去美国旅游的作文英语最新20篇

Early this morning, we took a flight to San Francisco. One of the things that impressed me most was the visit to the Intel museum.

Had no sooner arrived at the museum of strong science and breathed, threshold before those incredible illusion, now all become a reality in my eyes, most especially, I saw "anatomy" internal computer, reminds people of multifarious, the winding river maze.

The computer that we normally see is always so convenient, which brings people many benefits, but who thought how complicated it is inside? Today I finally saw the hard-won computer. The main thing in the computer is the chip, which looks like a labyrinth with no end. Its hard to make a chip.

First, cut the chip plate at the bottom of the well, but at the bottom of the plate, but have to hard gold wire to build by laying bricks or stones becomes, in the process of making chips, making people have to keep the body clean, because in the process of production, the chip can not be stained with a trace of dust inside. Otherwise, the previous efforts can be abandoned! The whole process must be careful, and every part needs to be carefully selected and meticulous. It is conceivable that a computer is made up of many "meticulous".

Its hard to make a computer, but the worlds elite have honed it in this difficult situation. As long as you work hard, you can create your own life and the world. Today I am proud of mankind, tomorrow man is proud of me.

Chinese Families and American Families

提纲

1。 中国家庭与美国家庭的共性。

2。 中国家庭与美国家庭的个性。

Both Chinese families and American families are smaller than they used to be。 Most young Chinese parents have only one child， while young Americans also prefer to have fewer children than their parents have。

However， unlike the Chinese young people， many young American couples think it is not easy to get along with their parents。 They will leave their parents and have their own homes once they get married。 Many of them would almost never live with their parents again。 It is a sad thing indeed。

Things are different in China。 Both the young and the old admit the problems between them， but they will try to understand each other。 Besides， sons and daughters in China will feel that they must take care of their old parents while old people cannot help wanting to do some thing for their busy children。 So it is still very common in todays China to see married sons and daughters living with their parents。 However， China no longer has families where four generations live under the same roof。

This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. The writer O’Henry called it the one day that is purely American. Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday. But it has ritual meaning. Some Americans attend religious services on the day before Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving morning. Others travel long distances to be with their families. They have a large dinner which is the main part of the celebration. For many Americans, Thanksgiving is the only time when all members of the family gather. The holiday is a time of family reunion. Thanksgiving week is generally one of the busiest travel times of the year. However, experts say this year probably will be different. 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.

This afternoon, MOM and dad took me to the Mountain Park. After meandering of a shady path, we climbed up the mountain.Along the way, some unknown flowers are shouted at me and smiled! birds melodious singing seemed to welcome my arrival, the fragrance of delicious odor melts your heart all into, flora footpath, a butterfly in a dance.  Everywhere trees ocean breeze blowing leaves rustled like and sing with the birds, really beautiful! on a walk in the beautiful forest path, as though we were getting into paradise.

Summer is coming up, it was getting hot, and the mountain under the tree back and forth to get busy, several obscure bugs out, dad took his camera took some unknown bugs, actually photographed a lizard messed upand dropped the run out of the ride, commonly known as "lizard", this is the first time I saw it in the wild! Standing on the peak, and it was around, look at the past of the city also has a very special feeling, xinanjiang squiggles goes the distance, both sides of the feijia River like a rainbow across the hengjiang, Hui camel stands quietly, watching the eyes back and forth, busy people.

Today, mountaineering really let me bang, not only see the beautiful scenery of mountains, and also appreciate the beauty of the mountain city.

The fields his study， nature was his book.

Travelers can choose different modes of transportation which have advantages and disadvantages. Airplanes are the fastest but also the most expensive. Buses and trains are less expensive， but they soon make you feel cramped and uncomfortable. Ships provide you with comfort unless you get seasick. Most people can afford traveling by bicycle， which， although slow， can limber up your muscles and get you closer to nature.

