Xiamen, ah, you are really a beautiful place!

Xiamen is an island city with a rich and dramatic history, replete with pirates, rebel leaders, and European merchants. Now linked to mainland Fujian by a causeway, Xiamen retains a strong international flavor. Known in the West as Amoy, Xiamen has a long history as a port city, and later became a center of British trade in the 19th century. Their foreign settlements, later taken over by Japanese invaders at the start of World War II, were established on the nearby small Gulangyu Island. Many of the old treaty-port and colonial buildings in Western styles survive. Xiamen was declared one of China’s first Special Economic Zones in the early 1980’s, taking advantage of the city’s heritage as a trading center and the proximity to Taiwan. Today Xiamen is one of China’s most attractive and best-maintained resort cities.

Xiamen was founded in 1394 at the beginning of the Ming dynasty as a center of defense against coastal pirates. Its prosperity was due to its deepwater sheltered harbor, that supplanted nearby Quanzhou, the port that had been the center of the maritime trade with the Indies.

In the mid-17th century, Xiamen and Gulangyu Island became a stronghold of Zheng Chenggong, known in the West as Koxinga, a Ming loyalist who held out against the Manchu invaders until being driven to Taiwan. Born in Japan to a Chinese pirate father and a Japanese mother, Zheng became allied with holdout Ming princes in the south who hoped for a restoration. He built up a resistance force of some 7,000 junks and a mixed force of three-quarters of a million troops and pirates. In 1661 he drove the Dutch from Taiwan and set up another base there, before his death in 1662.

After the Opium Wars Xiamen became one of the first treaty ports to be opened to foreign trade and settlement following the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842. Gulangyu Island was transformed into an international settlement, where many Victorian and Neoclassical style buildings still survive. The city’s prosperity was due both to trade and to wealth sent back by Xiamen’s substantial emigrant community of overseas Chinese.

Prosperity returned to Xiamen in the early 1980’s when Xiamen was designated one of

the four Special Economic Zones (SEZs).

I like traveling on foot With my brother in holidays.

At the very beginning, I felt very tired. I got out of breath so easily.Then my brother started to tell me some interesting stories.We walked and walked while he didnt stop telling stories. We walked a long way without knowing.

Then my brother asked me, "Are you still feeling tired?" The feelings of tiredness were already out of my mind.

我喜欢在假期跟哥哥一起徒步旅行。刚开始的时候，我还真有点吃不消，没走多远就累得上气不接下气。

于是哥哥就给我讲动听的故事。他一边讲我们一边走，不知不觉走了很远。哥哥问我：“你还累吗?”呵呵，我早把“累”这回事忘到九霄云外去了。

The Spring Festival

The Spring Festival，Chinese New Year，is the most important festival for all of us。 All family members get together on New YearEve to have a big meal。At the same time，everyone celebrates to each other。At about 12 oclock，some parents and children light crackers。The whole sky is lighted brightly。 We may watch the fireworks excitedly。How busy it is！

On the first early moring of one year，many senior citizen get up early and they stick the reversed Fu or hang some couplets on the front door。 Some houses windows are sticked on red paper cutlings。

The Chinese New Year lasts fifteen days。 So during the fifteen days，we always visit our relatives from door to door。 At that time，children are the happiest because they can get many red packets form their parents，grandparents，uncles，aunts and so on。 The last day of the Chinese New Year is another festival。 It names the Lantern Festival。

So the Chinese New Year comes to the end。

Will Christmas Replace the Spring Festival？

Christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in China。 Christmas cards become popular with students。 People hold Christmas parties and exchange Christmas girts。 A lot or TV and radio programs about Christmas are on。 Meanwhile the Spring Festival is less appealing to youngsters。 Thus some people wonder whether Christmas will replace the Spring Festival。

This worry is fairly unnecessary。 Why ？One reason lies that Christmas only affects Christians，college students and joint—ventureworkers。 Another reason is that Christmas is mostly celebrated in cities。 Few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exoticfestival。 By contrast，the Spring Festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family。

I think，it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the West，a lot of Western holidays have been gradually introduced into China。 For us Chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals。 For centuries Chinese have observed this traditional holiday to welcome the beginning of a new year。 And we will treasure the Spring Festival forever。

