It was a happy trip.

The USA is the third most popular destination in the world, with over 45 million people travelling to the country every year. They’ve got good reason, too – few other places offer such a wide variety of activities, geographical diversity and rich, if brief, history.

America’s major cities buzz with energy and excitement, from cosmopolitan New York City, historic Boston, glamorous Los Angeles and gritty Chicago to extrovert Las Vegas and sultry New Orleans.

Venture out of the urban centres and you’ll find backwater gems full of small-town charm, tucked between miles and miles of open highway and spectacular scenery.

The landscape changes with dizzying speed, from the vast deserts of Nevada to soaring s-topped mountains, lush forests and white-sand beaches.

America is one of the easiest places to travel, whatever your plans. With fantastic transport services and a multitude of resources for tourists, visitors are never far away from high quality and reasonably priced accommodation, or somewhere decent to grab a bite.

How is everythinggoing?

Dear George,

How is everything going?I’m glad to receive your letter, in which you asked about my plan for the coming summer holiday. And now I’m writing to tell you something about it.

To start with, I intend to read some books, ranging from famous Chinese literary works to original English novels. As is known, wide reading contributes to enriching our knowledge and broadening our horizons. Then what I’d like to do is (to) spend more time accompanying my parents by chatting more with them and helping do the housework, which I consider is a good way to repay what they have done for me. Additionally, doing a part-time job during the holiday is also included in my plan because through it, not only can I acquire practical skills, but also the experience will enable me to adapt to the future social life more easily.

Such is my arrangement, and what about yours? Hopefully, you can share it with me. I’m looking forward to your reply.

Based on historical documents, modern survey and statistics, as well as the result of predecessor studies, the trend and main process of forest dynamics are recognized. The forest area and forest coverage rates for each province of China from 1700 to 1949 are es- timated backward by every 50 years. Linking the result with modern National Forest Inventory data, the spatial-temporal dynamics of Chinese forest in recent 300 years (AD 1700–1998) is quantitatively analyzed. The study shows that in recent 300 years, the forest area in current territory of China has declined by 0.95×108 hm2 (or 9.2% of the coverage rate) in total, with a trend of decrease and recovery. Before the 1960s, there was a trend of accelerated de- scending. The forest area was reduced by 1.66×108 hm2 (or 17% of the coverage rate) in 260 years. While after the 1960s, there has been a rapid increase. The forest area increased by 0.7×108 hm2 (or 8% of the coverage rate) in 40 years. The study also shows that there is a significant spatial difference in the dynamics of forest. The amplitudes of increasing and de- creasing in western China are both smaller than the ones in eastern China. During the rapid declining period from 1700 to 1949, the most serious decrease appeared in the Northeast, the Southwest and the Southeast, where the coverage rate in most provinces dropped over 20%. In Heilongjiang Province, the coverage rate dropped by 50%. In Jilin Province, it dropped by 36%. In Sichuan Province and Chongqing Municipality, it dropped by 42%. In Yunnan Prov- ince, it dropped by 35%. During the recovery period 1949–1998, the western provinces, mu- nicipality and autonomous regions, including Ningxia, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Si- chuan–Chongqing, Yunnan, Tibet, Xinjiang and Qinghai, etc, the increase rates are all below 5%, while the eastern provinces, municipality and autonomous regions (except Heilongjiang, Hubei, Jiangsu–Shanghai) have achieved an increase over 5%, among which the Guang- dong–Hainan, Guangxi, Anhui, Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, and Fu- jian have an increase over 10%. 有关介绍美国的英语作文篇2

A history of long and effortless success can be a dreadful handicap,but,if properly handled,it may become a driving force.When the United States entered just such a glowing period after the end of the Second World War,it had a market eight times larger than any competitor ,giving its industries unparalleled economies of scale.Its scientists were the worlds best,its workers the most skilled.American and Americans were prosperous beyongd the dreams of the Europeans and Asians whose economeics the war had destroyed.

It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as other countries grew richer.Just as inevitably,the retreat from predominace proved painful.By the mid 1980s Americans had found themselves at a losss over their fading industrial competitiveness.Some huge American industries,such as consumer electronics,hand shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competitiong.By 1987 there was only one American television maker left,Zenith.(Now there is none :Zenith was bought by SouthKoreasLGElectronics in July.)Foreign made cars and textiles were sweeeping into the domestic market.Americas machine-tool industry was on the ropes.For a while it looked as though the makeing of semiconductors,whidh America had invented and which sat at the heart of the new computer age,was going to be the next caualty.

All of this caused a crisis of confidenc.Americans stopped taking prosperity ofr granted .They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing,and that their incomes would therefore shourtly begin to fall as well .The mind -1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes ofAmericas in dustrial decline.Thir sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competitiong from overseas.

