篇5:北京之旅——登八达岭长城_记一次旅游的作文1000字

全文共 1035 字

+ 加入清单

哇噻!今天又是一个美丽的日子,一大早,妈妈就宣布——今天我们登长城

吃过早饭后,我们坐上公交车走啊走啊,走得在高速路上我都看到距呼和浩特还有400多公里的路标了居然还没到长城,又走了好一阵,车子终于嘎吱一声停了下来——八达岭长城到了。

站在长城的脚下,我抬头望去,天呢!长城真比巨龙还巨龙呢!我使劲儿伸长脖子,用力眺望,也没能望到它的头和尾在哪儿,我想:就算我拿天文望远镜也不一定能望到它的尽头吧!我激动地看着想着走着,不知不觉已经登上了长城。

沿着城墙,我一步步地往前上走,一步步的向上登,脑子里的疑问也在随着脚步往上升,妈妈!我终于忍不住问道:这城墙上开着的往下斜的小洞是干嘛用的呀?还有这城墙为什么一凹一凸而不砌成齐刷刷的呢?是为了节省用料吗?呵呵妈妈笑道:怎么会是为了节约用料呢?长城是为了防御敌人入侵而修建的,长城上的所以设施都是为了更好地打击敌人,这城墙上凹进去的部分打仗时说不定可以做炮台呢!那些小洞妈妈的话还没说完,我忽然灵机一动,激动地说道:噢,那些小洞大概是躲在那儿射箭用的吧!说着,我还做了个拉弓射箭的姿势,妈妈,您看,这样既可以保证自己不受伤,又能狠狠地射击敌人,我说得没错吧?我的意地说道。嗯,大概是吧!也或许还有别的用途

我和妈妈一边走一边聊,一会儿的工夫,我们就来到了第一个烽火台。

哇!这里风好大呀!据说烽火台主要是用于白天点烟或夜间点火来传递军情的,有了这么大的风,我想当年点烟时这里一定是浓烟滚滚,点火时也一定是火光冲天,军情传递的那是相当的及时吧!因为风大,虽然现在正值炎热的夏天,可来到这儿却好像进了冰窖一样,浑身凉飕飕的!站在烽火台的窗口,向远处望去,在延绵起伏的山上,巨龙仿佛走进了森林一般,到处都是生机勃勃的绿色。我和老妈坐在烽火台的石阶上歇了一会儿就继续往上登了。

穿过一段斜坡,又登上一大截几乎陡成了90度的台阶,再爬上一段必须要抓着扶手才能走上的陡坡,我们终于来到了第二个烽火台第三个烽火台可越走我这心里越纳闷,我们空手登长城都这么费劲,这长城是咋修的呀?当时又没有吊车、挖掘机、推土机古人居然修筑了令全世界瞩目的万里长城,想到这儿,我不得不为古人的聪明智慧和那种执着的精神而赞叹!

我一路向上登着、一路四下里望着、一路兴奋着,好像没多大工夫(妈妈说都中午了),我们就走到了终点——竖着游客止步牌的地方。

人们都说:不到长非好汉!嘻嘻嘻今天,我登了一天的长城,应该早就算好汉了吧!走了一天,虽然有点累,但成了好汉的我却很开心很开心。

Hello everyone!

Im a marketing professional from * * * University, and Id like to introduce myself. I like reading books and reading newspapers, because it can enrich my knowledge. I like running, because it can sharpen my will. What kind of person am I? I am a lively, cheerful, enthusiastic, persistent and strong willed person. Since today is the competition for the position of marketing manager, I want to talk about their understanding of marketing. Marketing is not the same as salesmanship, but salesmanship is an important part of marketing. If you want to do a good job in marketing, you must do your best to sell yourself. It is difficult for a stranger to trust himself, but only if the customer believes that he can, will he believe his product, and then he will better push his product into the market. I want “ be a man, do a job, do business, &rdquo. Thats what it means!

I think as a marketing manager, besides should have some marketing knowledge, but also should have good communication and coordination ability, can hard-working, good team spirit, pay attention to occupation moral. As a squad leader, I organized all kinds of activities in the class for three years. Through the organization of these activities, improve their ability to organize and coordinate, and strengthen the sense of teamwork. At the same time, I also fully realize that the individuals ability is limited after all, only through teamwork, brainstorming, and learn from each other, can we better complete the work. If this time I was fortunate to marketing manager, I want to build a platform for, yet the rigorous work in a relaxed atmosphere and their colleagues, we can cooperate with each other, with good team spirit.

At the same time, I think marketing is also a kind of service. Since it is a kind of service, we should make everyone satisfied and do it with enthusiasm and sincerity. Passion, the indispensable element in our work, is the motivation that pushes us to innovate and devote ourselves to work. With passion and a sense of self - challenge, I believe I can do the job. I hope that through my personal self introduction, I can give you an understanding of my efforts and sincerity. Thank you

As an ancient Chinese saying goes, “He who travels far knows much”. In my opinion, modern life is impossible without traveling. For me, there are two kinds of traveling. On the one hand, traveling on foot brings me many benefits. It can make me enjoy my holidays and many different life styles; it can broaden my vision, let me learn more about other countries or cultures. On the other hand, reading is another kind of traveling. It can bring me to the places where I can not go for the time being. Books are the best friends of human being. Books make my eyes and imagination enjoy the beautiful scenes through writhers’ wonderful description.

I have been to Beijing, Nanjing, Shandong, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other places. At the same time,I have been reading many books of different world-famous writers. The places I’ve been to and the places I only travel on books both impress a lot on me.

篇20:介绍清明节英语作文

全文共 2135 字

The qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in China, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases. It is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. But the qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

The qingming Festival sees a combination of sadness and happiness.

This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diseased. Also, they will not cook on this day and only cold food is served.

The Hanshi (Cold Food) Festival was usually one day before the qingming Festival. As our ancestors often extended the day to the qingming, they were later combined.

On each qingming Festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. Traffic on the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. The customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.

In contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere.

People love to fly kites during the qingming Festival. Kite flying is actually not limited to the qingming Festival. Its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not during the day, but also at night. A string of little lanterns tied onto the kite or the thread look like shining stars, and therefore, are called "gods lanterns."

The qingming Festival is also a time to plant trees, for the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. In the past, the qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979, "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12 according to the Gregorian calendar.