My plan of next year

A new year ，a new start，when I stand on the edge of a new year，I cant help thinking about my plan of next year。

Just as the old saying：“Well began is the half of the success。”So I decide that I should be at work while the others are still relaxing ，and then ，at the beginning ，Im quicker than the others and of course I will get better result than the others。

But ，what I really decide to do is that I must make good of anytime I can spare though it seems impossible。 While，I will do my best to live up with what I have planned，and the result will prove it。

长滩岛在菲律宾，是一个美丽的海岛，那里风景非常优美，有长长的白沙滩，海水很清并且不同时间看有不同的颜色变化，美极了!

第一天，我们坐长滩岛的特色船——螃蟹船出海钓鱼和浮潜。我把鱼食小虾挂在鱼钩上，然后把绳慢慢放下去，过了一会儿感觉有轻微动的感觉以为有鱼上钩，原来是小鱼把鱼食吃完了但没有上钩。 旁边许多人都钓到鱼了，我很着急。妈妈说，“钓鱼不要心急要慢慢的等鱼上钩。” 过了好一会儿，旁边同行的吕叔叔钓到了一条，船家说是小丑鱼，虽然我没有钓到但也很高兴。浮潜也很好玩，海底世界很漂亮，有许多的小鱼在身边游来游去，我仿佛也象小鱼一样了。

第二天一早，我们到海边玩风帆，风帆有点象螃蟹船，不过坐的地方不一样，风帆是坐在两边的网上，很自由自在的感觉。还有风帆是全部够风力的。 到了海中央几个大浪打过来，把我们的衣服弄得湿透了，妈妈还大叫起来。这里的海水很蓝，天空也很蓝，有几朵白云飘过，看远处海与天就象连起来一样，海天一色就是这样的吧。到了转弯的时候，控制船帆的人把帆落了又很熟悉的装回去，这样船就转了弯，很神奇。妈妈很喜欢坐风帆，说还要再玩一次。

Gulangyu is an island separated from Xiamen city proper. Its like a garden on the water. The shade of the trees covers nearly the whole island. Cars, buses, bikes are not allowed to drive there. Everyone should walk. This makes the place very quiet so that music played by the violin or the piano can be heard here and there. It is the famous "Home of Music".

The Sunshine Rock is the highest place on the island, so it has become the symbol of Gulangyu. Standing at the top of the Sunshine Rock, one can see the landscape of the whole Xiamen ands other small islands. The sky and the sea meet on the horizon. Its said that people can see clearly the Jinmen Island through telescope when the sun is shining. There are gentle waves on the sea and lots of people are swimming.At the foot of the Sunshine Rock is Shuzhang Garden with its picturesque scenery. The Forty-four Bridge spans over the water like a white dragon. What a beautiful picture!

１．I was born and grow up in the south where is not too cold in winter and I had never had a chance to see, snow. Happily, I made a trip Harbin this winter and I finally enjoy the snowing.

One of my aunt lives in Harbin and she invited me to visit her. I stayed at her home for almost ten days. It snowed two times when I was there. One day, the weather report said that there would be a snow in the next day. Since then, I expected it so much. Next morning, when I woke up and looked out the window, I saw the outside become white. It was so beautiful. I went out immediately after I had my breakfast. The snow was on everywhere, the street, the car, the tree and the roof. I was excited to walk on the snow, leaving my footprints. Besides, I also went to see the ice engraving. They were all made by ice and were made into various figures, such as castles, cartoons, animals and so on. When the colorful lights turned on at night, it was another amazing image. It seemed in the fairy tale.

How wonderful the visit to Harbin was!

我在南方出生、成长，这里的冬天并不算太冷，所以我一直没有见过下雪。值得高兴的是，这个冬天我去哈尔滨旅游，终于欣赏到了雪景。

我的一个阿姨住在哈尔滨，她邀请我去玩，我在她的家里住了差不多十天，期间下了两次雪。有一天，天气预报说第二天会下雪，我十分期待。第二天早晨，当我醒来看向窗外时，外面全部变成了白色，非常漂亮。早餐过后，我迫不及待地出门去。外面到处都是雪，街道上、汽车上、树上和屋顶上都铺满了雪。我兴奋得踩在雪地上，留下一串串脚印。另外，我还去看了冰雕，它们全都是用冰做成的，被刻成了各种形象，有城堡、卡通人物和动物等等。晚上，当亮起彩灯时，又是另外一番美景，像在童话故事里一样。

这真是一次精彩的哈尔滨之行！

２．Last year, I traveled to Beijing by train. It was very fast. I like travel by train, because I like the feeling in the train. Besides, I can enjoy the scenery on the way.