How things have changed!I1995 the United States can look back on five years of solid growth while Japan has been struggling.Few Americans attribute this Self doubt has yielded to blind pride.American industry has changed its structure ,has gone on a diet ,has learnt to be more quik witted,according to Richard Cavanagh,executive dean of Harvards Kennedy School of Government.It makes me proud to be an American just to see how our businesses are improving theirproductivity,says Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute ,a think tank in Washington,DC,And William Sahlman of the Harvard Business School believes that people will look back on this perido as a golden age of business management in the United States.

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.

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。

The American tour is over, and a little bit of the American swim through time and space tunnel, drip in my heart, printed in my mind.

America is an independent country. As for education, in China, we are all the baby in the family, holding hands in our hands, a little hurt is not willing to let us, more reluctant to stay away from our parents arms. American parents are more relaxed about their children and let them succeed with their own efforts. I saw such a scene in the United States, a baby fell down, and the babys mother didnt have as much pain as her parents in China, but taught him how to get up. At the sorran school in Los Angeles, there are many big brothers and sisters who are doing volunteer work to get credits, and they create their own world with their own hands. Our Chinese students may be little princess princesses at home. But in the United States, our landlady has made us experience our own dishes and the joys of labor. Thats how two parents of different countries have different approaches to education kids. Perhaps, the pain is some, but only temporary, but the cowardice in the heart once formed, is permanent, cannot change. This is worth learning.

American thrift is more worth learning. In China, we may be a little wasteful, but in the United States, most of the meals are buffet. There are some Chinese students who have been watching for a while. Many students take a lot of food, but many of them are wasted, and americans eat as much as they can and never waste food. My MOM is a woman who knows her life well and doesnt live in a wealthy neighborhood, but her family has always been frugal. They have three cars, an armored car, a sports car and a car. Two of them are luxury cars, and one is a Mercedes Benz in the eighties. In China, people tend to drive luxury cars, and they usually drive old cars. They have a pool where they often hold parties, so that we have the privilege of meeting more foreigners.

On the first day to Los Angeles, Xu Mingjie very lucky and I attended a local wedding, it was a very romantic wedding, under the illuminate of lamplight, a couple looks very bright. Little girls and small, well-fitted dresses add another look to the wedding.

Christianity was the bishop of the United States, and in the soslan school, it was the propaganda of Christianity. In that, although we believe in Buddhism, we respect their Christian culture, which is the highlight of Chinese students abroad. Our family still goes to church on the weekend.

In the United States, we went to shopping malls, and the shop assistants were very enthusiastic about us, and we were in that crazy shopping, invisibility, which promoted the economic development of the United States. To think about, and why the salesman students enthusiasm for China, which is not Chinas continuous development, continuous increase in the national economy, despite this, we dont it is for the welfare of the United States?

After a week of study, we went on to the east, the White House, congress, the United Nations, Wall Street, Broadway... Let us experience another American amorous feelings.

I dont think americans are as gentlemanly as British people, but there are still places to learn, and Ive benefited a lot from this trip to America.

The Impact of the Internet on the Way People Communicate

Due to the wide use of computers and the development of Internet, more and more people like to chat on the Internet. We tend to pay more attention to electronic communication than to face-to-face contact.

As electronic communication is not limited by space, we can chat with others where there is Internet with our tools such as computers, mobile phones and pads. However, when we chat with others online, we cannot express our feelings fully. Just as the picture shows, the parents cannot touch or hug their child. We know that body language plays an important role in our

communication, but the electronic communication cannot do this. For example, when we are sad, we need more love and warmth, a real hug from our parents or friends can mean much more to us than just words through electronic communication.

Therefore, though electronic communication brings convenience to our life, I still don?t think the electronic communication can replace face-to-face contact.

旅游中的不文明行为

随着人们生活水平的逐步提高，在中秋节、国庆节等假期中，越来越多的人选择出行旅游。一些富有人文历史、风景优美的景点，成为了大众的首选。

但是随着旅游人数不断增加，旅游中的不文明行为也不断增多。游客们随意攀爬、拍照，在景点随意涂画、刻、践踏草坪、损坏植被，不讲卫生，垃圾随处丢弃。旅游中的不文明现象，正持续损害着中国游客的形象。

我认为文明旅游可以注重以下一些方面：首先，旅游者要提高自身文化素质，做到文明出行，不做一些破坏文化的行为，并且及时提醒他人的不文明行为。第二，导游、景点管理处要对旅客不文明的行为加以提醒劝阻。第三，媒体应加大曝光度，使人们逐渐意识到不文明旅行的严重性。最后政府要根据旅客的行为实施一定的惩罚措施，完善相关法律法规。我相信这些问题都会逐步解决，一个美丽的明天在等着我们。

Uncivilized behavior in Tourism

With the gradual improvement of peoples living standards, more and more people choose to travel during the holidays. Many people choose the humanities history and scenic spots to travel.

