今天下着小雨，但是我们一家三口还是兴致勃勃地坐着动车来到了乐山，去参观了非常有名的乐山大佛。

当我们迎着风冒着雨流着汗沿着弯弯曲曲的石梯爬到山顶时，一下子被大佛惊呆了，乐山大佛真“大”啊!

大佛的头很大，可以站下我们班所有的同学呢!它的头上长着许多像菠萝一样突出来的东西，爸爸说那是大佛的发髻。我伸出胳膊，大佛的一个发髻比我的胳膊粗多了!它的耳朵真是招风耳啊，听说有七米长!我跑到一边去看大佛的脸，大佛的脸大大的胖胖的圆圆的，脸上带着微笑;它的眼睛又大又圆，爸爸说它的眼睛有三米多长，眉毛有近六米长!只是半睁半闭的，看向下面的江水和城市。它的鼻子凸出来，大得像一间悬空的小屋;它的嘴微闭着，有近四米长!

为了能够看到大佛的整个身体，我们从山顶沿着又高又陡的台阶往下走。当我们来到大佛的脚下，抬头一望，哇，整个大佛有十多层楼那么高，还有烟雾罩着它的身体呢!大佛是坐着的，双手放在膝盖上，显得安静平和。它的双手有篮球场那么大，妈妈说它的一根手指就有十米长。它的双脚很宽大，一个脚趾头上都可以坐十多个人!妈妈说，这是世界上最大的石刻佛像，“山是一尊佛，佛是一座山”。

据说乐山大佛是弥勒佛，他在这里使得乐山这个地方风调雨顺，人们都能过上幸福安宁的生活。

乐山大佛是我见过的最大的佛像，这么大的佛像，需要多少个工匠才能雕刻出来呀?中国古代的这些工匠真是太厉害了。

The firecracker is a unique product in China. In ancient China, the sound of burning bamboo tubes was used to scare away wild animals and evil spirits. With the invention of the gunpowder, “firecracker” is also called “鞭炮biānpào” (“炮” in Chinese means gun) and used to foster a joyful atmosphere. The first thing every Chinese household does is to set off firecrackers and fireworks, which are meant to bid farewell to the old year and usher in the new. In the past few years, such an activity was completely or partially forbidden in big cities including Beijing due to fire and personal casualty caused by burning firecrackers. However, some Chinese thought that a Spring Festival without firecrackers was not lively enough and they burned firecrackers by stealth. So in recent years, the ban was canceled again. This shows that burning firecrackers is a very important activity during the Spring Festival.

扬州是一座历史名城。下面是小编整理分享给大家的介绍扬州的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读鉴赏。希望大家喜欢！

Yangzhou (simplified Chinese: 扬州) is a prefecture-level city in central Jiangsu Province, Peoples Republic of China. Sitting on the northern bank of the Yangtze River, it borders the provincial capital of Nanjing to the southwest, Huaian to the north, Yancheng to the northeast, Taizhou to the east, and Zhenjiang across the river to the south. Historically it is one of the wealthiest of Chinas cities, known at various periods for its great merchant families, poets, painters, and scholars.

Geography and climate

Rivers: the Yangtze River, Jinghang Canal, Baoshe River, Datong River, Beichengzi River, Tongyang Canal, Xintongyang Canal, Baima Lake, Baoying Lake, Gaoyou Lake, Shaobo Lake.

Local landscape: Slender west lake, Ge garden, He garden, Da ming temple, Phoenix island, etc. Subtropical monsoon climate with humid changeable wind; longer winters for about 4 months, summers 3 months and shorter springs and autumns, 2 months respectively; frost-free period of 222 days and annual average sunshine of 2177 hours. Average temperature: 15 °C annually; the hottest in July of 27.6 °C and the coldest in January of 1.7 °C; maximum temperature of 39.8 °C and minimum 19 °C

The annual average precipitation is 1,030 mm, and about 45 percent of rainfall is concentrated in the summer. The rainy season known as "plum rain season" usually lasts from mid-June to late July. During this season, the plums are ripening, hence the name plum rain.