However, after the journey last week, I dont want to travel by train anymore, because it is too tired to have fun. It took me sixteen hours on the train. I was very tired and I had to spend a day to have a good rest. And it was boring on the train. Therefore, I think it should not travel by train if its far.

去年我坐火车到北京旅游。火车速度很快。我喜欢坐火车去旅行，因为我喜欢在火车上的感觉。除此之外，我还可以享受沿途的风景。但是，上个星期的旅程过后我就再也不想坐火车了，因为我累得不能好好玩。我在 火车上度过了十六小时。我觉得很累，不得不花一天时间休息。而且火车上很无聊。所以，我觉得路途遥远的话就不要坐火车旅行。

３．Nowadays, people prefer to travel by air. This is

because air travel has some advantages. First of all,

airplane, the miracle created by man, is the fastest means of transport. It takes the least time for one to travel by air from one place to another. Besides, traveling by air is

convenient and comfortable. Friendly air hostesses are affectionate and considerate. They look after passengers all the way to their destinations. In addition, on long

distance flights there are films and music for people to entertain themselves.

As a popular saying goes, "Everything has two sides." The same is true of air travel. It has some disadvantages, too. For one thing, air travel is expensive. The average

Chinese are not rich enough to afford expensive air fares. So they prefer to take trains, which save a lot of money.

For another, although passengers are assured of their safety, they are still worried about it during the journey because flying always involves more or less risk.

As for I am concerned, the advantages mentioned

above exceed the disadvantages. If I were given choice between traveling by air and by train, I would certainly prefer the former, especially the long distance journey,

because time is the most important thing I have to take into consideration whatever I do.

现在，人们喜欢坐飞机去旅游。这是因为坐飞机旅游有一些优点。首先，飞机是人类发明的奇迹，是最快的交通方式。坐飞机从一个地方到另一个地方花的时间最少。此外，坐飞机旅游方便舒适。友好的空姐深情体贴。她们一路上都照顾乘客。另外，长途飞行有电影和音乐给人们自娱自乐。

正如一句流行的话说的：“任何事物都有两面性。”航空

旅游也一样，它也有一些缺点。一方面，航空旅游费用昂贵。一般的中国人都不是很富裕，付不起昂贵的航空费用。所以他们宁愿坐火车，这样能节省很多钱。另一方面，尽管乘客们有安全保障，他们在旅途中还是会担心，因为飞行或多或少总包括一些风险。

在我看来，上述优点多于缺点。如果让我在火车和飞机之间选择,我宁愿选择前者，特别是长途旅行，因为不管我做什么，时间是我应该考虑的最重要的东西。

One day, my mother and I said goodbye and went on a trip. I walked, walked and walked far and far. I went to a place with a waterfall. It was so beautiful there! I was fascinated by the scenery there, where the picturesque scenery, luxuriant trees, is really beautiful. I stayed here quietly for a day.

I walked along again and came to a wide and wide river. I saw the clear water in the river. In the end, there were small fish, shrimps, crabs, starfish, seaweed and luminous fish...... I spent the night here again.

In the morning, I walked on, walked and walked, go to a beautiful place than anywhere in the world, there are many small animal many, really like a big zoo, I saw there are birds, deer, geese, squirrels, rabbits and monkeys fox, lions and tigers, we play together was really happy ah!

The second day, I started walking, walking about 10 kilometers, to the playground, there are a lot of good play, a Ferris wheel, swing, seesaw, horizontal bar, parallel bars, slide, pony, jumping bed, bumper cars, water guns, water ring and boat...... I played there for a long time and said, "its fun. Its fun."!"

I set off for home, and when I got home, I told my mother about it, but my mother smiled.