But with the increasing number of tourists, the uncivilized behavior of tourism is

increasing. Visitors free climbing, take pictures, in spots random graffiti, lettering, damage to vegetation, dont speak hygiene, waste discarded everywhere. Uncivilized phenomenon in tourism, is continuing to damage the image of Chinese tourists.

I believe that the cultural tourism can focus on the following aspects: first, tourists should improve cultural quality, do civilized travel, dont do some damage to the culture, and timely reminder of the uncivilized behavior of others. Second, the tourist guide and the scenic spot management office should discourage the uncivilized behavior of tourists. Third, the media should increase the degree of exposure, so that people gradually realized the seriousness of the

uncivilized travel. Finally, the government should implement some punitive measures according to the behavior of the passengers, improve the relevant laws and regulations. I believe that these problems will be solved step by step, and a beautiful tomorrow is waiting for us.

Dear Tom

I am very happy to receive your letter. I am fine these days but a bit busy. I am always busy with my study and there are lots of homework to do every day. I work hard and I am interested in all the subjects so I can alwasy get good grades. I often do sports for about twenty minutes after school because its good for my health and it can help me relax.

"We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas"Have you heard that song? Yup! Its Christmas time! This Christmas, I stayed with my "host family"1. It was an amazing experience to see how a typical American family would celebrate the biggest western festival of the year.

Christmas, like our Spring Festival, has a meaning in itself. Christmas Day, which is on December 25, is the birthday of Jesus Christ--the son of God. Thats why it is called Christmas. On that day, Christians would get together with their families to celebrate the birthday of Jesus. But nowadays, the religious meaning of Christmas has become less emphasized. To many families, it is just a time of family reunion and the ever-exciting present-giving.

Our school had been on winter vacation since December 11. I stayed at my friend, Stephen Stapczynskis house--his family was my "host family". Although Christmas was still more than ten days ahead, the festive spirit had already been teeming everywhere. The Christmas tree had already been set up, and on every windowsill, there were Christmas lights. On the first day I arrived at their house, Stephen and I helped Mrs. Stapczynski put decorations on the Christmas tree. The tree looked so nice with all the lights on and the beautiful ornaments dangling from its branches.

As Christmas came closer, the whole neighborhood had made preparations too. Some people would hold parties at their houses, inviting all their neighbors to come. So every night, if you went out, you would see a long line of cars parked in front of some house--a partys on!

Whats more, the Christmas decorations that some people put on their windows and in gardens were just amazing. On one night, we went out in our car for a "tour of lights". There was one street that was so famous for its lights that it got its way into the local paper. We had a hard time finding the well-hidden street, but it turned out to be worth the effort. Lights shone brightly in front of nearly every house, on trees, bushes, doors, windowseverywhere, taking different shapes, making it seem almost like daytime. Huge inflatable figures in the front gardens were waving to us: there were Santa Clauses2, of course, chuckling merrily away; and there were also other Christmas figures, like Rudolph3--the red-nosed reindeer--with his red nose gleaming ever so brightly; even Bart Simpson--a character in the famous comedy The Simpsons--had joined the jolly party, wearing a Santas hat. The street set off a lot of "ooh"s and "aah"s inside the car.4 When we left, there was a line of cars in the street, all there to see the lights.

Christmas is the time for exchanging presents. Stephen and Niko had been thinking about their Christmas lists (a list of things they wish "Santa"to give them for Christmas) for a long time. I didnt want to ask for anything, but the Stapczynskis were so kind to "force"me make one list as well (Mr. Stapczynski told me if I didnt make one he would chop off my legs). So I wrote down a couple of things that I would like to have, and gave the list to them--sorry, my mistake--to Santa.

Finally, Christmas Eve came. There was a special Christmas service at the church at 6 p.m. It was certainly a very interesting experience for me. The priest started the service reading and sang out extractions from a holy book--The Divine Liturgy. For several times, we would stand up and pray.

Sometimes, the church choir would start singing. The atmosphere was very quiet and holy. Then there was a ceremony called "The Receiving Communion". People waited in line to "receive"a spoonful of food from the priest. It was a very special Christmas tradition. The food was made from bread and wine. The bread represents the body of Jesus, and the wine represents his blood. After this ceremony, the priest had a speech. He reminded us not to forget the true meaning of Christmas, and let Jesus really live inside us--that is, to love the people around us wholeheartedly. I think that no matter if you are a Christian or not, this principle should be part of our lives. After the priest finished his speech, the part that I enjoyed most came: Christmas carols5. Christmas carols are songs that people sing at Christmas, such as "Jingle Bells", "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", "Silent Night"and so on. Some were very merry, others sounded quite holy, but all of them were beautiful. I closed my eyes, and let all the peacefulness and happiness that were in the songs flow through me. What a feeling it was!