Cuisine

Yangzhou dishes may be one of the reasons why the people of Yangzhou are so infatuated with their city. They have an appealing color, aroma, taste and appearance. The original color of each ingredient is preserved after cooking, and no oily sauce is added, so as to retain the fresh savor of the food.

In Yangzhou all dishes, whether cheap or expensive, are elaborate. Cooks will not scrimp on their work, even with Zhugansi (stewed sliced dry bean curd), a popular dish that costs only a few yuan. Dry bean curd is made by each restaurant that serves it, so the flavor is guaranteed. The cook slices the 1-cm-thick curd into 30 shreds, each one paper-thin but none broken, and then stews them for hours with chopped bamboo shoots and shelled shrimps in chicken soup. In this way the dry bean curd shreds can soak up the flavor of the other ingredients, and the soup is clear but savory. It is not only Yangzhou cooks but also the ordinary people who are conscientious about cooking.

Good afternoon,honorable judges. I am glade to be here for this interview. First let me introduce myself to you. My name is **, 23. I come from zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province. I will graduate from the Central South University in july this year.

After four years’ extensive training in science and engineering with a focus on microbiology and biotechnology in the last one and a half years, I am fully absorbed in biology and their various novel applications. Driven by my interest and capacity in these areas, I would expect myself to be a senior professional in 10-15 years time, working as either a faculty member in a university or a researcher in some institute.

Having realized that such a goal would require much more knowledge than what I have acquired, I am determined to pursue graduate study in a best university. The origination of my interest dates back to my senior high school year when I attended an intensive but interesting course given by the biological teacher on general biology. My interest was reinforced when I had the opportunity to participate in some research projects in the Central South University. In May, 2003, I began working with prof.Zhou to do research on microbial treatment processes for the nitrogen removal in wastewater. I participated in the separation method of nitrifier and denitrifier (chemolithoautotrophic bacteria, very small colony, grows slow, have the same color with the culture medium) and do some research on their Physiology characteristics.

I have been consciously strengthening my research ability by teaching myself advanced knowledge including microbial physiology, microbial statistics. Through these projects, I have not only learned many practical techniques but also acquired a solid theoretical background and a broad scope in scientific research in my fields of interest. Despite the intensive curriculum, I have always kept an eye on a broader world outside.

As a member of the CSU-Students Union, I’ve improved my communication and cooperation skills through some meaningful activities. It has become clear to me that a good academic environment can play a very important role in my pursuit of excellence. I believe pursuing a Master’s degree at CSU, would be a most reasonable extension of my academic pursuit and a major step forward toward my career goal.

My name is XXX, i wish to be your member one day, your english club is fomous for your amazing english. and i know your club also help people to learn english. do you hear the saying: never too old to learn? it means a person should learn knowlege till he /she is old . i have a warm heart to learn english since i touch it . please , let me be one of helpful members in your club. i am happy to hear from you.

Everyone has hobbies. Hobbies are the important things in our life. I also have hobbies. Next,let me tell you.

Exercise is my one hobby. I love sport. The more exercise I do,The more healthier I have. After I have dinner,I often go for a walk with my sister on the streets,and when class is over,I usually play badminton with my friends. Sometimes I play ping-pong,too. So I think I live in a wonderful life.

Reading is my the other hobby. In weekends,I often read some novels. Such as《Jane Love》. 《Zhao Hua Xi She》and so on. That can make me improve my Chinese.

This is my hobbies. If you have hobbies,you can exchange with me.

Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that’s only superficial. Besides, in decent restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you’re in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.

The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be served (unless in Guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all.

Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests. In formal dinners, there are always "public" chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate.

People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed. When you have had enough, just say so. Or you will always overeat!