范文二：文明旅游

有些旅游景点的文物景观遭到了严重的破坏，致使最近文明旅游的倡议越来越受重视，因此就“游客可付费在仿造长城上涂写留言”发表看法。

内容包括：(1)谈谈对某些人喜欢在旅游景点随便涂鸦留言的看法;

(2)对专门修一段仿造城墙让游客付高价留言的做法你是赞成还是反对，并简要陈述你的理由。

It is reported that tourists to China’s Great Wall can now leave their mark on a fake(伪造的) wall recently built near the real wall in Badaling if they pay 999 yuan.

In China, many visitors have the hobby of carving graffiti on places of interest, especially on some famous cultural relics. Last year I went to the Great Wall and found many people had left names and ugly words on the Wall, which destroys many historic bricks. In my opinion, such people should feel ashamed of leaving their marks on the great relics which were created by our ancestors.

So personally, I quite agree with this brilliant project though it has caused criticism from some people. The Great Wall would be ruined one day if we didn’t take any steps to protect it. The fake wall is a really good idea because it will protect our relics as well as making profits from the project

the ways of history are so intricate and the motivations of human actions so complex that it is always hazardous to attempt to represent events covering a number of years, a multiplicity of persons, and distant localities as the expression of one intellectual or social movement; yet the historical process which culminated in the ascent of thomas jefferson to the presidency can be regarded as the outstanding example not only of the birth of a new way of life but of nationalism as a new way of life.

the american revolution represents the link between the seventeenth century, in which modern england became conscious of itself, and the awakening of modern europe at the end of the eighteenth century. it may seem strange that the march of history should have had to cross the atlantic ocean, but only in the north american colonies could a struggle for civic liberty lead also to the foundation of a new nation.

here, in the popular rising against a "tyrannical" government, the fruits were more than the securing of a freer constitution. they included the growth of a nation born in liberty by the will of the people, not from the roots of common descent, a geographic entity, or the ambitions of king or dynasty.

with the american nation, for the first time, a nation was born, not in the dim past of history but before the eyes of the whole world.

星期五中午，爸爸来学校接我去宁波旅游。

我乘坐客车在高速公路上开了一个小时，到了著名的杭州湾大桥，大桥架在东海上，像一条巨龙跨越杭州湾，气势磅礴。远远望去有一座座小岛，在桥下有停机坪和浮标。 客车用了二十分钟跑完了全长三十六公里的大桥到了余姚。我先来到明清遗留下来的孔庙，孔庙的门槛都很高，要把腿抬得很高才能跨进去，导游说，这是因为孔庙是古代人学习的场所，有很多学问的人才能进去。

星期六，我们离开了余姚到了宁波的老外滩——三江源。我们乘游船，看到了两岸一幢幢漂亮的新楼鳞次栉比，使人感到耳目一新，就像我们上海的浦东。 晚上，我们回上海的途中去了金山的农家乐吃饭，那里的农民是用灶台做饭的，烧出的菜饭香喷喷的，我一口气吃了三碗，涨得肚子圆滚滚的。

The understanding of American culture must not end with what we know on TV, because she has the most distinctive features of her own, which is diversity. As a country with a large immigrant population, the United States does not have a unique way of life, there is no only standard of conduct, and there is no unique culture. The diversity of the United States penetration in all aspects of the country, the following guidelines may not be able to help you overcome all from the cultural differences, but hope to everyone to prepare for the basic study in the United States and general plan to help.

Americans have a very different lifestyle than Chinese people. American food is light and easy to make, and the main course is meat, fish and chicken. A meal usually consists of only one main course, and salads and coffee are by no means less. Hot dogs and hamburgers are two of the most popular fast foods.

Americans are so active that more than a fifth of them move every year. The most detailed list of houses and apartments available on Sunday in newspapers across the country can be used to find homes or to find local estate agents. In addition to paying for rent, the rent house generally pays for utilities, namely gas, electricity, heating, hot water and simple electrical repairs and other repairs. The rent is usually a month, usually on the first day of the month. Electricity in most parts of the United States is 110-120 volts, 60Hz.

Almost every home in the United States has a car, and the American highway is very developed and accessible, so many americans work very far from where they live. They often go on a family trip during the holidays. The most popular means of transportation in the city are buses and subways. The subway is usually run day and night. Taxis are usually paid by distance or by distance. The whole country executes the right driving, the big city executes traffic regulation especially strict.

