1000暑假旅游收获作文
全文共 481 字
+ 加入清单又一个暑假来临了,我一定要过一个快乐、充实、文明、有意义的暑假。
这一次的暑假,我和妈妈去安吉旅游了一天,看到了许多美丽的景色,但是也看到了很多不文明的行为。
我和妈妈玩完漂流,就去“长龙百瀑”那里看瀑布。我们看到了一个最长的瀑布——长龙飞瀑,它的落差有60多米,留下来可以说是“一波三折”。我看见旁边有一些木匠正在做休息用的亭子,一些不要的木头就扔在瀑布的旁边。原来美丽壮阔的瀑布就被木匠们破坏了。在爬山的过程中,我还看到不少很粗的竹子,被刻上了字,“到此一游”等字随处可见……
做公交车回家的路上,我和妈妈吃的零食,都扔在了清洁袋里。快下车了,我和妈妈背好背包,拎好袋子,准备下车了。这时,妈妈看见了挂在车座后面的清洁袋,准备把清洁袋拎走,说:“我们应该把这些垃圾拎走吧?”不知道是在对我说,还是在自言自语。“不用了吧,就留在这里好了。”“为什么不用?应该把它扔到垃圾桶里。”“好吧。”我和妈妈下了车,把垃圾扔进了垃圾桶里。
少乱扔一些垃圾,少破坏一些树木,多种一些植物,都能为我们赖以生存的环境做出一份贡献。让我们爱护身边的植物,爱护身边的环境,这样生活就会更美。

+ 加入清单Hello everyone. My name is Alec. I’m so glad to be here. My topic is my holiday.
Today is my holiday. I ask my mum, “Can we go to Baiyun Mountain with Dad?” “Good idea,” says mum. We pack some water and snacks, and then we drive there. There are two ways to the top of the mountain. We choose the steeper one because we want a challenge. The scenery is very beautiful. There are trees and flowers everywhere. We see a beehive with bees busy working. We meet a lot of people on the way. Some of them are singing, some of them are dancing, and some of them are playing with their family.
When we climb halfway up the mountain, it is getting steeper and steeper. We are bathed in sweat. Mum and I are tired to walk. Dad says, “keep on going. Where there is a will there is a way.” At last we climb to the summit. We are very happy though we arevery tired. From the peak of Baiyun Mountain we can see the whole city of Guangzhou. It is so beautiful. We sit down, relax, and enjoy our snacks.
I wish I could have more time like this to relax with my family.

篇3:享受假期英语作文
全文共 724 字
+ 加入清单暑假到了,去乡村拜访爷爷。看到鸡棚里有几只可爱的小鸡,我说“这些鸡这么可爱,让我喂它们几天吧!”妈妈说,喂鸡要负责啊!是非常辛苦的。我点了点头,心想:我肯定能把鸡喂好,你们放心吧。于是我当鸡妈妈的日子开始了??
第一天喂鸡时,我兴趣颇浓。我手中捧着饲料,小鸡门争先恐后的扑过来,生怕抢不上食物,它们用力地啄着饲料,又是还会啄到我的手,又疼又痒。我轻轻抚摸着它们的绒毛,他们高兴地叫几声便跑开了,我望着消极屁颠屁颠的身影不禁哑然失笑。
一天,我想为小鸡加一些营养,就逮了几只蚂蚱喂小鸡。谁知有一只霸王鸡,它一口叼起蚂蚱便跑了。跑到一边,它才开始一口一口吃美餐。吃完后,用爪子刨刨脖子,很满足的样子。可是其他小鸡不愿意了,叽叽叽叽叫个不停,表示抗议。霸王鸡用凶狠的眼神盯着它们,猛地冲过去,其他小鸡吓得跑开了。这只鸡的个头明显比其他小鸡的大。他毛色光泽,一副雄赳赳气昂昂的样子。显然像一个黑xx老大。
我站在院中,看见天边飘过来一些黑云,心想:最好晚上别下雨,不要把小鸡淋湿了。可是天有不测风云,半夜我在梦想中时,一个炸雷把我惊醒了,我立即翻身起来,冲到鸡棚,只见小鸡在外面缩成一团,惊慌失措,他们还没见过
下雨,因此非常的恐惧,浑身哆嗦着不停,这些傻鸡呀!自己不知避雨,在外面一直淋着雨。我急忙把它们抱到一个避雨的地方,才安心回去睡了。第二天我起床一看,小鸡死了一只,我心疼极了,觉得自己对不起小鸡,应该更加仔细的照顾小鸡。我怀着歉意的心情,把小鸡埋在了土里。
我当鸡妈妈的日子就要结束了。我每天都要替它们着想,自己还没吃上饭小鸡就先吃上了。我感到非常的辛苦。转念又想,我照顾几天小鸡就这么累,那母亲把我们抚养成人的辛苦可想而知。我心中对母亲产生了由衷的敬意。
篇4:关于旅游的英语日记100字
全文共 508 字
+ 加入清单A new language opens up a whole new culture. A foreign language gives us access to another culture, and our lives take on a new dimension. The great German poet, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, said in 1827: "Whoever is not acquainted with foreign languages knows nothing of his own." Seen like that, learning a language is almost comparable to a journey of discovery - and if we remember the great explorers and the 18th century gentlemans grand tour, you might almost call it a British invention.