This is the dream in my heart! I hope there will be flowers, grass, small animals for company in our home, an amusement park public square for us to rest and play, and if my dreams can come true, that would be great!

Making a trip to ShangHai on May 18 was an experience which I will never forget.

I arrived in ShangHai at about 2 oclock,and immediately took a No.5 bus to the sea area.The beautiful blue sea was so large that I couldnt see the other side of it.After getting off the bus,I went straight to the shore.Taking off my shoes,I put my feet into the water.The water was cool,and walking in the water was such a great joy that I didnt want to stop.Then I collected shells.When it got dark,I sat on the shore,watching the sea.The night scene was simply marvelous!

Finally I had to go back.It was an unforgettable day in my life.

A few years ago, a summer vacation, I came to the tourist resort, Hainan, with the tour group.

We sat in the car and got upset and arrived for four or five hours. The car stops, my eyes bright, a big piece of coconut, coconut trees, some young girls in: "you drink coconut, fresh and large coconut!" Hear the clear voice, you do not want to buy. The girls skilfully opened a small mouth at the top of the coconut and handed over a straw. It can suck a mouthful of it, with a natural fragrance juice down your throat gently slide, urinary refreshing, very comfortable.

Near the afternoon, we came to the statue hall, which stood a crowd of coconut dolls, look different, true to life, very cute. Let you wonder if the engraved man has magic. On the other side of the statue hall, there are twelve zodiac signs of wood carving. My hands clenched, and his zodiac: tiger made a gesture of tiger Wu Song, aunt quickly pressed the shutter, according to my view. Unwittingly, the sky was already dark, and I left the statue hall.

On the morning of the second day, we came to the ends of the earth in the yacht. The sea breeze gently stroked my face, my hands gently crossed the green water, making you feel in heaven. In the yacht, I saw four big words on a big stone, "the ends of the earth". Suddenly, a big wave came and splashed snow-white waves. The spray reflected sunlight in the sunlight. It was like a fairy who was born from this colorful jade. The tide slowly retreat, the sea suddenly appeared a spectacle - diversiform shells appeared in the golden beach, dazzle you, have some sparkling green, little and dainty, in short, are very beautiful.

It was time to go home, I am unable to part from Hainan. Oh! Beautiful Hainan Island.

I used to think Beijing must be a grand and special city, given that it was the capital of China, and lots of events I have heard took place there. But soon after I got off the plane, I knew all was but my illusion. If I had to use one wordto describe it, nothing but “grey” will fulfil the task. As far as your eyes could see, all was covered in dust and haunted by air pollution.

Though it was the first time I had been to the North part of China, I was still surprised by the sharp contrast between the South and North. It wasnt hearsay.

我曾经认为北京必须大,特殊的城市,因为它是中国的首都,我听过很多事件发生。但很快我下了飞机后,我知道一切,但我的错觉。如果要我用一个词来描述它,除了“灰色”将完成任务。你的眼睛可以看到,一切都覆盖着灰尘和被空气污染。

尽管这是我第一次被北中国的一部分,我还惊讶南部和北部之间的鲜明对比。这不是道听途说。

Last summer holiday, I visited to Xiamen with my parentsby plane. My

English teacher once told us that Xiamen is a beautiful city that worth of

visiting. We stayed there for four days. We lived in a small fishing village. On

the first day, we visited to Xiamen University and Nanputuo Temple. Xiamen

University is consideredas the most beautiful and romantic campus in China.

Indeed, its fantastic and its buildings are distinctive. On the second days, we

enjoyed the scenery of Jimei District. On the third day, We visited to Gulangyu.

Its amazing and I like it very much. There are many small specific stores.

However, the huge tourist visitors make the small island crowed. Anyway, it was

a pleasant trip.

the best way of traveling

people travel by plane, by train, by ship, by bus. to me, the best way of traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.

on a summer vacation i travel to refresh myself and to see the countryside. when i use my feet and walk on a grass covered path or among the hills i feel detached from the noise of the city and closer to the nature. and when i travel on foot i get more freedom. i can plan my own schedule. i can choose my own route. i can stop where i like. and i can see things and people that i might miss if i travel on a train or on a bus.

when faster and more convenient ways for travel are becoming available, i still favor using my own feet. i get much pleasure from it.