The American concept of time

Because of the fierce competition, the American society is full of movement and change, people are always in a hurry, and the result also has formed the americans time view of tension. "Time is money" is the most accurate expression of the American attitude to time. Americans value time more than just because they think time is a tangible thing, but more importantly they recognize the urgency and lack of time. Americans believe that the question of time can fully reflect a persons self-cultivation, and his respect for others. Therefore, it is necessary to have a detailed schedule and strict adherence to it.

So we stress that being on time is not just about the individuals schedule, but if youre not on time, it reflects your lack of respect for others time. In the study of life, apart from being on time, it is necessary to observe the deadline of various learning tasks. American schools generally teach students a subject, and then a group of students form a study group. Everyone is responsible for different aspects of learning team, if you dont have the prescribed deadline to complete you responsible for that part, influence is the whole teams performance, it is also a lot of American students constantly complaining about a problem. So being on time is a basic requirement for studying and living in the United States.

The way americans communicate

Talking to people is the most basic form of interpersonal communication. When youre talking to friends from all over the world, youre not just talking to each other, youre communicating with each other. The way language is expressed can often reflect the characteristics of a particular region or country.

Direct refreshing

Most of the time, conversations in the United States belong to a tendency to get information. They like to ask a lot of questions, and in a very direct way. They will use the most simple and direct language to get the information they want, the process, if they do not pay too much attention to wording beautiful, whether express tactfully, it sometimes inevitably conceded the interlocutors have a feeling not too polite. Answer this question, too, when the answer is no, americans will tell you "no" directly, also wont go to touch up for his answer, and if you dont have to know in advance to their speech habits, it felt embarrassed is inevitable.

Positive questions

Another obvious feature of the American way of communication is that there is no hesitation in asking questions. In the course of conversation, if americans dont understand what they dont understand, they often ask each other questions in a timely manner until they understand it. This feature is encouraged in class. In American classrooms, students can present any questions to the classroom at any time, and the lecturers will be more than happy to answer questions for students. Therefore, American classroom will always make students absorb knowledge in a relaxed, interactive and positive atmosphere.

body language

The tools of human communication are not just words, but body language. Spoke of the gestures, body posture, and facial expressions are the key to proper use of body language, we will divide the occasion, object, subject of flexible adjustment and use body language. Eye contact is the key of the above elements. Keep your eyes on the other side of the conversation while youre talking. This is something americans value too much.

Here are a few topics that can be used to talk to almost all americans:

Weather and mood

Some of my past experiences

My own campus life, or work content

Car, fashion, shopping, TV, music, clothing and other casual topics

At the same time, we should avoid the following topics:

Savings, income and other topics related to the personal economic situation

Family situation

Religious beliefs and so on

The last thing to note is that when you dont have a good grasp of your sense of humor, its best not to play it at will. You know, different countries, different culture, have different understanding of humor, and the appropriate humor can active conversation atmosphere, it is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstanding, or conversely.

Were divided into 50 states, each state has different administrative rules and regulations, combined with geographical location, climate condition difference, leads to the residents of the states have different living habits. The same is true of Americas diversity.

Climate change is a top priority. On the other hand is psychological preparation. Residents in different regions have different characteristics, such as: the east people look is always in a hurry, rush about for work, but with their southern leisurely, quiet and warm hospitality is famous for its character, the residents of the Midwests character can be described as practical, stubborn, and tradition, the western residents seem to be more independent, attach importance to individualism, live along the west coast of the United States people impressed us is recreational, relaxed and optional. Youre going to be on a trip to the United States, and youre going to have to look at the cities where youre going to school, and youre going to have a general idea of what youre going to do in these areas.