篇6:我的假期旅游作文
全文共 585 字
+ 加入清单在这个寒假假期,也就是我在小学阶段的最后一个假期里,大人们为了避开城市的嘈杂声,到清静的地方享受一下,于是带我到鼎湖山附近的凤凰镇游玩。鼎湖山主要分为两大景区:一是由主道上主峰到大鼎和庆云寺;二是从凤凰镇进去的九龙湖附近一带的雨林沟谷。
在这次旅游里让我感受最深的是第二天到牛归栏谷雨林探险的时候,那里十分刺激:单,双钢索悬在水面上,离水面有一米多两米那么高,而且每条至少有五米多,长的有十几米长,而容脚走的就只有一条几毫米宽的钢索。特别是那些单钢索,虽然没有双钢索那样长,但是由于上下两条钢索是垂直对齐的,所以爬的时候背脊不是向上就是向下,看上去已觉很危险,还有下面的索拉不直,站上去更让你心惊胆战。
而最难的就是爬那些山路了。那些所谓的山路其实是一些比较矮的悬崖峭壁罢了,只不过在两旁加了一排绳索和铁链,而且因为是雨林的关系,四周都有溪水流下来,加之有的石头上有青苔,所以经常都会太滑而差点跌到,又有的地方太陡峭太高,一定要抓紧绳索,用脚踩着石壁的凹痕和突出来的地方才能爬上去,从山脚到山上再出来至少要1个小时才能走完全程。而这个探险最可贵的是可以充分体现团队中的团结精神:后面的队员可以把上面的情况报告给前面的队员听(如树枝阿,岩石阿);而先锋则把前面的情况报告给后面的队员听(如湿滑的地面阿,钢索阿)。
这次旅我真高兴,因为我不但增长了知识,而且也懂得了怎样团结合作。
篇7:感恩节英语
全文共 1705 字
+ 加入清单Thanksgiving Day falls on the fourth Thursday of November every year. It is
the most truly American of the national Holidays in the United States. It is a
time for sharing. In the United States, it is their tradition that family
members get together for a reunion to have a traditional big dinner. On the
dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes.
There will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry
juice and squash. The best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and
pumpkin pie. Although it is the traditional festival of America, it reminds us
of appreciation.
Recently, I saw a piece of news on the newspaper. This news has a picture
matched. The picture shows that a young lady sitting on the seat of a bus. But
it is strange that an old lady sits on the leg of the young lady, which there
are still many empty seats on the bus. I am totally moved after reading this
news. The old lady is the mother of the young lady. The old lady had some
problem with her back and leg that she couldn’t sit independently. And her
daughter does not want to see her mother stand on the bus in such an old lady,
so I see situation on the picture. Having read this, my eyes become wet. When we
are young, our mother will often carry us if there is any inconvenient, but when
our mother gets old, we seldom carry her.
The ancients had a saying: dripping, the smallest favor. In this world,
there are many people who grace to us. Our parents are the two people who give
us most grace. When we grow up, we need to say our thanks to them. As far as I
am concerned, thanks the people do good to us, especially our parents should be
the theme of our Chinese Thanksgiving Day.
