代表建筑是门前银白色的地球。走进影城，我们游览的第一个项目是“未来水世界”，讲述的是一群水手运用智慧战胜海盗取得胜利的故事，场面十分壮观，据说，单是这一个摄影棚，就拍出了一部旷世之作，不能不感叹当今科技的发达啊!接着，我们乘坐游览车来到了由数百个摄影棚连成的城镇区。立刻让我感到耳目一新，高楼大厦，鳞次栉比，排列着各种风格的建筑物，建筑界的瑰宝济济一堂，仿佛是一座浓缩的世界，使人心旷神怡。游览结束后，我回过头想跟它说再见时，却惊讶地呆住了，在每个建筑物后，是一个个冰冷的铁架，而那些所谓的建筑物，都只是一层布，真是逼真至极，足以以假乱真了。

在惊讶之余，我们进了一个山洞，不时传来恐龙的嚎叫声，看见人类的头骨，整个山洞弥漫着恐怖的气息。突然，石壁上出现了许多恐龙，他们悠闲自在地生活着，场面温馨，可好景不长，霸王龙来了，安逸的生活别打破了，在霸王龙的撕扯下，游览车剧烈地摇晃起来，好像散架似得。最后，游览车拖着“残肢”冲出了山洞。

迪士尼乐园是我从小向往的地方。踏进大门，映入眼帘的是卡通人物，聪明的米奇，漂亮的米尼，憨厚的高飞，可爱的唐纳德，忠诚的布鲁托……。

一座高高的假山，里面是水的世界，这就是激流勇进了，我们搭上一条船，渐渐朝山顶驶去，山洞里是无边的黑暗，只有“嗒嗒”的闹钟声才知道时间在流逝。突然，措不及防地“轰”一下，船猛然俯冲了下去，淹没在水流中的尖叫声随着船一起冲下了假山……。

此外，雪山车也是十分刺激的，一条长长的隧道里有漫天的繁星，看起来像美丽的宇宙，我们坐在车中观赏美景，正当我陶醉在如花的宇宙中时，车子像离弦的箭一般冲了出去。此时，隧道不再是美丽的宇宙，而成了一个令人毛骨悚然的黑洞，车依旧飞奔着，但轨道却翻转了九十度，渐渐向下俯冲，直到前方出现了一丝亮光，“咚”地一声，我们被重重地抛出了隧道。

游完迪士尼我们来到了丹麦城，这里是当初殖民统治时期，丹麦人的领地，因时代保留了丹麦的生活方式和建筑风格而得名。这里高大的风车随处可见，使我不禁浮想联翩，广褒的草原上有白色的野花点缀，不时传来牧人的号角，牛羊在静静地吃草，“吱呀”转的风车旁，河水潺潺地流着……。丹麦城一行使我看到与美式不同的欧式建筑风格，我不禁感慨美国果然是一个多文化、多种族的国家啊!

最后一站我们来到了久负盛名的斯坦福大学，斯坦福大学是世界一流的学府，当初是为那些因贫困而上不起学的学生创办的。我很早就想一睹它的风光，今天终于如愿以偿了。黄色拱形大门掩映在万花丛中，微风拂面带来幽幽花香沁人心脾。斯坦福大学给人以古朴典雅，置身其中，连风中也带有幽幽古韵。参观完斯坦福后，我对他有了更深的了解。东西方文化的差异，使东西方的学府也各有不同，比如：斯坦福和清华大学，斯坦福的建筑以欧美风格为主，清华则是中西结合;斯坦福的教育是开发潜能，清华在这方面尚有欠缺;斯坦福的绿化多草与花，清华则是多树木

这次激情的美国之旅，不仅使我开阔了眼界，学到了知识，更使我了解了东西方文化的差异，真是一次难忘的旅行啊!

[介绍美国旅游的作文

Mary is an American girl. She has a round face. She has golden hair and blue eyes. She looks very beautiful. Mary is very good at English and always helps us practise English. She has a good sense of humour. She is generous and always willing to share things with us and makes us very happy. She is very interested in Chinese. But she can’t speak it well. We’ll try our best to help her with her Chinese. For example, We often talk with her in Chinese after class and teach her to say correct Chinese words.