对于美国文化的认识决不能止于从电视上了解到的内容，因为，她有着自己最鲜明的特点，那就是多样性。作为一个拥有庞大移民人口的国家而言，美国不存在唯一的生活方式，不存在唯一的行为标准，更不存在唯一的文化。美国的多样性渗透在国家的各个方面，以下的指南也许不能帮你克服所有因文化差异而带来的困扰，但希望能对大家为留学美国而做的基本准备和大致计划有所帮助。

美国人的生活习惯与中国人有很大不同，美国食物味道清淡，制作简单迅速，主菜为肉、鱼、鸡类。一餐中一般仅一道主菜，而沙拉和咖啡是绝不能少的。热狗和汉堡包是最流行的两种快速食品。

美国人生性好动，每年都有超过1/5的人搬家。各地星期日的报纸登载周内租售房屋与寓所的最详尽名单，可以通过这些资料找房子，也可以找当地的地产经纪人。租房子除要付租外，一般还要付公用事业费，即煤气、电、暖气、热水和简单的电器修理及其他修理费。租金通常一个月，一般每月的第一天付。美国大部分地区的电力为110-120伏，60Hz。

美国几乎每家都有小汽车，美国的高速路十分发达，四通八达，因此很多美国人工作地点与居住地很远。在假日里，他们经常全家驾车出游。市内最常用的交通工具是公共汽车和地铁。地铁一般都是日夜开行。出租汽车一般按路程(短程)或时间(远程)计费。全国实行靠右行车，大城市执行交通法规尤为严格。

美国人的时间观念

美国社会由于竞争激烈，充满了运动和变化，人们始终处于奔忙之中，结果也就养成了美国人的紧张时间观。“时间就是金钱”这句话是美国人对于时间的态度的最准确表达。美国人对于时间的珍视不仅仅因为他们认为时间是一种切实的事物，更重要的是他们认识到了时间的紧迫和缺乏。美国人相信，在时间的问题上可以充分反应出一个人的自身素质修养，以及他对于他人的尊重。所以，有一份详细的作息时间表，并严格的遵守它，是相当必要的。

所以我们强调做到准时，不仅仅是关乎到个人的日程安排，若你没有做到准时，反应出的是你对他人时间的不尊重。在学习生活中，除了准时上课外，更需要遵守的是各种学习任务的截止时间安排。美国学校的教学方式一般是老师安排给学生一项课题，然后会由学生几个人之间结成学习小组共同来进行。学习小组中的每个人都会负责不同的方面，如果你没有在规定的截止日期内完成你负责的那一部分，影响的就是整个小组的成绩，这也是很多美国学生不断在抱怨的一个问题。所以，做到准时是在美国学习和生活的一个最基本的要求。

美国人的交流方式

与人交谈是人际交往中最基础的形式。当你与来自世界各地的朋友们交谈时，你们之间交流的不仅仅是彼此的观点和话题，更深层次的是在进行着文化的交流。语言表达的方式往往可以反应出某个地区或是某个国家的特色。

◎直接爽快

大多时候，美国人的谈话属于有一种想要获取信息的趋势。他们喜欢提出很多问题，并且是用很直接的方式。他们会用最简单直接的语言表达来获取自己想要的信息，这过程中，他们并不太在意措辞是否优美，意思表达是否婉转等问题，这有时不免会让与之对话者有一种不太礼貌的感觉。回答问题也是一样，当答案是否定的时候，美国人会直接告诉你“不“，同样不会去为他的答案进行润色，若是你没有提前了解到他们这种说话习惯，那感觉尴尬就是在所难免的了。

◎积极提问

美国人的交流方式中还有一个明显的特点就是毫不犹豫的提问。在交谈过程中，如果美国人有不明白，没听清的地方时，他们通常会及时的向对方把问题提出，直到弄懂为止。这一特点在课堂上成为被鼓励的做法。在美国的课堂上，学生可以随时向授课教室提出任何相关问题，而授课者都会极为乐意的为学生解答问题。所以，美国的课堂总是会让学生在轻松，互动，积极的氛围里吸收知识。

◎肢体语言

人类交流的工具不仅仅是语言，还有肢体语言。说话时的手势，身体的姿势，以及脸部的表情都是恰当运用肢体语言的关键，我们要分场合，分对象，分话题的灵活调整和运用肢体语言。其中目光接触则是上述要素中的关键。交谈时要时刻保持自己的目光是与对方相接触的，目光自然和善即可。这一点也是美国人相当看重的。