We went to sleep earlier that day for we had to get up early on Christmas Day to open our presents. Sure enough, when I was still half-way during a sweet dream, Stephen burst into my room and told me to get up and open presents. There were a huge pile of presents under the Christmas tree, and there was such a mysterious mist shrouding them that made me eager to see what they all were. So one by one, we went through all the presents. Mr. and Mrs. Stapczynski had bought me everything I had written on my Christmas list--and a lot more! I got music CDs, film DVDs, clothes, books I was very happy, and I didnt know how to express my appreciation for what they had done for me.

Stephen and Niko had gotten a lot of presents too, and they had already been trying out their new games!

In the afternoon, we went to Mrs. Stapczynskis brother, Uncle Stans house. They had prepared a marvelous meal for us. A lot of their friends and relatives also came. I saw Stephen and Nikos grandparents, Yiayia and Papou (words of grandma and grandpa in Greek--Mrs. Stapczynskis parents came from Greece, so they like the boys using Greek words to call them). They were very kind to me, and treated me just like one of their family members. We had a very luxurious meal, consisting of turkey, beef, pork, and all sorts of other food.

After the meal, when all the stomachs were full and everyone was feeling drowsy6 from all the food, we just sat around the table and chatted, just like what we Chinese people do at the Spring Festival. After all, Christmas, like the Spring Festival, is a time for us to get away from our busy lives, a time for family gathering, and a time to have some fun.

I went to the zoo with my friends last Sunday.It was hot and sunny that day.It took us about two hours to get there by bus.There were thousands of people in the zoo.We saw lots of animals,such as,pandas,kangaroos,polar bears,gifaffes,elephants,tigers,wolves,snakes and so on.We also saw the elephant show.The elephants were so clever that they could do lots of things like us.At noon we had a picnic in the zoo.And then we thew the rubbish into the dustbin.We didnt go home until 5:00 in the afternoon.Although we were tired,we felt happy.

上周日我和朋友们去了动物园.那天天气很热、晴朗.我们乘公交大约两个小时才到那.动物园里有成千上万的人.我们看见了许多动物.如：熊猫、袋鼠、北极熊、长颈鹿、大象、老虎、狼、蛇等等.我们也看了大象表演.大象是如此聪明的动物,他们能象我们人类一样做动作.中午我们野餐并把垃圾扔到了垃圾箱.我们直到10点才回家.尽管我们很累,我们去非常高兴.

27th, September of every year is World Tourism Day.

Of course, it is to advocate people to travel often.

Nowadays, as people’s living standard improve, the number and frequency of people to travel is also increasing. Why? I think it may because of the advantage of travel. First of all, travel can make people relaxed. In today’s competitive society, everyone is under great stress.

They may be crazy if they are in that situation in the long term. Going travel, leaving all the troubles behind for a period of time, people will have a good rest and then fight again. Secondly, travel can broaden people’s vision.

People can learn more through what they see and hear.

This knowledge is good for them. Last but not least, travel can enlarge people’s social circle, because they can make new friends on the way of their trip. In conclusion, travel has so many advantages. It is no wonder that there is a World Tourism Day to encourage everyone to go travel.

每年的月二十七是世界旅游日。当然，这是为了提倡人们多旅游而设的。

如今，随着人们生活水平的提高，去旅游的人数和频率都随之增加了。为什么会这样呢？我觉得可能是因为旅游所拥有的优势。首先，旅游可以使人放松。

在当今竞争激烈的社会，每个人都承受着巨大的压力。长期处于这种状态下，他们可能会疯了。

去旅行，把所有的烦恼暂抛脑后，人们将会得到良好的休息，然后再奋斗。

There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine‘s Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries.

Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer‘s daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it From Your Valentine. Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine.

On September 11th, thousands of people died when terrorists hijacked airplanes that struck buildings in Washington D.C. and New York City. Many people now say they are worried about flying on a plane. Travel experts say almost 6 percent fewer people will make long trips this Thanksgiving compared with last year. Many Americans who usually visit family and friends by plane are driving shorter distances instead this week. Some mental health experts say the attacks have frightened people. They say people feel safer and happier close to home. More than any other holiday, Thanksgiving is a celebration of family and home. Many people say that this year they are especially thankful for their families and friends and the good things in their lives. On Thanksgiving, people enjoy a long day of cooking, eating and talking. The traditional meal almost always includes the turkey with a bread mixture cooked inside. Other traditional Thanksgiving food served with turkey are sweet potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pie. Stores are said to sell more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year, and many people eat more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year. Over the years, Americans have added new traditions to their Thanksgiving celebration. For example, a number off professional and university football games are played on Thanksgiving Day. Some of the games are broadcast on national television.