玛丽是美国女孩。她有一个圆圆的脸。她有金色的头发和蓝色的眼睛。她看起来很漂亮。玛丽英语很好，经常帮助我们练习英语。她有很好的幽默感。她是慷慨的，总是愿意与我们分享的东西，使我们非常高兴。她对中文很感兴趣。但她不能说得很好。我们会尽我们最大的努力去帮助她和她的中文。例如，我们经常和她在中文课，教她说正确的中文。

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。

Dishonesty in Tourism

1. 近年来旅游行业中不诚信现象比较普遍

2. 出现这一现象的原-因

3. 我对这一现象的看法和建议

Since 1980s, the economy of China has developed greatly. With more money in their pockets, people are spending more money on travelling, which has brought prosperity to tourism. Nevertheless, many travel agencies or agents are reported to cheat their customers and make money in a dishonest way.

The reason for dishonesty in tourism is various. First and for most, money is the spur. Some travel agencies use all means to cheat their customers in order to get more money. Secondly, to survive in the fierce competition, travel agencies have to make enough profits. To realize profit maximization, they cheat. Last but not least, their victims seem to have little sense of defending their rights.

To regulate travel agencies and protect the rights of tourists, the government has issued various laws. However, I think tourists can take the following tips to avoid travel scams. First, choose a trustworthy travel agency for your trip. Secondly, use your common sense and keep alert while travelling. Finally, defend yourself if your rights are violated.

Mobile Phone Obsession

As the drawing presents, there is a man walking across the street absorbedly focusing on his cell phone without noticing the surroundings. This sort of phenomenon is not uncommon and rare in some metropolis, especially among the youngsters.

What the picture illustrates is the prevailing situation that has long existed in todays China. That is the mobile phone obsession. With the advent of information age, people are becoming

increasingly fascinated on the electronic products, especially the cell phones. Not surprisingly, you could easily notice that most of us are obsessed in sending messages, playing online games with their mobile phones. It cannot be denied that this phenomenon may negatively impact the relationship among people, and therefore they will become estranged and isolated.

Personally, in view of the overuse of mobile phones, I hold that we individuals should raise the necessary awareness that good relationships are reinforced by sincere and face-to-face

communication.

In China, the college entrance exam is believed to be the most cruel exam, which will decide a student’s future. Many young people complain about this educational system, they yearn for the western education, which is reported to be much eaiser. But the fact is that not all foreign students like that.

在中国,高考被认为是最残酷的考试,这将决定一个学生的未来。许多年轻人抱怨这个教育体系,他们渴望西方的教育,西方教育一直被媒体报道上学轻松。但事实是,不是所有的外国学生都是这样轻松。

In America, high school students also need to take the very important exam so as to enter the college. Part of students choose to study in community college or just go to work, so they don’t have much pressure. They enjoy the high school life with joining many activities and taking all kinds of parties. But for the students who want to enter the top university, high school is not easy for them. They need to spend extra hours to study after class, which is much like Chinese students.

在美国,高中学生也需要参加非常重要的考试,为了上大学。一部分学生选择在社区大学学习或者是直接工作,所以他们没有太多的压力。他们享受高中生活，加入许多活动和各种各样的派对。但是那些想进入顶尖大学的学生,高中是不容易的。他们需要花额外的时间去课后学习,就像中国学生。

Actually, no matter in which country, every student needs to spend a lot of time studying in order to be competitive. If you yearn for an ease environment in high school, then you’d better prepare for the unexpected future.

其实,不管在哪个国家,每个学生都需要花大量的时间学习，才能有竞争力。如果你渴望在高中处于一个轻松的环境,那么你最好准备好迎接意想不到的未来。

Lying at the center of Beijing, the Forbidden City, called Gu Gong, in Chinese, was the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Now known as the Palace Museum, it is to the north of Tiananmen Square. Rectangular in shape, it is the worlds largest palace complex and covers 74 hectares. Surrounded by a six meter deep moat and a ten meter high wall are 9,999 buildings. The wall has a gate on each side. Opposite the Tiananmen Gate, to the north is the Gate of Devine Might (Shenwumen), which faces Jingshan Park. The distance between these two gates is 960 meters, while the distance between the gates in the east and west walls is 750 meters. There are unique and delicately structured towers on each of the four corners of the curtain wall. These afford views over both the palace and the city outside. The Forbidden City is divided into two parts. The southern section, or the Outer Court was where the emperor exercised his supreme power over the nation. The northern section, or the Inner Court was where he lived with his royal family. Until 1924 when the last emperor of China was driven from the Inner Court, fourteen emperors of the Ming dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing dynasty had reigned here. Having been the imperial palace for some five centuries, it houses numerous rare treasures and curiosities. Listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1987, the Palace Museum is now one of the most popular tourist attractions world wide.