Once known as Changan, Xian is the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of Shaanxi Province, with its jurisdiction over five counties including Changan County. Located in the middle of the Central Plains of the Yellow River Basin, Xian stands between Qinling Mountain to the north and the Weihe River to the south. It is an important birthplace of the Chinese nationality as well as one of the places of human origin and prehistoric cultural centers in Asia. Its long history and rich cultural heritage has covered the old city with a mysterious veil.

As a world-famous ancient capital, Xian has been designated as the capital of 13 ancient Chinese dynasties such as the Western Zhou, Qin, Xihan, Xinmang, Eastern Han, Western Jin, Former Zhao, pre-Qin, post-Qin, Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties. Many important historical events took place here, such as the Red Eyebrow Peasant Rebellion at the end of the Western Han Dynasty (206BC-8AD), the Huangchao Peasant Rebellion at the end of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and Li Zicheng Peasant Rebellion at the end of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) all once established temporary political powers in Xian. it also witnessed the famous Xian Incident in modern history. All these have left with Xian a lot of cultural relics. In Xian there are altogether 314 key cultural relics sites under protection, of which 84 belong to state or provincial level. Unearthed cultural relics reach 120,000, many of which are rare treasures in the world,

including the Stele Forest, the two Wild Goose Pagodas, the Clock Tower, the remains of Banpo Village and the city wall of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, there are ancient sites such as Han City, Tang City, Efang Palace, Weiyang Palace and Daming Palace, as well as the Huaqing Pond and pits of Qin Emperor Shihuangs Terra-Cotta Soldiers and Horses. Xian is a great place of revolution, and the Site of the Office of the Eighth Route Army can clearly demonstrate this. Located in Xian are also a number of universities and research institutions, including Xian Jiaotong University, Northwest University and Northwest Polytechnical University.

Xian is the biggest processing industrial base and the largest trade center in the central and western part of North China, as well as the starting point of the Silk Road. The Silk Road has become a wide road connecting China and other countries. It is a road to civilization, friendship, trade and cultural tourism.

Xian (Chinese:西安), is the capital of the Shanxi province in the Peoples Republic of China . As one of the oldest cities in Chinese history, Xian is one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China because it has been the capital of some of the most important dynasties in Chinese history,including the Zhou, Qin, Han, the Sui, and Tang dynasties. Xian is the eastern end of the Silk Road . The city has more than 3,100 years of history, and was known as Changan (traditional Chinese: 长安).

Long holidays are usual during Spring Festival, Labor Holiday (1-7 May), and National Holiday (1-7 October). The number of travellers is often greater during Summer (May-August), although the most pleasant season for visiting Xian is Autumn.

My Mother My Mother isa kind and gentle woman. She is always very gentle. She takes good care of her children and keeps them all at school. I have one brother and two sistets. So she gets four children in all. She gives us every comfort. We all love her and she loves us also. My mother has too much to do in bringing us up. As our family is too poor to keep a servant, my mother has always to do very much work. She gets up very early and sleeps very late every day. She works hard, yet without complaining. She is also a thrifty, and industrious woman. She saves every cent that she can and keeps everything in order. As she has been busy eversince she was young, she looks older than she really is. Her face is wrinkled, her hair becomes silver white, but she works as hard as ever. Often she says to us, "work while you work, play while you play. If you do not work, you will become lazy and of no use to society." What piece of good advice this is! We must worth it well and always keep it in our mind.

Yangzhou (Yángzhōu [扬州]), known as a city of gardens and alleys, is a destination that makes a trip to China unforgettable. Little known to most foreign travelers, Yangzhou is a proud retainer of ancient Chinese architecture, art, culture, traditional gardens and parks, cuisine, leisure, and commerce in a beautiful mixture of modernity with its rich 2,500 year history. The demolition sledgehammer has not made much headway here, leaving an increasingly harder to find view into the past. All in all, Yangzhou is the ideal place to experience unique aspects of Chinese culture, and is a relaxing break from other overly developed and commercialized urban centers in the region.