这里我们给大家提供几个很适合与几乎所有美国人交谈的话题：

天气情况和心情

自己以往的某些经历

自己的校园生活，或是工作内容

汽车，时尚，购物，影视，音乐，服装等休闲话题

同时我们应该避免以下话题：

存款，收入等与个人经济情况有关的话题

家庭情况

宗教信仰等等

最后需要提醒大家的一点是，当你对自己的幽默感并没有十足的把握时，最好不要随意发挥它。要知道，不同国家，不同文化，对幽默的认识是有所不同的，恰当的幽默可以活跃谈话气氛，反之则很容易引起不必要的误解或是不愉快。

美国一共划分为50个州，每个州都有不同的行政法规，再加上地理位置，气候条件的差异，就导致了各州的居民都有着不同的生活习惯。这里同样体现的是美国的多样性。

气候不同是首要考虑的问题。另外一方面就是心理上的准备。不同地区的居民有着不同的性格特征，比如：东部的人看起来总是匆匆忙忙的，为工作而奔波着，南部的人却是以他们悠闲，平静并且热情好客的性格特点而闻名，中西部的居民的性格可以被形容成实际的，固执的，还有一点传统，西部居民显得比较独立，重视个人主义，沿西海岸居住的美国人给我们的印象就是休闲，放松，随意。将要踏上美国之旅的你，需要针对就读学校所处城市，在这些方面搜集资料，提前有个大体的概念。

Journey to Australia

Australia is one of the famous Oceanian country. The country is famous for its wool production and seashore tour. As the climate there is warm and comfortable, many people spend vocations there every year. I’m a super fan of water entertainment, so I choose it as my destination.

In Australia, the sky is bluer than blue, the clouds are whiter than white, all the local people enjoy an optimistic and active life. They also show their kindness and enthusiasm to the tourists.

The first step should be Sydney Opera which is among the most brilliant and splendid architectures in the world. Many world-class plays are put on in it .The surface and shape of it is like a seashell with glory decorations inside.

Then Melbourne is a good choice to be as the next step. In Melbourne, skin screen is a must to take with as the sunshine is upset and may burn your skin. The most attractive thing to me is the Australia Open, which is one of the biggest world-class tennis competition. Many great players such as Roddick Federer and its local player Hewitt etc. gather to compete. It’s really a feast for the eyes.

Australia is also home to one of the most challenging and exciting surfing and diving projects. As we know, it is always called “a country riding on the back of sheep”. From the interesting saying ,we can know something about the rich wool-production country. If you love animals, kangaroos and kaolas are good company to you .

So don’t forget Australia when you plan a trip.

I went to three cities to play during last summer holidays. They are

Beijing, Dalian and HuHehot.

I went to Beijing more than eight times. Beijing is the capital of China.

It’s a big city. I am very familiar with Beijing. It takes an hour and forty

minutes from Nantong to Beijing by plane. There are many tall buildings in

Beijing. It’s a modern city. My family visited the Great Wall, the Summer

Palace, the Palace Museum, the Beihai Park, the Space Museum, etc. I went to the

countryside of Beijing to go boating and fishing. It was very interesting. I

went shopping in WangFuJing. I bought lots of souvenirs and other things. I like

eating Beijing snacks. They are delicious. Don’t mithe Beijing Duck. It is

really nice.

Dalian is a beautiful city. Dalian is close to Beijing. I spent 5o minutes

on the plane. Dalian is near the sea. I smelled the salty taste in the air. The

roads are clean. There are lots of trees and flowers near the roads. There are

many esplanades and Japanese buildings. There are some fountains in one of the

esplanades. Some people flew kites and walked on the esplanades. We went to see

the beach and the sea. The sea is blue. There were many swimmers in the sea. I

lay on the beach to see the sky.Dalian is a very nice place to live.

Huhehot is in Inner Mongol. There are lots of large grasslands. The

grasslands are endless. The sky is bright blue. There were a lot of horses and

sheep. They were running or eating grass. I rode a horse on the graland. I

picked some colourful flowers. We drank the tea with milk. There is a small

desert, it was very hot when I walked on it. The sand could sing.