Construction of the palace complex began in 1407, the 5th year of the Yongle reign of the third emperor of the Ming dynasty. It was completed fourteen years later in 1420. It was said that a million workers including one hundred thousand artisans were driven into the long-term hard labor. Stone needed was quarried from Fangshan, a suburb of Beijing. It was said a well was dug every fifty meters along the road in order to pour water onto the road in winter to slide huge stones on ice into the city. Huge amounts of timber and other materials were freighted from faraway provinces. Ancient Chinese people displayed their very considerable skills in building the Forbidden City. Take the grand red city wall for example. It has an 8.6 meters wide base reducing to 6.66 meters wide at the top. The angular shape of the wall totally frustrates attempts to climb it. The bricks were made from white lime and glutinous rice while the cement is made from glutinous rice and egg whites. These incredible materials make the wall extraordinarily strong.

Since yellow is the symbol of the royal family, it is the dominant color in the Forbidden City. Roofs are built with yellow glazed tiles; decorations in the palace are painted yellow; even the bricks on the ground are made yellow by a special process. However, there is one exception. Wenyuange, the royal library, has a black roof. The reason is that it was believed black represented water then and could extinguish fire.

Nowadays, the Forbidden City, or the Palace Museum is open to tourists from home and abroad. Splendid painted decoration on these royal architectural wonders, the grand and deluxe halls, with their surprisingly magnificent treasures will certainly satisfy "modern civilians".

To be an American is, as Henry James famously observed, a complex fate. But complexity was that rococo masters stock-in-trade, which may explain why he returned to his native country in 1904 after an absence of more than 20 years. To be sure, he was interested in a Jamesian walk down memory lane, with its full quota of meditative hairsplitting. Yet he also meant to take advantage of his hybrid status as a Europeanized American. I made no scruple, James explains in his introduction, of my conviction that I should understand and should care better and more than the most earnest of visitors, and yet that I should vibrate with more curiosity ... than the pilgrim with the longest list of questions. Vibrate he did, in the ornate and extraordinary periods of his late phase, and the result was a one-of-a-kind travel book, The American Scene.What appalls him the most, though, is the Almighty Dollar, which he perceives as the preliminary American postulate, the very bedrock of New World life: This basis is that of active pecuniary gain and of active pecuniary gain only--that of ones making the conditions so triumphantly pay that the prices, the manners, the other inconveniences, take their place as a friction it is comparatively easy to salve, wounds directly treatable with the wash of gold. Some will argue that the fussbudget author had spent too much time in England, where money remained a dirty word until after the Second World War. Others may find his diagnosis eerily prescient. In any case, The American Scene remains required reading for anybody interested in U.S. history, Henry James, or the incredible evolution of the compound sentence.

Santa Claus was born in US in the 1860s he was named this as he had a white beard and a belly,so he was named Santa Claus as this was the Dutch word for St Nicholas,Sintaklaas.Although the Dutch had bought him with them in the 17th century,he did not become an important person at Christmas until the Novelist Washington Irving put him in a novel that he wrote in 1809.This first Santa Claus was still known as St.Nicholas,he did smoke a pipe,and fly around in a wagon without any reindeer,but he did not have his red suit or live at the North Pole,he did however bring presents to children every year.

In 1863 He was given the name Santa Claus and bore the red suit,pipe,and his reindeer and sleigh.

Now Christmas celebrations vary greatly between regions of the United States,because of the variety of nationalities which have settled in it.

In Pennsylvania,the Moravians build a landscape,called a putz - under the Christmas tree,while in the same state the Germans are given gifts by Belsnickle,who taps them with his switch if they have misbehaved.

Early European settlers brought many traditions to the United States.Many settled in the early days in the South,these settlers would send Christmas greetings to their distant neighbors by shooting firearms and letting off fireworks.In Hawaii this practice is still in use as under the sunny skies,Santa Claus arrives by boat and Christmas dinner is eaten outdoors.

In Alaska,a star on a pole is taken from door to door,followed by Herods Men,who try to capture the star.Colonial doorways are often decorated with pineapple,a symbol of hospitality.

In Alaska,boys and girls with lanterns on poles carry a large figure of a star from door to door.They sing carols and are invited in for supper.