These trips helped me open my eyes. I enjoyed my day.

ghosts and goblins are more than halloween decorations or costumes for many americans who confessed they believe in the supernatural and returning from the grave。

thirty—seven percent of 2，100 adults questioned in a zogby interactive poll said they think ghosts are real， and 23 percent believe they have been visited by a deceased relative or friend。

even the 22 percent who said they have not had any ghostly experiences themselves know someone who has。

"more than a third of americans have this belief that ghosts do exist，" said a spokesman for zogby， adding that the findings were surprising。

nearly half of those questioned said if they could be a ghost， they would choose to come back as themselves。

but belief in the supernatural is not required to enjoy halloween。 eighty—seven percent of parents said their children would be dressing up for the holiday and 71 percent would be trick—or—treating。

but 41 percent of adults said they were not celebrating halloween， including 12 percent who cited religious reasons。

serial killers were deemed to be the scariest costumes， followed by the walking dead and zombies。

When holiday comes, thousands of people pour into the tourist sites, they want to relax themselves and enjoy the beautiful scenery. But Chinese people have a bad habit, they like to leave some notes on the site, proving them have been here before.

Such a behavior has been criticized by the public, because the leaving note will damage the preservation of the tourist site.

Most of the tourist sites are part of our country’s historical relics, these sites are priceless, it is everyone’s duty to protect the sites.

When we go to travel, we should behave ourselves. First, we need to have the idea that no rubbish being leaved behind when we leave the site. We should take away what we bring, keep the environment clean. Second, no any notes being written in the sites. Though in the old days, Chinese workers like to leave their names on the sites, but now it is a new world, we need to behave ourselves.

当节假日到来的时候，成千上百的人聚集在旅游景点，他们想要放松，享受美丽的风景。但是中国人有一个坏习惯，他们喜欢在景点留下一些记号，证明曾经在此旅游。这样的行为遭到了大众的批评，因为留下的记号会破坏景点的保存。

大部分景点是国内的历史文物，是无价的，保护文物是每一个人的责任。

当文明旅游时候，应该要规范自己的行为。第一，文明需要有这样的观念，当我们离开景点时，不能留下垃圾，拿走带来的一切。第二，不在景点留下记号。虽然在古代，中国的文人喜欢留下他们的名字，但是现在是新时代，我们要规范自己的行为。

before the 1850s, the united states had a number of small colleges, most of them dating from colonial days. they were small, church connected institutions whose primary concern was to shape the moral character of their students.

throughout europe, institutions of higher learning had developed, bearing the ancient name of university. in german university was concerned primarily with creating and spreading knowledge, not morals. between mid-century and the end of the 1800s, more than nine thousand young americans, dissatisfied with their training at home, went to germany for advanced study. some of them return to become presidents of venerable colleges-----harvard, yale, columbia---and transform them into modern universities. the new presidents broke all ties with the churches and brought in a new kind of faculty.

professors were hired for their knowledge of a subject, not because they were of the proper faith and had a strong arm for disciplining students. the new principle was that a university was to create knowledge as well as pass it on, and this called for a faculty composed of teacher-scholars. drilling and learning by rote were replaced by the german method of lecturing, in which the professors own research was presented in class. graduate training leading to the ph.d., an ancient german degree signifying the highest level of advanced scholarly attainment, was introduced. with the establishment of the seminar system, graduate student learned to question, analyze, and conduct their own research.

at the same time, the new university greatly epanded in size and course offerings, breaking completely out of the old, constricted curriculum of mathematics, classics, rhetoric, and music. the president of harvard pioneered the elective system, by which students were able to choose their own course of study. the notion of major fields of study emerged. the new goal was to make the university relevant to the real pursuits of the world. paying close heed to the practical needs of society, the new universities trained men and women to work at its tasks, with engazuowenng students being the most characteristic of the new regime. students were also trained as economists, architects, agriculturalists, social welfare workers, and teachers.
